ah bliss

marking my success of passing my project yesterday.

YAY!

i did mostly nothing today except for waking up late, watching loads of videos, cooking after so long and took some pictures. :)

lemme start with them pictures..

as anyone who's been to guildford would know, one of the main landmarks of guildford would be the cathedral. its that massive church with a golden angel at the top. it is also right next to the university, so near infact that the university's annual convocation/ graduation is held there.

yep. students of surrey graduate in a church.

sad innit.

Photobucket

i didnt notice the doors at first.. but i do like the details on them.. 

Photobucket

this was taken on the other side of the cathedral. if you look properly, theres a massive cross in front of the cathedral and a rooster which tells the wind direction.. :P

also.. earlier today i watched this very interesting documentary titled: "Science and Islam" which was hosted by Prof Jim Al-Khalili, whom i am proud to say is a professor here at the university of surrey. 

yay for surrey! ;p 

anyways, the documentary explains about how modern science started or progressed in Islam. i think it is a very good documentary which glued my butt down to my seat for a good 2 hours.

the documentary has 3 parts; part 1 and 2 has been air on BBC and can be viewed on BBC's Iplayer. links below ;-

Part 1:Science and Islam - The Language of Science

Part 2 :Science and Islam - The Empire of Reason 

it is much recommended. do please watch it .. 

part 3 will be aired next week. if i'm not mistaken you can find it on torrents as well.

anyways.. thats all for now.. tata :)
