PROPER UPDATE OF MY LIFE

This is a proper blog post (I hope so)

I'll just briefly talk about the highlights of these 3 months that I've missed out. Im so unproductive today so I decided to give myself a cheat day and write a blog post.

After I came back from Ireland early January, it was the beginning of new semester. Which we will all be conducting a 2 weeks joint project along with students from architecture technology, QS, construction manager, building surveyor and lastly us the real estate. we've a total of 11 groups with 12-14 members in a group.

We've to develop a project from a given project site with proper building layout, market research, financial appraisal, life cycle maintenance, construction, all construction projects you name it we've to do it and present to the head of department, director of property company, chartered values and construction managers, architects you name it. Within the 15 minutes presentation, we were pressured and bombarded with questions about the designing, the cost and everything and left us speechless. Some other group members cried after being criticised. It was horrible.

Sadly, we didn't win top 3 but our scores were definitely top 5 among the others. our uni booked everyone a nice luncheon at a super nice restaurant to congratulate our success and give out the award. It was a really nice 2 weeks spending with them.

and then in February, I went to a street singer's headline show and it was amazing.

I guess it was a different kind of experience despite me and my friends were the only Chinese and the eldest fans in the crowd but it was definitely an amazing evening.

Later on I went for Men's nationals in Glasgow. Didn't win but it was a really great experience too see all amazing players gather in the same field to show off their skills.

and then I spent a really great night celebrating Danning's birthday!

day after, I went to uni as a student helper for applicant day. spent some sick time playing VR and interacting with the others. It was a really nice experience as well and good pay with free lunch!

also not too long ago I went for frisbee friendlies in Manchester and it was certainly the most tiring game I've ever played. It was only 5 degrees and crazy wind. I came home sick and had to feed myself panadol before bed. However it was a really great weekend running and injured my tendon and got sick but it was sick! get it get it?

 recently it was Anith's birthday she invited all of her friends and ofc us the frisbee gang for her party. she invited me to come earlier for preparation so I helped her out and she cooked amazing bolognese for me. I learned the recipe and cooked myself some bolognese today and it was amazing. now I've tons of bolognese in the fridge so I do not have to go out to hunt for food in this blizzard weather.

yeah, weather has been really bad recently. it was suddenly snowing, suddenly sunny, suddenly crazy wind. temperature hasn't been really constant and it's making me very sick.

besides, I really want to tell you about my dissertation journey. my supervisor has asked me to conduct interview instead of conducting surveys and it has changed my perspectives and gained so much insights about facilities management. I get to networked with directors of different companies who would spent their precious time with me just to participate in my 15000 words essay. Have my linked in profile connected with these directors make me feel like I'm in the clouds. I can never ask for better experience than this. they were so helpful even when the interview is completed they would still give me a hand if I needed any extra details. my dissertation is due in 3 weeks and I only have them half written. Im currently clueless as I'm also just waiting for my supervisor feedback so I can write a better analysis. it has been a hell of a journey but also a fruitful one for me.

Jessica also just shared our childhood pictures so I thought I'll let you see my RBF since I was 5. Ken was on the left and jess is on the right.

performance for graduation haha.

so far I've no updates. it is very brief but I tried my best. I will try to write more if possible. at least let me go through my dissertation first. adios xoxo

hi guys. I'm finally back?

actually I still can't update much as well because FM deadline is in 2 weeks and I'll have 3 interviews next week for my dissertation. I'm just here procrastinating. at the same time I'm also anxiously waiting for Josiah to text back.

anyway I went to work as a student helper in uni applicant day. 30 quid richer with free food. tried on VR and drone simulator. it was amazing.

it was Danning's birthday and everyone was very happy.

there's actually a lot happened in a month but I don't exactly have the time to type to you all. I don't even update my Instagram blog anymore which I feel very bad about it. furthermore I started writing diary as well so I guess I kinda forgot my blog's existence for a a while haha. but it was more like a planner but I wrote it as a diary and it limits to one page so I'll just blabber whatever happened on the day to the paper.

I hope everyone has a great Chinese new year ! I'll update as detail as possible. perhaps after my dissertation submission haha. love y'all. xx

a lot of unexpected things happened. good ones bad ones. doesnt really matter. in fact i just want this year to be a good one.

guess ive just used a lot of money recently that i really need to cut down since im unemployed atm. furthermore i really dont wanna upset my mum for spending a fortunre just to send me over to the uk.

will try my very best to work on my assignments as soon as i go back. workload has been piling and im a bit freaked out. i just hope shane will bear with me for a while for this. at the same time i wish things will go smoothly according to plan. especially applying jobs in the uk.

leaving carol's house tmrw and back to liverpool is where i realise the reality is hitting my right in front of my face like BAM. but what can i do besides facing it bravely.

loving the people who have been supporting me entirely throughout my journey here. in hope that good karma come around for those who have truly helped the people around no matter little or massive deed.

just want to avoid some problems for a little while. and in hope i'll be brave enough to face them.

let's hope my goals will be achieved. and hope yall have a great new year (: xx

2018

cliche, but it's near year new me time.



heres the video angelynn made for our trip these 2 weeks. check it out! (finally need no any travel posts)

so ive reverted those old blog posts as usual. still yet to change a new theme. will try to do it when im free. at the moment, im just in the middle of trying to finish 1 out of 4 literature reviews.

since im pretty stuck with my work, im just here to blog about what are the goals and shit this year to motivate me.

as usual, the goal is to get a graduate job or maybe pursue a master degree. these are my current main goals.

throughout the year, im hoping i get funded for volunteering program, if not i'll try to work something out for the summer. get better at frisbee if possible. ace my papers and maintain my first class spot.

my entire january will be packed with assignments. first 2 weeks will be the joint project which ive no idea how will it look like. next i'll try my best to finish my literature review by this month so that i can start my interviews and analyse of work for my april submission.

when uni started, 9 months feel so long to complete the dissertation. when the due date comes closer, i realised i only have 3 months left to finish 90% of my work. which is pretty darn crazy.

also, since ive been using up a lot of money recently haha. and since i wont be able to spend money on january due to these workload. but also my work is not requiring that many part timers at the moment due to quiet season so i'll not be able to get extra money for anything. hence my goal this month is try not to withdraw any money until i really needed them.

i simply wish im better at writing up my dissertation so that i can finish up my work easily. maybe because im not using my own laptop and leaving my notebook at home which pretty slows down my progress a lot in writing. and also im currently staying at my friend's place till friday which pretty much just slow down a lot of things since we've plans. even if we dont, i just feel uncomfortable not being at my spot to do my work.

but overall, i generally feel that researching is not my thing. im just hoping i'll be able to finish up something so that everything falls in plan.

will try to blog more. meanwhile im trying my best to do some work. hope yall have a really good new year x
