Workshop man!

my exams are over already.. but im not totally free yet. i got 4 days of compulsary manufacturing workshop course. At the end of this course, i will get a certificate stating that i am capable of using the workshop in imperial. It's been a rountine for me for the past couple of days.. waking up at 7:30am, have breakfast, take the tube to college, workshop time, lunch n games in ming's room (thanks to izzi n his Xbox), more workshop, hang around n go shopping, have dinner in brunei hall, go back at 12am n sleep at 1ish. All in all this is pretty tiring but FUN!

Made a rubber band car in the workshop in a day! It runs like a toy car!

how the rubber band is attached.. this is a pretty blurry picture. will dismantle the car to take a better picture next time.

Dinner at Four Seasons after workshop

King Prawn Egg Fu Yong!

Fried Frog Legs with the sweet sauce! mmm..

Played pictionary in brunei hall after dinner at 4 seasons. was my 2nd time playing it.. a darn funny night there~ Went from drawing to acting out the words on the card..

Went to Nandos in bayswater to have dinner yesterday night with izzi n ming, then we decided to watch "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". it was a terrible movie.. first time watching Indiana Jones n i am not impressed.. especially when the movie ticket cost me 9.60 pounds.

What a way to kill time in London!

1 more week..

Step-up

Took my last exam yesterday.. it went terrible.. leaving out 3 questions totally blank out of 8 n guessing the rest.. this mechatronics paper was probably the hardest one out of all the years. this is definitely a step-up from the previous past papers. im just hoping i pass that paper.. anyways, finished my exam at 11:30am on tuesday.. walked to brunei hall through hyde park.. it was a pretty relaxing walk especially after the exams..

Went to Satay House with ming, tieng, izzi, chia, suang, shin and chiann for lunch. A homey-place.. ahh back like the times in brunei~ It's quite pricy when compared to brunei standards though.. but it's definitely a treat after all the hard work!

My nasi lemak n ice teh tarik!

Nasi goreng

Kari Mee

Went to tottenham court road after lunch.. my first time there.. apparently there's a road where ming, izzi n dave named 'magic road'.. a road filled with electronic shops. u can basically find any electronic gadgets there, whether it be laptops, cameras, mobile phones, earphones.. u name it~

I was on the hunt for new earphones... tried on the UE super fi 3 studio.. was impressed with it.. the amount of isolation it provided n the bass.. definitely a step-up from the free ipod earphones.. however i didnt buy it - price was 85 pounds which i later found out on amazon was actually 51 pounds. Settled for the shure se210 instead (ming's recommendation). i didnt want to spend tat much on earphones.. i got more things i wan to get! haha

Bought a few goodies here n there.. ended up in carnaby street again.. chia n suang with their pink bench..

some building in carnaby street

Walked all the way to china town.. decided to have dinner there but before that.. time for some ice cream in Ciaoz~ Went there coz ming, shin n chiann havent been there before..

Ming's pineapple ice cream

Shin's Strawberry ice cream

My walnutt ice cream which everyone found bitter? its ok wa~

Suang's ball ice cream?

Chia's Ferrero Rocher ice cream

Chiann's Kiwi drink n eat ice cream.. mmm its got such a nice taste.. Heineken beer with ice cream.. top notch~

Went to misato in china town for dinner. What a splendid day after the exams! sunny as well!


its coming on the way~

One Hardcore Week

alrite guys, its been quite some time i've blogged.. this week just passed by so fast.. had 4 exams, 4 down n dusted n 1 more to go! i cant possibly say i have done well on all the exams.. its not like A levels anymore where the passing mark is pretty high compared to the mere 40% pass mark in uni. this percentage may look low, but dont be decieved by it. It's a whole new level! nyways, enough of talking about my exams. i just hope my results come out the way i want them.

Watched the first half of the Manu Chelsea Champions League final on wednesday night.. it was a thriller, with Manu scoring 1st - Cristiano with his open-header. Chelsea hit back right before half time when Lampard score an easy flick in. After that, i was back in the room, hammering away at those maths questions, but with my mind on the game. PENALTIES! Manu was on the verge of losing when Cristiano's penalty got saved by Cech (chances of him shooting to the right of him is very rare).. if only u were to here.. u would have seen Nigel in despair! hahaha.. it was going to be the final shot of the game with Terry coming up to take it.. he missed the penalty cos he slipped! Chelsea's luck got worse when Anelka misses right after.. Manu with the double this year! GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!

3 more weeks...

Sleeping Disorders?

hey guys.. its been quite some time u hvn't heard from me. nothing much has been happening lately because everyone is preparing for their final exams.. n so m i.. i have been doing the so-called 'hardcore' continuous studying for the past few days.. trying to nail thermofluids n do the past papers.. but to no avail. the exam questions are extremely difficult. it drives me to the point of being stressed out every night before i sleep.. but i know how to even things out.. went to the gym twice this week to exercise..
can't sleep properly for the past few days.. don't really know the reason behind this.. im assuming its the weather.. its been getting really warm in London n in my room especially.. with temperatures hitting up to 23ish degrees. its steaming, considering tat there is no air-con here unlike brunei where i get to have cool air in a click of a button.
Watched a movie called 'The Eye', starring Jessica Alba as the main actor who was blind, in my hall on nigel's laptop. It's an supposedly a horror movie, but i didn't find it any scary.. well maybe its just me..
As for now, i better get going. i need some sleep!

zZz

A month of Finals!

the title says it all.. with my exams looming up in 2 weeks time, Manu playing Chelsea in Champions League n the final show down in EPL. nyways, i have been quite busy these past few days, hammering through those tut sheets n past papers for mechatronics.. but the worse is yet to come with thermofluids, maths n MMD still totally untouched!
Not only did i study but went out this weekend with Chia, Suang n Chern Ming... went to TPT to have lunch then to Ciaoz in Leciester Square for some alcoholic ice-cream, which Chia n Suang was looking forward to.. never knew Chern was that into photos (him n his BLUE ANGEL! haha)

Chia n Suang came over to my hall today, had dinner (sweet n sour chicken, potatoes with beef n beef with mushroom in tomato sauce).. then they are on their way back now as i m typing..

nyways, i better get going.. im gna leave u guys with these pictures when we were in Bar Ciaoz.

Chern with his BLUE ANGEL!

Suang with her tiramisu cake ice-cream

Me with my hazelnut ice cream. damn.. i look hideous with my moustache n beard. btw if ure wondering why my photo is the only one which is slanted, its coz of Chia!

Chia with her banana + a load of other stuff in there ice cream.. the most expensive of the bunch!
