hello, my name is Szetoo and no for the millionth time, that name is not Japanese (for heaven's sake, use Google will ya) and yes, this is a little documentary travel educational (read: boring text with the occasional okay probably frequent insertion of pictures) blog which i've set up for the following purposes:
1. to assist in my failing memory
like all other women, i tend to have the tendency to remember what i wish to remember, usually the unimportant, the unnecessary or someone else's list of things to do rather than my own. i once read in the papers that women have this squirrel like tendency to store nuts (little details basically) and then take them out only when they need them (and use them against men cos men, as we all know have the failing memory of a bar counter peanut). i'm not really that kind of female if you ask me but then again, women also have the ability to make men think that it's their faults and that they're wrong.
again, i am not that sort. the writer of that article obviously hates women. well like i said, i forget a lot of details sometimes and dahlah i'm paying almost 30K for this i had better remember the whole lot of it to remind me to slave my ass off to pay back my folks once i graduate.
2. to fulfill my irrational need to complain and look professional at that.
anything in print or in written form is usually taken much more seriously than utter gibberish speech. correct right tak salah kan you pergi gahmen or corprate sektor semua nak hitam-putih, kalau tak, tak layan langsung okay. i understand that people despise irritating whiny Asians. well that's the angmohs' problems.
3. as reference for future TARC students who wish to pursue this 3 months degree conversion programme to Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU)
hi, the reason why this Liverpool trip is happening is cos i have an Advanced Diploma and voila, it's not recognizable here in Malaysia cos the name is too long and unglamorous cos it sounds like an extension of the Diploma itself so, jeng jeng jeng, TAR College has devised this marvellous plan in which it collaborates with an overseas uni namely Liverpool John Moores University so that it's students not only obtain an overseas Degree (which is like dang coveted among local companies and family members here in Malaysia, wah your son from OVERSEAS UNI AH WAH SO KENG CHOW HOR!) and the overseas experience.
In the next post, I'll update more on procedures, notable airlines, what to expect and stuff like that. Will be flying off with the classmates on the 28th of May (that's like two weeks from now i dowan to gooooooo, ooooh ironically a plane just flew by!) from KLIA at 9pm so if you see a large bunch of us Chinese sepet noisy kids, that's US!
My mother is already fussing about plates and rice and washing powder and has even bought fish curry paste and chicken curry perencah for me omg -__-
there'll be info on my course, flight stuff, adventures there (harhar), pictures, getting lost, best places to shop, how to live frugally, how to survive LDR and how to survive the whole three months there basically. it's sorta like a help guide for students (especially future TAR College students who intend to go on this course in the future). i know i sorta complain alot but don't take me seriously, that's just melah i tend to exaggerate problems sometimes, bad habit!
it'll be cool! i'll bring in voluntary contributors as well (coursemates!) and they'll give you their two cents worth about life there on the site as well (can rightttt?). layout is quite plain for now but i'll touch up once i have free time or if someone can help :)
i'll link up my twitter as well so you can check out where we are, what we'll be up to and stuff.
And so I leave you two pictures of Liverpool, it had better look like that! The only thing I'm grateful about now is that I get to escape the heatwave here and imma take LOADS of pictures there.

take care, okay? kuai kuai thak chek and also enjoy yourself. i'll be looking forward to reading (and also looking at your pictures) about your adventures and i know i'm sure going to enjoy them like how i enjoyed reading enid blyton's the adventure series!
xx
*is so envious!*
jo: *sheds tears* i always get the most unexpected and touching messages from you, you know or not! well it's just three months and i'm still not prepared (mentally) to go, sigh. i'll take care, wa chin na kuai leh. thanks for always following my sad boring blogs and i LOVE ENID BLYTON i don't think my adventures will be as amazing as her writings. sadly. Hugs and more hugs Jo. it's been ages and ages since i last saw you.
another Jo(anne): you went aussie la here la there la i lagi jealous okay woman -__-
Aussie's nothing compared to ENGLANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!
*rawrs*
jo: only two hours ago did it really hit me that i will be living in some foreign country for three whole months. then i took a nap.
OK expecting a whole gazillion of them pics here
visit me =P Only 5 hours away but won't be around for most of June.
Lace: eh you also must contribute okay i don't care, so take pics can write bout how you feel bout anything. food ke, accomodation ke, the toilets, classes, the city anything okies.
Ven: wah so far T_T i havent done any research bout LP also tau
not that far la. it's just that you need to change train a few times.
Btw, maybe going to Manchester for the pre-season friendly in Aug.. =)
hugs back. i know, it's been ages since we met. and that was the only time but it was a good one. i know, i didn't go to kl like i planned to. but this time, once i'm back, i know i will. and this time, we will have to catch up. but that will be the end of this year. and i hope that by then, you wouldn't have decided to extend your stay in liverpool and not go back to kl anymoreeeee.
haha. but even if you do, i'll still be happy for you. cause i think it's like this. before you actually go, you won't ever be prepared for it. but once you're there and you get the hang of things, you will like it and you will consider about staying longer. well, i think that applies to most people la. we'll see how you go :)
and hey, you don't have to thank me for following your blog. i do drop by every now and then because although i admit, sometimes your entries are rather emo, i still wouldn't mind reading them. i guess i could relate sometimes, somehow. and seeing your pictures is another bonus too!
plus, we haven't seen each other and we never really keep in touch. so i suppose by following your blog, at least i still feel somehow, in touch, you know what i mean?
okay. i think i just wrote a 1000-word essay as a comment here. haha. i should stop.
prepared or not yet, i'm sure you'll be alright! hugs again!!
everyone has their own lives to lead, and thank god there's the internet so that we never lose touch although we never meet. well, the good news is that i will be coming back in September cos i don't intend to stay in UK (my visa is a 6 month visa) for long. in fact i'm not even excited about going there due to the insane workload. besides, i can't wait for my real life to begin here in KL :)
sigh, do you have a blog i could follow? cos i feel like i'm losing touch with loads of people these days. i try not to write emo stuff anymore cos i'm not i've been really happy lately. the only thing that saddens me is that ive stopped taking pictures like i used to, i guess it's a state of mind.
keep reading, hopefully my writings about UK entertain you just as much ;)
hugs hugs hugs
