Hey yah...just have some questions to ask. I got offer to do my master from 3 unis which are UWE, Westminster and Birmingham City Uni. Just kinda headache to choose one of them. I know they are not top class uni but don't really have a choice as there are not many uni that offer postgraduate programmes with January intake. Btw I applied for MSc/MA International Business and Management.

damn why didn't i feel the earthquake?? my friend was telling me and i didn't believe it...aww come on...

hey...does anyone know how to check the location of the exchange centre for internet of a city?? moving into a new place soon and deciding which broadband to apply...might pick bt so want to know the distance of my area and the exchange centre..

thanks yeah..

birmingham... gonna move out from campus in June...cant wait to leave...mat salleh driving me crazy..

lol dont compare yourself with them...you can on the heater if you feel cold..not sure whether it works during spring...even it's spring but it was kinda cold last week and the wind is awful...or you can get yourself a heater if you can't take the cold during winter..i bought one for about 8 pounds..it works as a fan as well when i'm feeling hot...

not sure about the heater thing but i think blanket is not very expensive...can try to get from those big supermarket like tesco..when i first came it was winter and i couldnt sleep at night..was spending whole night shivering even i on the heater to max...just have to get used to it... welcome to uk..

hmmm...fire alarm went off again last night...2nd time this week and 3rd time in this 2 weeks...firemen got pissed and i heard they gonna fine those people...i heard it's 800 pounds person...is it true?? serve them right...

hmmm...just wondering..if i take the virgin broadband+phone package..do i still need a bt line for the virgin phone?? because i found that only broadband is more expensive compare to broadband+phone...weird deal for me but can't seem to find any trap...

wanted bt but since we're renting the house and not sure about transfering the line n stuff so decided to go for cable...

thanks man...

then the virgin 20mb deal is still much cheaper compare to bt 8mb...

I sent packages back to M'sia using Royal Mail with Airmail International Signed For...around 5+ pounds..it will require the recipient's signature so i think it is quite reliable..reached M'sia after 5 working days..sent twice and no problem for me...i think can get it from any post office... not sure about Sheffield though..but should be the same i guess..

okay...just need some opinions...received a call from virgin just now saying that they saw my application on the broadband(i didn't finish the application because i was just testing to apply) and asked me whether i am still interested. i told him i gonna apply online and he told me he can do it via the phone as it takes longer to proceed online...then he gave me a 0780xx number and asked me to call him back after i confirm...

sounds a bit fishy because he gave me a mobile phone number and he called me with a 011 number...i am not sure whether i should trust him by giving him my dedit card details...although he could specifically call out my name and my location...could it be the employee from virgin stole the customer details and trying to con them?

woah!! serious?? damn the guy told me he can give me 20 pounds off the installation charge..means he trying to keep the remaining 30...

how does it work?? hey if it works then why not??

i'm in birmingham and if you told me earlier you can put your stuff in my house...if there's not a lot of them...

in deep sh*t...after moved into my new house i found that the carpet in my room had very bad odour, stains and toe nails stuck in it. we only viewed the house twice and each time less than 5 mins...and she promised to wash the carpet before we signed the contract...so i complained to the agent and then the landlady came to have a look. she offered to get something to cover the stains but i think the odour was from pets(either pee or poo...all over the room)...is damn obvious putting something on top wont remove the smell...i tried odour removal but the smell wont go...so i asked whether it is possible to change the carpet and i dont mind paying part of it...she agreed and asked for 50:50...so in few days she came to measure, got someone to ripped off the old carpet and i did ask her to let me know the price before changing it...so someone came n fitted in the new carpet last week and i was waiting for her to give me the receipt...not til just now, she knocked at my door and gave me a receipt of 160 pounds and ask me to pay for the full amount...told her i cant afford and she didnt let me know the price b4 changing it...then she started saying she wasted her time, spent money to ripped off the carpet, and some other costs..we argued a bit and she got pissed off..started scolding people then left...

i really dont want to argue with her and i got pissed when she asked me to pay for the whole thing...i am not saying that i wont pay but is unreasonable to ask me to pay for the whole thing...she did agree to pay half and on the phone she did say she gonna pay for the fitting and now she just throw the receipt to me and ask for the whole thing....she said she gonna rip off the carpet if i dont pay(honestly i dont mind if i dont have to pay and from her attitude we can tell there is no way we gonna get our deposit back)...

i know it's my own fault for not checking the house properly in the first place and i know am not in a good position and might end up paying for the whole thing..just wondering whether there is any chance for me to pay less??

the landlady came to pass the receipt to me and asked me to pay for it. argued with her but she started saying she paid someone to ripped off the carpet, cost her money to dispose the old carpet, paid extra for them to fix it earlier bla bla bla......

gonna go to student union to ask for opinions...and show them the contract to see whether there is anything we can do...

water bill not covered by landlord??

my bro is in bath...damn nice city...

2am flight on 16th sept?? i'm taking that but it's kl-dubai-birmingham...
