Where I shop

Around the city, this is where we got our Halal meat all the time. But there are also other places like Asda, where its like Giant, or Hua Ho, having cheaper products of their own brands..

This is the main library in the campus, The Hartley library. Its HUGE.... hehe.. I feel so Harry Potter....hehe
Another photo from my trip to Beaulieu..my favourite car of all the exhibits






As an induction programme for the International Student, the School of Geography organised a school trip to Bealieu, in the New Forest. The area was really nice.. with lots to see.. Ada castle, a traditional english village across the lake, a collection of cars and also a James Bond Experience museum. A must see for those automobile lovers. Well, here are some of the pics..enjoy V(^.^)V

I find the duckies to be really cute.. hehe.. besusun ani bah. Around my school, there were a pond.. really nice.. and there are plenty of spots for a picnic hehe.... Will do that someday when my fiance gets here.. He will be visiting me next year and will be going back to Brunei with me..

My school, School of Geography, University of Southampton, The "Shackleton" Building ehe.. nice huh..
This was taken masa the first day of induction, tym registration of International students.. Siuklah.. byk freebies.. My first time inda betudung.. Now, m back to my normal self..


My new Home:

We arrived at the Heathrow Airport, London, where officers from the Brunei Hall were in the waiting hall, welcoming us to our new home.. Waiting for the bus was like forever.... Lama banar, maybe because we arrived early in the morning. hehe.. Then, kami kana bawa ke Brunei Hall, where we attend a briefing on students life. For a moment, i still cant believe I was already here, away from everyone I loved (except for my cousin of course, she was with me all the time ehe). then, when others stay for the night at the hall, me, my cousin and two other students going to Southampton find the 15 hours flight tiring and decided to go straight to our rented home in Woodcote Road, Southampton Hampshire, staart unpacking and SLEEEEEEEPPP.. hehe.. The Brunei Hall people arranged our transportation, and after the 15 hours flight, 1 hour bus ride, we have to be in a van for another 1hr 30mins huhuhuhu.. The two guys that I mentioned were also friends with our two other housemates.. They are Iqbal and Izwan.. whom we feel closed to and comfortable with. Until now, they were like our little brothers .. Arriving at home, we started to unpack and had an early rest because induction started the next day.. huhu.. But I remember that sahur was weird that there was no more familiar faces around the dining table ...I cried in my heart..

22/09/2008 -- Goodbye Brunei.. The time has come for me to pursue my dreams and ambitions, a step forward towards a future.. The flight was scheduled after sungkai. But, I checked in earlier, putting all my luggages in the cargo earlier in the afternoon. I had always been a strong and independent person. It never came across my mind that I will be missing those I left behind so much.. I never expected to see myslef crying in the embrace of people. But then, when I realised it, I was hugging my little sister who was sobbing so hard. Although my intention was to calm her, to assure her that I will always contact her, my heart became so fragile that I started to shed tears.. Adik was crying really hard and the others started to follow. Words after words of encouragement and motivation were wispered into my ears, giving me faith that I will always have them by my side, supporting my every move and cheering me all the way.. I was crying really hard when i hugged tua, who has always been there and is more that an aunt, but more like a mother. She did not even look me in the eye, maybe because she would find it hard to let go. I must respect my parents though. After seeing my uncle and auntie crying so hard over their daughter (my cousin, who is also going with me) I expect they would be acting the same. But they weren't. They were very calm but I can feel their shaky hands when I kissed them. Then I learned that they have to keep a straight face, sending me away with a smile, hoping that I can be strong. Then, I find him, My fiance. My loving fiance, who has always been there, througout the whole process. In fact, I was not sure I wanted to do this, considereing that I've had a good job and a future. But, he pushed me to take that next step, believing in me.. Even when I almost give up (when filling in teh application form).. he was there. He was the first I called, telling him the good/bad news that I got into the university and when I got the scholarship.. I still remember his trembling hands holding mine tight, as if not to let go, but also to assure me that he will always be there.. (At the airport L to R: Waina, the agent who deal with our university application, Erni, my cousin who happen to be in the same uni and we are staying in the same house, Aza, who is also a cousin of mine, Aziz going to Kent, Mizah also going to Kent and Me)
