Oiii why GBP is so low now?

17 month ago when i left malaysia to study in UK, the currency was 1 GBP to almost rm7. That was really high. Uk currency was very powerful that time. But today, one week before i am going back to malaysia, the conversion rate is 1.00 GBP to rm 5.77. Why is GBP freaking weak now ohh? WTF ohhh?




Imagine changing 1.5k GBP to malaysian ringgit with 2 different rates :
a) 1GBP to rm7.00 ; 1.5k GBP = rm 10,500
b) 1GBP to rm5.77 ; 1.5k GBP = rm 8,655


That means, if i have 1.5k GBP and change them into malaysian ringgit right away, i freaking lost RM 1845 !!!!!!! DENG! @_@


On the other hand, i went swimming again this morning. This is confirm the last swimming session before i go back malaysia liao. So, since this is the last class, i used almost all of the time praticing sitting and standing dive by myself! wooohooooo!!! Each and every jump made me feel great! On one occasion, my swimming goggles came off when i dived into the water, water pressure hit my chest, i cant open my eyes in the water, panicked and almost got myself choke. Emma guided me on standing dive and I practiced at least 10 subsequent times by myself! hehe. Sometimes i managed to dive nicely but sometimes something very weird happened. Very hard to explain. Come to think of it, it is actually quite dangerous to dive/dive without guidance. -_-"


I love swimming, perhaps i started to love swimming after i was given chances to learn swimming. I remembered when i first arrived glasgow, i was very keen to swim. The first 2 times were during winter time in february, that time only hs and i went to try out. I was stopped by the staff and warned not to swim near the deep end. Why? BECAUSE I WAS A NOOBIE that time. So i started to go for beginner's class every thursday morning or friday afternoon. Later on, Ed and Sm both joined gym and thus the 4 of us went swimming quite regularly. Before this, i was very upset because i cant swim. You can swim, do you? Today, I am really happy because i can finally swim, plus dive!


Swimming is definitely another big achievement that i have achieved in glasgow besides completing mpharm degrees.



Thank you Jenna, Emma, Mark and colleagues!!!
Thank you hs, sm, wm and ed!!
