so close.

every Thursday, i'll have class in Lincoln's Inn at 4pm and the nearest tube station is Holborn.

and today, i drag my arse off from my warm and cosy room and make my way to the tube station to head to class.

coincidentally, my flatmate,Nok is heading there too, so we went there together and chatting happily.

class ended at 6pm, and i decided to head to Waterstone bookshop to purchase a textbook and a statute book.

then about 645pm, i walked back to Holborn station.

everything seem fine and nothing seems out of place.

i reached home, and going to the kitchen to cook some dinner and bumped into Nok.

and she asked me whether i see anything happened near Holborn station.

she told me that she saw many people were running away, and was ushered away by the policemen.

there were many police and ambulance there too.

but, i was completely unaware of such things.

i thought maybe there was some strike or riot.

until just now, my another flatmate, Wing...told me and Nok that bombs were found around Holborn station.

and she was stuck in another station for 1 hour plus because the tube service was delayed, but they weren't given any reason at that time.

i look at BBC News, and nothing was reported on this.

however, there were many other forums where the public said that the bomb was either inside or outside Metro Bank, which was located opposite of Holborn Station.

i don't even know how i was feeling.

this is like the 1st time in my life that i'm so close to almost-death-situation.

Nok was near the station about 530pm.

what would happen if i were to be late for class? or i didn't go to the bookshop?

the source of it, until now, remains unidentifiable.

is it terrorist attack?

i'm not sure.

it's impossible for us to avoid using the tube, as that is the only way we travel to class.

and the bus may not necessarily be the safest choice, since last year...7/7, a bus was bombed too.

sigh.

Settling down.

finally, after being here for almost a month, i think i'm starting to settle down.

all the hatred i had for this place, starts to diminish away...

and, of course i manage to make some new friends.

i still can't say i love it here yet. but i won't know what will happen in a few months time.

Annabel and I in Buckingham Palace.

She's my best mate here.I'm glad to have her, as I know I can always count on her.

Ying, Nok & Annabel. Enjoying Korean cuisine!

in Portobello Market.

Zack-who lives in the same hall as me.

A very funny guy.

in Camden Town.

Yuji-a very reliable friend!

Guy - one of the most traditional guy I met!

classes have officially started as well. everyone had made their module selection. there are many readings to do, but so far...i'm quite enjoying it. and i'm quite comfortable into going back to English cases and English legal terms!

: D

one thing i hate about results is the uncertainty of the exact date of release.

it was rumored to be released 3 weeks ago, then 2 weeks ago, and it usually falls on a monday.

so, just imagine, me now being in London, with 7hours difference...i can barely sleep on Sunday night. waiting for my daddy's call!

and finally, my results were released last monday.

well, the good news is...I PASSED!

the bad news is, well...it's not a good passing marks.

it's kind of weird to be in the bottom this time.

i mean, for the last 4 years, not that i want to show off...

but, somehow i manage to stay at least top 10.

and, when my daddy told me my results...

my 1st question was, "are u disappointed?"

i really don't want to disappoint my parents.

but, i think my parents understand the difficulty in passing the CLP.

since the percentage of students passing the exam on their 1st attempt is extremely low.

so, i can start chambering once i'm back in kl!

and, i feel very sad for my coursemates who didn't get through.

especially those that i know always work hard for their studies.

it just shows that our results doesn't reflect our effort.

sigh.

3rd Week.

well, it's already my 3rd week here.

how am i feeling?

i guess, i'm feeling much better than the last 2 weeks.

starting to get used to climbing up the bloody stairs to reach my warm room.

used to my small cosy room.

getting smashed in the tube, especially in the morning.

and also the tremendous amount of walking i need to do.

oh ya, and the horrible rainy weather in London.

but it's still hard for me to fall asleep at most of the times, because it's quite noisy even though it's already 1-2am.

class had started about a week now,

and...i'm quite decided with my taught modules,

there's still some uncertainties with my audit course for dissertation.

i'm not sure whether i'm fit to do a dissertation on feminist legal theory,

nontheless...i'll take it as a whole new challenge and attempt it.

it's just 15,000 words....right?
