Almost there

I can't believe I am taking this long to finish packing my luggages.
This morning I weighed the bag and it was 8 kg overweight.
The sight of that number makes me depress because it means I have to ponder what I should  remove from the luggage and exhaustingly remove almost everything from the luggage to find the least important item, and then rearrange everything again!

But I think I'm almost done with the packing.
I'm also almost done with emptying my bedroom.

I hope to get it all done by tmr!

Not happy

I hate
the anticipation,
the uncertainty,
the waiting.....

It's exhausting making the preparations.
It's stressful to hope for the outcome that has a 50-50 chance of happening...

Made me ponder why I ever chose this path of life..

I crave for that silver lining and light at the end of the tunnel...

Glasgow: Imagine

While having plenty of time to kill while I await the final round of darts to begin, AND with nothing else to do in uni, an idea popped in my head: Google about Glasgow, Scotland

First thing: Glasgow's weather
Looking at BBC's weather forecast for this week reminded me to pack an umbrella into my suitcase.

Truthfully, umbrella was never in my check list of items to pack. The umbrellas in the car here is like, "Get one because every car has one." Thanks, BBC ;)

Maybe, if I left my umbrella at the hostel and it was pouring outside, I'd borrow a cone on the street, just like what the Duke of Wellinton (below) did:

Secondly: Glasgow in pictures
The first location I know I will be at is the Glasgow International Airport:

At the airport, I hope they provide free maps of the city of Glasgow:

With the map, exploring Glasgow would be much easier (and with a gps, even easier):

One place I know I will be depending on due to lack of cash to fly is the Glasgow Central station:

Feeling tired, the Glasgow Underground trains looks comfy enough for a snooze:

But, of course, before I head out to other parts of UK, I intend to explore Glasgow thoroughly.

Being a science student, visiting the Science Centre whenever I am in different countries is a must. I heard this place is MUCH better than the one in Malaysia:

Glasgow-ians are also probably majority church goers. Therefore, visiting a couple of churches and admiring its architecture should be interesting. Eg: Glasgow Cathedral

There's also the Uni of Glasgow to visit to compare with Uni of Strathclyde ;)

I guess if we ever get lost in Glasgow, The Museum of Transport Glasgow would be an ideal place to visit:

Shopping at the malls in Glasgow, especially when there are cheap sales, is definitely part of the 'masterplan'.

If we ever go cuckoo due to exams, there is the Glasgow Rehabilitation Centre, which doesn't look to shabby at all:

Lastly, getting around foreign countries is never complete without reading travel blog reviews. http://rocknrollapsara.livejournal.com/tag/the%20uk

Darts finals

Finally, the darts Finals has arrived... Tonight 6.30pm... The finals was suppose to be on Friday but some ppl from the other team could not make it. Therefore, it was set to Monday, but AGAIN, some ppl couldn't make it either... So, Tuesday it is...

I don't like:

• The fact that it is at 6.30pm. I dislike going to uni in the evenings. Traffic, darkness, I have better things to do in Ampang at night than at Bukit Jalil...
• The IMU cup timetable has been scheduled last Friday for Finals, meaning everyone should know about it.. If they can't make it, the points should go to the other team present right?? ;p

On the bright side:

Win or lose the finals, it'll be either sliver or gold, which is good enough =)

Cleaning

At home, all my priced possessions remains in one room.
That one room is very small.
But whilst cleaning, I realised I've been keeping my possessions for a very, very, very, verrrry long time.
All the buying, using it once, chucking it away somewhere and never to be remembered or seen again till NOW!
While cleaning, I found many nostalgic items.
But the aim was to empty the room *mum has other plans for the room now that I'm gone*...
So, the mindset was: "Throw since I have not been touching it for a million years and I can't bring it to UK"

Two garbage bag full of stuff that has been in my room for close to ten years. FYI, that two garbage bags do not contain any clothes...
There are three basket full of clothes and one hidden cupboard still full of clothes.... which, since I can't bring with me, might as well be given away.. * I would e-bay the clothes.. but i'm too tired and sort of running out of time to do it* Easiest to just dump it.

Unfortunately, three days of cleaning my room, and I am STILL not done!
I'm almost there, but not yet.......

Plus, the wound on my left arm has to like heal fasterrrrrr.... I've torn the plaster numerous times because I use my left hand a million times a day coz I just can't help it...

Wounded

I'm a left hander. So, it does not help that I have a bandage on my armpit, covering a huge, deep hole.
It's close to two weeks and the hole is closing, but very slowly.
I'm allergic to plasters. It made my skin red, it itched and it tore my skin... Scars from plasters to protect a wound...

Whatmore, I use my left hand to play darts.
Going home every night from darts practice and competition displaces the plaster and the bandage falls off. Uncomfy and icky looking indeed.

The wound prevents me from enjoying the food I am suppose to savour - SEAFOOD...
Refrained from crabs and other shellfish all in the name of healing the wound.

UK visa application submitted. Everyone prays for nothing to go wrong....

My wound needs to heal asap for me to move on. I am not allowed to sweat or swim.......

On a happier note, I am surprised Taurus is in the Finals for darts! Expect the unexpected indeed!!

Darts competiton for IMU Cup

equals pain...

Practiced seriously for the first time yesterday morning and evening, because the darts competition was, well, yesterday evening =D

I'm playing mixed doubles therefore I can depend on my more capable partner in crime (and who shoots more accurately) to win the game, while I sort of just help him reduce the points.

Alas, we won Round 1 against Hydra. A huge difference from last year's match where Taurus (my team) lost in the first round.

How agonising it is to know that Round 2 is on the next day (TODAY!). My arm was aching and throbbing so badly yesterday after the match. Definitely due to a combination of bad playing technique and long unused muscles at that arm XD.

Today I had three hours of darts practice. The aim is to improve, be more steady, less nervous and less intimidated by the opponent.
Somehow, internally, the stomach churns and sweat starts forming when the competition is ongoing.

Round 2 better be good too! My poor aching shoulder.....

Too many things on one plate

Current state of mind: THE JUGGLER
Sorting out my life, rekindling broken connections...
and plenty other tasks..
Everything is important; everything demands attention a.s.a.p...
Hoping for that care-free weeks of holiday where I can relax, has yet to materialised....

A little rant, but work is better than no work anyways :)

Turnning back time

I've finally decided to quit Facebook. I did not deactivate it because I still need it for work purposes. But, two days of not having the urge to log on everytime, feels really good. It is like, "I was a drug addict, and I'm now undergoing rehab to be clean". I'm turning back the time to when internet was not something I needed to cure my boredom.
*Take facebook time to read a book or swim or jog or think of eating healthy*

Last week was a whirlwind of outings. Wished it ended after Penang, but I'm still booked till end of next week.
I havent even got the time to head to IMU to practice darts and the competition is next Wednesday!!

Sadly, I can never say no to outings as good food is soooo hard to resist.

Nevertheless, it is always good to find time to review ones purpose in life.
I am turning over a new leaf, step by step.

Two movies I'm looking forward to watch

Vampires Suck
-I'm definitely watching this coz I hate Twilight.


Burlesque
