Guidelines for Summer Student to UK

Are you one of the yearly students that join the summer programme back at UK? Are you one of the students who were anxious? happy? excited? and can't wait to fly and reach there. 3 months course id truly short for you to enjoy everything over there so plan properly first thing first when you reach your hostel or even when you're flight in the plan.

You will have plenty of time in the plane for at least 17 hours. Do look back what your seniors track to have better plan. Here I am to provide you little guidelines on what to bring in case of overweight issue.

First thing first, you have to ready your pounds. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT change it at UK because it doesn't worth a single penny you had change. You get less pounds back with ringgit you gave them. So this is a NO!

Approximately, you will need around 300-400 pounds a month for expenses and this only applies to those who cooks everyday for lunch and dinner. This examines you how good are you in financing yourself with limited budget. If you're not a good cook and hoping for meal outside everyday, be prepare for higher expenses up to 500-700 pound per month.

Get your driving license with you. You'll need it, and believe me. Of course it shouldn't be an expired one. Even Malaysia traffic won't let you drive with expired license. You can always rent a car a treasure around UK by driving. It would be fantastic but please follow the laws because you can't afford with their summons.


Have your luggage attached with luggage tag because you never know who had the same luggage as yours. A tag would secure your belongings and also mistook but somebody else. This is unnecessary if you had a very "outstanding" luggage where others will never even get it.

Having euros now or later is all depends on yourself. If you have euro now meaning you have more pounds. Besides there won't be twice currency exchange charges, from ringgit to pound and pound to euro. Direct ringgit to euro would save you some. You will need it when you're on a trip around Europe where most of them would not miss because it is a chance you will grab.

Getting a proper luggage is important. Why do I say so? You need a good one to not only fit in your cloths but also souvenirs and some local delicacies that taste awesome. Size vary for everyone but a bigger one definitely worth every penny than a smaller one. You can bring less cloths and more dried food like instant noodles, herbs or bak kut teh, curry powder, chili sauce and others that you might need for daily cooking.

You can find it all at China town but it is not cheap at all. You might have to pay double or triple amount that you have to pay here after convert. Besides, taste was different from what we usually have. Properly organise your luggage to ft in all your things.

You don't have to grab too much cloths over because you'll love cloths there where summer sales will just blew you off. You get additional discounts for certain brands too so do not bring much where you get dirt cheap prices there. Just ensure you have your jacket and long pants and cover shoes when you boarding.

The important of all your passport. Never left it aside from you. Keep it at a safe place when you reach there. You'll need it from time to time. Remember to photocopy all your documents and keep a copy for your family in case something happen and there's someone to prove your identity.

By now I think you had everything ready with you. Last but not least, before you fly remember your offer letter, your bank draft, your itinerary (for immigration purposes), and passport for sure. Safe journey and happy on board!

Angels & Demons

This is another great production after DaVinci Code. This is greater, excited and more knowledgeable movie. This movie is more to Christian history and all the ceremony and nevertheless famous place that Christian treat as honourable. I have nothing much to comment on this movie as I think from the beginning till the end the story was quite good. The flow is indeed smooth and connected. I did enjoy the time Tom Hanks search for clue to find the candidate popes where they were hide and the place they will get killed. There is so much excitement in it. My feeling was just like a roller coaster going ups and downs without knowing what would it be the next moment. I could only give two thumbs up for it. Don't believe what I said? Watch it yourself and you will know what I meant.

Photography

Recently, I am up to more nature photography. Those who know me well knows that I am always girl with my babe (camera) around.

SUNSET FROM WINDOW VIEW For this picture, I take in two ways. a wish for brighter sky but somehow when I get the color of sky I want the light out from the blue cloud could not be seen clearly. Only when I set it to darker mode then the light out of the cloud could be emphasize out. LIGHT, SIGN OF BETTER DAY

YOU TIAO & JOHN KING TART

YOU TIAO is what we called in Chinese and ' YAO ZA GUAI ' is what Cantonese named it and this food is said to be origin from Cantonese people. This is one of the high demand food in Pavilion. It is simple, non-oily and reasonable in price. Their freshly made Tau Foo Far taste great and it is so smooth and doesn't have much of the bean taste which make people hardly love to eat them..... You Tiao - It is so crispy to eat just like that or you wanted to eat with their plain porridge would also be great because the combination of both makes perfect!!! Porridge - Their porridge is not so hardened or over watery. I guess that's the perfect way to describe. It is just alright and you can hardly see the rice but instead it is little sticky which a porridge should have.... After having that, my friend continuing exploring other food in the section. We go for the tart that had been very popular and keep mentioning by those who had ever had them. The legendary tart, ...
