And to think that it isn't even winter yet :PI just discovered something funny.. I'm a Computer Science student here, but oddly none of my classes take place in the main Electronics and Computer Science buildings at all, except for three Electronics labs this semester and one weekly tutorial session with my tutor group.. :/And myNorhidayahnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110544.post-1130017405099675212005-10-23T01:31:00.000+01:002005-10-22T23:30:17.693+01:00Things I've Learned About Living in Southampton1. How many cities actually have two different dedicated bus services serving two different universities, spanning across the whole area? This city's a (stingy) student's paradise, I tell you!2. It's impossible to do my laundry on a 'busy' Sunday. On Saturday nights, however, I can pick and choose which machine I want to use.3.

Went to Gunwharf Quays, a shopping complex that has so many branded factory outlet shops.. Gap, FCUK, Marks & Spencers, Nike, Adidas.. We could see astronomical price cuts to the goods on sale.. A jacket which sells for 100 quid elsewhere was being sold for 35 quid! Not that I bought it, though.. 35 quid is Norhidayahnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110544.post-1129756703837687712005-10-19T22:18:00.000+01:002005-10-19T22:18:23.930+01:00Today's my first Intro to Digital Electronics Labs.. The way I'm assessed in this module is that 70% comes from my semester exam and another 30% comes from my labs.. There are 3 labs in total and each carries 10%.. The thing is, back in Malaysia, we're not used to extensive electronics.. Even the oscilloscope that we saw in our A-Level Physics classes were handled by our teachers..

I guess it'll be like boarding school all over again :(
My friend gave me one gem of an advice a couple of days ago..
DON'T GIVE UP!

Not only am I told to pay GBP 350 as deposit (which undergraduates don't have to), they also gave me an enhanced room with washbasin instead of an ensuite room - I'll have to share toilets with 6 other people!

I've been trawling all over TSR (when it works), NewStudent and SUSU Forums every few minutes.. BTW, I made my first international call to Southampton today.. I called their accommodation office to ask whether they have my details or not.. When they said yes, I stupidly ended the call, without even asking which hall I've been allocated to.. *smacksNorhidayahnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110544.post-1126695708203643802005-09-12T12:01:00.000+01:002005-09-14T12:06:14.546+01:00Today, I celebrated T's birthday at the new Nando's SACC.. Boy, did we have it good.. You see, it wasn't until E reminded me about her birthday that I started planning for a surprise birthday party.. Thanks, E! LOL.. Anyway, she didn't know that I asked H, F and Z to join us.. I also asked E, M and P to come along but they couldn't come.. Oh well..

So today I went to KLCC in hopes of getting my financial guarantee letter from my sponsor and apply for my visa on the same day, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.. I got my letter right before the visa application centre closed.. So I have no choice but to commute to KL again tomorrow.. Sigh..

So basically I've covered almost everything in my immediate shopping list.. There's just one or two more things to buy, but looking at the amount of my mom's money I've spent today, I think afterwards I'll just use my own money instead :PI LOVE YOU, MAMA! :)While waiting for my new rimless Norhidayahnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110544.post-1125495607812378632005-08-31T14:40:00.000+01:002005-08-31T14:40:07.870+01:00Sigh.. I knew this blog would get me into trouble for as long as I kept it.. To those I've offended, I'm sorry.. But if I didn't write what I was feeling - in my own blog, for that matter - then I'd only be lying to myself..

I was expecting a huge crowd just like the one during PC Fair but I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong.. Not only could I breath properly, I didn't get bumped by anybody at all.. *gasp!* :O
OK, so maybe that's an exaggeration..

It's funny they're still not over the whole controversial conservatives vs. liberals case.. Sigh.. IMHO, I'm sooooo glad I'm not in college right now.. BTW, the current juniors are also ranting about why people are slamming them from all sides, especially when it concerned their CP..

I know lots of people are going to call me a wuss, but I actually cry myself to sleep sometimes thinking how the heck am I going to survive in a foreign land all by myself..

Is it normal to have a recurring headache all through the day? This past weekend, I've been having this mild pulsing in my head.. Don't know if it's something to worry about, though.. I just pop a pill and the pain (usually) goes away..

Basically the food was so-so.. I guess during gatherings like these, it's the people that make or break the event, and the food becomes secondary.. I met with a few of my ex-classmates and a slew of people whose faces I recognized but unfortunately not their names :P This included M, who always sat at the back of the Norhidayahnoreply@blogger.com0
