The United Kingdom

It has been 2 weeks since I've arrived in the UK. So I toured a bit of London before coming to Plymouth. 

LONDON
I was a very boring tourist. Actually, I'm really not. My aunts are. They went to the usual places like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, etc. Which is cool but I wanted to see more such as their business area; the Lloyd's Building and all. Places not a lot of tourists go, you see. But it's alright I guess, I loved it.
The Changing of Guards at the Buckingham Palace was great. There's the marching band and all. Damn, I like that part best. Hahaha. It brought back a lot of memories. 
We went to the Harry Potter studio as well. Gosh! I wish I could live there! It was AMAZING! I don't really know how to explain it to you guys. All the props, the costumes, behind the scenes, the drawings, models of all the buildings including the MAJESTIC school. Greatest thing I've ever seen. I can't even begin to express my feelings and thoughts about it. It's just really really amazing. I was in awe.
We also went to Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and City of Bath. The history behind these places are incredible. History, Culture, and especially architecture. I just love it. Just BEAUTIFUL. Really really beautiful. There's no such thing like this in Singapore. NO SUCH THING WHATSOEVER. I mean, we do have culture and history but that's like whatever. In UK, it is way different. I especially love Windsor Castle. I love reading about the Kings and Queens of Europe. Like, what if Singapore had royalty? It would be very interesting. 

PLYMOUTH
So after 5 days in London, we finally traveled to Plymouth. We stayed at Saltash; it's like a 30 minutes drive from Plymouth city centre. So first day here we didn't do much because of the drive. Took about 4 hours from London to Plymouth. So we checked in to out resort. The next day, we went to Tavistock. Lovely place. But there's lots of bees. I can live WITHOUT it. Hahaha. Then we went to Dartmoor. Not much but there's a market place there which is lovely for the small town. 
Next day we went town hopping. Round Robin. We took a ferry from Totnes to Dartmouth. And then we walked around Dartmouth. Such a beautiful place. We visited the Bayard's Cove Fort. I love that place. Basically because it's a fort and it looks super cozy. Hahaha. 

So on the 10th of September, I officially moved in to my new place. And that morning, they leave UK to go back home. Very emotional day for me as it was my 22nd birthday and I was completely alone on my birthday. I like to spend my birthday quietly, alone in my room but then, back in Singapore, I had friends and family with me. Here, I was completely alone that day. There was another tenant that has already moved in then but didn't see him till like the next week. So I walked around for a bit and reached home about 4pm and did nothing but lay in bed crying. Was so emotional and tired from crying, I slept before the sun went down and slept the whole night through like a baby.
I found out the next day that some of my friends are coming down on the 12th afternoon and I was extremely happy! I was so thrilled, I couldn't stop smiling when I met them. Best day since my birthday. HAHAHA! Anyway, after that was just school stuff all the way which I will update when classes starts. 

Till then,
Keep smiling,
Suhaidah

For that 2nd edition, Jones transreplica watchesformed the actual bezel as well as overhead style with the addition of overhead pads, the somewhat domed sapphire very, improved to some tag heuer replica automated motion, as well as additional a good hyperlink stainless band along with ratcheting expansion hold.

It's hard to make a watch nowadays that won't possess features associated with other people, as well as past which, the actual Oceanis isn't the respect or even duplicate associated with anyone watch possibly.

University

Hey guys! Finally have started school. It's Wednesday and I'm done for the first week. HAH! How 'bout that? Anyway, University life and poly is very different. Poly is like when you're about 3 or 4 years old and your mum is kinda feeding you but you also feed yourself kind of thing, you know. University is when you are 5 years old; your mother will tell you what to eat and you feed yourself. Well, at least that's what degree is like. I can't imagine people taking their Master's Degree and PHD. *Oh, and one of my housemate, the Spanish girl, sutdies PHD in marine sciences.* So, A LOT of self study which is honestly not what I am up to. I already have an assessment to do. Deadline is in 3 months and I have no fucking idea what to do. So, yay for me! And it's like 50%. I can't even... So I mentioned in my previous post that I have a housemate that already moved in before I did. For the sake of privacy, let's call him J. He's British and ...

My Temporary Job (Esprit)

So I've found myself a temporary job, a part-time job at Esprit as a retail assistant. I've had a part time job before back in 2011 when I worked as a temporary payroll assistant. But that was working in the office, 5 days a week kinda job. Doesn't really feel like a part-time job. This, working as a retail assistant, working during weekends, with so many off days feels like a part-time job. I was really glad I found a job. This job. Though I kind of feel like I was downgrading myself. From an office person who should be still working at Senat Shipping got retrenched and started working in retail. Thought I wasn't really going to enjoy working as a front liner in retail because it is way way outside my comfort zone. I was wrong. It has been 3 weeks in since I have started working at Esprit and I am really enjoying it. I really do. Serving customers (fucking strangers) and other retail stuff (you know, folding clothes and such). So far, I have not yet encountered stu...
