my Little Loughborough


Ashby Road




since the first time i set my feet in Dublin, i had always been secretly hoping that i could go to loughborough before i left. But God hadnt granted me the oppurtunity until my last week in Europe. And yes, i am so very grateful of His unconditional kindness towards me. Thank you God:)
mum's university

This place - though not major - is very essential to be recorded in my life history. i had no recollections of my days here 21 years ago, and yet it remains very.. 'sentimental' i shd say. there were times when i tried to virtually visualise how the town would look like (based on my mum story and through a few collections of 'ancient' photos) . it was never the same in reality, though i must say my self-designed picture of loughborough hadnt gone adversely astray than how it really looks like in general.


well, thanx mom for bringing me there:-) and for bringing along the other two persons whose presence in life i care about more than my own. i couldnt be more happier to be in loughborough with the 3 persons i love the most in the whole world!!

transitional period



Voila!! as requested , n as been anticipated (;p;p) .. im writing again! im sorry i am very busy at the moment. it's a totally new life for me.. firstly i ve never been too far away from home domestically.. secondly, im practically looking for my ownself myself. and thirdly, i have to study every bit of the next day's tutorials before hand or else i'll be scolded like a darjah 1 pupil. erkhh.. life's challenging. but so far im quite satisfied with my situation now. busy indeed, but well, independence is fun actually.

i dont know how to put it, but my life in Ireland compared to in Penang was - in a way - very distinctly different. i'm missing a lot of things i've had while in Dublin, but at the same time im also enjoying things over here that i would never have had there.

oh by the way, the song that's currently playing is my favourite irish traditional song.been oblivious to it (or had i taken it for granted??) though had heard of the song since my first month there.but then suddenly, on my last days in Eire, i became very touched with it when i realised that could possibly be my last time browsing sourvenirs in Carrols , the Irish gifts store that keep playing the song over and over.

well i miss ireland.. i miss Nancy.. et un garcon que j l'aime vraiment ... il est ma vie.

Adare Village of county Limerick.
Was regarded as Ireland's most beautiful village. There were a few rows of thatched-roof houses which are still preserved and mostly still being pivately owned. susah nk cari rumah camni these days. watched travel programme about Ireland a few months ago, and the pakcik in the programme said there were less than ten houses like this in Ireland now..
