Back on court

Yesterday I went to Nottingham University for the annual Nottingham Malaysian Games where I participated in netball. It's been a while since I played netball and I'm glad to be able to play again in a tournament again. Brings me back memories of NCG back in Oz. Well, we didn't make it to the semi as from the 5 groups consisting of 5-6 teams each; only the top 4 teams will make it to semi without going through quarter finals. Don't ask me why they don't have quarter finals, ask the organizers. Though we did win all of our group matches except one. If we would have won that match I guess we would have made it to the semi. Oh well, luck wasn't on our side. We will try harder for other games next year. But, we did have fun. That's the most important thing.

Rainy day in Oxford

Last weekend, I joined the International Office trip to Oxford with my classmate and housemate. We departed from uni at about 8.45am and reached Oxford about an hour and  half later. The weather was kind of gloomy that day and later on it rained most of the day which partly affected our trip as well. We first head to Oxford Covered Market to kill time before our walking tour starts at 11.30am. The market house butchers, greengrocers, bakeries and gift shops. Inside Oxford Covered Market Since it was Saturday, the market was quite busy. Then we started our tour at Balliol College which was believed to be the oldest College in Oxford, established in 1263. Then we head to Sheldonian Theatre, the building is now used for graduation ceremony as well as other purposes. That day, the building was closed as graduation ceremony was held.
