Let's Start With the White Course Next Time?? LOL.

My first time orienteering was super fail.
We were at Whitbarrow Scar, and that Sunday wasn't that good a day after all.
The weather was horrible with strong wind blowing and rain drizzling non-stop.
Made it so much harder to locate the flags, especially when they were all at ground level.
And, we didn't really know how to read the map and use the compass.

HAHA.

There were 13 control points but we only managed to find three.
And it was all aided by some kind people who stopped their run and led us to where we should find the next flag. Thank youuuu. We were so damn lost.
Paul kept running away from Jorrel and I too (in his Adidas casual sportswear, oh sadness). =_=
And those who helped us were pretty surprised that we took the Short Blue course considering that we were beginners.
Next time we go for this again, we shall take Orange or Green. Meh.

Still, this terrain was a hard one.
There weren't many prominent landmarks or something.
I did enjoyed running around in my new WHITE trainers and ruining them in a mixture of mud and cow pats.
Awesome.
The cows still moo wherever I am.

We went straight for the finishing point to download our results after Point 5.
Haha, we gave up and we didn't have anymore time too.
All courses closed at 14.30.
Thanks Sun for leaving his post so soon in the day. I don't like you anymore Sun. :(

So now, we are sooo fired up for any orienteering activity in the future.
Of course, we will be more prepared at that time unlike on Sunday which was a complete failure.
After one or two practices, we shall race against each other!

To the Right.

In my last post, I actually wanted to mention about how I still have my offers from University of Melbourne and University of Queensland. There, two available options. It just one of those "little" things that makes me think. Shrug.

Walking all the way from Monument to the Iceland in Fenham was no joy. Especially with the strong wind blowing at me constantly. I could have tripped a few times. But even when the wind calmed down a bit, I still managed to twist my left ankle twice. - two thumbs up -

And thank goodness my Assignment 1 was alright.

So now I'm just gonna wait for the Iceland delivery to come.
45.30pounds for 3 person. Reasonable yes?

Two More Weeks to A Happy Holiday.

Just finished my Critical Appraisal seminar. I have to say I quite enjoyed it. How not with an excellent PPD tutor and an interesting insight in determining a good article. There is a list of criteria, and they definitely make up a good and relevant article which makes sense. The crap article on BabyCheck that we had to analyse first, was shit. Obviously so because it was so hard to pick up what the authors were really trying to tell their audience. Interpretations of data was wrong, some information was obtained out of no where, no substantial explanation on what was what, very narrow context... It had all the rotten ingredients in it.

If compared with the second article we got regarding the relationship of "admissions for myocardial infarction and World Cup football".... Wait, I don't even want to compare them. The first article was rubbish, that's all. So I feel quite prepare to tackle my Assignment 2 already. I'm happy I have a really loose schedule till the holiday to complete that assignment.

Assignment 1 was supposed to be returned tomorrow but an e-mail notification stated otherwise. We are gonna get them back one day later. But why don't they just throw them all away into the dumpss... I don't want my essays back!!!

Plus the ethics debate tomorrow, and the second family visit (Hi Emma!!), and a house warming party at Spital Tongue. For the last event, only if people I know are going and are willing to wait for me to return from my family visit. Like say, 8.30pm?!?! It's a Tuesday night! Haha!

And no shit, I still have a family presentation on Friday to be concerned about. The grouping was really biased and the tutor did nothing to help with the situation. How ugly.

No thank you to the cold weather too. I'm hungry all the time. I eat all the time. I drink all the time. I'm gonna grow hugeeee in no time! Especially when I'm extremely stingy with spending my money on the Sports Centre membership and paying for the gym facilities. Then again, if I join it, I could participate in those street dance or break dance classes to sweat it out once a while.

Oh well. That's quite a lot of information up there. For once ever since I set foot in Newcastle. There you go.

Have I mentioned? Sunday lunch with Jorrel and Kington was fantastic! And whatever we talked about at The Bridge Hotel over Brown Ales and FUDGES. They were delicious! Too bad I missed out on the dinner at Cheeky Duck (AGAIN............) just before Kington left on the train back to Leeds.

Wellll, before a forthcoming Leeds trip, there will be my first ever Wilderness Medicine orienteering event on Sunday!!!!!!!! I'm quite excited about it! WOOTS! Physical!!

5 miles SW of Kendal in Whitbarrow!
Only 20 of us!
Here I come!


Cheers!!

Alles gute zum Geburtstag!

It's a shame that I'm not updating my blog as often as I can.

Quite a couple of fun things happened during the weekends.
Wasted.
Not entirely either coz I'm a good girl and I kept myself in good control.
Like. Seriously.
Hehehe.
Gotta be proud of me okayy.
Study hard and play hard at the same time.
That's the way.

And all the more satisfying, I wanna thanks Dat Han a million gazillion times for helping me with making my London trip possible!!!
SOBS.
THANK YOU DAT HAN.

THANK YOU KENNY for the hitler joke.
LOL.

THANK YOU SANIYA for listening to my story.
LOL.

Last but not least, no thank you to WEI KEEN for all the teasesss.
HAHAHA.
Just kidding mate!

And worm too, chill it out with Satish.
HAHAHA. Coz I don't get the connection or you just love Satish too much.
AWWWWW.
Later Nick becomes jealous. >:O

These all just happened.
That's right, I just came back from Ka Liang's flat feeling totally awesome.
And now I'm considering lunch at Chinatown.
Otherwise I will just want to stay in my flat and sleep off the day.

Probably the latter would be what I want subconsciously??

And Evan.
As the title says:
"Alles gute zum Geburtstag!"
I hope it's correct!!!
Love you so much.

And please don't be disappointed yet okay!!!
Like I said in it, REAL DEAL COMING SOON.
AS SOOOOON AS WE MEET EACH OTHER IN UK.
NEXT WILL BE MY TRIP TO LAND OF WEINER!

MUAX!

Waking Up!

xD

Righttttt.
I saw what you wrote on my wall, Hui Yi.
But I don't think I'm gonna write about that just yet.
For the mean time, I'm just too exhausted.
Mentally and physically.


All I can say is.
We had a good time.
And it's never enough.
I sorta regret the fact that I was so busy all the way until Thursday.
I wish everything has been more organized and each day you spent can be more productive.

But then again, it was a wonderful week.


Am really satisfied that, I got you something in the end anyhow.
The last minute purchase.
Glad you like it.
=]


And like, once again I'm reminded that I won't be seeing my close friends for years.
That really made me felt depressed.


I wonder how long I'll keep saying this:

I miss all of you so much!
