相对论 relativity

有很多观念自从来到了英国，变得很抽象了..


温度：20度是我家开冷气时的温度，12度是曼彻斯特常常的温度，有一个早上它跌到6度,我的身体已经分辨不出这些温度了。今天13度，为什么感觉比昨天12度冷？-5度的感觉是怎样的？我坐飞机时,surrounding air temperature曾经-28度，那又是怎样的感觉？我知道0度的感觉是冰

时间: 究竟我现在的生命是以马来西亚时间计算还是英国的时间计算？我是否年轻了7个小时？如果是，为什么？如果不是，又为什么？假设我在马来西亚种一棵植物，我将它移去美国，它会因此少一天的年纪吗？如果不是，岁月是不是不再靠日夜计算？靠记忆？我的手表和手机都显示英国时间，但我laptop还是显示马来西亚时间，我现在觉得有两个时间系统在进行着，当有一天我将laptop时间换成英国时间和渐渐忘记马来西亚的时间，我是否年轻了7个小时？

目前我觉得自己在慢慢过日子，由于相对论，在佛或神或上帝或宇宙统治者眼里，我会不会是在光速浪费时间？

算了吧，不要胡思乱想，哈哈，吃晚餐！

UK =)

i found a song in my friend's wall that exactly depicts what i feel about coming UK from malaysia to study a MPharm degree..esp the chorus =)

Breakaway by kelly clarkson


Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window

Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean

Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away
And breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging 'round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Prof Alan Gilbert

the first vice chancellor and first president of The University of Manchester Prof Alan Gilbert passed away in Manchester in july 2010 because of serious heart condition, what a great loss to the university =(

i only knew about it after i settled down in manchester..the news come as a great unpleasant surprise because i not even aware of the former Vice-chancellor's illness.. i think many of the students in manchester also not aware of it

Prof Alan Gilbert was the first president of The University of Manchester, which was formed when UMIST and Victoria University of Manchester merged in 2004. He was also the man that initiated Manchester 2015, a plan to make The University of Manchester a top 25 university in the world by 2015

Prof Alan Gilbert was the man that appeared in first page of Manchester Advantage, Arrival Guide and Orientation Guide that greeted all new students(including me) in those documents. It was quite sad because when i achieved my dream to study in The University of Manchester, Prof Alan Gilbert had passed away.

May you rest in peace in heaven, Prof Alan Gilbert

开学了！

在Prof David Clarke开始给welcome talk时，我身为pharmacy student的生涯也开始了。
看着身边200个未来药剂师，我不禁有些兴奋：开学了！

skype很好，让我感觉家人还是在身边，只是家里的webcam太low resolution了，我看不见家人！他们看到我，因我的webcam是2megapixels..开学了，skype时间将减少了（开学唯一的缺点）

今天又认识了几个读pharmacy的马来西亚学生 =）
今天也去了whitworth park的BBQ，还玩弹弹跳，有点晕晕走回宿舍。
今天又再次推掉了flatmates的邀请，我不喝酒

p/s:course administrator suzanne davies比我想象更年轻 =P
also, very grateful for Mr Tai phone calls from malaysia, thanks for your concern, sir! 虽然我A-level chemistry得了600/600， 但还是没有像班上其他人一样挤进world top10，还是觉得有些对不起mr tai..听senior说mr tan也问了我的电话号码，谢谢关心 =）

The University of Manchester

曼彻斯特大学的shortform是什么？

曼大？挺怪的 =P









当我拿到我的学生卡，有一种感觉：A level时的梦想终于完成了
希望这里的大学生活会很有纪念性 =）

舒适区 comfort zone

Mr Tai曾说过我要move out of my comfort zone,别局限自己。
我的七个flatmates， 六个是英国人，一个是Estonia人，也的确是一个增加社交圈，扩大视野，有国际观的好机会。但三天过去了，我依然没有和他们深入的聊天，除了普通的闲聊几句。我还是躲在comfort zone？

不管怎样，Rasmus，Alex，Nick，Josh，Andy，Josh，Sam，nice to meet you all =)

饭

第一次在uk自己煮

饭总会让我想起远在一万公里外在马来西亚的家，然后再想起马来西亚的阳光
番茄炒蛋，我在ucsi两年比较熟练自己煮的食物，那时候每星期周末还可以回老家吃大餐.. 如今远在异国，家的好吃食物离我太远了

饭吃在嘴里，发现有些硬，水放太少？
我后来才发现鸡肉oven得不够熟..当它在我肚子里，我才发现我生吃了它

原本是想写一个游子想家的感人post，后来type着type着，变成了一个游子煮失败的搞笑post

我的flatmate Josh觉得我煮番茄炒蛋很“impressive”，不像他只用microwave。Josh，我其实只会炒蛋，你高估了我，哈哈，明天你就会发现了 =）

曼彻斯特

从KLIA到London Heathrow，到Manchester Airport..
经过十几个小时的飞行，我终于到达了曼彻斯特。

在KLIA，挥手向家人说再见，我肩负一家人的希望前进 =）

飞行的前一天

在我flight的前一天，我终于拿到我的visa了 =）也够惊险了

So, are YOU ready?

"Am I ready to go UK?"
