i think i should stop blogging so weirdly! XD

i think my water consumption has increased drastically

i believe prayer is powerful.

i know that God is even more powerful.

i heard from shirlaine!! XD

and i thought i'd never get through the 6 amazing hours of lectures. and i did! and i thought i'd go back right after, to sleep off the fatigue, but i didn't! ended up engaging in this long disucssion about where to go, what to do. ended up in ridgmount gardens (hurhur) again! what's new! hoho my favourite place to crash in central london. where im welcomed with open (i hope) arms and always has lotsa good good food! today i think i consumed like ten thousand calories worth of good food. including lotsa desserts! but lunch was really really good stuff man. we had a meal full of mushroom, cheese, chocolate. woots! good stuff! thanks to chehkkie and tammy. and no we aren't just pigging out for no apparant reason, we were celebrating none other than our beloved annie's birthday!!!

happy birthday baobeiiiiiiiiiiii!! (:

we seem to be lumped together for almost everything. almost all the practicals. same dissection table, spanish class and badminton amongst others last year! till this year. except for dissection, but still same session, not as if we go to our proper tables anyway. hoho! and i'm not complaining. hurhur hope you enjoyed the supposed surprise! shan't reveal ur age, hoho! big girl liao, we jiayou together many many this year ok! hehe muacks! (:

and so after the longlongday of lectures and lectures and more lectures, we had every intention to go to covent garden (after a longdiscussion) for random walkabout since annie had to go belgo's at 7 for another bday bash. wah popular sia. haha so we (annie, bao, shing, chehkkie) went chehkkie's place so she could change into proper shoes ( i think) but we just plopped ourselves there and.. only moved to dapao kfc, then went back there.

talked lots, mostly rubbish. i like. hurhur. felt a bit like concord. (: nice. we were relieving our old days of glory. when were deemed as geniuses by everyone, and how we somehow degenerated to our current state. not that im complaining. i kinda like the way i am. haha our old days of glory moulded us into what we are today, our personality and all that whatnots. and its good. we're good. (: hoho. and yesssss im a walking contradiction. why not happy? FIGHT LAH. hurhur.

oh and i think orange is cheating my minutes!!! c2pid orleng!!! rargh. haha ok chill chill. see how it goes. if its wrong, i'm gonna ROAR at them. haha i am dying to play tennis! argh after today's clinical pharmacology lecture (the clinical pharm lecturers are both a bit weird, but funny! i stayed awake), im seriously concerned that in addition to cvd, i'm probably super high risk of hypertension and diabetes (even without family history). so.. time to do somelifestyle changes. and then right after the lectures right, i downed lotsa kitkat and kfc for dinner. woohoo~ changes are sure taking place man. haha!

i love pds. im so looking forward to pds tmr. i love pds. i love pds. i love pds. can you see how much i love pds? i love pds. woots woots.

today i had to choose between two friends.
and i chose
to stay back at home and chat online
instead of going for badminton with another
hope ur day got better! mou stressy ah~ hurhur
and im sorry abt badminton haha but it will be made up for tmr :D

today was a completely unplanned day. haha everything i sort of intended to do, didn't happen. and i just went with complete spontaneity (?) and randomness. feels kinda nice to do things on random impulse again. hurhur. and it has been a good day. despite the horrigible rain T_T at least i have my trusty old 'evening standard' umbrella. haha it works so well, better than my last one that cacated quite quickly actually. how sad. today was a totally munchy day. pretty much cleaned out so many things in the kitchen. time to restock. hoho!

and i've been updating quite regularly.. i got a sinking suspicion that there's gona be a drought quite soon. haha typical. byebyebye~

take home message from today's lecture : ten zombies borrowed my cat. its stuck in my head! so i guess its good, at least i'll somewhat forever remember the branches of the facial nerve. tenzombiesborrowedmycat. tenzombiesborrowedmycat. hurhur (:

oh yah btw, today i found someone who accurately described reason for my lack of competitive spirit. it's the best anyone has ever managed to describe it. weird but true. hurhur.

highlight of the day.. we all had happy dinner at joykinglau to celebrate none other than..

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez's bday! (: it was a fun and funny dinner, only remember laughing most of it, and i managed to poke successfully *claps* its been a while. haha

happy birthday cheeeez! (:

start of dinner er jie and i felt a bit extra lah, to sit in a table full of -macho- ucl econs guys (+ a medic) but it just got funnier and funnier as they dished out dirt about one another, sabo-ing and having the most random conversations. i like. hurhur. anyhows, hope they are having fun racing grannies. XD

你的微笑贬值了每一个奇妙.

okies some pictures from manchesterrrr-concord-birmingham hurhur!

well, after a long 5 hr bus ride, and supper in taiwu (sze chuan beef!!), we went to bus station to pick bao up. at first, we came up with this great plan of getting arther to "chat up" with bao, cos she wouldn't recognise him, but AIYAR wasted, he started to panic and so all plans failed. oh wells. haha we walked back through some dodgy alleys, bathed and plopped ourselves in front of the fantabulistic flat screen plasma tv and wayyyy comfortable couch. i want!! we got a bit too happy after catching infernal affairs 2 on channel 4, in cantonese! so glad they didn't dub over. a bit too awake for our own good, so we chatted till 4 am in the morning. i wonder how tiong managed to wake up for her classes. haha (:

fooling around after infernal affairs..

so after tiong came back from classes, the lazy pigs woke up, and we went to taiwu for dimsum lunch. it was wayyy yummy and cheap as well. hurhur we really need one of those in London man. haha they had a really efficient system of numbers and colour coded paper to sort out groups and manage the queue. impressed! kinda reminded me of immigration actually. haha.


then blurblocks as we were, we trodded across manchester trying to find our way to the bus stop that has the bus that would bring us to old trafford. grumbles. old traffoordd. took some stupid pictures along the way! hurhur (:

then! we came to the bus station! but ah-ha, chehkkie spotted something more exciting called primark, -ahem- and so we got sucked into that black hole, and didn't come out till a long while later. we all had fun inside, whether it was shopping or just fooling around with random hats and caps. haha, what can i say? good decision to go in, everyone came out happy! :D



and after waiting and waiting at the bus stop, the bus finally came! and we were off to old trafford. the most dreaded part of the trip for me really. haha but because we conned bao all the way to manchester, to stay in a complete stranger's house, this was our compromise! hurhur took some random pictures outside the stadium..

and then took the stadium tour.. i must say, highbury is much nicer actually. HAHA.. XD funny thing is, we crashed the tour of this bunch of chinese tourists. and all of them didn't understand english, except for this woman who was trying her best to help the tourguide translate, but halfway she kinda gave up.. and we attempted to take over the translation. boyyyy is my mandarin rusty. haha so diu lian. -_- but at least, they got a rough idea of what they guy was saying lah hor.. yah. ok self consolation. hurhur. imagine what would happen if we weren't there! the tourguide talk to himself, the rest talk among themselves. hurhur.

after that we made our way to trafford centre, this ridiculously huge shopping centre. had dinner, shopped around, had thorntons. just basically, letting the day slowly wrap itself up, relaxed, slow paced. my type of thing. haha after that we went back to tiong's place, and plopped ourselves on the sofa, in time to watch infernal affairs 3. haha shiokness! and then we all kinda chatted and conked out about 4am? haha wondered how tiong managed to make the 9am hospital visit. haha but she did! (: we all got our lazy selves outta tiong's place and made our way to the train station reluctantly. manchester is so nice! haha, and made our way down to shrewsbury, then concord! met up with some teachers, got all nostalgic, college life was one of the best! (: hehe i miss concord, all the people, all the times, all the lameness. sigh :(

after hanging around for quite some time, we made our way back to town, wandered around a ghost town, everything was closed by 5plus, forgot that we were in shrewsbury not London, so everything kinda just dies. haha so the only shop open was MnS, and well, we went a bit crazy there as well, doing stupid things and taking stupid pictures.hurhur what's new.. (: i still think chehkkie and bao should have gotten the pink "bedroom slippers". haha..




our train from shrewsbury was delayed by 10 minutes, so ngam ngam we missed our connecting train from birmingham to london. so we took the train one hour later, so during this hour, we made a little trip around birmingham. ok we went to bullring (another ridiculously huge shopping centre) to use the toilet. -_- blame it on chehkkie! haha who ask her know her way to the toilet.. and then we brought bao to malaysian delights! yummy authentic charkuayteow that we would dapao once a year after chinese new year dinner during concord times. hurhur i guess we practically intoxicated the poor angmoh girl sitting with us with the fragrance of lard, soya sauce, prawns and lapcheong. haha

a pic outside birmingham train station. haha but cannot see the words! rargh. hehe! anyhows, we got back to london, tired, but recharged. odd isn't it. and i'll talk about notts another day. haha my system shutting down already and its only 8.30 pm... ZzZz..

bao :: chehkkie :: tiong :: wenx

happily slacking on the couch

if only this could go on forever.. (:

and so i had a great three days in manchester then concord then birmingham [here's a summary of the trip, quoted from cheh's blog "spent 10 hours travelling, 10 hours sleeping, 40 hours eating, 8 hours shopping, 6 hours watching tv"] and a freezing day in nottingham "playing tennis". may update on that later, watch this space! (or not..) hurhur

i spent a good 5 hours talking to cheh on the bus to manchester actually due to a minor glitch, so there was just the two of us. talked about pretty much everything under the sky. about the past, about the present, about friends (are you thinking gossip? i think not actually), about spiritual life, about views on issues, about everything really. after that, kinda left me thinking about some things, marginally disturbing actually, but good to think about nevertheless. anyhows, loved the chat! thanks (:

and so tomorrow, marks the start of a new module. neuroscience and behaviour. haven't actually been receiving very encouraging comments about this topic/module/system in general from seniors of all years and ages (except er jie who thinks neuroscience is fun). isn't that just fantastic! i can barely wait till tmr when i immediately start lagging from the first day of class. hurhur. ok psyche up! sadistic as it may sound, i'm actually enjoying 2nd year work. hurhur. not the workload, but the work itself. ok should sleep soon.

called home today, had a nice long chat with ma and a ridiculously funny chat with pa. hurhur. i wana go home! :( and then somewhere in the middle got a phonecall from jbbpjk (haha looks like gibberish). and we disturbed the chickenfeet outta IT, bombarding IT with nonsense. what i learnt from the conversation - i am the smartest person in the world. hurhur. lack of sleep caused my eating powers to go down, cheez benefitted the most from that. booooo. ok go sleep, recharge. byebyebye!

Jesus loves you

Amen

ok. byebyebye! (:

why am i still blogging at 2am? probably because i've been sleeping at 10+ very frequently, so im trying to make up for the lack of late nights. hurhur. call me weird. people have been calling me weird so much lately that im kinda immune to it already. i guess i am weird. so what? at least i'm unique. haha im in denial. -_-

thanks tams for veryvery kindly inviting us over to ur place for fondue! it was yummylicious. i don't remember much of the conversations had there, except that most of it was just nonsense as usual. good fun. glad that everyone was in good spirits. had to leave early to meet rach. supposed to have dinner with her, but i was way too full of misato+lotsandlotsoffondue+gelato. paisehness.

today, marked the sort-of start of preparation for this year's christmas outreach. after quite a long time of seeking and searching, praying and watching (haha), i am thankful that God called me to this. along with a team of people with eager hearts and focused minds. probably one of the more large-scale things i've ever done, yet i don't feel stressed or burdened. maybe i will later, whatever it is, keep the focus right.

on my way back, i purposely did not get on the first 18 bus that came, cos it was so crowded. i just had this gut instinct another bus was following behind so i stayed at the bus stop while everyone pushed their way up. i just wasnt in the mood to go and squeeze with everyone. i wanted a peaceful quiet journey back to just give my day a nice slow peaceful wrapup. and yups, 2mins later, a completely empty 18 pulled up at the bus stop and i happily got on. the bus was quiet, relatively empty and i didn't even have anyone sitting beside me the whole journey. and i could just slowly watch the scenery pass while listening to atthecross+nonebutJesus and just spend time with God. sometimes, just being a bit patient whilst going with ur gut instinct can drastically affect the way things end. more often than not, it is good stuff. hurhur.

came back to two [hysterical] sisters relieving old days of yf choir. boy do i miss those days. how monotonous the altos always sound, yet when the whole choir sings together, FUYOH obviously the altos contribute to the nice effects! [ahem] haha. laughed so hard, i think i'll really start getting nice pecs. hurhur.

nooneelse.

people in the world always ask you to be honest with your thoughts, honest with your opinions, fight for your rights, fight for what you want to do, don't be a doormat and the list continues. But today, i realised saying what you really think isn't the best idea. i find it harder and harder to say exactly what's on my mind as i grow older. what i say is indeed still what i think, but i just speak a lot less. people are less receptive to what you have to say and in this world when everyone wants to have it their way, just let them have it their way.

today was a big merrygoround taking a variety of buses with the bao. talk about maximising bus pass. HAHA! but shiokness. finished half the tub of ice cream. weird how the weather took a bigbigbig drop today, so cold, eat more ice cream. dun really get how that works out, but yah. haha! now i look like a banana, wearing this hugelyoversized yellow jumper cos its cold. booooo.

today's dissection was.. interesting. im sure chehkkie learnt loads. actually off and on i can still smell charles' cadaever. argh!! haha! i actually stayed for two sessions, very proud of myself. what did i learn? i learnt that the foot was very troublesome. haha! so many tendons and i duno what lah. more stuff to read. assessment on monday, so much to read. i'm only halfway down the arm by the way, still gotta complete the rest of the arm and the legs! and all the physio,pharmo,patho,IDUNOlah. boooo! ok psyche up psyche up! ROAR! think positive. think holiday. wahhhh. nice.

anyhows,

happy birthday MR. bufangbian.aaron.mangala.soh.xiaoyou!

i realised im always on the right side of the picture.. weird. anyhows, hope you had a blast! shan't talk so much here, time to psyche up and try (TRY) to study. hehe

gooddays..
