Best University Year Ever

Year 2006 is undeniably my best university year ever. I thank the Lord for bringing me here in His beautiful time. I remember feeling disappointed when I was not able to go to Sheffield after my first year. I lamented and grumbled. Looking back, I was foolish. Now, I would not trade this year in Notts with anything.


Although it was difficult to get adjusted in the beginning, it helped greatly when you have friends here with you. I came with a group of friends who transfered together from the Malaysian campus. It was a blast. This one year here, I got to know so many of them better and have indeed found true friends. They have been very kind and accomodative to me, always listening and lending an extra hand. Thank you all. Special thanks to residents of Claude Street, Number 3, Highfield Road Number 28, Windsor St Number 88 and Broadgate Park.

I'm forever grateful for Meira, Robin and Peyying. Living under one roof with you three can be quite a challenge some times but I'm thankful that it wasnt anyone else. I'm sure the Lord brought us together for a reason and I'm very glad that we've had a good year together. Thank you for putting up with my weird mood swings and demanding requests at times. You three have been amazing and the special bond we share, I trust will only continue to grow. Despite some unnecessary rows between us, I hope they'll come to fade and I'm looking forward to keeping in touch even back home. It's really amazing how well we understood each other despite that brief one year here. I've come to learnt that morphing into each other isnt an option, it's a process that happens naturally when we get too close. Haha..

I've also grown to be quite attached to the family that lives down road at Number 9. It's amazing that we all just clicked so well. The chemistry and understanding we had was quite remarkable. Despite some personalities clashes, we grew to become more than friends, more like a family now. The dinners, barbeque, trips and group study we had together was wonderful. I'm really thankful that we found solace and comfort and support from each other. Matt, Mic, Kar Man and Gordon, you were all amazing friends. We left a piece of ourselves in each other. I'm not sure when will we meet again but I trust that that day will come eventually. Any invitation cards, please send to Kajang, Malaysia! I'm looking forward to seeing you all in KL next year, after uncle's graduation!My best year ever.....Thank you Lord.
