Imperial College London

Greetings and salutations my fellow PM3ians! Sorry for this super late post and the lack of updates as I have too much work during term time! At least now the samurai will stop pestering me to update the blog.

After an arduous and tiring 8 and a half months, first year in uni is finally over. Honestly, despite the workload and coursework etc. first year was actually pretty fun.



A signboard on the entrance of exhibtion road



This is the entrance to Queen's Tower
Access is restricted and the tower is open at certain times of the year only cause they said the structure is not stable anymore. But I heard people say that they closed it cause too many people commit suicide by jumping of the tower.

Queen's Tower, located right in the heart of South Kensington Campus.


This is the main adminstration building. According to a certain source, they said it looks like a Rubik's Cube.

Statue of the Queen. The only statue like thing in the whole campus.

The Exhibition Road Entrance to Imperial College.


Mata London. I got a free ride up there as it was part of my coursework to study the structure, supports etc.

The Palace of Westminster. Taken from atop the London Eye.

The River Thames. The boat cruise is quite nice actually.

Chinese New Year Eve party organised by the first year Malaysian. No chinese new year celebration at home for us for the next 3 years. Damn sad.


It is kinda cool cause it snowed the heaviest for the first time in 18 years in London.

It snowed like 8 inches! This is the street outside my hall.


People playing snow in Queens Lawn. We got the day off cause the transportation system in London collapsed. lol.

View from outside my window. Snow is awesome.


They have live dinosaurs in London.




View inside the Natural History Museum. Epic


This is what every Malaysian fresher in Imperial dedicates their free time to: Malaysian Night.
