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.

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Look Out Point, Ampang

To see Kuala Lumpur nightview, familiar people will tell you to go Look Out Point, Ampang. Cold breeze on your face, indeed refreshing your mind of a day, in provided that the surrounding is quiet. Look out the view from the tower, numerous of yellow lights like stars shining on you. The most attractive point will be KLCC. A romantic place to be, for couples. Please bring a camera, if not the view can't really be seen (like my photo above). It is best to calm yourself down, by looking at the night view. The surrounding is dim, and you could just be yourselves, without bothering anyone around you. The first time, I came with a down feeling, thus I felt better to do the same. There is few restaurants there. We tried Bread and Olives, as recommanded by my friends. The drink was so-so. The hot chocolate like milo, and the nescafe also like milo. Hot drink is not hot enough. Haha. But, most important thing is to get yourself a good seating to enjoy the night view. We ordered this. Thin ...
