The next step

So, SPM results are coming out tomorrow. Can I say congratulations to all those receiving them in advance? You completed another education level! YEAY!

A friendly advice; 

No, it is not gonna be easier in University. 

What they tell you in school are all lies. 

"This will be the toughest phase in your life, Uni is so much easier."- A constant lie people tell you so you will be excited to go to University.

The funny thing is, once you are actually in the Uni, the truth prevails. - "This is the easiest thing you are going to see in your career."

Sorry, I am not trying to scare you but I am doing you a favour of telling you the reality. What you decide to do next, is really important. Therefore, DO WHAT YOU WANT!

For those, getting excellent grades, Congratulations. You have just made yourself eligible for a stepping stone to better future. Take a moment and think exactly what you want to become. Some of you might be so fortunate to receive various offers and scholarships. However, do evaluate them and choose the right one for you. Do not accept the offer just because they are from a reputable entity but rather choose them because they offer you what you needed to become what you dreamed of becoming. I have seen many people make a wrong decision after SPM because they were too eager to show-off or do not stand their ground. Sometimes, less is more. ;)

For those who are getting good grades, my advice are the same as above. Strive for it, you will never know what you are capable of unless you go for it. Oh and no matter how mixed you results are, keep a positive mind. You do not need to earn straight A+ to get the best, all you need to have is confidence and the willing to apply for the course you want (and even perhaps a scholarship) APPLY THEM ALL! A common mistake students do; are not applying. Before you say you are not qualified for it, read the requirements asked. Even if you do not meet them, just apply for it. What is written on your certificates are not the only thing the employer/interviewer look at.

Lastly, for those receiving a less better grades. Cheer up! This is only one phase of your life. There are plenty of other opportunities for you to grab. All you need is the willing to succeed. I have seen so many of my friends who may not be doing well in school but most of them are even doing better than me currently. If you are the ones who are really anticipating of getting a degree, then broaden up your choice. Do not limit yourself to only one particular institution. Consider all options available. No matter where you end up studying, you will basically learn the same thing. It is how you, yourself learn it, is important. If you are the type who are not fond of going to Uni, find something of your interest to improve you skills into. Getting into Uni is not the only option you have.  ;)

Be firm, decide for yourself. Do not let anyone else decide what you should or should not be doing. What you chose now, are going to stay on with you for the rest of your life. Make mistakes along the way. You learn better by making mistakes. Therefore, make sure it is your choice. Even if you make a mistake, it is your mistake so that you will never regret anything in the future.

Take control.

And before I forget, pray so that He gives you a clearer path and helps you in this.

God will not help those who refuse to help themselves. ;)

All the best!

SPRING! Come faster!

Would love to walk around without getting the shoes wet.

One moment it was sunny, next it was raining and then it was sunny again.

Worse; suddenly it was snowing and the wind was blowing as if they want everyone to fly off the ground.

Oh, UK. Is this your definition of Spring time?
I would like to see the squirrel back thin again running around the tree. Not like this.

Come faster please, my Spring?

2 Trips!

Hello everyone!

I am so sorry for not posting after such a long time.

Therefore, I am going to share not one but TWO of my trips last February.
(if and only if you want to know it, then you can continue reading)

Infront of the Bargate (Southampton)

First Trip - BRISTOL

The castle on top!

What is in Bristol? Well, for starters, I have friends there back from KDU. So, I went there to visit them. While I was there, I also met some other students there and hopefully I made friends with them already. haha.

I even baked Cinnamon Roles for them

Meet the the former KDU students

I went there with my other 2 friends from Surrey, so I guess it is a Surrey invasion? :P
It was a very short trip thus we did not do anything much there.

Have no idea what I was doing

As soon as we arrived in Bristol Temple Meads train station, we took the bus to the town centre. Bristol's shopping mall are wayyyyy better than those in Surrey. That is definitely true. haha.
Later, we met with some other Bristolians and they kindly accompany us until the rest of our day there.
Believe it or not, during the night, I actually studied in Bristol's University Library!

The infamous bridge

Directions to various places

On top of the tower. Took a while to actually get there.

The next day, we made our way to the famous bridge (have no idea what it is called) and also to the tower. I am pretty amazed by the tower. They have directions and distance to other places stated on top of the tower. After that, we hurriedly rush back to catch our train and return to Surrey.

The End.

Second Trip - Southampton

Us being crazy most of the time

The Southampton trip is organised by the Surrey Student Union. Me and some of other Surrey-ians went there with hopes of enjoying our trip. We enjoyed it indeed, enjoyed getting lost. =_="

We were so so sooooo lost.

I have no idea why but we concluded that Southampton is a city of lies! haha. (Just because we were lost most of it) Other than that, we really enjoyed getting around there. They have a huge mall (bigger than the ones in Bristol). Did not managed to see what is in it (as we were always lost) but it is huge alright.

Just some random pose

For lunch, we ate at the Kuti's Royal Thai Restaurant near the Dock. It is a halal place so yes, we enjoyed eating all the food. Take note that they offer buffet lunch every Sunday. The view are also magnificent, definitely a nice restaurant to dine in. ;)

Happy to finally be able to eat!

Looks like a museum at first glance

Then, we spent the rest of the days getting lost until it was time to go back to Surrey. haha. :P

SPRING IS HERE!

In conclusion, I am really lazy to write this post honestly. haha. Sorry for making you read such uninformative trips. However, do visit these places while you are in UK. Especially if you love shopping! ;)
