After few days, we were getting to familiar the road in Sheffield and very soon, in the second week, we joined a day tour to York. Then, as what I promised myself not to waste any seconds in UK, me, yeeting, sze ling and Brian flied to Dublin, Ireland in the third weekend! We planned and bought the ticket before we depart to UK. That was my 1st self-plan backpack trip in overseas and it was nice and success without any incident happens. ^^

August 2010:
August, is a another packed and tough month for me! Again, we have another overseas trip to Barcelona in the third week of August.

Why I said it was tough month?
It is because our exam is coming soon! It is on the early of September, but I still busy with traveling... lol...I know it is not right as a student, but as what I promised myself, not to waste any seconds in UK. So, I was just play hard and study hard! :) Anyway, I'm willing to scarified my sleeping time to study instead of scarified my travel time! hehe... Lucky and thanks god I pass my exam and finally got my degree.

I did really study hard at the night time and the time I didn't go out for travel. :)
Not to forget, we have a seafood dinner organize by Apple before our course ended.
