17 more hours before I become officially unemployed

Yes only 17 more hours before I walk down the lane and collect my degree. After 4 years of studying for my engineering degree, I can finally look back at my university years and sigh a heavy breath of relief. No more exams but then again no more time to relax until I find a job. So far no luck at the job front yet but will be trying super hard to try to get an interview in the Klang Valley area or KL area. Anyway tomorrow is going to be an extremely hectic day for me, collecting my robe, going for the photography session, departmental buffet and finally graduation. I just can't wait. Will arrive soon in Malaysia on Sunday. See you soon!

Bayswater for Duck anyone?

Finally another chance for me to get online and check my emails and read some stuff on the net. Well the fact that the tour has finally ended (actually on Thursday to be exact), I am not spending some time in London before heading towards Sheffield tomorrow. Can't wait to get back to Malaysia though.
 
Managed to watch Phantom of the Opera just now with my parents. "Quite nice actually" was exactly what I said after the show although I didn't join the majority of the crowd who gave the actors and actresses a standing ovation. None the less it was very good but still to me I did prefer Lion King due to its unique costume designs and how the play was organised. Well thats enough being a so called theatre critic.
 
Five more days till graduation and I can't wait for the Premiership season to start. Really am looking forward to see how well Liverpool will perform this season under the management of Rafael Benitez. A cup this season would be something to look forward to.

Amsterdam and running around

Ok I spent like 4 hours just wandering around aimlessly in Amsterdam and no I will not smoke weed and no I am not in search of any hookers. Back then again, the city was packed and stores were having their summer sales. Not too shabby Amsterdam. Although there wasn't anything much to do there honestly, especially for a broke and unemployed engineer haha. Ok I admit having followed the tour group into the red light district but believe you me, I wasn't having that much fun. Anyway its getting late and I have a 6am morning call. Tomorrow its onwards to Belgium and then France and finally the United Kingdom.

Apologies

Sigh the lack of updates on my Blog can mean only one thing. No internet connection back home and also here. Well just to give a brief update, I am travelling through Europe right now. Just arrived here in Amsterdam from Germany and before Germany I was in Switzerland. Anyway this hotel where I am staying is quite nice which provides free internet service so yes I have updated my blog. Well I am hoping to get Streamyx when I get back to Malaysia but until 2 weeks from now will I touch down on Malaysian soil. Can't wait to graduate though, whoopee!

Going on tour with Malaysia's tour company is pretty taxing. I mean most of the time we are on the bus moving from one country to another, next thing is that most of the hotels are at the outskirts. Don't get me wrong, this hotel I am staying in seems to be the grandest of them all. All of which are 4 stars but this one is absolutely the best so far. I mean with all the facilities and that the hotel is huge, what more can a tourist want. Except free stuff. Anyway logging off now, internet here may be free but there is a line waiting behind me already.
