One of the downside of being so far away from home is being away from your family. I really love my family and even though the longest I have ever been out of touch with them is 2 days its really difference being able to be with them in person. Even back in College I get to go home everyday and the longest I ever stayed away from home was 2 weeks and at the end of two weeks I am more ready to go home.

Now as my elder sister celebrate's her birthday I can help but thank God for having a sister like her. Indeed she will remember my mischievous acts now and also when I was a little kid but I am really grateful for her.

I won't be able to celebrate her this year's birthday with her so I shall write a little in honor of her birthday!

My sister is D best! We do fight but she's still the best! Always being so cheerful and smiley sometimes making hard to get angry with her for long

Well she's always the one to do silly stunts and drags me along with her. More of the adventurous being

Yeah I am taller than her but her touch and care is always around me.

The oldest among the 3 Sisters. Really has lots of responsibilities on her but well we gals do great together!

I love my sister because even when I am in the lowest pit and I am usually the one doing silly stuff due to my rashness she makes me feel on top of the world.

More like best friends! The one I call when I am down and sad. Also the first to hear of my complaints and etc.

My favourite and best activity partner

We are in the same church and I know most of her friends. She always invites me to join with her group of friends never pushing me aside even though I don't know her friends and I can really do silly things that can embarrassed her

Ever so proud of my sister! Always allowing us to take the spotlight instead.

Love you so much che. Happy Birthday to You! Though I am not with you celebrating but with you in Spirit. May you continue to mature and grow in the Lord. Thank you for being a major person in my life and thanks for being such a great person =)

"I believe the entire family feels the same way!"

Just came back from Whitby Town. So far I have been to Cambridge and Whitby. I don't know how my friends manage it by doing their assignments, studying, other activities and also have a large amount of time sightseeing UK and also shopping non-stop. At the rate I am going I am hardly able to even study.

Sometimes I wish that the tour agents are not allowed to promote their tours because first and foremost they flood our mails. They also put the tours every weekend and even during our class time and encouraging people to skip class. Makes it all the more tempting and harder to say no.

Its beginning to be a holiday for most instead of studying I wonder how we are going to perform in our heavy loads of assignments when most parts of my brains are filled with places and attractions. I haven't even been shopping.....

I don't want to leave UK without seeing UK and I also don't want to go home with average results after paying so much money to come over here for the degree. What a struggle..... Maybe a good option is to have a lighter module assessment and also more tours after our semester instead of during the semester. But then again most of my friends would probably say its me only that is feeling it.

Well, I have been out every weekend since coming over. Below is a quick summary of my mind relaxation activities.

Didn't really like the environment in the Beach Party so decided to see Sheffield first time in the night. Pleasantly rewarded =)

Love the view. This is taken at Sheffield's Peace Garden. Behind is the City Hall.

Our supposed beach wear. Didn't bring clothes for it so make do....

One of the colleges in Cambridge

Picnic at Jesus Pieces Garden =) I wonder why it was name that though...

A library in Cambridge. The town is filled with museums, libraries, colleges, churches, gardens. Really a University town

Artificial Intelligence vs Real Intelligence =p

The famous punts in Cambridge

Couldn't enter to the College because they were having graduation so well this will have to make up for Issac Newton's discovery tree (Gravity)

So big and fat

Look at the lamb. So cute =)

After church found a little park behind the church and it has a superb view of Sheffield town. Can you see the huge mosque?

Most of the pathways are like this. Lots of greenery.

A scene without me =)

Yoghurt + Frosties + Chocolate Chip Cookies + Mars Chocolate. Rich and yummy. (Fattening too)

One of the dinners I cooked up. Cheese Pasta and Chinese Style Pasta

The scenic view along the way. Just field after fields

The fields filled with red flowers. Can't see them closer because this was taken when we were in the bus.

This is just slightly before we reached Whitby. Very steep road heading to Whitby but the view is just captivating! (Mum there are lots of hills and jungles and streams. You will love the view)

And Whitby here we come =)

Because we were caught in a traffic jam (Our first encounter in UK) we reached Whitby at 12noon so everyone was starving and rushed to the famous fish and chip shops. Outside Magpie and Mister Chips the two fish and chips stores that was recommended were packed with Summer School Students. It was really like an Asian Exodus to Whitby with so many buses and human beings. (Should have taken a picture of the number of people waiting to board the bus)

Anyway above is the picture of the TARC students outside Mister Chips

Sorry Britain but the fish and chips really isn't that good. We didn't really fancy it.

Now this is a beauty. Whitby Abbey. 4.9 pounds to visit and we did enter!!

Different angle of the Abbey

Outside the Abbey. Looks like the Shepherd door post.

I met De Nise!!!! I have been trying to meet up with her since I touched UK! Haven't seen her for more than half a year and fancy seeing her near Mister Chips :)

Mister Chips Fish and Chips costs 5.4pounds which is RM27 thought that it would be worth it because its supposed to be the best fish and chips in England. Malaysians, I suggest a trip to TGIF would be more worth it

Mun Ngar and Kah Seng. Photo partners in the Abbey and for Whitby Trip

In St.Mary's Church Whitby

I just love this passage and I found it in the church. Lord teach me to pray this prayer!

The Lighthouse and breakwater

Whitby from St Mary's 199 Steps

The river Esk and the Captain Cook's Ship passing along

Read the above! Arguments Yard =) But this couple were so happy!

Didn't want to get my shoes dirty but wanted to be part of the sand so ... thus the above

Try guessing which one is me =)

The harbour

For the past one week I had to cut down on picture sessions because the 10batteries my dad bought for me have depleted. Decided to invest in the Rechargeable Batteries before the trip to Whitby. Lasted very long. It has not even gone down by one bar after 200 over pictures =)

Ok that's all for now. Time to leave the rest for next time.
