two floors down.

hello! been ages since i blogged. it's becoming so irregular lah. dunno why also.. maybe just haven't got the mood to sit down and pen my thoughts down haha. though recently i've gotten back to the old habit of liking to send emails & letters.. and chatting to friends online also. guess it's just one of those things that suddenly occur to you when someone starts it again then you realise that it's smth you've really missed doing. so anyone out there who's bored and has got nothing to do please drop me an email! would definitely love to spend time reading & replying you =) smth i've decided to dedicate every morning doing.. there's just smth different about emails and talking face to face actually. i guess in emails you can be long-winded and just ramble on and on about nothing in particular.. and that's smth i enjoy doing heh. look at all my blog entries =p so long-winded. remember how someone used to say that my blog was nice to read coz it was reader-friendly.. probably coz i use perfect english. whereas other pple say it's damn hard to read coz it's damn long.. haha oh well if it's so hard to read & u can't be bothered to find out what's happening in astee's life then just don't read lorh. simple isn't it?

it's already the 20th of april lah. time just flies.. i've no idea where my 5.5 weeks of easter holidays went =p didn't seem like i travelled for so long.. school starts on 28th and i've got a paper on 30th ugh wish me luck! i've been -trying- to study the past few days but really no mood. at least i've made abit of progress in electromagnetism today.. quite proud of myself =) (even though i think i studied for a grand total of 2 hours only =p) haha who said astee was mugger huh? did i really give that impression back in rj last time? coz no matter how i see myself now i don't find myself hardworking at all =p maybe i really have changed.. due to complacency maybe hmm. not good =p

and so yes i went for a 16-day easter trip to germany & switzerland =) pretty much enjoyed myself. once again i went with guys and this time it was a really typical guy group i think. ALL they talked about (and i really mean ALL) was either girls or NS or soccer. seriously lah every other word they say can fall into any of these categories.. i didn't get this feeling from my other travelmates last time =p hmm usually i thought that if you're travelling with a girl you'd try to keep her entertained too.. or maybe it's just me that's why they never bothered to include me in their conversations =p anyway most of my photos are on facebook already! but for the benefit of those who cannot be bothered to check or those without facebook (which i think is like very very very few people out there) here are just a few photos taken during my trip.. abit small i know but if you're gonna meet up with me some time back in singapore i'd bring the larger versions for you to see heh so do come & find me when i'm home k!

haha that was the germany photos! (and the next one coming will be the switzerland ones) germany was quite nice.. full of history heh. pity i've forgotten everything i learnt in secondary school if not i'd probably be more fascinated with the place. but really quite cool to actually see the berlin wall and stuff like that when all you've been doing is just reading and studying about it. haha and as william or ben put it muslims will really die in germany coz everything is just pork & beer all around =p really got lack of veggie lorh. loved the potato dumplings though. and i think pork knuckle was really just like siew yok =p

switzerland! really expensive place actually. the only cheap stuff are the chocolates.. (which i'm bringing loads back! -grin-) hmm really pretty scenery but must go in summer too to see all the nice pretty flowers. i'm considering going there to study! can't remember if i mentioned it before but after visiting the university (with damn nice labs & lecture theatres) i think i'm pretty much convinced that i'd be applying to do my masters in switzerland heh. just a pity that zurich is quite a boring place.. but never mind i guess. from what it seems like to me i'd probably be spending quite abit of time in the labs.. and i can always make trips out of zurich.. or wait for someone to come and visit me -grin- =D

haha that's about all about my trip.. i'd probably talk more if you ask me more about it. it was fun though =) & that's two countries down but still many more to go.. melho's coming in june after my exams! so can bring her around & take the chance to tour UK more also. i myself haven't been around to the attractions much so it's good that someone's coming so i've got an excuse to get out there to see london and the rest of UK =p haha hopefully my next winter will be in france! or maybe egypt with clarence. i dunno.. currently no plans yet but i doubt i'd be going skiing again. must take the chance to really tour more countries since next year will be my final year. ahh gosh so fast =p

mm talking about clarence he seems quite keen on me meeting up with his and ziyang's clique this summer. -cringes- i'm not that looking forward to it lorh. coz i know girls and girls tend to judge other girls isn't it? they don't like me howww =p and no offence but they are all like older than me. i'd feel like some small little kid lah. seen photos of them before and they look so grown-up and mature not like the immature childish me bleh. only comforting thing is that i've got ziyang and clarence around so it shouldn't be -that- bad =p haha must start to mentally prepare myself now liao.. i bet on that day itself my heart will be beating non-stop or smth lah. dunno why this seems to be harder than meeting ziyang's parents =p oh at least clarence's friends speak english. i hope =p

haha oh well i shouldn't be worrying about things like that but more about my studies =p really seems like i come to imperial to play only lah. i dun recall doing much work the last two terms besides chionging lab reports.. maybe coz there were so many other things to be busy with so that's why the memory's abit faint =p my next term will probably be one of the xiong-est again. lab reports lectures AND exams. dunno why chem department just doesn't wanna stop earlier and let us have a bit more time to relax.. i start exams like one month after darius and clarence end lah. how unfair is that =p oh well. not really looking forward to sleeping tonight actually.. coz i had a really horrible dream last night involving dead people so i'm a bit scared to sleep tonight. probably sleep with the lights on or maybe i'd move out and go sleep on darius' bed coz it will probably make me feel better knowing that kengseng is nearby =pp (i'm sure you don't mind right darius =p) or alternatively i could just hope that someone will be nice to me and brave the cold for me tonight =p haha okok enough rambling. think i'd go study abit after this to distract myself. take care everyone! and i'd see you here again maybe next month =p

i miss being two floors up! =(
