Autumn in Lancaster.

Autumn in Lancaster. October in Lancaster... tremendously different than I had before back 2002 to 2005 in Birmingham.

Fuhhhhh penat tak habis lagi! Frezingggggg cold Lancaster. Crazy strong wind. The freshness of summer will end but HEY HEY HEY beautiful yellow and orange trees! Alhamdullilah, thank you Allah for the greatest opportunities given for this year - self motivate to get my PhD! Well, life in Lancaster seems like the perfect English autumnal days, here and there a yellow leaf and the sun...warm enough for spring.

After staying in Birmingham for 4 days at uncle's house, we toured Birmingham city, had a greatest double cheese burger and a massive portion of Arabic cuisine, and finally we arrived in Lancaster by train last Saturday. I miss Birmingham so much. Been there, lived there for 4 years but still...Hahaha tak ingat jalan langsung! Yelah, masa tu zaman azroy - zaman teenager, school and college life. MANAAA NAK INGAT KAN! And not to forget, cheese and onion pasty! Whoahhh whoever yang pernah datang UK or yang akan datang UK, please try Greggs. Their cheese and onion's pasty is the best! Nicely baked-cheesy-super delicious!

And the next day, I met my supervisor. A perfect kind-hearted supervisor, Dr David James.. owh I am sure he will be my emotional supporter for the whole 3 years here in Lancaster. The relationship between supervisor is one of the most important determinants in the success of a PhD. If supervisor don't grow on trees, well there is not one place for you to look. 

Actually I was so nervous on my first day. It was chaos a little bit but Alhamdullilah I can managed myself to register and attending few meet & greet's sessions at my faculty department LICA (Lancaster Institute of Contemporary Art) and also an introduction session for Research Training Programme for PhD graduates here by the Lancaster University's training staffs. For the first month my schedules will pack as hell but yeahhh..it is part of learning process so I will go through it with an open heart! And the  British accent - so Harry Potter me. Phew! hehehe

And October, Hellooooooooo! My birthday month and October will give me a party! Magnificent autumn 2014 ever! I cannot endure to waste anything so precious by staying in the house, so I've spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air. Here, pictures of beautiful Lancaster town and Lancaster University. Sejuk tapi gigih juga nak jalan. Nampak je sunny and warm tapi alahai, terasa angin sejuk juga sampai ke tulang!

Greggs! If datang UK, please do have a self try their cheese and onion pasty because its totally awesomelicious! But beware of their hotness ok, not hotness sexy, tapi jangan bagi lidah melecur....hehehehe

Safely arrived in Lancaster... rest and preparing for the next day's adventure..hehe.

The leaves are slowly turned into vivid colours of yellow and then red orangey, slowly turned into brown before leaves finally drift off trees. Later, I will upload more pictures of leaves starting to fall ok!

This is one of beautiful building in stunning countryside of Lancaster. You will be amazed with the view from completely different perspective.
