Iconoclastic and Irrationalism
J'adore Manchester!
Pourquoi?
Well,lets start with
The University of Manchester
I love being part of a big university with many different departments!
My french lessons are always in the language,literature,religion studies building
And I always like to spend time reading the different modules offered to these courses
Modules like "Monsters,Madness, and Mayhem", "Creative Writing" and "Medieval Studies"
They even have a Medieval Society which I was seriously thinking of joining
Another thing I was thinking of joining was the FREE introduction to Catalan classes every Wed night
But then I thought it would clash with my french
Today, I had my Stats tutorial in the Martin Harris Center for Music and Drama
I love that department!
They have loads of great modules as well as seminars and awesome recitals
Im thinking of going for this workshop where u can either sit as an audience or actually come on stage an act!
Lots of creative juices flowing :)
The Manchester Business School on the other hand
The ppl there are a bit standoffish which everyone says is because they think their so superior based on the ranking
The lecturers are nice enough but the ppl at the reception could learn to be more friendly
On the other hand, the people at the Social Science Department is tres sympathique!
Another amazing thing,
is the Manchester Museum under the university
I've been in once and and its unbelievable
They even have mummies,dinosaurs and preserved animals in there!
And a thing i plan to do is,
to pack some food and eat at the museum's indoor picnic area :)
And i love the old gothic architecture of some of the old buildings around the uni
Though i'll be honest,
I dont quite like classes in these old buildings
Moving along,
the city center is pretty amazing
Its a shopping haven
You have all your high street brands under one roof
A cinema close by, several theatres,loads of clubs and various restaurants
On Saturdays, you have the Arndale fresh market and fashion market!
Plus Oldham Street has all these vintage secondhand shops for clothes and other goodies!
They even have an anime cum gamers store where u can buy manga,anime dvd and collectibles!
And did I mention the Manchester Art Gallery?
Or the huuuuuuuuge library and town hall?
Plus on Oldham Road i found this massive chinese grocery shop!!!
And they have everything from Malaysia
[ I found out yesterday whilst walking to Royal Mail]
so I bought chopsticks,chilli fried fish balls, so'on, lotus paste pau,dried bean curd
Red bean,Onde-Onde!!
i have this sudden craving for Asian food i shall explain later
They even have a small section selling Oriental Arts
From DVDs to decorations!
I know its nearly two years late,
but i love manchester! :)
Moving along,
I have been watching a lot of anime lately
And live-action dramas
So im currently loving everything japanese
And have decided once im fluent in French [cheh]
Im gonna take up Japanese :))))
Ooooh and another thing,
CHAIR DANCING IS WICKED!!!
We've just finished our routine to Britney's Womanizer
And are know doing Beyonce's Single Ladies
The dance moves are taken straight out of the vid clip
Can u imagine ???? :))))
And i just bought a book on Dada and Surrealism
I felt like reading a bit in depth knowledge on the topics
Not because im wierd like Darren puts it ;p
So thats a little update in the life of moi
Now i gotta go clean the apartment
Pak Long and family [minus tina and ozeir] arriving tomorrow
So gotta make sure everything is in tiptop shape
Imagine a character in one of those animes
Cleaning at top speed
[if uve watched anime ull understand the comical picture im trying to present here:)]
So cant talk,must clean :)
Ciao Ciao!!!
