Pryfsgoel Caerdydd - thats Cardiff University in Welsh
Hello ppls! its been a crazy long time since i last blogged, which was way back in brunei. i was just bored today, and i have no idea what made me remember, but i remembered about my blog! so i thought i'd make a post about my days in uni. :)
anyways, its been just over a month since i left the sad and depressing atmosphere back at Brunei International Airport... :( but since then, things have been good, not as bad as thought it would be. The first couple of days was reeeeallllyyy shit cuz i missed induction week AND a week of lectures, leaving me clueless like shit of wth was going on.
the first of class, i decided to walk from home hoping my trustworthy Cardiff map (the one the school gave) would be reliable enough to get me to my school....buttt noooooooo some of the streets on the damn sheet were nameless! so i had to spend 3 pounds on a proper map, which in the end did eventually take me to school....an hour later.
so anyways that day, i went to my first class and it was mechanics, with this lecturer Dr. Kuhaloo i think, or sumthn like that. i thought he was South african cuz he kinda had nick's complexion, and sounded kinda S.African. But i found out two days ago, he's actually Indian! very qualified man though. anyways, back to my story. after an hour of mechanics, i looked at my schedule and saw that i had another class after that in the same room. so i stayed inside for the next class. then suddenly when the woman lecturer came in and started talking, she was talking about all this shit i had no fucking clue what in the world it was about! so i was freaking out like shit, thinking, wth am doing here, this is bad! but then at the end of class, i asked the teacher if she had any spare notes, since i missed a week before. then she asked "are you a first year?" then i said "yeh". then all she said was, "you were in the wrong lecture, it says that this is a 'spare lecture' in your timetable" meaning it was an open lecture for classes that need more time for lectures. so i was basically in a third year lecture. phew.
other than that, my first week was great! i met a couple of friends, a few chinese malaysians, and this BBC (british born chinese) whos freakin smart. theyre all cool cuz they kinda remind me of brunei and the chinese ppl back home :) so im glad for that. they also make me study for once, which is a good thing. hahah.
what else aaah? uhhhh....well Cardiff itself is great! its a working class city where the standard of living is one of the cheapest in UK, which means i dont have to spend as much on rent and shit, leaving me with more pocket money! :D
last saturday i got a one-off job thing. its rugby season thingy, so wales is playing every week at the MILLENIUM STADIUM!!! (the place where FA cup finals used to be before Wembley was finished renovating) anyways, i got a job working as a "Programme Seller" (programme - the book with all the programmes of that match, schedule, player names, etc...) so i got to sell the programmes inside the stadium and watch the match for FREE!!! i was basically paid to watch. it was raining so the stadium roof thingy was closed which awesome!
ummm apa lagi ah... last week and this monday annd next monday i have 15% exams, so i studied like a mother fucker last week, leaving evrything last minute and stayed up till 2am. but the studying was worth it, at least i didnt feel clueless answering the questions.
ummmm, and so far thats everything new for now... im skyping with the lovely girlfriend who i miss oh so terribly. she's eating nasi with aunty sonia's deliciously made prawns. makes me miss her chicken curry, with kicap manis....mmmmmmmmmmm. syg, if possible pls tell aunty son to cook specially for me when i come back? :D i wish i was home :( i love you syg, so much... you know what would be great?? if you were here with me! wow!
Till next time, isa says.
Hope we'll all meet up again some time :)
