My Music ParadiseLet the music spice up our lives

I think I am too last minute. Full of regrets now! For the last 2 days I only had 2 hours sleep each night! My eyes are practically dark, and puffy. A Persol sunglasses would do me good now! Haha

I am trying to do last minute studying now. But I am free of charge, that means I can resit for free, as many times until I pass it. Since I am not in a hurry to come back now, I havn’t got a huge motivation to drive me to strive.

Having said that, it is always good to pass first time. So I dont have to carry on studying for March or June, I can focus on planning my next holidays!

Now that my Iceland trip is over, it is time to get serious again. I need to start opening my books, to prepare for the long awaited exam. I also need to start hunting for a leather briefcase for my dad’s birthday! Iv got lots to do in such short time!

In fact, I have 8 days left from today, to finish of 2 pharmacy law books! Darn. Can I finish them on time, and pass it the first time??? Let’s hope so. Or else, Ill be back the next time, still studying for it.

I am glad, at least I am still on a 3 week break at home, compared to my friends who went back to work after Iceland trip. Hehe.

We finally saw the aurora borealis that we dreamed of seeing!!

It was one of the things I wanted to see all my life, and I am lucky enough to have seen it at the age of 25! Woohoo. So what is aurora borealis??

According to Wikipedia ‘ It is the natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere’

When we arrived in Iceland, it was raining for the first few days, and we thought, ok, you gotta be really lucky to see the northern lights. In fact, the sky has gotta be clear, no clouds, no rain, right month, right place, and the right time! And on our 4th day, we sense hope. There was no rain, clouds were clear, it was cold enough, and so we booked on the tour!

The bus drove us to the outskirts of iceland, an hour away from city centre, to a pitched black, flat land, and we waited patiently. At 10pm, we saw the lights slowly coming out in the sky, dissapearing, and reappearing. There is a reason why they also call it the dancing lights, because the shapes of the lights changes every few seconds.

It is the most beautiful natural phenomena Iv ever seen!!

I have finally completed my 1 month favour to my boss for working in Teignmouth! Such a relief. The best thing is, I am now off for holidays! Whoop! I have also done my research on motorcycle console. So all work done, and I can relax and enjoy my hols now!! yeah!!

Today is my 1st day in Reykjavik , iceland, weather is surprisingly mild, eventhough it was 6 degrees this afternoon. We overestimated iceland to be an extremely cold country, brought too many warm wear, but I guess, its safer to have more warm clothes than less right? I dont want my ears and fingers to drop off, and struggle the cold, and not enjoy the scenic views!

Tomorrow we will be going for a tour – golden circle, to see the famous waterfall, natural geothermal spa, and some historical places of iceland. Hopefully the weather will be good!

Good day everyone!

So I had the weekend off, what did I do??

I went to Exeter on Saturday, went to mountain warehouse, got some really good bargains for my iceland trip – hiking boots, windbreaker, waterproof trousers, etc. Then I went to Zara (my favourite designer shop of all time) got several tops, then had one of the most delicious pancakes at the kiosk opposite NEXT, finally headed to Plymouth for the night.

I met up with some friends for an athentic chinese meal, to celebrate our friends belated birthday. We had several dishes, and one of the best was of course the lobsters! yum yum..havn’t had lobsters in ages, so had quite a fair bit (allergic reaction the day after – slight rash on face, which is gone now -pheww), then we spent the remaining of the night singing K in the room hired upstairs of the same restaurant, till about 2am!

After a good night rest, we headed out to another friend’s birthday do – steamboat with lamb and beef slices! Another yummy day.. It was such a great weekend! Just pure food, drinks, laughters, and singing, without having to think, strain, stress, for 2 days!! Whoop. whoop.

Ah, I think my Sony Vaio is dying soon. It lags so much that it is  actually affecting  my mood now everytime I go online to surf or do my online work. I might have to look at some clearance laptops, and stock a cheap one for back up if it does crash!

Actually, Iv got a macbook as a spare, but Im just so used to using Windows, I dont think im ready to completely change OS. Darn, I feel so old, like im not adaptable to new things. Everyone is using Mac now, I should really get used to it right? But I only use my macbook when my Sony breaks down, or when I need to skype with family. Ha-ha. Silly me..

I can’t wait for Oct to come, and pass me by like a gust of wind.

I can’t bear thinking of all the travelling I have to go through everyday to get to work, and getting back from work late and dark! Urgh. Just not the way I’d like my everyday to be. I think I won’t have extra time to do my online assignments, and complete my research on pentair heat pumps, not good!

And with the new service in the pharmacy, it will be stressful and a lot of responsibility on me! Let’s hope the month come fast, and past by quickly too! Then I’m off to iceland and home again! Ha-ha.

So this coming week will be an easy week for me, hopefully, as I will not be travelling far for work, I’ll have some spare time to find the quote for universal life insurance finally!

Since my tutor has gone away to Italy for a week’s holiday, I will be covering her days off as usual. Firstly, it isn’t a manic-ly busy store, secondly, I have worked here for a year during my pre-reg days, so I am pretty much farmiliar with the system, staff and customers! And the best part is it is only 5 minutes walk from where I live! That means I can have a lie in for another hour or so, compared to other branches I have to go to.

We have just started talking about our next trip to Budapest, when we havn’t even gone to Iceland yet. Ha-ha. Well this is all we can look forward to, especially being far away from home, there isn’t much to do here in UK, besides work, we look forward to travel and see Europe.

After all, we won’t be staying in UK for very long, it would be a waste if we don’t travel while we can eh, and it’s so much cheaper to travel from here than to travel from Malaysia in the future.

I’v always asked for extra shifts, especially on Sundays because we get paid 1.5. But lately, after coming back from Malaysia, I got so lazy; I don’t want to work more than 5 days a week anymore.

I feel like I need my 2 days off, either to travel, or to laze at home, watch some TV, and get some sleep! Not to forget, I really need to get my studying started! I think I’m becoming like the British, they will not work more if they don’t have to! Ha-ha.
