Comfort Zone

Hi all, I'm back in my comfort zone of my parent's home. Yeay!! After 1 year and 5 months abroad I am finally home where I belong. It feels so good to be back but a bit tired from the journey and jet lag. Even this morning I woke up at 4 in the morning and failed to go back to bed. Then I had breakfast with my dad before he heads to work and now I'm trying to keep awake as it is already 1 in the morning in the UK. Can't wait to meet and catch up with my friends. Till then~

Money money money

Hi all, A piece that I wrote for Warwick student blog was published today. After few revisions, it was finally out and you can find the article here . For those who are looking for funding to pursue their education (be it tertiary or a professional certificate)  can be difficult. Therefore I hope my post will be able to help those who are struggling with funding. Besides that, some of you may not have a clue on how to write a candidacy statement. Here is how I wrote mine when I applied for a scholarship to fund my Master's programme: Introduction - your background including your education history and if you have work experience; a brief description of your work experience(s). Why do you want to study the course - give reasons why do you want to pursue the course? You can list out the modules that attracted you to apply for the course. Future plans - what you hope to obtain from studying the course, which modules are relevant for your future career plans (list out mo...

Wet Christmas in Wales Part 2

Image
Hi all, This post is a continuation from my post yesterday on my recent trip to Wales. Day 3 We started the day quite early as we wanted to cover a lot of places today and the weather looks promising. We departed from our accommodation around 8 in the morning and the first stop was Newport Sands Beach, a beautiful beach with breathtaking view and surroundings. The place was filled with families taking their children and dogs out for a walk. Its very family friendly. After that we went to Strumble Head Lighthouse which I think is still a functional lighthouse at present. The panorama around this area was seriously beautiful especially the cliffs and the sea. The only downside was the weather. Well, what do you expect on a winder day in the UK. This is the best that we can get and at least it didn't rain. Thank God. The next destination was an ex quarry area turned into the bluest ever lagoon I've ever see and hence the name of the place, Blue Lagoon. Th...

Wet Christmas in Wales Part 1

Hi all, I just came back from a weekend road trip to Wales. It was a 4 days 3 nights with the Snowdon gang plus another family. As my sister said, geng makcik-makcik. Since I'm currently residing in Bristol, I have to go to Coventry on Xmas Eve to meet up with the others as our journey starts from there.  Day 1 We were supposed to start our journey at 5 am as daylight was very limited during winter season and we wanted to get as much out of it as possible. However, my friend's car decided that it was too cold and want to stay in bed (read: car won't start). Luckily she has good neighbors that helped her out and managed to jump start the car with another car. At about 6.45 am we started our journey to the first pit stop of Brecon Beacon National Park. We had high hope for the day to do some walking around the national park. Sadly the weather decided to betrayed us as it rained heavily the whole day. So when we went to Breacon Beacon Information Centre to meet up...
