Thank you volcano

So I guess I have been too stressed recently. I realised that my talent in sleeping is gone! The magical touch on the bed that makes me feel sleepy instantaneously is gone! I've been so not in a mood recently, especially after uni started.

Thanks to the volcano that has been causing so much problem for making the school and lecturers extending the deadlines of courseworks and postponing the seminar.

Since I am having a day off tomorrow (not skipping lecture ok??) I cooked 'mee sua' just now. Yummy! It reminded me of home. Last week, I suddenly had a crave for sarawak laksa. So dear and I decided to cook laksa and invited a number of non-sarawakian friends to eat laksa. I can't wait till exam finishes and I will be going back to Malaysia! Er... please volcano. Stop erupting and let me go home please?

So, what did I do during my easter holiday? First week, I was slacking. Second week, I was in Iceland. Third week, I was PARTY-ING!! My new friend Michelle from KL came to Manchester to visit her friend and stayed in Dalton Ellis. She's a great chef and cooked so much food for us. 皮蛋瘦肉粥, 黄酒鸡汤, 猪脚姜醋... Then we had fun and talked and played till 3 or 4 am everyday! Ya that was during the holiday and I wished holiday has not ended :( She's a really friendly and playful friend and I really enjoyed the moments with her in Manchester. Wait for me in KL ya Michelle!

Also, over the easter holiday after eating so much, I became fat.....

Uni starts again

Airspace closed!! But I am in Manchester! Luckily I went to Iceland between the two eruptions. Or else I would be stranded in Iceland and burn a big big hole in my pocket! I got to see the Eyjafjallajökull volcano before it erupted. It was still nicely covered with snow when I saw it. While in Iceland, I got to see another volcano that just erupted on 21st March. Thank God for blessing me to back in Manchester safely and, more importantly, before all the chaos that is happening right now. 

So this is my first time blogging using my new MacBook. I am really satisfied with my MacBook. What happened to my old laptop? My poor Dell Vostro died. The nvidia graphics card killed it. I saw from the forum that a few other laptop models of other brands had the same problem too. So, I guess it's not Dell's fault. But sorry, I don't want my second laptop to be a microsoft one anymore!!! 

I was hesitating whether to buy a mac or not at first. I thought I could survive with my blackberry. At least the email part is solved, blackberry is good with the email services, but who knows, the uni just loaded us with presentation, courseworks and poster before the holiday. So I had to get one. (I admit that I couldn't resist the lure of the little white MacBook when I saw it. I knew it wanted me to bring it home!!)

Anyway, uni is starting today! It's nearly 2 am now. Whenever I think about MLP, I just feel extremely annoyed. I am not exaggerating but I really do feel EXTREMELY annoyed. Tell me, how can you learn to be a leader by making poster? Don't tell me that we can get the 'inspirations' from the leaders that we are going to discuss about. Nonsense! What is the difference between reading their biographies and discussing about them? I don't think that would have a significant impact on anyone. I am so not convinced. I don't know for how many times I have complained about this MLP. I've told you, I am EXTREMELY annoyed!

Ah, going to bed now. Too annoyed.
