Haven't updated for a long time....

SO
I'm back in Brunei on 5 JULY.... What a relief...after 10 months abroad.

About my blog, I haven't updated it for 4 months. I was really busy and the school restricts access to blogs. So let me make an update on what I have done in the past 4 months apart from preparing for my exams which I think I have done alright.

21 June 2009
My trip to St. Andrews.

For those who don't know where St. Andrews is, ask the golfers. It's the birthplace of golf. The beaches and the University of St. Andrews are equally famous as well.


The church in St. Andrews. (It doesn't just look old... It was burned down many century ago.)


The beach in St. Andrews (with icy water)


One of the lawns at the University of St. Andrews.

Besides that, I also made a trip to University of Edinburgh, London School of Economics... I didn't bring a camera with me, so no photos.

I think the new building in CHMS is up and running already. I will make one trip there to have a look at the classrooms and the labs. I will also have to write a personal statement for my UCAS application form.

Will update again when I am back in Brunei.

Fire!!!

FIRE this morning in my hostel. 7am... and it's NOT a drill. All of us were chased out of the hostel. And I found myself outside, in sub-zero temperature, wearing only a short-sleeved T-shirt, long pants and a slipper. WTH?! I almost became the tallest ice pole in Glasgow. After spending 15 freezing minutes outside, we were asked to go in, with my body numb and painful from the cold. Then, back to my bed and Zzzzz....


3 fire engines here to help.

Not sure if there's really a fire. I neither see smoke nor feel any abnormal heat. We were not told where the fire has occurred and no one asked. I think it should be the kitchen. Who would be so boring to set a fire up at dawn?? Unless that person has lost all his sanity and feels happy to see us all awake and freezing at 7am in the morning...

My first non-drill fire experience,
Kuo Hong...

Life in Glasgow

Some pictures from Glasgow:


Just behind my hostel... McDonald's and Chopstix (chinese fast food restaurant)

Not to forget the Subway!!!
Now, some pictures from my living quarter:

Entrance to the hostel.

Bunk bed. I don't like stairs so I sleep on the lower bed.

Boring....!! the toilet.

Boring.....!! the bathroom

The only table in the room... The 3 of us have to share. Hence this.

I have one extra bed here. and I'm hoping someone to come and accompany me....hehe...
