An interesting place I've been to

I've lived through my first winter over here in England now and have made it through. What it left me was many good memories, a wedding anniversary, and hikes up and down a mountain where we had picnics in the freezing cold.

From this, I was allowed to experience many things, one of these was skyline. Skyline, Bath, lives true to its name. Standing on top of this hill, you get to see the stunning landscape of the historical city of Bath, deemed as one of the prestigious heritage UNESCO cities in the UK, it offers an experience through time to architecture that is unreplicated today.

This is where I relax and go on walks. Where I have picnics with friends. Where I come to think and engulf myself in the vast expanse of history that is placed before me. I'm always reminded that the city was always here first, and compared to it, I feel small and unimportant, but it's really comfortable. This place is a mood reliever for me, where I had some of my best memories. During winter, I sat here for 2 hours with friends in the freezing cold as we ate our pre-packed dinners. We shared oreos even though the cold bit into our nails and froze our blood. Yet we still reached out and shared food. 

It's interesting to me how spending time here during different seasons alters my mood. How during the rainy Autumn that I arrived, Skyline was brooding and dark grey, it comforted the me that first arrived in England and kept me ready for each event that eventually came my way. During winter, when the cold seeped into our bones and kept us rooted to our homes, every trip out felt like an adventure. Spring, when it came with its hay fever and pollenating flowers that sprung between every sliver of space between grass. Summer, when the heat seared our skin and loosened our layers of clothing. Every season brings a different mood about me, and I travelling here is always a better part of my day. 

Did I mention there were also ducks!?

Self Introduction blog!

 


Malaysia (Merdeka 118)
Hi! My name is Cher-Zhen and I grew up in Malaysia! There, its always hot and sunny with a plethora of cheap but really good options everywhere. I was raised in a loving family of 5 in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur and as of writing this, I'm a 2nd year student in University of Bath! I'm currently based in the UK where its cold and windy and am pursuing a bachelors degree in Computer Science! I like the weather here(sometimes) and the overall vibe over here. I've been experimenting with different hobbies such as cooking and running recently and I'm also the chairperson of the Malaysian Society here. I enjoy talking to people and working on innovative projects and just generally seeing plans come to fruition. I'm always looking out for more oppurtunities to develop my personal growth and I'm a firm believer that a good community stimulates good behaviour!


United Kingdom(Skyline,Bath)

Aside from my general information, I am an avid nature lover and love spending time going on lesiurely walks with my dog! I really enjoy just going outside and enjoying what the natural world has to offer. Coupled with a good playlist, saturday mornings spent hiking or trekking is ideal for me. Before interning at Tsuin.Ai, I was working as a Cybersecurity intern in UOB Malaysia where I got loads of hands on experience dealing with ID Management. and before that I've worked several customer service jobs after my IGCSE's and A-Levels to earn some extra pocket money but I've simultaneously gained some extremely important life lessons that still follow me till this day! I'm happy to chat to anyone that reaches out, and I'm looking forward to meeting new people and learning from everyone! :D
