End of Semester 1

Happy Holiday people!

There was frost everywhere last week

It is the end of the year, we are now closer to a new beginning. Or is it the end of the world already according to some?

Nahhh, definitely not. :P

But, we can fake it and tell our children and grandchildren that there was such an event and tell them we survived it. haha. ;D *No we shouldn't lie*

Anyway, as I am currently in UK, the Christmas spirits are everywhere! Guildford town has been crowded with people; with those shopping for presents, preparing for the Christmas season, and those people who have exactly nothing to do with Christmas like me - the ones taking advantage of the sale. hehe..

The way people over here preparing for Christmas really reminds me of home when we have any festive seasons around the corner. Malaysia celebrates more than 5 festivity from Thaipusam to Chinese New Year. From Diwali to Eid Celebration. From Wesak Day to "Hari Gawai" and we even celebrate Christmas too. :) 

*Show off? - Nahh, only proud of my country*

Well, that is not the main point. The point I want to make here is that, I have been happily involving myself with their Christmas spirit over here. It is definitely a different environment here. Everyone is extremely excited for it. Who wouldn't? =_="

So, just before the Autumn semester came to an end, I have few programs in my calendar.

First was the secret santa among my classmates. :)

I received a very cute cup with the Disney's 101 Dalmatian dog on it. Just perfect to fill in my coffee and milo. :D Thanks to Rachita for it (She's my secret santa). Then we had few wonderful meals, like pizza, cakes & ice creams, bread and etc. We also played Monopoly while we were at it. Me and Aysha loss the game terribly. Haha, couldn't help it. Somebody have to lose in order for someone else to win right. ;)

Meet le classmates

Monopoly!
We even applied economics while we were at it.

The first team to go Bankcrupt

Next on my list of things to do was attending our very own, Compton House Christmas Party. We had LOADSSSS of food. Thanks to our main chef Lola for preparing it. It was extremely delicious. Everyone gave a contribution no matter how big or small it were, we all made it a success! I can't describe it to all of you enough with words, it was just magnificent. The food that is. :D

Thus, my first semester in Surrey now has officially comes to the end. With a great welcome and a perfect ending. I hope to have a fantastic semester again next year though and I really miss everyone!

Oh oh, I have a cousin visiting me currently. I am gonna tell all about it the next time I get my hands on this blog.

See you all soon! :)
