Thanks to the Hallam Union for the information of the event. At first I thought will be a just a normal day where Sheffield United FC a.k.a The Blades will open their stadium gate at Bramall Lane for public.

Since I staying quite near to the stadium I decided to make a visit at noon. When I step out of the hostel there all a lot of people (young to old) walking to the stadium direction with the jersey on.

When I reach the main entrance is like a small carnival going on there. Wow~~~~. I didn't aspect that.

Lady and gentlemen let put your hand together for the"V84 Twitter". (clap, clap, clap~~~~)

I don't know suddenly Twitter (micro-blog) become popular around me. I heard Twitter before this but not a hit. Feel like out of date not playing Twitter application after knew that Darren Bent (footballer) also using Twitter. Even the American President, Barack Obama also using the Twitter for publicity during the 2008 US presidential campaign.

So I also end up with my own Twitter, the V84.


It very handful when I on the move. I can just update with my mobile phone when my laptop not around me.

Anyway for those still not very sure bout Twitter, maybe Wikipedia may help a lot. Click HERE for direct link Wikipedia with the explanation of Twitter.

0 comments

Liverpool trip is a last minutes planned trip and also a very rush trip. We bought the bus tickets a few hours before it depart. In between the few hours I did my laundry and packing. We also late for the bus, lucky the bus also came late. Almost missed the bus. UK transportation always on time. So normally will arrived on time and depart on time although the bus is not pack like a sardine in can (back in Kuala Lumpur, METRO bus not going to depart until the bus is really packed) . So is a 2 days 2 nights trip. We depart from Sheffield 5:15pm, so arrived Liverpool around 7:30pm. Direct bus going to take 2 hours plus (single stop at Manchester).


First Night

Is Friday night so is PARTY TIME~~~~~~~

walkabout
Walkabout. Honestly, Liverpool club/bar/pub are more happening than Sheffield.


First Day

Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet (click name for information os Cheshire Oaks) . UK's largest designer outlet. 145 stores around that huge area. Quite cheap the price tag there IF we don't convert back to Ringgit Malaysia (RM). If you earn pound sterling in UK, you can shop till drop. Summer sales really cheap.

My meaning of Deco is not the Chelsea's football player, Anderson Luis de Souza a.k.a Deco. Not this :-

Hahaha......

The Deco I mean is decoration. Dictionary.com define decoration as 'something used for decorating; adornment; embellishment'.


Guess what I bought for deco.......




Table cover??

Party pack???

Origami paper???

Curtain???

Ya is "England Flag"



Some wander how I going to deco with the flag


Maybe just tigh at the back of me. Like the photo below. Wakakakaka... Just joking....



Back in Malaysia I hang my beloved country flag in my room. So I did the same thing in UK.

Tah dah~~~~~

My new room look


Maybe some say I'm nonsense hanging the flag in my room. But I don't care, I love England. I just assume they all jealous with my room that look different from them. Wakakakaka.....

Time passed so fast, I don't have enough time to understand more about UK. Frankly speak I like UK and wish to stay in UK as long as possible. I love the weather (although is unpredictable), I love the people here (although I met some weird people), I love UK house (the upper room at the roof top, love it!!!), and many other things. Wish I can continue my study (Master) here. At less it give me another one year to know more about UK. Haih~~~~~~~~

TS'09 : Oriental Summer Party
8:34 AM
0 comments

Here come another party in Sheffield, Oriental Summer Party 2009. Basically the party name stated quite clear, "ORIENTAL" so most of the party go-er are oriental (chinese, japanese, korean, and etc). Anyway is an open party and not a close party. There few local also interested in this party. It happened in the most happening and largest club in Sheffield, EMBRACE.(i guess, some say LeadMill the best in Sheffield).

tickets

logo

I would say the party is not that happening. Just a "so so" party. Maybe because of the number of people attend not enough to fill the huge space of the club. They closed the upper level make me more disappointed. Another disappointment is from the songs play in the club. They repeat the song few times and some songs are quite boring for party. The drinks are more expensive than other club or bar.



Anyway just check the club from inside,

around

clock wise : Dancer platform upper floor; bar upper floor; not very sure why they hang this thing, anyway it can control up and down; DJ working place - lightning controlling also set at here.
