Christmas is coming

28 days count down to Xmas and 3 days count down to INTO Christmas Masquerade party. Time flies in a blink of a eye, remember last year, I had my very first European Christmas which was absolutely amazing. This year, I'm involving in organizing the Christmas party with many supports from INTO staff for students.

Like last year, this event will be held in Europa Hotel in Belfast on Wednesday, 30th November. The reason for celebrating it early is that students may go home after their exams. Anyway, sooner or latter really doesn't matter, having fun is what it matters :) There are lots of things to do for this event, such as planing, approving, hotel room booking, shopping for the events,etc which I feel really interesting for this Xmas. Hopefully for those students who haven't experience the real Xmas atmosphere, this is the chance to help them explore something new and those who celebrates Xmas, this would be another extreme lovely Xmas :)

In order to encourage students to come along, I arranged a free movie night with Christmas film, just to make them feel Christmas incoming very close and. This event went really well with lots of laughters :D

After the INTO Christmas party, there are many others in my list, such as INTO staff Xmas party, dinners with my friends and eventful calendar in the Student Union which I can't wait join in. This's gonna be a really exceptional season of greetings for me in the Uk

An eventful city

For those who think Belfast is not an interesting city, I post this entry just to show how interesting it is and how it can keep me busy all day.

Keep an on the newsletter of Belfast Council, the Student Union or any other organization, I can guarantee  that your diary is full of upcoming events. Recently, the MTW EMA held at City Hall in Belfast was one of the biggest international events. Not only are big cities like London or New York the destinations for those kinds of activities, Belfast, Northern Ireland is also in the list.
I've been here for more than 1 year and think Belfast is such a convenient city which you can have everything and enjoy the world-class activities in a short walk. For example, 30 minutes walk to City Center to meet your favorite celebrities and to cheer with the crowds

There are as well so many events for Christmas and I also involve in organizing one of the big events for  INTO students. I really feel like I am a part of this exciting city.
For this week, I am looking forward to seeing the Christmas lights switch on in the heart of Belfast. There will be packed with people and many interesting things. Christmas is coming, there it comes, the Christmas continental market with various kind of food from all over European countries... Whoo hooo, I really enjoyed it last year and can't wait to come to these events this December.

Ps: photos and news will be as well updated :P

Half way through of the 1st semester....and Happy Halloween

I'm in the middle of week 6 of the academic year. Now it's been half of the first semester already. October has just passed and there it comes November, as well I feel Christmas very close. Time really flies in a blink of an eye. I'm still dealing with my assignments and going to school regularly. Now I know almost everyone in my Msc Finance class and they're all very friendly. In Queen's, there are group works for every single module and that's a really fantastic opportunity for you to make friends.
Oh, nearly forget :) yesterday was my first presentation in my course. It was just a wee update for my project but I felt nervous as well :p. Fortunately, everything was going well and we got some positive feedbacks from the lecturer.

Apart from my studying, I'm still working with INTO students and we had a really good time together in the Halloween party up in Elms Village last night. People was well dressed up in their favourite Halloween costumes. We played some traditional games and then watched Insidious movie which was a horror film. All the students and I was really enjoyed that wee night. It seems to be more than enough for my second Halloween in Belfast and I'd better off to do my assignment now :D

Hope this will be a successful November for me and for everyone as well!!!
