bercakap tah ku ni

mann, im so tired after the 3 hours of metamorphism this afternoon..it was 4 hours altogether if i include an hour lecture on 11-12pm..had a practical assessment tadi 1 hour..and what's bad i didnt know how to interpret the rock history.all i could think of is the reaction rim, indication of disequilibrium state! im really bad at practical..i always believe so =p ever since dari high school pasanku X)

anyways, lain rasaku yoh~bukan apa..i feel macam ada seseorang semakin obsessed dengan diriku ini...waseh =) melayu standard sikit..bukan plg apa..i answered her call lagi..kali rupanya ia telefon lagi after aku tidur..entah brapa miscalls i received i forgot X|

aku okay plg..but then aku rasa pelik at times cuz aku mula rasa as if i have a wife sudah..macam beristeri as in married padahal here i am~masih lagi dapan laptop waiting for tomorrow to come...ke leeds jua isuk..dapat chill grill ni mate~sementara stress bakas tadi..and what's not good is that i didnt manage to revise apa-apa tonight =.=" mannnnn....slacking off AGAIN!

sila lah tampar diriku ini wahai reader ku*slap~harder!*SLAP...ouch =p just for fun sana...takut saya biskita bosan membaca post-post saya yang serious saja =) anyways esok another tiring day kamu...its gonna be a 6-hours practical..getting ourselves stuffed up with juicy bits of pieces of mapping!

then aku ke leeds after that on 6.30pm depart...so basically i have 1.5hours break lah tu and to go to the coach station.

unusual

I rather be 'rojak' tonight..just finished watching "ku milikmu" episode 16..its a sweet drama on TV3, i usually go a bit "active" everytime i watch it. And im feeling my current lovelife is similar to that drama...its alright though..its just feel weird ;) anyways thats not the point of my post tonight...

I know i shouldnt say this but im feeling that im the one who's acting bad this time. She, on the other hand is actually being my guinea pig which is kinda sad actually. But i cant help it thinking that way about hal the both of us..okay i feel weird "both of us" see i am not ready for this kind of thing...ego? yeah perhaps =)

miscalls, text messages on the phone, msn...those are what i will receive almost everyday...yet, since semester reopens, i seldom have the time to reply...let alone spend some time. We talked over the phone(she called me) but just for few minutes...and i was feeling like a jerk...yes i was doing some work...but then that was not a good reason to act cold to a girl who never did anything bad to you...mannn~excuses....so yeah, i always feel guilty..i dont know why..its just i feel pity towards her. And i dont know why its hard for me to act "macam biasa" maybe its because between kami dua..we cant interact the way "friends" usually interact..i can feel that we just jumped straight in to the thing beyond friends. enough said. im going to bed =)

Ianya datang tanpa diundang

Something happened today, i was planning to tell my jie jie about this in facebook but i guess jie jie will read my blog in a few days time perhaps X)

Now I understand why they say "Cinta datang tanpa diundang" and its true..i never expected something like this would happen to my lovelife in such a short period of time. Enough said. I prefer to be simple saja ah.

A girl confessed her feelings to me. I did sense something different tadi..but i prefer to be 'not perasan' in this kind of thing. But I have problems of my own too. I still find it hard to trust or believe her. Entah kenapa. I mean, is it possible for a person to 'harvest' some feelings by means of internet and phone only, without any physical contacts or whatsoever?

I know things macam ini happened and happening...but im sorry to say that i am skeptical about it. I dont know since when do i start to payah kan believe people. And i think, when it comes to being in a relationship once more..im just not ready for it for the time being.

yes, I do have the so-called feelings..but i dont think i feel the same way as that person feels. The thought of having another thing to think about in your life is really macam make me think twice lah. I sympathize that person, but then that person said pasal the most important is keikhlasan and not keterpaksaan...since i told that person that we can be in a relationship, but i dont promise i'll make a good partner.

If i were to propose tadi, i would just end up hurting that person's feelings instead..and i know myself very well...conclusion, we're still friends =)

A quick one

okay, i have to make this a quick one. She finally online! and she text me up just now..i was facebooking and i felt so happy to know that she text me..but im also wondering why would i feel happy...does it mean something? or perhaps i was just waiting for someone to text me up in msn just to know that some people care for me¬mannn....im so puzzled...I can be ego at things like this...i can be denial and stubborn at times, running away from the truth, hiding my face away so that i wont face my true feelings..

but what was that "happy" about?

My trusted & beloved friends, please do leave some comments in this post..especially iznan, Hajah and Naida, i know the three of you will read my blog at times =) c'mon azree mau kamu leave comments yea =)

Misunderstood

I know I will be embarrassed after a few days I post this.

I met a girl claiming that she got my msn from a friend of mine..peculiar enough, I dont trust her..well..maybe Im starting to trust her partially...we chatted over MSN but not all the time though since i was busy with lectures and assignments so I couldnt attend to her messages that often. Plus, I was so cold, its my nature though, i tend to be cold to strangers =s my bad actually.

She asked for my O2 line and i gave it to her..i know, Im so 'belabih' right?

then she gave me miscalls, few mms...and at one time, i thought she was trying to call me so i answered and we talked sekejap saja..and me, with my "awkward" voice. Enough said. What's the "awkward" voice you say?

i dont know, i suddenly control my voice over the phone..jangan wah~I dont know why ba~but then i didnt have the intention to flirt with her or so i think...im single and i was turning 20..*any more excuses?

LAME excuses lol Forget about it...

then dari masatu lah..almost everyday I received few miscalls from her..and i was being cruel, i didnt even return once i think..I dont know her phone number plg jua since "unknown" appeared saja..but then, still that's not a good excuse either right?

we talked over the phone during one night when i was at hajah's hall..before i slept that is. And after i returned to Liverpool, received some texts from her in msn...and didnt manage to reply in time. Now im wondering macam kana played saja aku ani..puzzled, i checked our conversation history..then i noticed her ps which i didnt read that time..rupanya she wont be online anymore...im not sure till when plg..i guess she was trying to tell me that kali..

dont get me wrong..i just teringat saja pasal her since we're friends jua kan =)

Its all about my birthday - 11th till 16th April in London

After safely returning to Liverpool after the tideous fieldtrip, i had one day break and the next day(saturday), I went to London. 11th April, 4 more days and there goes my 19 years old...we arrived at Euston around 7pm. Waited for Hajah there with Iznan who arrived few hours before us.

Sampai luar..we saw Hajah..but then Hajah was acting weird..she waved at us and went through to go to the nearest bus stand and i thought she was pulling some pranks on us =p so i told them just go straight to the nearby tube station. But we didnt pulang...kali Hajah returned, rupanya she was serious in using bus and I found out after that the tube rupanya during easter ada service unavailable for few days =p silly me.

So yeah, we used the bus to go to Hajah's hall and i was being panic since Sainsbury's was going to close down at 10pm so we had little time to shop for groceries(and i dont want to be so hungry the next day - cuz Sainsbury's not open on the sunday masatu) so i kept on asking hajah if we still have time or not...bukan pulang sengaja hajah =) i think its part of my so-called "panic mechanism"

Sampai hall, putting all the things in their places apa...hajah made us some dinner...noodles ^^ Leevoi ovened the Pizza but something happened which prevented us from able to eat the yummy pizza lol. I think we were talking about various stuffs after munching on Hajah's noodles...including my lovelife things..and certain stuffs which im sad about with some people in my circle. Consequently we slept late =) but I managed to talk with someone over the phone though(bukan aku telefon ah)

the next morning, we accompanied Leevoi to Bruhall to fetch up his things left by his uncle few months ago if im not mistaken..Hajah treated us Ben's cookies that morning and i even was being troublesome to Hajah for making her ask the cashier whether their cookies are suitable for vegetarians or not(im so sensitive when it comes to this stuff) lucky me hajah didnt mind to ask about it for me ^^

almost all of the shops were closed that day..so we just spent the rest of the day in hajah's room. I decided to cook for the dinner that night since I pity hajah macam i felt impolite dahpun she hosted our place of stay..kali masakkan dinner..spells double-troublesome!

let say my kentang aneka rasa didnt turn out as i expected =) but thankfully it was still edible...but ada rasa burn sikit due to the base got burnt lol =p but we were still okay by the next morning though =)

Next morning~13th April - London Zoo

13th April two days more to go for me to turn 20 years old...our destination that day was London Zoo, each of us was asked to suggest a place to visit..so I voted for London Zoo and a dream came true it was!

I get to see many animals, insects and some animal shows too..not to mention two strange looking creatures...they have human bodies,but they sure look like they belong to the animal kingdom - why its no other than our lovely couple hajah & Nai who decided to do the face paintings! Hajah with her fox look and Nai with her Northern Light(undefined speicies of animal =p perhaps phytoplankton? =p kidding there)

we managed to see some animal shows too - stinky skunks, vultures, parrots and some other birds including the one that's like to eat the worms given by the zoo staffs that time =p the shows were great...there were many sections which eventually making us so tired hence drained most of our enthusiasm..I decided to stand strong so that the money i spent worth it...and I know Hajah was trying so hard to be enthusiastic deep inside...i accpet the fact that we were tired but i didnt want to regret..hence i decided to push my limits..Naida was feeling so tired that her mood was affected..but soothed out after we returned to Hajah's hall.

anyways, we had lunch at the London Zoo's cafe and it was a bit hard for me..i was planning to buy tuna bougette(wrong spelling?) but checked the ingredients..ada artificial E's so i decided to avoid it..hence i chose vegetarian sandwhich - cheese with lettuce...at least makin vegetarian jua aku kan =p

on the way home from London Zoo, Iznan with his hilarious personality..managed to make me laugh heartfully with his lagu "mana anak kambing mu?"
here his lyric for my "anak kambing"

"mana dia anak kambing kau~
yang suka makan c nai~
*then it goes something something then...*
Hajah terpelicuk!"

it was funny lah esp.the way he sang it...he even sang Azree's anak kambing and used a word that I shouldnt mention here -.-" typical Iznan..makin perverted ia sebatah ani...but hey, that what makes Iznan funny, his pervertness! okay..that sound so erm..Iznan? lol

it was a great day...thanks guys~videos and photos are available to be viewed in facebook yea =)

Have you ever?

I suddenly remember about something...and it's not a good thing at all~have you ever felt the times that you were being rude or obnoxious to a person?

Well, I do perhaps can be rude at people whether I do it on purpose or vice versa but this time, I REALLY feel I am so rude, ignorant, pokoknya jahat lah. I dont know why, perhaps, my instincts are right, what I did was wrong...orang malar contact but in turn what did i do?

yeah what did i do? I didnt balas balik..I even didnt bother to...I did reply though but then sometimes I cant reply banyak-banyak..kasihan orang kan..especially the person always give you miscalls AND you even didnt bother to give that person some miscalls..NOT EVEN one...I AM A BAD guy...its just..i dont know..its really hard to say actually..I dont mean to do all those things..we did talk over the phone few times...but...entah..I do feel quite okay talking with that person over the phone...but I dont know why im doing such bad things to that person...padahal that person doesnt have any wrongdoings to me...i think perhaps its just me...I dont appreciate people surrounding me...im sorry...perhaps i dont appreciate my readers as well? =)

Being Selfish

I was planning on something for Upcoming June and realized that i was making myself to be a selfish person which is not good. I felt so bad, I felt so the "what if" things. Mixture of feelings indeed. Sad, hoping, anxious, wonder all blended to become an undescribeable new thing. But, there's no point for me to think like this. I always believe there always hikmah behind every things that I find sad or things that I wish to turn out to be on my side.

Not only after that, I realized that I am no more than a selfish friend. So I am really sorry. But I believe I am okay now =) all thanks to the quote "ada hikmah di sebaliknya"

for now i will stick to my plan, i wont run away this time and make some lame excuses over something that's not worth of making it into a BIG thing..cuz I believe i will get unexpected wonderful outcomes in the end of the day =)

I must remain optimism.

BruLiv Picnic @ L1


Kak Nurul planned on something during the last two days...PICNIC...venue?
the L1 park which is so green(grassy). The picnic should be around 3pm according to plan, but it got slightly postphoned to an hour later since Ka Nurul was still preparing some stuffs including chickens, plus I think they were using the bus so they still had to walk in order to get to L1's park.

I decided to go off early from my hall since i wanted to get myself a bonuscard from Iceland, I will need it for next term since buying groceries online will be the most preferred method rather than walking to the city just to buy some groceries and carry them back to Kensington, would be troublesome. On my way to the city, i passed by chicken bazooka and noticed Zaim and another person there which i wasnt familiar with~turned out to be sufi from Sheffield, that was surprising...since I didnt know anything about one of my Sheffield mates is coming over to Liverpool...so i canceled the plan to join Zaim and Sufi instead. We were suppose to meet up with the others who played pool in a place yang aku lupa apa namanya...turned out inda jadi, so off the three of us to L1.

Sampai sana, we couldnt see any Bruneians so I decided to go to Tesco Metro to buy some juices for the picnic with Zaim and Sufi accompanying me. Then baru balik semula ke L1.

anyways,it was great...just what i wanted to ease out my travelling side-effects and i think i had somewhat homesickness lingering yesterday..we had some photo sessions as well..not all BruLiv-ians could make it though...still we had enjoyful moments together =D which was wonderful to be honest. I really love such gathering or reunion.i missed out the gathering at Ka Nurul's house on last two saturdays since i was still on a fieldtrip.

I got home around 8.30pm..so akhir kan? lol...i was away from home since 2.30pm-ish..here are some photos that I managed to 'capture' from facebook.








Yang the small boy is Syahmi(Hj.Dani & Ka Nurul's son) the girl Athirah(Ka Nur's 1st daughter)

CREDITS to BruLiv for the pictures.
Thanks to Ka Nurul for the great plan and invitation.

Awkward feelings

I cant describe what im feeling now..but seems like it got ease out a bit..which is good...i think its maybe i got away from my room~away from Liverpool for almost half a month..plus i had so much fun in London spending my last 19-years-old moments with my close mates especially anak atu dari Leeds...thanks for coming mate...I really appreciate it..thanks for the sacrifice..coming to London mainly to celebrate my birthday beside me.im touched...enough about this sentimental part okay =p lol

anyways, i think im feeling somewhat homesick....and i had some flashbacks and some "what-ifs" thoughts..especially the thought if i were in a place where there are many bruneians..which is bad actually..then i suddenly regained my consiousness regarding exam..i have to prioritize certain stuffs over others right..so i have to ignore my homesicko...i am tough by the way(just encouraging myself to be optimistic, hence saying something like that =p)

I even thought of going to Leeds today(saturday)..you know away from Liverpool..but i decided not to..I guess I will just posphone that plan of mine after the exam finshes...I think knowing the fact that exam's just around the corner can sometimes make me feel panic too!

London zoo with my mates

Went to the London zoo with Ram and the others..thanks to ram, we managed to get through the bus-related problems...i was feeling exhausted after all the adorable wildlife visits...it was worth it guys =D sikit saja ku blogging ni nyamu~entah kenapa lol..

anyways, banyak lah tadi..ada macam animal show~verrry interesting indeed! and LOTS of friendly animals too!

amphibians,insects,animals,fishes,corals....banyak lah...actually one day pun na cukup benarnya...cuz there are lots of things to see and observe actually..tadi pun paksa laju-laju cuz time na mengizinkan =)

im going to turn 20 soon!!!

oh no...*looking at the clock!!

im going to turn 20 on 15th April - lain rasaku bah kamuuuu!!!

mannn~i dont know why..the thought of getting married seriously keeps on haunting me each day!!! kahwin kahwin kahwin???!!! is that all what im worrying about right now?

LOL - i really cant explain it!!!

Celebrating my birthday at London

Hi there, Im in Ram's place now, will be staying here till 16th april..we just arrived yesterday..it will be a matter of days before i reach my 20 years old X) man im so nervous the 2x years old just makes me constantly thinking about marriage at times, am i freaked out or something here? lol X) chill bro chill~

anyways, apanah mereka doing right now?

iznan and Ram are sleeping while leevoi's playing his comman & conquer..naida, she's sleeping while listening to her ipod shuffle..berduduk pulang she sleeping tu X)

I wanted to blog about something actually..but looks like I have to postphone it then....its just something related to the things that make me realize some bits of pieces after the fieldtrip!!

and I think im going to cook ourselves some dinner tonight..potato aneka rasa AGAIN! I miss it! Hope it will be a success =)

Day 7(Final) - Amroth

Day 7 - Amroth, our final location for the Pembrokeshire Wales fieldtrip~and the day i got my feedbacks on my assignments that we did in the field over the past few days..i was feeling down actually as the thought of failing this module was haunting me ever since i received my Abereiddy sheet and cross-section of the fold in Abereiddy.

I was fortunate enough since Maggie decided to aid me in making the final sedimentary log which was very tough actually since there were many structures and features like grain sizes, whether they were any change in grain sizes or not, whether they are silt, coarse silt, clay, very fine, fine, medium grained..mann talking about the final day of the fieldtrip.

on top of that, eventhough it was sunny, it was also COLD! and i was shivering mann -.-" even reached the point where my hands were numb so i did find it hard to write and draw in the sedimentary log~we had our lunch there with the cold. Being tired and cold, I had to go through that stressful day X) knowing that our fieldtrip was coming to its end..

I even couldnt hold my bladder anymore so i had to go to the toilet which was a bit far from the locality~upon the wrapping-up session, we were given approximately one and a half hour by the time we get back to our caravan to do some palaeogeographical environment and to tidy up the A3 summary sheet. Our field notebooks were marked already by this day since I saw Jim and Charlotte were marking them while we were doing our sedimentology logs of Amroth. Arriving to our caravan, I had to do some work since time was racing towards us till the time reaching the one and a half hour deadline!

after that, the feelings where you feel as if a large boulder sitting on your back finally being lifted off were engulfing me..how dramatic lol..i was excited..did some packing, dinner and guess what, me and Joyyee watched news@10 on the TV and we found out that there was a terrorist attack in John Moores University's library~we were so surprized indeed but it was okay, there were no casualties if im not mistaken.

The END of our 7 days fieldtrip =D

Day 6 - Angle West Bay

Quite excited on this day since we had one more day to go after Angle west bay!

here, we were given a task to draw a fold profile which i found perplexing at first but turned to be okay after observing the features for some time. Rodgery explained to us about the intersection of axial planar cleavage and the bedding of the interlimb of the fold on the cliff. Hence if im not mistaken the axial planar cleavage cuts the interlimb exactly at half hence from the angle of intersection, we can know about the dipping angle of the other interlimb of the fold although it is absent?(maybe eroded or other tectonic processes making it collapse or something?)

quite interesting with sunny weather, we were lucky i guess. Did some 'complex' mapping bits after our lunch and i failed the mapping -.-" my bad actually. We were told to construct three lines and i just took readings for one line only, by the time i realized it, the tides were coming in and we had to submit our work by that time. How unfortunate X) .

We also an assessment on using our compass-clinometer on measuring strike and dip of planes. I decided to do it with Mimi Hill, it was cold hence i wanted to finish it as soon as possible and i did struggle a bit when i was telling Mimi how to find the dipping direction! mann...i just told her the general direction which was North but it was wrong, it was Nort North East to be precise~mann..im not good at practical bits -.-"

Heard explanations from Charlotte and Rodgery after that which i think realated to how we can know about the environment of the location by looking at the palaeontology and sedimentology. The tides were coming in, good thing we managed to climb up without any problem =)

Day 5 - Freshwater west

It was raining..but Charlotte said we had been so lucky over the past few days, the weather was on our side except fro day 5. It was raining and we had to make a sedimentary log. It was very slippery as well. So we had to put our fieldbook and sedimentary log inside a hard plastic cover which is part of the basic fieldtrip kit that we had to buy from Chris Hunt. It was cold, so i didnt have the mood to do the work that day. Plus, I thought it was just a practice so i just made crap out of it, didnt bother to do some serious bits..as a result i failed my sedimentary log..was worried the next few days after i found out about it which was on day 7..lucky me, the log session in Freshwater west didnt contribute to the module mark -.-"*wiping sweats on my forehead

we finished around 4pm since we had to go to other localities to observe some other features. I really like the trace fossil produced by a lungfish..it was kinda huge compared to the trace fossils that we had in our practicals. It had a similar orientation like skolithos but Charlotte said we cannot name it as skolithos though..quite interesting if you come acros with fossils once a while in the middle of the fieldtrip eyh?

Climbing up the hill to reach the bus was another thing since we were soaked~

day 4 - Marloes

Day 4 at Marloes started with doing some bits of pieces and spending quite some time at the beach with different sedimentary structures including cross-beddings and wave ripple crest marks. Had our lunch there too and there were SO MANY dogs that I told Maggie i am phobia of dogs~so if you were ther or one of the participants you can see me walking away from where i was sitting if there were dogs coming near -.-

I was so blurred with the task we were given since we had to observe the features and make some notes about them, plus we must give each of them a suitable name! we were told that there were at least few features that we can observe and i was clueless, lucky me there were staffs around that were happy to help me ^^ did our strike, dip and an extra bit which was the pitch on some of the planes, this time we had to take on the bedding AND the cleavage planes so I was puzzled in identifying bedding and cleavage planes that day. And after having our lunch, did some stereonets pieces with the data that we had obtained, well i used John Piper's(a lecturer) data instead X)

we also managed to see some red rocks with criss-cross like structures...I think they were resulted from some cracks due to simple stress which filled in by quartz and some tension gahes running through them..quite interesting but quite complicated especially to a first-year like me X)and i didnt tell you how we get to the locality yeah, due to high tides, we had to take an alternative route which involved climbing up again from the beach and climb down another hill where some of the pathways were quite narrow and surrounded by thornish plants X) so we had to be careful..it was kinda steep on our way down but we had to go though all of the bits since there were no other ways to reach that redstones with infillings of quartz and tension gashes!

Day 3 - Abereiddy

Aim: to make a geological map and to construct a cross-section

Locality 1 was the port Eger where we can see some big anticlines, parasitic fold and axial planar cleavage. Interesting bits though and as usual, some drawings to do. We were told that there was a transposition of bedding into cleavage..there were some explanations about it which i forgot X)

had our lunch at the locality 2 which was the beach..quite fancy beach..and some people bringing their dogs..and here, we finally did some stereonets apart from the strike and dip reading from some of the planes.

it was sunny so i think i was starting to be tanned X)

Day 2 - Broadhaven & Fishguard

Day 2 - thinking what awaits us out in the field there~our first stop was broadhaven. It was cloudy though by the time we reached there. And we had a new task which was to draw a profile of the structures. So working there, with some things you have to look out for - barnacles, sea weeds and algae. It was cold as well and guess what, we had to do it quickly since the tides were coming in...and to cut the story short, i didnt manage to finish it since we were asked to 'escape' as soon as possible since the tides were coming in already so we had to be fast if we dont want to be cut off by the tides. I call it "sweet escape"

since the route we had taken already being cut off by the tides, we had to climb through the rocks and on your way down, it was so slippery that one of my colleagues fell down but she's okay though..i think i was almost fell too..

next stop was fishguard and we had our lunch earlier than yesterday at this harbour..fishguard, well it was more tiring than st.David since the interdistances between localities are quite far actually...especially the pillow basalts..we had to climb up and down some hills before we reach them. And we did a basic sedimentary log in one of the localities..surrounded by the ocean, it was great and cold as well. Observed some white rocks on our way up which were dolerite if im not mistaken..by the time we reach the pillow basatls, we had to climb down through the rocks, well i almost decided not to do it..but letting my phobia gets me wont make me good so yeah i made it ^^ pillow basalts were quite interesting though since there were some green layers surrounding them which i though were olivine due to the igneous nature..but Maggie told me they were quartz(metamorphosed perhaps due to the green colour?) produced when sediments got deposited on top of the pillow basalts and then trapped by incoming layers of lava.

it was more tiring compared to day 1~but we learned a lot too. And i did some hikings which i think i wont do if im not forced to X) this fieldtrip contributes to one of our modules which is 'introduction to field geology' so 7 days of fieldtrip - for one module, how cruel is that? joking.

Day 1 - St.David

St.David, a good starter for to-be geologists~it was sunny as well giving me a better impression of fieldtrip...I think there were 6 localities altogether. The sceneries were so pretty =') natural..i love it..the oceans...though i have to admit it was kinda warm that day...and I was adapting to this fieldtrip kind of thing since we had to be in the field around 6 hours so toilet? its totally a bad idea if you wanna do that thing in the middle of the fieldtrip.

anyways, we started off with inspecting this outcrop which consisted of laminations i think..it was greyish rock..there were igneous rocks as well which is the important bits among all in that day. We did some "reconnaissance" hope I spelled it correctly..its basically where students walk around the outcrop to observe important sedimentology features before we do something like drawing or making some notes about them.

And trust me there was lots of hiking involved and there was this locality where my height phobia couldnt withstand it anymore so i decided not to go to the lower part of the outcrop since we were facing the ocean..the view just gave me the creeps..good thing our sedimentology lecturer was an understanding type of person =D

We had lunch on an area where we can see the vast ocean stretched from the left end to the right end of the sky~dramatic jua lol..anyways, some of the staffs saw dolphins and i think some seals as well if im not mistaken but i didnt manage to see them though~my lost.

and yeah, the hiking just wont stop, to reach another locality we had to climb higher where we can see some iron components on the rocks hence giving it rusty-red looking colour!

and last bits are doing some strike and dip measurement using compass-clinometer! which to be honest, i was not sure how to use actually..so i was struggling over some time to finally understand how to take strike and dip of a plane!

so thats it, I learned a lot..it was tiring since to go back to where we were in locality 1, we had to climb down from the hill~a price to pay i guess but on the other hand, we get to see many beautiful natural stuffs!

i think we reached home around 8pm or maybe close to 8pm after shopping at Morrisons.

Back from Wales Baby!

hi my beloved readers, how's it going?
just got home yesterday around 3pm and I am feeling tired..yeah, i looked pale!

plus, i had a bus sick along the trip back to Liverpool~it was unpleasant especially when you have the feeling that you're about to vomitting!

interested to know my story along the trip especially living the 8 nights without internet? well i did use my hp but i only logged in to my msn once =D

stay tune!

it was adventurous, exciting, yet tiring fieldtrip but its worth it..why? i get to be close with nature!! what's more fascinating than that?

and the aftermath of the Pembrokeshire fieldtrip? well~a tanned skin, sunburnt, some few minor cuts and a somewhat itchy infection which seems to ease out a bit already =D

Pembrokeshire fieldtrip 2pm from EOSC building

Hi guys, I guess I will be away from 1st till 9th of April since I will be having my fieldtrip starting tomorrow, i think it will be a tiring one since we were told that we will be in the field from 9am to 6pm inclusive of the walking and a bit of hiking i guess.

We will be going to our caravan via coaches later which will depart from Earth & Ocean sciences building at 2pm later. I've packed up almost everything except from some bits of pieces which I'll probably do it later.

Anyways, my holiday is just going to be postphoned since this fieldtrip contributes to one of my 15 units module which is Introduction to Field Geology and yes, there will be going lots of drawing especially in terms of sedimentology - beddings, grain sizes, depositional processes and various other outcrops..my personal tutor even mentioned that in one or few localities, there are beautiful pillow lavas, so we wont be dealing with sedimentary rocks alone but also igneous and perhaps metamorphic rocks too.

My grandfather will probably having his operation on 4th April, good thing I skyped with him yesterday since its hard for me to do so when Im in Pembrokeshire.
