Life in Plymouth - Accomodation

She tried to save every single pence, decided to choose a cheaper accommodation. Supposedly tried to get a place less than 80pounds per week, she failed to apply it. She finally got a standard room in Robbins Hall for roughly 87pounds per week.

There is 4 choices of university attached accommodations - Gilwell, Pilgrim, Robbins and Radnor. She loves Gilwell, but failed to get it. It was still fine for her, as long as she got a room to stay in.

Her room is T604, the sixth floor of the hall. She got to climb 3 floors everyday, and thankful she had a guy helped her carry 30kg luggage up to her room. It was tiring to carry luggage up, no doubt.

A standard room attached with a single bed, a wardrobe, a study table, a heater, a table lamp, a basin, a lamb table and a rack. She has 4 flat mates, sharing bathroom, washroom and kitchen. There is a laundry service on the other block, which has to put in coin for washing.

Her flat mates, none of them are Asian, are from local, Germany, Denmark, and Sri Lanka (she migrated to UK 3 years ago). They are still friendly and nice, and hoping she has more topics to chat with them.

Robbins Hall located opposite University of Plymouth, in Gibbon Street PL4 8BZ. A 5-10min walking distance to the university and Drake Circus Shopping Mall.

How to train your dragon (Movie)

If you said it is a waste to watch animation or cartoon in cinema, I will reject your idea. Firstly, most of the animation strongly project good moral ethics or values for the reference of audiences especially children. During the childhood, children ought to differentiate the right and the wrong distinctively, neither grey area nor in between. Value always serves as a guideline for us to oblige, not a compulsory because decision is still lied in the hand of human. This movie secretly intruded my deepen heart. It talked about relationship, a bond between dragon and human. The main character, Hiccup chose to save the night fury (dragon) because he saw the fear from its eye. Even a human, we got attracted or closer with people who are similar to us because we feel we able to understand each other better compared to differences. The flow of movie discussed the process of rejection, acceptance, understand and devotion in a relationship. When we are just a stranger for each other, we are re

Handmade ART

Handmade is one of my interest since young. I love art which includes drawing, coloring, making cards and etc. I used to make cards for my friends during secondary school times. Now, I seldom did due to lack of time. It takes time to complete an art work. Thus, I only do when I am free. After reading other people blog, I felt like putting my handmade artwork in my blog..just want to reflect my memory.. Too bad, I did not take photos of my art piece last time. I only left 2 with me..So..have a look.. "Lion" - bookmark Underwater world

Am I supposed to conform?

Conform to the rules because you have no choice over it. You conform, because you believe in it. For example, bible, quran or Buddhist book. Religious people are practicing those rules and might apply it into real life situation. What if you are conform to it due to the other restriction? Today I went to one of the universities in Malaysia. Majority of students are Islamic students. I am not allowed to enter due to my dress code. I wore decently, with a pant which length almost to the ankle. I had been rejected to enter the library because their rule is your dress code must be more than ankle. I respect your dress code. But, It isn't a bit unreasonable to just stop me from entering. I did not know about the dress code before that. At least, give us a chance. We came from so far just want to get journals out from your library, why can't the person talked or told us nicely? What is the purpose you divide the seat far away from male to female. People are not following. What if you
