It's been a good 3 weeks since my last post...didn't know what made me stop blogging for a while, but I know that there's still so much for me to blog about, notably:
The 5 day trip to Scotland. (still pending after nearly a month)
The university-organized trip to North Wales.
The trip to Blackpool.
Eating out at La Tasca (Spanish restaurant).
Our feast last Sunday with MengJie.
Mathew Street Festival.
There's still some more...but I can't remember for now...tomorrow's the final exam, and after that we got 5 days to complete the assignment and get the hell back home to Malaysia. Speaking of which......
I AM SO FUCKING HOMESICK RIGHT NOW.
Here I am, studying in Liverpool and having Merdeka overseas for the first time in my life, and I can't help but wonder how come there's not a single soul from my course who mentions the word "Merdeka", "Negaraku" or "Independence".
Come on lah, you call yourselves Malaysians?
It didn't struck me until 5 in the evening yesterday that it was Independence Day back home. Some wackos from the opposite flat started shouting MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA! while people started passing around this Negaraku MIDI file on MSN.
Talk about patriotism.
And you definitely can't miss the blogosphere where everyone suddenly starts to"berbelog" in Bahasa.
The funniest (and also most idiotic) thing I remember about Merdeka every year are the news report where they randomly interview people on the streets about their views on Merdeka. And everytime there's gotta be at least 2 morons who will utter the words "Memang bagus lah, kami rakyat Malaysia, ada tiga kaum...Melayu, Cina and India...Kita harus bersatu-padu..."
Puh-leeeze...I wanna puke everytime I heard people say that. It's so fucking cliched.
But there's also those heartwarming and sentimental Petronas and Tenaga Nasional commercials that just puts a smile on your face or just makes you wanna weep. Especially those by Kak Yasmin.
I miss nasi lemak.

Luckily...
Am doing the progress report and project documentation, just slacking for a while to blog.
called Dad in the evening yesterday, told him how I went overbudget and spent about 220GBP while in Scotland...been wanting to call back home since Tuesday, but the timing was bad.
I thought that I would get a scolding from him, but didn't. Dad just said he'll bank in some 150GBP next Monday.
Luckily...or else I dunno whether I can afford to go to London or not......
MUST. STOP. WASTING. MONEY.

I'm back
After playing non-stop for 5 days in Scotland, I'm finally back in Liverpool.
Been recharging and slacking since yesterday, now I gotta rush the assignment out.
Wanted to blog out about the trip to Scotland, but the assignment is top priority right now. I haven't collect all the pics anyway. There's about 9GB of pics and videos from all of us, will try to upload some and blog it out when I have the time.
Now is just not the time. Deadline is on Tuesday. Coding in .NET is still zero, and the documentation is just one big headache.
And strangely, Linkin Park's One Step Closer keeps playing in my head. Maybe it's the lyrics.

I'm goin to Scotland baby!
I've been waiting for this all this while, I'm finally going to Scotland!
There's 2 gang of people in the class who's planning the trip, so we sort of just jump on the bandwagon...hehe, what the hell, figured if we don't follow them, then we really don't have to go anywhere already...it's now or never.
Booked the car on Monday actually, just took it back to our hostel (not me of course, I'm a rookie driver). We booked a Class 3 Nissan Almeira, but got a Class 5 Megane Scenic instead, hehe....it's a manual gear car, but the car key is a keycard, the CD player volume control is on the headlight control, and the brake is only a pull out deck.
WEIRD. Took us about an hour to get the hang of it.
We're leaving at midnight, which is about 6 hours from now. So for the meantime gotta stock up on supplies (mostly snacks, breads and biscuits), coz we're traveling for 5 days, mostly sleeping in the car on camp sites.
I gotta go sleep now. Been rushing the assignment from yesterday til today. Gotta get some 3 hours sleep before departure.
I guess I won't be blogging these few days, so adios.
And wish me luck!
