Busy August and Journey to Geordieland, Newcastle, UK

August till early Sep was a busy month for me in preparing the stuffs for my studies in the UK.. visa applications, packing, outings etc... I had a wonderful time with my love ones.. they know who they are =) Went to a few special places like Bagan Lalang and buffet at KL Tower. Awesome!

22-Aug Jon and Regina's wedding. The exNorthumbria people gather again :)

Depart from LCCT with my piggy by Air Asia X to Stansted, London on 8th Sep. The flight was damn boring! Luckily I get to chat with a student studying in London who are sitting next to me. Arrived 13 hours later.

.

Have a quick nap at Holiday Inn Express. After 9 hours, took the 1 hour flight with Easyjet to Newcastle. Arrived Newcastle around 8am on 9th Sep.
Waited for the Meet and Greet students. Met a few Hongkies and we were brought to the Ellison Building. I did not get my room so I have to settle up at the accommodation office. 1 of the gal witdrawn and moved out so the room is already empty but I can't understand why can't they just let me in..and I was asked to wait will end Sep to move in...that's ridiculous! Luckily I have a good friend there..so stayed at her cosy house for few days while looking for a place to stay for me. Pretty tiring and sad..with the long flight, travelling alone and without a place to stay..*sigh I have to sleep on airbag but luckily I have my piggy with me :)

 

On the 11th, I've got good news that I can move into QuayPoint but it's already 4.30pm, the office is closed so I can only move in on 12th. It was a 6 ensuite bedroom flat with shared kitchen and living room with Skytv. After everything settled, I met 2 of my flatmates (couple) from Taiwan. Others I haven't met but heard there're 2 from China (they messed up the kitchen badly), 1 had moved out and 1 Malaysian. I then went for enrolment at Campus East. Then shopping for my room! beddings etc..tiring...

Newcastle is about the same but Northumbria University has changed a lot though...
My new room!
