Moving Day! + Self-campus tour

Dear friend,
So it's officially I'm a college a girl (although I haven't start my orientation yet) but I already moved to my flat yippiekeyayay!

Self-campus tour 29th August 2014 )
Visiting my (very very) new campus at Putrajaya. Well let me tell you one thing, that my uni is a perfect place to study because it is placed in government area and yet, there's only a few people in it. But it's okay though. Okay before I give you all photos, let me introduce you my university (yeay).
Okay so right now I’m going to talk about my future university, the place where I will be studying for the next three years for bachelor. I’m taking Petroleum Engineering at Heriot-Watt University Malaysia Campus. My university is actually based on UK.
(Edinburgh Campus, UK – The main campus)
(Dubai Campus)
“Heriot-Watt University’s name commemorates two men ahead of their time. George Heriot, the 16th century educational philanthropist and financier to King James and James Watt the great 18th century engineer and inventor of the steam engine. There were two successful, leading edge professionals of their time, whose skills and attitudes are embedded in the ethos of the University today. Heriot-Watt University Malaysia will provide a modern dynamic learning environment as a branch campus of Heriot-Watt University. Headquartered in the city of Edinburgh in the UK, Heriot-Watt is an institution with a very strong heritage established in 1821, Heriot-Watt is rooted in the UK.
Heriot-Watt is divided into seven schools and one institute that coordinate its teaching and research:
  • The School of the Built Environment, incorporating architectural engineering, civil engineering, structural engineering, construction management, surveying and urban studies;[29]
  • The School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, incorporating chemical engineering, chemistry, electrical, electronic and computing engineering, mechanical engineering and physics;[30]
  • The School of Management and Languages, incorporating accountancy and finance, business management, economics and languages;[32]
  • The School of Textiles and Design;[34]
Heriot-Watt is known for the strong prospects of its students, with 80% in graduate-level jobs six months after leaving the institution.[41] . It came 1st in Scotland and 4th in the UK in the 2012 National Student Survey,[41] and saw the largest increase in UK applicants of any UK university for the 2013 academic session.[42]  . In 2011, Heriot-Watt was named as the Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2011-2012, with the paper emphasising the employability of the institution's graduates.[41] In 2012, it was again Scottish University of the Year 2012-2013 for the second year running, and also became UK University of the Year for student experience.[43] . In 2014, it was ranked 13th in the UK and 2nd in Scotland by the Guardian University League Table,[44] and 4th in Scotland by the Complete University Guide.[45]

And here I give you my journey (short self-campus tour well actually I was with my family so I didn't actually come alone lol) from Kuala Lumpur I took KL Transit and it cost RM 9.50 from KL Sentral to Putrajaya Sentral. And actually it is the fastest way to go to the Putrajaya. After that we took L04 bus to the university. Fyi, the street is so quiet I mean there's not a lot of people in there so yeah you rarely find people too. 


Will post more about my orientation day and my college flat tour! See ya xoxo

(My) highly anticipated romance movie in (late) 2014

Yup guys I'm back. You know it's 5 days to go until I move in yuhuu can't wait I'm so excited for a new life, my phase 2 of life! Yeay. Anyway, if there my english were wrong just correct me okay? I'm still learning until now, that's the thing about learning isnt it? Doing wrong is still okay? Actually I don't what I want to tell you on this post but I'm just gonna show you about my highly anticipated romance movie in 2014 (well maybe in late 2014)

The Best Of Me
It's another Nicholas Spark's novel turn into a movie guys! Well actually it's my first Spark's book I've (almost finished) read it lol. So yeah I'm waiting for this and I will finish the book before the movie comes out, it's about first love story, separated after 20 years. And here the description from wikipedia:
Based on the bestselling novel by acclaimed author Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me tells the story of Dawson and Amanda, two former high school sweethearts who find themselves reunited after 20 years apart, when they return to their small town for the funeral of a beloved friend. Their bittersweet reunion reignites the love they've never forgotten, but soon they discover the forces that drove them apart twenty years ago live on, posing even more serious threats today. Spanning decades, this epic love story captures the enduring power of our first true love, and the wrenching choices we face when confronted with elusive second chances.


Love, Rosie.
OH YEAH!! I'M FREAKING OUT! NO, REALLY. I'm waiting for this movie to come out like hell yeah can october be sooner or whatevs but i can't wait to see Alex and Rosie (Lily and Sam yeay!) Well it's actually based on novel too from Cecilia Ahern "Where Rainbows End" so many ups and downs, and her writing style on that book is so unique (I recommend that you should try to read it guys).
Where Rainbows End is a story told through letters, emails and instant messaging about the ever changing relationship between the two main characters Rosie Dunne and Alex Stewart. Rosie and Alex are close friends from childhood but one day they are suddenly separated when Alex and his family move from Dublin to Boston. The book guides us through their relationship as it continues to change due to distance, new relationships and circumstances which seem determined to keep them apart. One question remains throughout the book, were they always meant to be more than friends and will they risk everything including their friendship on love? (source)

I guess I will update you soon if there is another romance movie I'm waiting for. I know both of them are based on the books and sometimes when book turn into a movie, the movie will be so much different but still I'm excited for the movie yeay! Goodnight all.

Body Combat and Preparing for College

Hey guys yes it's me. Again. Happy August! Actually I want to tell you my stories why I hate working out (I even hate pe class at school, especially: running, gym ugh i hate it so much) I hate it because it's so tiring and i thought it was okay for not working out so when I was at year ten, I almost skipped class when it's time for pe class lol, i'm not lying, it's true and shockingly it's not affecting my grades. But then on my second year of high school I was so ambitious for getting good grades so I made a promise to myself that I won't skip any class, and I did. I didn't skip pe class although I REALLY want it. I realized then that I have to work out even if it's just running so I asked my mum if I could join fitness club, and after I joined celfit, they give us for beginners free three session with personal train and I felt like my muscles want to burst out, it hurts so bad lol that was because i hate work out. Even until now I'm still a member and yet I still hate running and i don't know why. So I choose to take class in the gym and my favorite and the only class i have joined is BODY COMBAT! Yup, my personal trainer told me about all classes, and he said  body combat is like boxing but mixed with martial arts so I'm really interested to take that class because when I see people boxing or doing martial arts it's kinda cool tbh so I'm curious, is it really fun or not fun at all? My firs body combat class was so tiring, freaking tiring and so thirsty in the end lol BUT IT WAS SO FUN (and until now it's the only class i've ever take and my favorite). Here I give you description and video just a basic information about body combat:

BODYCOMBAT is a high-energy martial arts-inspired workout that is totally non-contact. Punch and kick your way to fitness and burn up to 740 calories* in a class. No experience needed. Learn moves from Karate, Taekwondo, Boxing, Muay Thai, Capoeira and Kung Fu. Release stress, have a blast and feel like a champ. Bring your best fighter attitude and leave inhibitions at the door
It's fun right? Just to see it on video, it looks fun and yet it is really fun. I recommend that for you if you like some fast and fun work out.  ANYWAYS, I've been searching for some good sport shoes I mean running shoes and  actually I've been looking on Rebook shoes collection on Zalora (for you who don't know what Zalora is, it's one of the biggest online fashion stores in Indonesia, they offer us many good stuffs for fashion from various brands! Go check their websites: Zalora ) Should I buy new shoes(?) although I have to save a lot of money but some of the colors are so cute like they ask me to buy them haha.

Finally, college is coming. I'm happy, sad , and excited. Because I will studying abroad and i don't have any idea, i must survive and i will. It's one of my dream though, to studying abroad and I even take my desired major: petroleum engineering. Errr guys, maybe it's the common thing for freshmen or idk lol. My friends already moved to their housing near their uni so we won't be able to meet maybe for a couple months. AND YEAH I HAVE A LOT OF PACKINGS TO DO.
