Burdened.

http://perroquet.canalblog.com/images/chaines.jpg

Wash this anguish away

Take away this burden I carry

The burden of anger

The burden of envy

The burden of jealousy

The burden of all the sins in me. 

Take away all my bad thoughts

All those curses I may have uttered

Those hurtful words I may have spoke

Take me away and cleanse me

Wash me and make me pure.

Teach me so I may be more like You

With a pure heart, mind, body and soul

Correct me so I may not hurt those around me

Guide me so I may make myself useful and edify others.

Time and again I try

But each time I stumble and fall

but You, Lord, of all people know me best

You know I'm trying

and so You wait patiently for me

to pick myself up and dust myself off

and try all over again.

Lord this is my prayer today

Take away my anguish, my pain and my guilt

Take my burdens away.

Amen.

not many days like this, i hope!

at this rate, i will have power calves and thunder thighs by the end of the semester >.<

not to mention broken ankles and wobbly knees -.-

today we walked from home to Pope building

(at the other end of campus)

then back home after an hour of lecture

then to Beeston

where we went to the bank,

then Wilkinson's, Argos, Sainsbury, Iceland, FreshAsia

and then back home again

carrying armloads of groceries >.<

then we were late for the next class

(thanks to the boys' 15-minutes-in-the-oven fish n chip lunch)

so we had to run/ powerwalk to QMC

which was on the freakin other end of campus

thats like 25 minutes of powerwalking okay!

then from QMC we wanted to pay a last visit to Fresher's Fayre

so we headed over to the Sports Centre

on what Abel insists is a "shortcut"

but really, it feels just as long as any other way >.<

then from the Sports Centre

we tried to find one of those little paths on the map

which is supposed to be another of Abel's "shortcuts"

but ended up getting rather lost

Abel leading us walking around in circles -.-

so I grabbed the map and tried to navigate us out

after finally identifying our bearings

we decided to make our own path back

(cutting across the grass fields and the accommodation halls, lol)

so yeah

finally when we reached our glorious flat

i felt like i dont want to use my legs anymore for the rest of this week >.<

aaargh. another day of walking tmr. BLAH.

£90.30...

... that's how much damage I made today >.<

on the bright side,

i got plenty of clothes,

a coat, a nottingham U hoodie,

a free shirt and a pair of jeans :)

oh, and 2 packets of korean noodles :) yumm...

thanks XinWei for bringing us around

and walking with me through endless shops

and waiting while I take forever to decide what to buy :)

ooh my feet hurt :(

and I didnt get to talk to Ju nor daddy today :(

i miss you guys! :(

The pain of aching legs >.<

first things first,
I'd like to say its absolutely nasty
to sleep in this sort of weather without any cover >.<

woke early today and headed to uni after talking to Ju
campus is huge! and we got lost so many times >.<
had a good lunch :) didnt have dinner last night :p


after that, we headed to town to do some grocery shopping
total damage is £60++,
not including some of the shared items that the boys paid for O.o
ouch!


but, I got my SIM, a duvet, 2 pillows,
lots of crockery, and groceries to last me a week at least :)


bringing all those stuff back home 
and lugging it to the top floor is super tiring exhausting!
my arms and legs had an amazing workout today
my feet ache like crap...
wish there was foot reflexology here :(


oh well, long day...
gonna turn in now :)

Coz I'm leaving, on a jet plane~

okay, it absolutely takes FOREVER to upload a picture,

dunno why but internet's really bad here

(maybe coz i'm using a guest account) 

but hopefully it gets better soon :(

so for now, my posts will be pictureless.

so i said goodbye to everyone already

and left beloved Malaysia and its wonderful sunshine

away from my family, friends and the boyfriend

sigh :(

it was a terrible journey on Emirates

eating non-stop from KL-Dubai-Birmingham, ugh.

spent 80% of my time playing tetris on the in-flight console -.-

for the first half, from KL to Dubai,

i could sit with the boys and so it wasnt so bad.

We were on transit in Dubai, 

so we had like 4 hours to kill

where there was glorious internet

and i could tell Ju and Dad where i was

It is, by the way, IMPOSSIBLE to find 

a vacant trolley in the Dubai Int'l Airport.

on the second half of our flight, 

the 3 of us were separated

Abel was sitting between someone from China and another from HK

JiHang was squeezed in between 2 large sized past-middle-age men

and I was placed between an Arab guy with bad B.O. 

and a girl about my age,

which I later found out were students at Birmingham Uni 

and Nottingham Uni respectively.

Guess I should count myself lucky.

when we arrived, thats when the nightmare started

lugging all our numerous pieces of baggage,

we made our way to the train station from the airport.

there, we wanted to apply for the railcard,

so we plopped ourselves on the floor of the train station

and started rummaging through our stuff 

to find the documents they need for the application.

we finally got our train tickets,

and wandered off to find out platform

which was one floor down

thank God this station had a lift!

we had to take our first train from

Birmingham International to Birmingham New Street

then we had to lift all our luggage up the train

everyone in the train staring at us >.<

the aisle was so narrow -.- 

thank goodness we were at the end of the carriage 

so we werent really blocking anyone

we arrived at Birmingham New Street at 3:50pm

where the station was freakin crowded

take the escalator (with all our luggage, lol) up to concourse...

then we looked at the screen...

...our train to Notts was at 3:45pm!

then we looked again... 

... it was delayed, phew!

but only to 3:54! ohno ohno ohno!

okay, quickly search for platform 7a...

found it, but no lift!
quickly quickly carry the stuff helter skelter down the stairs

poor JiHang running up and down 

while I watch the baggage on the top and Abel at the bottom.

finally, everything downstairs...

wait... wait... wait....

train delayed to 4:00pm... then delayed to 4:04pm...

then at like 4:01pm they announced

"train to Nottingham will now be stationed at platform 8a"

WHAT?! wtf how can they do thattttttt?!

desperately search for a lift.... found it!

had to wait for the first load to go first...

then us, down to subway level... and up again at platform 8a

phew! managed to get there just in time,

train arrived barely a minute after >.<

CHI KEK BETUL.

on our way to Notts, woohoo!

all our luggage on the train 

taking up the empty designated wheelchair space, lol.

arrived at Nottingham station...

the boys grabbed a bite to eat while I got a drink

then off to the exit to find a taxi!

just before the barrier...

eh, where's my ticket?

WHERE'S MY TICKET?!

omg i lost my ticket -.-

so i just went to the guy at the barrier 

and put on my most pitiful face

and said there was so much luggage 

i must have dropped my ticket on the train while handling everything

and... he let me through! haha :) nice guy

so we managed to get a taxi 

and get our aching butts to Broadgate Park :)

then we checked in, 

and we found out we live on the freakin top floor O.o

luckily we met a couple of friends

who gave us a hand in lifting everything upstairs... yay!

after an amazingly long day,

I'm finally *FINALLY* in my room.

phew!

missing everyone back in Malaysia :( sigh.

*pictures up when my connection gets better!

Pale and sickly in the pictures, like I'm dying of a terminal illness >.<

I look pale and sickly in the pictures, like I'm dying of a terminal illness >.< ????

Our last dinner... for now :)

For our last dinner together,

we decided to head off to a nice place in Taman Tun

called Porto Romano :)

We started off with...

 

...Sauteed Calamari Rings as an appetizer :)

Ju was already eyeing it the moment it arrived, haha!

then he innocently invaded it :D

next up was the Mediterranean Pizza...

... sundried tomatoes, turkey ham, onions, mushrooms, oodles of cheese on a thin crust... mmmm.

Moving on to the Risotto al Funghi, which is my all time favourite :)

... doesnt look like much, but tastes fantastic :)))

Buttery and cheesy with truckloads of mushrooms... yum!

A happy Ju with our food :)

*he actually cannot wait to dig in*

Lastly, we ended our meal on a sweet note with tiramisu...

yes, there's a big empty portion because *someone* couldnt wait for me to snap a pic first -.-

tu, caught red-handed! haha :D

that concludes a wonderful dinner :) thanks sweetheart!

*there are no pictures of me because I didnt sleep well the past few nights and so I look pale and sickly in the pictures, like I'm dying of a terminal illness >.<*

My farewell gathering...
