Oxford Year in Review #3 - Mini Plant Oxford

Source: http://www.bmwblog.com/

A few months after I arrived in Oxford, I was lucky enough to find a job as a media analyst at a communication research company. I was assigned to the automotive team where I read and analysed articles about cars. When I found out there is a MINI assembly plant in Oxford, I made it a point that I must visit the plant before I leave Oxford: firstly, it would add to my knowledge as an automotive media analyst, and secondly, as a trained engineer, I am kind of ashamed to have not been to any assembly plant before, hence, I must not miss the opportunity to do so.

Oxford Year in Review #2 - DeadFriday at Ashmolean Museum

One of the more memorable events that I attended in Oxford was the DeadFriday at Ashmolean Museum. The museum has this LiveFriday programme where it opens doors to visitors during night time on certain Fridays, featuring a specific exhibition theme. DeadFriday was organised in conjunction with the Halloween celebration, focusing on the topic of "Death".

Oxford Year in Review #1 - The Oxford Canal

My time in Oxford officially came to an end on 30 August 2016. 

Time passes by so quickly when one is having a good time. RC and I had an amazing year in Oxford, learning new things, exploring new places and making new friends. It was also an important year for us to build our relationship living together as a couple, and learning to adapt to each other's lifestyle. 

To me, it was also a year of rejuvenation, rediscovery and reconnection. My health has improved a lot due to healthier diet and a stress-free lifestyle; I was able to explore my interests in arts, volunteer and get involved in events that inspired my mind; I also met up with some old friends, whom I haven't seen in a long time, and got to know new ones through RC's and my friends' connection.

To wrap up my year in Oxford, I have decided to write a blog post series about the things that have made life memorable in Oxford.
