It is also the second largest Scottish loch at twenty three miles long and it is by far the deepest - deeper that the height of London s BT Tower. The loch is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounded by moorland mountains and wooded shores. It is part of the Great Glen, a fault line that runs over 60 miles from Fort William to Inverness and where tectonic plates collided to form what is Scotland today. The earth is still moving around Loch Ness with the land around the loch rising 1mm every year.

Castle Urquhart Urquhart Bay Loch Ness Sightings - Just outside the town south at Urquhart Bay is Castle Urquhart. It is one of Scotland's largest castles on the banks of Loch Ness where it has occupied a defensive position for over 500 years.

Everything from fish workers, to shipbuilding to off-shore oil rig life is explored here through interactive displays, photography and film.Aberdeen was a centre fro shipbuilding during the 19th and 20th centuries - 3000 ships were built here including world class tea clipper Thermopylae.The museum also contains a comprehensive guide to Britain's offshore oil and gas industry, with real life experiences through film and photography from off-shore workers themselves. The history of Aberdeen Harbour is explored particularly in the Aberdeen Harbour Gallery with artifacts from the 13th century to the present. Fishing too has always been an important industry in Aberdeen, and the history of fish workers past and present is given due attention. Children will love the maritime museum here in Aberdeen, as exhibits go to great length to involve them through interaction.

Arberdeen – Edinburgh ( 3hrs )

EDINBURGH – Edinburgh Castle
This most famous of Scottish castles has a complex building history. The oldest part, St Margaret's Chapel, dates from the 12th century; the Great Hall was erected by James IV around 1510; the Half Moon Battery by the Regent Morton in the late 16th century; and the Scottish National War Memorial after the First World War The castle houses the Honours (Crown Jewels) of Scotland, the Stone of Destiny, the famous 15th century gun Mons Meg, the One O' Clock Gun and the National War Museum of Scotland.   

St Giles' Cathedral - Discover 1,000 years of history in the heart of Edinburgh. Founded in the 1120s, St Giles' was the church of John Knox during the Reformation and is often referred to as the 'Cradle of Presbyterianism'. Highlights of a visit include our beautiful stained glass windows.

OXFORD TRIP!! 17th MAY 2008

2008-05-25T13:52:00.016+01:00

YEAY!! I’ve been to the most prestigious university..=D I’ve joined the trip to Oxford with other folks from our University.. It was a REALLY REALLY tiring trip, since it was like going to and fro KL-Penang in a day!! Phew!! But, it worth it.We started at 8.30 and arrived in Oxford at 12.30pm. The tour started at 1.30pm, where we started exploring the Merton College. The pioneer college.. the most famous college in University of Oxford! Woah..I am so impressed! We've started exploring the Merton College, discovering the history of Oxford city and the University. The air there is Soo Different, where I can sensed the spirit of intelligence, Excellence,everything..*wink*I was so amazed with everything.. How I wish, I am one of Oxford University's Student rite, now!! =D The picture shows the brilliant students enjoying their sunny day on the Merton's field..
We strolled around the college, had the chance to see their hostel, the chapel, their 'lepak' place. There are all old buildings around the college and Oxford City. It was built as early 13th century..1310..Woah!! as I went into the Chapel, in the Merton College, I managed to visit the SMALLEST chapel in ENGLAND.. it supposed to be bigger..but, during the development of the chapel, they didnt afford to buy the land from the people..since it was sold to someone else..that's why, the chapel ended with a limited space & got the title "the SMALLEST Chapel in England".. the students will go there to perform their service..the time we visited Oxford, it was during the 'trinity season'.. People are graduating!! So ENVY!!

I want to Wear that 'Gaun'!! Those guys just finished their graduation and were out from performing their service in the Chapel at the Merton College.
Our next stop was Jesus College. This is the 2nd best college among the whole 91colleges in the Oxford Uni..and the best thing was, i went to the dining hall of Harry Potter!! did u remember the scenes at the dining hall in Harry Potter movies?? that is it..the one in the picture..Sgt best!

After this stop, we went to the medieval area. Oxford is separated to 4 different areas; the commercial area-the places to shop,bit busy with buses+people, the medieval area-full with old+historical building, the education area-the schools & the colleges, and the industrial area which the production & manufacturing activities take place. "When we are in Oxford, we will always being watched", our tour guide said. Do you know why?? Coz each of the buildings is engraved with motions of faces. Some with odd+ugly looking faces..with its own significant..They look like the one in the left picture..and On the right is the one, with a nasty look. HaHa..

Finally, we went to the Graduation place. the Sheldonian Theatre..at That time, the graduating ceremony was being held..people were busy hanging around the area..outside the Sheldonian Theatre, there was a group picketing for the right of animals from being killed for science research.This will always happen during the trinity season. I wish, one day, I'll be in the Sheldonian Theatre, receiving my certificate. Yeay! *wink*..

After about 2hours guided tour, we separated from the group, and captured more pictures. I really enjoyed the day in Oxford.Went home at 5.30 from Oxford, & arrived Manchester at 8.30pm. All i can say is ..
I Respect, I envy , I aM Motivated!

This is my current song, which i LAYAAAAAAAAAANNNNN the most nowadays. It is one of the soundtrack in Sindarella Drama series. One of the Top Hits in Malaysia now. Here's the lyrics.

Title: Warkah
Artist: BAU

takkan lagi aku menunggu
kau hadir didalam mimpi-mimpiku
puas ku mengharapkan dirimu
seperti mereka yang punya cinta

diriku tanpa dirimu
kau tempuhi penuh bahagia
diriku mahu kau tahu
pedih ini kau tak terasa

warkahku mengharapkan dirimu
seperti yang aku kenali dulu
setiaku menantikan dirimu
seperti setianya terhadap diriku

tapiku melepaskanmu
melangkah namun tak berdaya
terusku terus menunggu
cinta yang takkan pernah ada

SELAMAT HARI IBU..HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MAK!! dia lah satu-satunya MAK yg ku ada dlm dunia nih.. bila ditanya, "Mak nak apa for mother's day?" Mak jawab," Dengar cakap Mak sudahlah..Mak takmau apa2.."..huhu..sayu sekali mendengar kata2 itu..it's been 7months, 1week & 1 day, i've been away from home..and since that , i havent had a direct "eye to eye" talk dgn Mak..dah lama tak renung mata mak..how i missed it so much..walau pun jauh, i never failed to call Mak at least, twice a week..oppss..but, there was once, when i kept silence for awhile..i havent called her for a week, and she was sooo worried..I'm Sorry, MAK..
MAK is My Strength..My reason for living..my reason for me to keep studying..how will i live without MAK? She's my everything.. I know, i am bad at times..and naughty too..but , for real, I really love you MAK..
THANKS Mak, for all the doa, that u keep reciting for me..for always wishing for my excellence, and all the good lucks towards me.. MAK selalu pesan, " Adik, blajaq rajin-rajin..Mak tak dak harta nak bagi, tapi hanya ilmu saja yg Mak nak tinggai bagi kat adik"..and Mak slalu kata," Adik, rajin-rajin sembahyang, slalu doa banyak-banyak..dan adik tolong doa untuk Mak..Mak pun selalu doa untuk adik..Mak tiap-tiap waktu doa untuk adik..Adik take care tau..LOve & kisses to You"... That's what Mak will said to me, every time, before we ended up our phone conversation.. Yes Mak, i'm doing it.. I am listening to you ,Mak.. I am missing you so much..
Mak jugak slalu pesan, Mak cakap, doa ibu dengan anaksampai bila pun tak terbatas..ALLAH akan sentiasa makbulkan doa ibu kepada anak, dan doa anak kepada ibunya.. Itu yg Mak selalu ajarkan..dlm cerekarama, "DEMI WAKTU" ,which was on air on 10th of May 2008, 10.00pm on tv3, that drama shown about this.. kisahnya, si anak lupa diri when he'd succeeded in his life, and tak nak mengaku his own mother, who is one eye blind, and daif.. sampai one time nih, he's failing in his business and he went back to his kampung to search and meet her mum.. when he's at his kampung, org kampung kasi tahu, Mak dia dah meninggal dunia.. that's when he started to ruin his life, and his business and career is failing... maknanya, hidupnya mula kacau bilau, setelah ketiadaan ibunya yg mendoakan kesejahteraannya.. Huhuhu..sungguh sedih disitu.. Ku harap, agar ikatan dan doa ku dan Mak akan berterusan..Amiinn..
Mak is soo wonderful...she's tough..VERY VERY patient woman.. i had never met anybody who can be compared to her.. she's my Angel..the spirit of My soUL..and yet, everybody likes MAK..tak kira lah siapa pun yg jumpa MAK mesti suka MAK..my nieces, cousins, friends, teachers, my friend's mum, pun suka jugak..Many Many Thanks MAK..

MAK, I REALLY LOVE YOU..I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU..THANKS A LOT MAK..Hope that ALLAH will give you a Long Healthy live, and Bless you, and all of us, ALways...i Love, i Adore, My Mother!!

Get him to listen to you

2008-05-10T23:19:00.001+01:00

Sometimes your guy's attention isn't focused where you want it to be: on you. Maybe he's spent the last month obsessing over the playoffs, and when he wasn't doing that, he was fiddling with his work email on a Blackberry, or simply wondering how the heck he got sucked into digging David Archuleta in his Idol time. No matter what his distractions, they're no excuse for spacing out when you're trying to tell him about your lousy work day or give him the latest update on your sister's fiancé.

So how do you make him swivel his neck back into proper position—and keep his attention squarely focused on you? Speak his language. After all, if you can keep him from drifting away, it'll help keep you from drifting apart.

Ask him for help up front

Guys know that half the reason you're telling us about your problem is because you need to vent, and that means you need us to just listen. And we respect that. But you can ensure that he'll be more focused on your problem if you tell him from the start, "Honey, I need your help on something." That gives him a task, a challenge, a responsibility. Even if you already know what to do, ask him for his input. It'll make him feel like you're also focused on him, and trust him to see you through whatever's bothering you.

Bury the lead

It's an old phrase that journalists use when they wait until the fifth paragraph to tell you the news. You can use the same tactic to keep his attention. Instead of saying that your mom called you today to tell you that Ruffles, the 15-year-old family cat, passed, draw the story out a bit. Tell him your mom called, she sounded sad, she said she didn't want to call, but she needed to, and so on. One of the reasons why guys love sports so much is that they don't know the outcome at the opening kickoff. So start the clock, but don't give away the ending. As Scheherazade taught us, a little suspense can hold a guy's attention for a thousand and one nights. (On night 1002, let him watch basketball.)

Wear a baseball hat

Sorry to say, but guys will be more stimulated conversationally the more stimulated they are physically. And if you look darn good (a woman in a baseball hat does it for some men, for instance), then a guy's senses are going to be heightened, making him more emotionally attentive to his partner as well.

Use the right timing

Not good times to talk about something important (or even unimportant, but interesting): Calling him at work, right when he leaves for work, right when he comes home from work, when he's watching something on TV that he's been looking forward to, or anytime the kids are around (they need attention, too, especially if they happen to be throwing food or a fit at the time). The best time: When life's slowed down a bit, like on a walk or on a car ride, or when he's winding down for bed. Of course, guys know deep down that they should listen to you whenever you need them, but we're human, and distractible, too. If you can scoot their way a little bit, we're more likely hear it when you talk. Or shout. Or better still, whisper.

It is BANK HOLIDAY!! today is the off day in uk, wales + ireland.i went out this morning, and the road was empty..not as buzy as the usual Monday..some people might call monday, as "Monday Blues" or "Gloomy Monday"..but for me, I do love Monday..cOz it is my day, to be incharged of the kitchen!! i'll do the cooking for breakfast +early lunch or dinner. I dont really cook for the rest of the days, since from mon-thurs, there'll be someone incharged on the cooking...frm fri till weekends, i might eat outside or just have simpler dishes or skip rice..depends..

I am missing home so much..yet i was Soooo Desperately miss the "nasi jagung" that i've eaten during my college life.. special nasi jagung cooked by Pakcik Ismail, abg is's daddy.. can't explain the feeling, when i was having the delicious lunch during the Double T race at Bukit Belacan, ampang.. :D *tambah byk kali, tuh*.. and i was craving about, "lauk kenduri"..and So, i decided to cook "nasi jagung", "ayam masak" & "acar timun+nenas".. (my mak and ayah, will surely be HAPPY and excited when they knew this)..hihihi..

I've started cooking around 2.30pm, with some tips from Diana's resipi..and completed my cooking session around 4.30pm..phew!! that's including the preparation of the ingredients+cooking the dishes+cleaning the kitchen.. my 1st trial of "nasi jagung" succeeded!!! Hooray!!! somehow, next time, i need to cook the rice LATER than the dishes..and to add a bit more salt+water..and to use corn in can or corn from the comb, instead using the frozen one.. I love this temptation...cooking made me satisfied..and i might eat more when i cooked by myself..haha.. (really dangerous).. i cooked, i cleaned up, i eat, I am Stuffed & Satisfied.. :)

That's RITA. She turned 48 yrs old on that day..she's talkative..but having lack of stability with her concious mind..she kept saying, " Today is my Birthday! Today i am 48! i got 8pounds for my birthday!!" she was Soo excited that day..i was just smiling and nodded to what she said.. the guy in this clip, is JOHN. He's having disability in hearing..and verbally as well.. SUE, the on that looks like a rockstar, with her lollipop..she's numb, but she can understand others.. the one in stripes shirt is HELENA. she reminds me to my aunt, who is quiet, and very soft spoken. She's 32 yrs old. she looks fine, but im not sure what sort of disability she's having. ANDREW, is another special guy, with physical disability. His movement is slow, and is having problem with his sight. At the moment i captured this clip, he was upstairs with Alex, doing some business in the toilet.. ;P
Being with them, made me be MORE thankful to GOD's creation, and be grateful with what HE has given me.. i am better than these special people.. Somehow,i do RESPECT them.. despite of their disability, they still have the courage to keep on living.. they are just as normal as other people..they are still happy with their circle of friends.. it is a miracle..how the numb can communicate to the talkative, and the deft can understand to the conversation.. ALLAH is GREAT..Subhanallah..

that day was 23rd of April 2008. I've joined Lauren and Alex from the Student Action society. Each week, on wednesday, is a "day out" for these 5 special persons.. and on that day, was the day for RItA's party. We've started to pick them up at 6pm, starting with Andrew, Helena, Rita, Sue and John, then straight to Lauren's house.We've begun the party, with decorating the ginger man with some colorful icing..then, we had some snacks and drinks.. continued with the music game, and passing the secret gifts thru the circle.. cake cutting ceremony was next. rita blew the candles and made her secret wish.. =D we heated up the day with some dance.. and chair game.. helena won the game! then, it was almost 8.30pm, when the party ended. it was time to send them home. on the way back, i was the 1st that been dropped. they sent me to the main road near my house.. looking them leaving me home, touched my heart.. i had a new experience again that day.. i've learnt to appreciate, to be generous, emphaty and to accept people for who they are.. i hope, that GOD will forgive me, for the bad thoughts that i've had on the unfortunate people previously... i went home, SATISFIED.

Making Childhood Better ^

2008-05-03T19:56:00.007+01:00

This was my 1st official involvement in social work since i've been here. The aim of the day, was to collect at least 3000pounds of donation for the Children's Society. The event was a collaboration between the MANCHESTER UNITED FOUNDATION and the Children's Society. The event was held on the 12th of April 2008!! It was the Match Day between MAN UNITED vs Arsenal.. which resulted to the WINNING of MAN UTD against Arsenal.. GLORY..GLORY..MAN UTD!! The charity colletion was done at the OLD TRAFFORD stadium..
There were around 20people of Volunteers to work on the donation collection. Each of us, was given a bucket, and our task was to walk around the stadium, and ask for the donation from those people that came for the football match..Yet, we've got a FREE T-SHirt to put on!! Yeay! hehe..
My duty started around 12.00pm and ended at 4.00pm.. that was when all the people had went in to the the stadium.. just after the kick-off time.. I was SOOOO interested to join this, since the venue was at the OLD TRAFFORD Stadium+on the MATch Day! since i'm in Manchester, this is my 4th time to the stadium, BUT the 1st time on the match day.. the atmosphere was REALLY HAPPENING!! the place was crowded with all the Die Hard FANS of both Teams.. i was extremely happy on that day..what are the things that i've learnt from this 1st new experience??
well, it taught me to care about others.. towards "making Childhood Better".. sooner or later, i will have my own kids..and i want them to have a good life, with love and education..somehow, there are kids out there who are unlucky..i can't afford to give them money, to make their life better..so i gave them my time and effort , to seek for funding from other generous human being..Secondly, i had challenged myself to avoid my shyness and being down to earth, yet i've learnt to cope with REjections..when i was carrying my bucket, i kept saying ," would u like to spare some change, sir/mdm?".."donation for the children's society, please?"..it was hard tho..some people just walked away from me..or just say "No"..at first, it was a bit frustrating.. but then, i realized, that was the best thing.. it motivates me to keep on doing my job..i kept on smiling to people..even if they had refused to donate, i still said "thank you"..at least they were just being true..they said "no", since they were not sincere to donate..Somehow, i do respect those generous people..we managed to collect 4000pounds at the end of the day.. it is MORE than what we've expected..and i managed to meet new friends.. and one of them is a Malaysian guy, studying medicine at my university.. MALAYSIA BOLEH..!! hehe.. it is really hard to explain the thrill of this experience in words..it was just awesome.. yet, i was the only one who is a Muslim and wearing 'tudung'..a bit weird..some people did had a strange look at me.. but then, there were many people who just dont care what do u look like.. we are all human.. =) so, "apa nak takut?"hehe..
I met few Malaysians, who came to the match..so when they saw me, they donated..that guy was saying ,"haa..sbb i tau U Malaysian lah i donate"..hehe..and i got some motivation words from a "pakcik" from our EX-malaysian.. a Singaporean Uncle...he said, "waaa..bagus lah.. nanti balik Malaysia pon, U kerja baik-baik tau..Tolong org malaysia juga"..I believe so, Uncle..I hope that my effort wont stop here..let this be the beginning for me in helping others..in performing my responsibility towards the society...i went home ..Happy..

What a Wonderful Experiences =D

2008-04-24T00:54:00.004+01:00

Its been a long time I haven't post any updates to this blog ..I was not that busy tho. I was just LAZY.. *sigh*.. I AM SORRY for that.. Sometimes, I wonder..why is it so hard for me to be disciplined..and committed to what I am doing.. anybody can advise me on that?? Well, lets get to the story.. During the Easter holidays, I went for an amazing Europe Trip. I went to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Vole dam, Brugge , Brussels, Paris and London. Those places are wonderful..Each is with their own Uniqueness. It was a splendid journey.. Among all, I prefer being in FRANCE. It was not because of the glamour+ high reputation of PARIS, but it is because the Challenges that I faced when I was there..

Why was it so?? 1^st it was the LANGUAGE barrier. That nite, me and few friends were sent to the F1 Hotel. We arrived late, after the reception was closed. No one was at the entrance door. W e waited for like 5minutes, and yet I discovered this "Help" button with speaker attached. I pressed it on, and luckily someone was speaking thru the speaker. Unfortunately, he was speaking French!! I was a bit blur + sleepy, and I asked him "Can U speak English??" and he replied, "No!NO English!!" . We were stunned. But somehow, that was what we've expected. Why do they really HATE English?? Or they are just be Extremely Loyal and Proud of their Mother toungue ?? I don't know. So, I continued talking to him. It was a "Cat & Dog" talk.. I speak Bahasa Melayu, and he replied in French.. I was great. At Last, we managed to check in peacefully to our hotel..Hurray!!! the next morning, I would like to ask about how to make outbound calls..so what I did was to ask him in Bahasa Melayu..and brought a French Dictionary with me..yet, we managed to sort it out. We've communicated Successfully.. he told me, in order to make the call, need to have a Phone card, which can be purchased at the magazines' shop.. *sigh*.. 2^nd thing that made me Fell in Love with FRANCE, is PARIS. Its Awesome!! My journey was 9days long.. love all the places.. It's hard to spell it out in words, but lucky, I got lotsa pictures to memorize them. So, where are my next destinations??* will update about this later*

To you people, sedikit nasihat utk dikongsi bersame from things that happened during these time period:

Bile nak kuar umah SenTiasalah Bace doa..Moga dipermudahkan Perjalanan dan diberkati..tambah2 nak pi jawab exam..Call ler PareNts kat Umah..Semoga hati tenang, dgr Suare mak/ Ayah yg Sentiasa Doakan Kita..yet menaruh hArapan Utk kejaYaan KitA..
Be Confident, but NOT OVER Confident..bukan ape, in doing things, kene juga ada rase was2..so that we'll be more berhati-hati..berjaga-jaga in apa yg kita lakukan..bace soalan exam betul-betul..
Make a decison WiseLy..nak Pilih ModuLes pon kene buat banyak perhitungan..tepuk dada tanya selera..kalau MaLas Jawab Exam, Tapi Rajin Wat Keje SeKolah, amik modules yg ader CourSework jer..kalAu tak Byk Mase NaK wat keje SekoLah, Bersiap Sedia Lah naK jaWab Exam, Hujung Semester nanti..hehe

13 Days of the New Year 2008

2008-01-13T16:44:00.001Z

Assalamualaikum everyone!! Really Sorry for the delayed..*sigh*..i still can't get myself to be disciplined to update things in this blog..I believe that i'll posted more soon.. *wink*.. Well, there's not much happened since last 13 days.. But, i do learnt few precious things in that 13days period..

1. I learnt to BELIEVE rather than HOPING.. this was taught by Josiah, a new friend that I've met ONLINE..hahaha..he's my new collegue studying at the same Uni.. That's how Internet helps in creating a new FrieNDship rite?? BELIEVE is BETTER than Hope, since it Comes with the POSITIVE drives to Achieve UR goal, with HIGH Enthusiasm.. while HOPE is more to be moderate in achieving the goal, lack of Excitement and Positivity towards the GoAL.might involves with being PASRAH... so Now, I BELIEVE IN MYSELF MORE..rather than just HOping for MiracLE to Happen.. =)

2. DON'T BE SHY!! Am I shy??? what do you think people?? I'm not sure about this.. at times, i DOn't think that i'm shy..but I do feel really nervous (gedebak..gedebuk jantung ku) when i'm meeting new people..why huh??

3. SAY "HI" to anyone that u want!! does this sounds weird? Macam org gile plak nak say HI kat sesape sajer.. hahah..but BELIEVE ME , it Works!! hehe.. i've tried this on the last day of 2007..heheh..i doesn't mean that we gonna be like "org gila" , try to make friends with strangers..but, just OPEN OURSELF to new faces.. just smile, then if they responded positively to you, try to start a liltle chat with them.. From practicing this step, i've got A New GuyFren from Aberdeen, 2sweet LOCAL Girlfrens ( white bRitish teenagers who helped to snap my photos) and a Chinese Malaysian Lady in Manchester.heheh..

4. BE BRAVE!! Don't hesitate to be aLone.. Spread UR wings, and Do whatever You Want To DO.. :) Sometimes, when we are alone, we got more things to explore, more opportunities to make friends, more exposure to learn new things..But, whatever it is, ALWAYS DOA and Pray to ALLAH for our safety and blessing at all time. =)

I'll be having my EXAMS on this coming 17&25 January..Wish me Luck, Ok!! Till then, until the next post, Take Care, Be Nice, Spread Ur LOve !! XoXo..
