1st week in Soton again!

2nd trip to Soton. I have landed safely in Stansted Airport around 7.30a.m on the 2/6/09. School has arranged a taxi to pick me up there and sent me to Montefiore 2 University Residence Hall. It took 2.5 hours to reach here. Really tiring and exhausted journey. The flight was not a pleasant journey coz having a serious headache. And it dragged for days to fully recover.
Now is summer, but a cold summer. Day long and night short. The day become bright at around 4.30a.m and dark at 10.15p.m. Still not used to it. 10p.m there are students playing football at the field. Girls were playing water bomb, shouting happily out there, because they have finished their examination. My flatmates, 6 all together are Master final year students. Some of them have left, I guess, coz I don't see them but just hear the closing and opening doors sound.
Really boring here, maybe because of the long hour day time. I feel like nothing to do. But in fact, there are tons of work load waiting for me. Normally I will go to jog at the Riverside Park at around 7p.m, after walking back from office. 7 something then only start cooking. When finished taking dinner, it already 10p.m. Due to jet-lag, sometimes, I slept at 9p.m. But now, I am getting better and settling down quite well.
1st weekend going back to Eastleigh. Just to visit the charity shop, Swan Centre, Tesco and Sainburys. The old lady at the charity shop still can recognise my face, eventhough I have cut my hair. So touch to listen that. Last winter, I went to her shop to buy a jacket c/w fleece in a cold morning. She saw me cold and happy to see me put up the jacket which I bought from her. She said she was happy because she can help to get a suitable jacket for my slim body. Old kind lady, thanks a lot!

Bangkok WREC 2009

1st conference paper was presented in the Bangkok WREC 2009. Quite worry, but also enjoyable. Now looking forward to present in Abu Dabi and Yokohama next year. Hopefully will be supported by UniKL MFI.
