the UK story

so here goes the UK story... (it's not really a story, but how i ended up in the UK, and i did not say that it's gonne be interesting)... anyways, i am finishing my IT degree in 3rd year here... (did I mention that I.T. is boring... that's out of the topic, but anyways)... yup... in a university called middleSEX university.... (sorry, I just had to do that)....... ok.... concentrate...... i completed my 1st sem in this country, and another one to go.... and it starts on the 27th Sept... therefore i have almost 1 month left..... i'm living with my aunt in london.
btw.... i am in the midst of what they call a "summer break".... and it's 4 months..... can you imagine that..... 4 months...... which institute/college/uni/school (especially APIIT) in malaysia will give you a break for 4 months?? anyways, i didn't say it's not good.... and i am not complaining....

The 1st month, i was totally enjoying my break, going on holidays, went to paris, south england camping and so on, then the 2nd month i was getting desperate for £££ so started to look for jobs. I submitted at least 15 applications and not a single reply.... how good is that.... anyways, i am lucky enough i have a relative (father's sister's husband's sister's husband) who asked if i wanted a job, and I said YES without considering, so here I am now working with him in oxfordshire. The working place is absolutely cool.... (will write something bout it in next post)... and oxford town is absolute brilliant.
so there u go...... the UK story..... not much of a story is it...... sigh......
