I've been using City Bike Liverpool whenever I step foot in Liverpool to go to the climbing gym near Bootle for the past 8 months. It is easy to rent and there are a lot of bicycle stations established in most of the spot in the city of Liverpool.
There are two bicycle sharing systems available in Liverpool, one is the green coloured citybike (https://www.citybikeliverpool.co.uk/) by Liverpool City Council and another one is the red coloured Bike&Go (http://www.bikeandgo.co.uk/) which backed by Merseyrail, Greater Anglia and Northern Rail. The one I always use is citybike. Never try Bike&Go so far because citybike is cheaper.
Citybike rent will only cost £3 per day. You can rent it for a day or weekly or apply annual membership. Like any other bicycle sharing system you can take any bicycle of your choice at the station and you can park the bicycle after use at any citybike station. To book you need to register first through their website.
Once you have select option you want and online payment have been made, there will be pin code for you. The pin code is needed to enter at the machine at the station when retrieving the desired bicycle. After that the screen will show the code for bicycle lock for you to lock at place other than citybike station. Make sure to write it down or take a picture of it just like I always do!
The bicycle is properly maintain but sometimes if you are not lucky there will be some problem with it such as the seat, gears, etc. So that's why you need to check first before enter your pin code at the machine.
Bicycle lanes/ cycle way here are certainly provides adequate facilities for the cyclist but cyclist have to share the road with cars and buses, sometimes pedestrians.
This is differ from Manchester, the place I live right now. They are undergoing major road redevelopment to provide road for buses and bicycle.
I know it is unlikely that KL-ites will enjoy cycling under the hot sun and rainy day. One thing can be done is that city hall should provide public bath in strategic locations or have a building regulation which provide bathroom in office buildings for staffs who cycle to work.

My back got hurt when I cut the models for hours. Plus I slept on the table so my neck position was not comfortable.
So to the people who want to take architecture, this course is tiring. Your presentation will only lasts 10 to 20 minutes but the process is really painful. If your partner is in architecture, please understand the nature of the industry. For me I can understand them because I am in the same field as them. But getting hands on with them, it was an experience that I'm amazed.
One more thing, if you wish to further your studies in architecture outside Malaysia and want to go back to work in Malaysia after your studies, you need to keep your portfolios and take exams with Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia because the foreign universities are not accredited by them apart from a few top universities, cant remember which unis. I was briefed during LAM's visit to my University early this year. You can check it out here http://www.lam.gov.my/accreditation/list-of-recognised-programmes. The list may change after period of time. Whoever soon to be graduated in 2018 should be lucky to be able pursue working experience in Malaysia.
OH I CAN'T WAIT TO FLY THIS FRIDAY MORNING!
Ugh my back hurt again!

I made this. Muahahahaha
Since I came back from Liverpool and attended the last day of BIM summer school, I've been procrastinating for the past week. Last Monday, again for a day I went to Liverpool as a 'tour guide' for my classmate with his family. It was fun. Opportunity for me to be a tourist as well. Bought some tourist-y stuff. Since then Football Manager 2016, skateboarding and groceries shopping become my routine.
So I'm supposed to think of a title for my dissertation, starting in two weeks time. I still have little idea what the aim and objectives but for sure I'm gonna think around QS profession. Pretty nervous of this semester's result though. I think I'm gonna be fine but still... Oh, I should get my travel blog done. Two trips in waiting line.
Talk about travel, also in two weeks time..... I'm going for a weekend trip to North of Europe. I'm so excited, yet I have vertigo feeling, but I still want to do it. Hopefully the trip will be safe.
ALSO! Ramadan is coming. I actually tried to fast last Thursday. Sahur before 3am and breaking fast at 9.22pm. It was tough although I did nothing. Will probably need to do something outside of this little room to kill time.
I don't know how many times pimples appear on my lips this past six months... Annoyed.

Currently in Liverpool, already at the end of semester. I'm having fun making a model... A hospital building model scale of 1:100.
I brought my bicycle and skateboard along in the train, for £3. Bought it online. When bought it on train or the station it will cost more. Anyway, it was a pleasant ride, except that the train carriage I rode was not for bicycle, so I have to be at disable person area. They have space there. Thankfully only one person with wheelchair at final one station. It was nice.
Now I'm waiting for Liverpool triumph in Basel tomorrow night. It is said that there will be a celebration in this city so I'm really looking forward to it! If not, well, there's always next time. Being in the final is already a bonus to the team. But no better end than winning it!

Thanks to React, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LxPHYS60MA) I have a new series to watch called 12 Monkeys. Then it only took me about less than a week to finish 13 episodes of season 1. I was trying to watch it slowly but I can't take the curiosity in me.
The story is about a guy named James Cole trying to fix his future (and everyone else's) by going back in past by meeting a doctor named Dr. Kathryn Railly. Their mission is stop the breakout of a virus to all over the world. Obviously this is not an easy feat.
This series is based on 1995 movie called 12 Monkeys starring Brad Pitt which he won as best supporting actor at Golden Globe.
I haven't watch the movie yet but will find the time and mood to watch it.
What I like with this story is time travelling and.. I don't know... Apocalypse? And little bit of mindfuck thing going on.
Well I really need to start writing my assignments. But...
Season 2 is going to start this Monday on SyFy!
Ohhh and Liverpool beaten Dortmund 4-3 at Anfield!!!! 0-2 at half time but eventually made that come back!!! With unlikely scorer - Lovren!

Last Sunday I cycled 50km from Liverpool city centre to Formby National Trust, north of Liverpool. Riding with rented Liverpool City's Council citybike. (Will write more about this bicycle soon)
So basically, here's the one way map I cycled. From Formby National Trust to Liverpool city centre.
It took about 2 hours 30 minutes.
I was amazed with myself. Really.

3 days after the Liverpool vs Rubin Kazan match at Anfield... Went to climb at Awesome Walls Climbing Centre at Athol Street. The best thing was we went there by bicycle! Only £3 per day.
Anyway, this is the second indoor climbing centre I've been to. But for me this is better than Manchester's. Entrance fees for weekend is £8. Since we have basic equipments so we dont need to hire them. For sure, I love their membership card!
Will definitely be here again to finish all the top rope wall.

Just came back from city of Liverpool!
Went there on Thursday afternoon by bus from Manchester Coach station. Only costs me £7 for return tickets. Heavy traffic during that time most probably because of people going back home after work. Reached Liverpool, put my stuff at my friend's and off to Anfield!
Boarded Stagecoach bus number 917 at Queen Square bus stop near St. John Shopping Mall. Paid £2. There is an option to go to Anfield by taxi with same price, but just want to experience by bus full load of Liverpool supporters.
Reached at Anfield after 30 minutes or so. Bought a match day scarf for £10. Quite expensive. Took picture with Nathaniel Clyne's car inside stadium compound. To go inside of Anfield just need to scan the bar code at the entrance. So easy. Excited. We headed to our Anfield Road stand. Bought the ticket from online ticketing for £25.
There was applause everywhere, chanting. And Liverpool Football Club anthem, You'll Never Walk Alone! At 8.05pm the game started.
Mamadou Sakho was brilliant throughout the game. When the goal scored, Anfield erupted. It was a brilliant feeling. Of course when the goal scored against us the Anfield silent for 10 seconds, but then the fans already encourage the team.
Final whistle. 1-1. Disappointing result. But great experience for me to be in Anfield for the first time. To join them supporters by chanting, etc.
Will be coming back to Anfield soon if opportunity comes!

Liverpool - what a weird season. Definitely.
We've won Carling Cup this season, that assured us the place in Europa League for next season.
But disappointed that we lost to Chelsea 2-1 at FA Cup final. Stats showed that whenever we faced Everton in semis, we'll win over them but will lose in the final. It showed last night.
League? We're still wayyyyy behind of Champions League clubs. Honestly, I am missing the Champions League Liverpool spirit. The European night. And I really really hope that we'll get there soon again.
Walk on Reds. Walk on.

During 1-1 draw between LFC v Norwich
My proposal has been accepted on last Friday. Alhamdulillah.
But,
I'm still feeling tense right now. My sleep time has been upside down.
These coming weeks it's going to be another wrong time of heaven sleep.
I don't know what I'm writing right now.
I need to get back to my work.
Next morning is going to submit my report.
Okay now.

With some little 'courage' in the morning of 14th Oct I mentioned on twitter some footballers and public figures to wish me a happy birthday. I got two from them, they are Reem Shahwa, the ESPN host of Football Overload andddddddddddddddd LINDA PIZZUTI of wife of John W Henry, the owner of Liverpool Football Club!
I am so speechless to received notification by gmail that I received a direct message on twitter from Linda Puzzuti. Wohooooo!
Let's beat ManU today LFC! Come on! YNWA!
Ohhh! Not forgetting to those who wished me by text, facebook, and especially twitter. I've got a lot on twitter rather than facebook that's awesome! It's okay I didn't get anything. Honest prayers are enough for me. =DDDDDD

So I went to the Stadium Bukit Jalil on 16th July 2011 with Azri to watch Malaysia XI vs Liverpool FC.
It was fantastic atmosphere. More than 85,000 fans, be it Liverpool, Malaysia and Manyoo fans, flooding the stadium.
We were cheering for both squad. ALL the goals were celebrated by all the supporters in the stadium. Don't read in the media where they said, "LFC fans are not patriotic to not wearing Blue". That's utterly bullshit. Or deaf maybe?
Even you were watching the game from the TV, you can hear 'Malaysia!' chant! After only on the 2nd half you could only hear 'Liiiiverpoooool' chant.
And I don't understand why they said that LFC fans don't support the national team. You are absolutely deaf! Or just because of we are LFC fans?
Medias are favour to one side. Not neutral. They are supposed to be neutral. Unless they want something from someone.

And I give you this.

Me: Bila kita kenal?
Love: Masa darjah 5. I was talking to you and you didn't even respond me.
Me: Really?
Love: YES! You didn't even notice me back then!
Me: Oh *grin*
Yeah Zarifah and I have been in same school since primary, was in same secondary school too. We started to actually TALK in form 5. It was because we were involving in PERMATA school magazine. And we became closer because of same interest in music. Well, almost same interest. She's more advance than I am - Madonna, Michael Jackson, Attack! Attack! etc..
So here we are, happily in this special relationship. =DDDD
I wish to write longer but time constraint. Heh.
I love you Sayang. Be good in Liverpool.

When you walk
Through a storm
Hold your head, up high
And don't be afraid, of the dark
'Coz at the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song
Of the lark
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed
And blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope, in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your hearts
You'll never walk, alone
Liverpool FC has the most amazing supporters, if Europe is not enough, then, in the World.
And I proud to be part of it. Even their "dreams be tossed, And blown", I'll be keep on supporting the club.
Don't worry. We'll bounce back soon.
You'll Never Walk Alone.

Supposedly today, I go back to Subang and attend the MTV World Stage, with my mosh pit pass. But because of work and CIDB talk or lecture or whatever, I can't. Disappointed eh? Hmph. Even If I go back, I have to choose between MTV and my friend's birthday. Such a dilemma.
Yang buat sedih lagi orang duk mintakkk je tiket tu. Sedih. Sedih. Sorry la Azri. Sorry to Ifah too. Yeah, have fun. And sorry to Faiz sebab tak dapat datang birthday BBQ yang for long lama tak buat dekat rumah dia.
Good luck to Liverpool for tomorrow's match against Tottenham Hotspur. I hope Aquilani can give a new depth to Liverpool squad.

28 Reasons why Reds should be proud!
Although we came in second behind ManYoo, we the Kop, should be proud of this season Liverpool performances. This season we are better team than seasons before and in my point of view better team than ManYoo! Because we got lower points than ManYoo, we shouldn't be sad that we didn't win the league title. Remember that we beat Chelsea, ManYoo and Real Madrid? That's something. This season the squad is really, really good. And next season need little bit alteration in the squad then we can really win the league title.
Come on Reds!

- The Reds amassed their highest points total ever in the Premier League (86) beating the 82 set in 2005-06. It is our highest in the league since 1987-88.
- The total of 86 points is more than we needed to clinch 12 of our 18 league titles (all seasons based on three points for a win).
- We won 14 points against the other members of the ‘Big Four’. It was as many points as we had won against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in the previous three seasons put together.
- Liverpool scored 77 league goals this season – our best since 1990-91 when we also scored 77, and finished second in the title race to Arsenal.
- 16 players scored in the league this season – one fewer than the club record set in 1911-12.
- We finished the campaign with a goal difference of +50 - our best for 21 years when we amassed +63 in 1987-88.
- The Reds went through a league campaign at Anfield undefeated for the 10th time in their history and for the first time since 1987-88.
- We extended our unbeaten run of league games at home to 30 – the best run for 28 years and equalled the fourth best sequence in our history.
- We amassed seven more points than when we last won the title in 1989-90 (then it was 79).
- We equalled the club record set in 1904-05 by winning 13 away league games.
- Liverpool amassed 43 away points this season - the most in our history.
- We finished the season averaging 2.26 points per game – the second best ever average in our 94 seasons in the top-flight. The best is 2.33 points in 1978-79 (98 points from 42 games based on 3 pts for a win).
- We scored at least three goals in five successive league games for the first time since 1987.
- And we netted at least three goals in six successive games in all competitions for the first time in the club’s history.
- We only lost two league games this season - our best record since 1987-88 when we also lost twice. That season we drew 12 games but still won the title by nine points from Manchester United.
- We became the first team ever to lose only two games in a season and not go on to win the league. Chelsea in 2007-08, 2006-07 and Nottingham Forest 1978-79 were all runners-up having lost three games.
- Liverpool ended Chelsea's 86-match unbeaten home record with a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
- We recorded the club's first league ‘double’ over Chelsea for 19 years.
- A Yossi Benayoun goal ensured we became only the second English team to win in the Bernabeu.
- And at Anfield we inflicted upon Real Madrid their biggest ever Champions League defeat as we went goal crazy with a 4-0 win.
- Overall we sent Madrid crashing to their heaviest two-legged European defeat in the knockout stages for 20 years.
- We recorded our biggest win at Old Trafford for 72 years. It was also the first time four Liverpool players had scored at United in the same game.
- Rafael Benitez broke Bill Shankly’s record of 65 European matches as Liverpool manager.
- The boss also broke Bob Paisley’s record of 40 European wins.
- Rafa recorded his 100th league win as manager in his 181st game. It was the 3rd quickest ever by a Liverpool manager and 50 games faster than Alex Ferguson.
- Liverpool have lost only six league games in total in the last two seasons. Manchester United have lost nine. Arsenal have also lost nine and Chelsea eight.
- Liverpool finished the season as leading scorers in the Premier League. They scored 77 compared to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, who all scored 68.
- The Reds boast the highest goals per game average of any team in all four divisions in England (1.93 goals per game) and will finish the season as such unless one of the following happens – Manchester United score nine in the Champions League Final or Chelsea score six in the F.A. Cup Final.
