So, I arrived in Cambridge last night! For those of you who didn't know I was back in Malaysia for two weeks (well, one actually, the other week was spent on vacation overseas) for my Christmas break! I also managed to get my probationary driver's license, right before I turned 18! Which is a miracle, actually, considering I made the examiner so pissed during my road test. Hopefully I'd still be able to drive when I get back in the summer!
At Kok Weng's place now, because Alison and I crashed his place as our room in Purbeck is in a mess due to works going on in our bathroom. Also, I lost my house keys heh, gonna have to go and get a duplicate.
Okay, considering I have done this for the past two years or so, I guess summing up my year will become an annual thing from now on. So, what I did on my seventeenth year?
As everyone knows, I started my 2011 in a land that is over 10000 km away from home and 8 hours behind everyone else.
So where did I live? A little nice house in Cambridge, which I shared with..
6 guys and 3 girls.
Despite the shit we had to go through sometimes, like the school food and PMS-ing warden, I had a lovely six months there.
Which led me to gaining a whole bunch of bros, due to the fact that out of the 14 Malaysians, 8 of them were guys.
At the same time, not forgetting my lovely bunch of homeys back home.
The lovely bunch of girls who have stuck with me since 2006, including June, Sam, Tzi and Jia Jen who aren't in here.
My main source of entertainment back in 5C.
Not forgetting the family.
On side note, I dissected a lamb's heart!
Became a tour guide in Cambridge, albeit bad at it.
May ball!
And in the summer, we had a lovely cookout by the river!
Got my first work experience! Picture here with the Taylor's uhh, colleagues. Gosh it feels weird saying that.
Tried something new.
Started another school year in the same year. And found out that my school has a thing for barbecues.
We had one for the end of the school year, and another one in September when we came back after the summer.
Celebrated something I usually celebrate with family, with a family of a different kind away from home.
Fireworks Night 2011.
Got to see one of my most favourite bands in the world. <3
And also The Sleeping Beauty ballet in the Royal Opera House in London, oh so posh.
Malaysian food fest!
And I got to visit one of my most favourite places in the world for the second time!
Taken at Kiyomizu temple, Kyoto.
And we started 2012 with a bang.
Happy new year guys. 2012 is gonna be good. :)
Okay, one week of hardcore driving and another a week in Japan has left me far behind in my studying, and I've got an exam in January! This means I won't be back for awhile, so, yeah, be patient for the next post! :)
Suet Tyng
Can you believe it has been exactly a year?
