The month of April was do or die.
Yes sure, April started off with a two week Easter break - which I was pretty sure He almost didn't want me to go anywhere. But that's another story.
My first few days in April was filled with baju formal shopping. Twas raining and cold! But I came back a happy girl with pretty stuff heeee. Then the two days after that was spent on attending interview sessions for the UKEC career fair at UCL grounds in London. I was a little late sebab I sesat-ed! One of the students yang was part of the urusing team told me to go to another building when in fact it was in a whole other building. Luckily I wasn't totally late and was not the latest.
The interview process was really interesting and definitely nerve-wrecking. Definitely. On the second day of the interview at Hyatt Regency in London, I treated myself with Primark. Of course la kan. A trip to London is never complete without going into Primark whether or not you buy things.
Next agenda during Easter Break was a short holiday with Cammie dearest.
We wanted to go out of the country, angan-angan Germany la. Greece la. That didn't go well.
Decided Paris. Disneyland! Also, didn't go well.
Wanted to go Harry Potter studios at Watford. Tickets were sold out till May.
Wanted to go to Stonehenge. No.
Wanted to do a theme park trip. Legoland-Thorpe Park-Alton Towers.
Ended up with only going to Alton Towers.
See why I say God didn't want me to go anywhere?
Anyway,
Spring was supposed to look like this:
We've had that for like. One week. Which was towards the end of March. Since then weather really has been gloomy and wet. Like this...

And it was even snowing+raining at one point of time!
England weather, why you fail me.
That certainly didn't stop Cammie, KiKi and me from going to Alton!
We stayed over at KiKi's for the night, asked KiKi all sorts of questions about tulangs and muscles and I got so fascinated by the Physiotherapy handbook!
Then, Cammie came over to Hatfield! And then the next day she balik and then it was work from then on for me.
The next two weeks proved to be terribly taxing. Between April 16th till April 29th, I had six assignments to complete. With my final project out of the way, the next biggest obstacle was to complete the Mass Comms Promotional website for UH. That one was my final assignment to submit, which was on a Sunday, April 29th.
The rainy weather was a friend and foe. It prevented me from going out to get food, but it also made me really sleepy which was such a challenge. Kesian, tidur tidak menentu bah during those two weeks. I just kept telling myself that it was the two final weeks of my life as an undergraduate.
It only hit me a few days ago, that it is really over. I am done with my degree. After almost 21 years of education, I am done with my degree.
Now that it's my month of May, all I've done was sleep, eat, watch TV, and pack. I am excited for Mum to come! Which is in 11 days!
Next step?
I don't know. A steady job for a few years. Then a Masters probably? Tingu lah. As Mummy would say,
"Kalau masa dan duit mengizinkan, insya-Allah, buli baituuu"
I've already have a list of things I want to eat once I get back. Leaving UK will be bittersweet, but there is
absolutely nothing like home sweet home.

Rambut sudah panjang. Balik nanti mesti mau trim!
