Just skyped with kellyn and my family - grandma, aunts and uncles and baby cousins.
They miss me very much :D:D:D:D:D
Went to Sunderland with Rains to settle our hsbc stuff. Reason being that the one that Eldon Square had a power failure. omg-.- So we took the Metro for half and hour complaining and whining that we didnt bring our cameras etc. haha. a fun little outing we had there together(:
I skipped the initial plan of macaroni soup for dinner today. Feeling very lazy. The washing up of dishes especially...settled for some instant noodles instead.
I got my dhl parcel just yesterday. So... more clothes and my textbooks and notes from junior college. I hope it will come in handy! anddddd speaking of clothes. Omg, the closet that I have cannot contain all of my clothes... OW HOW HOW! I guess i need to re-organize all my stuff again! I can't wait for the week after next!!!! SHOPPINGGGGGGG - MORE CLOTHES AND SHOES!!!!((((((((((((((:
Because its activity week. There won't be the need to attend classes, but we would have assignments to complete. Good time to consolidate all my content!! and shop! haha.
I am feeling very tired now.
So I'm gonna finish up my work and head to bed!! gonna get up early for a run tomorrow morning!!!(:

It had almost been two weeks in Newcastle. Skyped with belsssss today :D happy much! Was making faces at each other which I snapped but I can't seem to locate the pictures. And I slang-ed in front of her. She just rolled her eyes at me. haha. miss her much...

I made friends in class. You'd be surprised that half the population in my class is from hong kong. But they are generally friendly people. I am back home early because I didn't need to attend the last class. It's a study clinic. Something like a consultation with teachers. We weren't taught much so there was nothing to consult the teachers. And I had a library tour today!!! omg. They taught us to use the computer search system? Much like ngee ann's OPAC. was complaining to bel on skype. she just lol-ed at me-.-

Walked back home with Chloe, one of my classmates. And yup that was my day.

All teachers are so fond of self introductory presentations here! You do up this worksheet with questions asking "why did you choose Newcastle?", "where are you from", etc... Yup. And we did this twice today. I could see everyone's sick faces. And I feel like I started things right today. Like a good student :D I went to the library with my flatmate, Rains to do up our homework, and I got some research material for Economics. Well, that's a good start yea?! I wanna keep this up (: Despite the famous night life here, I'm not here for that. So yup. School and home. That's gonna be my life. Plus cook! As much as I hate smelling like oil when I leave the kitchen, cooking is an essential here. A survival skill!! Gosh. All you people reading this, Ger sounds like a changed person ya? Speaking of which, I boiled water today!! First time in my life. Congratulate me!!!!! hahahaha.

Okay, i'm gonna collect my clothes from the laudry!! Buh-bye!

My room pictures!(:

Hey guys!! how are you doing?
i can't control my excitement because i have finally gained access to the internet. But its via a secured network, so i can't use the wifi. but anyways, i finally have web access! omg its been freaking five days-.-
no use of the computer...

I'm not going to lie. living alone is not easy. My mom came with me to newcastle to settle me in. she made sandwiches for me yesterday and cooked for a few friends and I the two nights before. I cried when I got here because I miss home and Jo so god damn badly. When I talked to daddy, I cried. When I called Jo, I cried.
I was a princess at home. Now, I have to start from scratch. Takeaways, instant microwaves, COOK. omg. I hate smelling like oil. But yea. I'll have to suck it up and become a big girl. Not a baby. Sounds all grown up huh? Believe me, I'm still trying to suck it up inside. School's starting next week so... hopefully everything will become better(:

Anyways, pictures!!!!!
  
Nearing to touch down in Newcastle airport
 
On the way to my accomadation
 
 
 
Uncle John and Auntie Yvonee. They call me almost every day to ask how i'm doing. Uncle John's a friend of my dad(:
 
 
 
 
  
A close up of the menu
 
It doesn't look very appetizing here yea? I know vivo's carnivore is better, but the turkey(chicken) and beef here is not bad. This place is called Toby Carvery. Its a place where the English go for Sunday Roast.
 
Their house
 
 
 A fresh and sweet prune from their garden
 
 A budding rose from their garden too!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is River Tyne where all the night scenes happen. Newcastle is very well-known for their night scenes. Just three four days in school, I'm getting a pamphlet almost everyday telling me there's a party going on somewhere later this month.
 
 
 This place is called the Sage if i'm not wrong. For the artsy people (:
  
yup and this is me(:
 
My first class - Registration to be recognised as a student here
 
This is where some of the matches of the premier leagues happen. Newcastle United owns this. They are a listed company according to Uncle John. And I have never learnt about them until I got here. Heehee
  
The new business school that they're building.
  
On my way to Eldon Square...
 
Their Chinatown.
 
 This is the view that I get whenever I walk home from school.
And finally, my smartcard that I got today(:

So yup, that's my past 6 days in Newcastle. My room is in a huge mess so I'm not gonna post pictures of them up. Tidy it up first. Lessons start at 10 tomorrow. Gonna head to bed now. Really long day.
Night world!
