flying. again.

mm in like 48 hours i will be inside BA0012 already getting ready to fly off to london haha oh well time really passes so so fast. haha i can't believe i've been back for 3 months! feels like i did nothing.. the whitley days were like so long ago lah. mm a few weeks ago i was like damn eager and can't wait to fly back to london. probably coz swiss cottage and singsoc stuff were like driving me crazy or smth. then now when it's finally time for me to fly yahh 有一点舍不得 oh well dunno why. and it's not like there's alot of loose ends i have to tie up here. well there is actually i still got singsoc stuff to do grrr. and hmm as for the people i have to meet i think i've more or less met those that i wanted to. got a few which i might have left out i think but it's ok! 9 months will pass very fast and i will meet up with you guys again. & i realised that i haven't been posting photos on my blog for quite awhile.. so here's some =)

haha well i went to my aunt's house for dinner on saturday. it was going to be my last time in that place coz her house got enbloc and by the time i come back next year she'd be at a new place liao.. uhhuh so she specially cooked for me dinner at her place and yeah we kinda hung out there lorh. haha the adults were all busy watching soccer or chatting so yah i was with my little cousins. all girls and they kept bugging me to entertain them.. and well i had a camera with me so the best way to entertain them was to take photos =p it was quite amusing lah. we were going on and on about girl power. there was a video too but i'm still thinking twice about putting it on facebook =p haha it was cute lah but damn embarrassing also mm but i think the main thing is they had fun and that's all that matters =) after all it'll be like another 9 more months before they'd get to play with their big jie jie again. oh well i'd miss them all. haha their average age is like half of mine lah. & i'm like still as childish as them =p oh well. haha don't worry one day astee will grow up =p

haha then i met my female friends on sunday! any time i mention female friends right it'll definitely be this group of people coz they're like the only group of female friends i have =p quite sad right. haha but that's how astee is like.. was fun seeing them all again =) had dinner at asian kitchen marina square and dessert at menotti. haha the cakes there are so nice and pretty lahh. you all should go try.. it's half price after 10pm! mhmm eunice was really high calling everyone her dears and darlings heh. the usual eunice =) we just chatted alot and talked alot. really hope we can meet up in france in dec 2008! eunice & melho i'm counting on you two k! coz i got a feeling i wun be going paris in my second year so hopefully my dream can come true in my third year.. yup yup. haha and i wanna go white water rafting tooo! we better meet up more often next year k when i come back.. melho you better not go and run off to batam or bintain or bali to climb or dive or whatever not =p and hope you'd have a house by the time i return home too =p haha had a nice chat with melho on the bus home also.. haven't talked to a girl so much for a very very long time heh -hugs- the more i talk to you the more i realise we're so different (you the active one and me the sedentary one) yet so similar. you take care k! and yes i agree with you that it's ok to be selfish once in awhile.. trying to please everyone can just be so tiring sometimes. dun worry so much alright? me (and many other people) will always be around for you =)

haha this was taken today. mm my second sis (someone once asked me why i call her my second sis.. actually up to now i still dunno. coz technically although she is second in the family she's my first sister haha oh well no idea =p) finished her prelims today so yeah went out for a family dinner together at marina. had steamboat! first time in my twenty years going for steamboat at marina.. haha it wasn't too bad yeah but i was enjoying it more coz of the fact that it's the entire family together. we dun get that often haha and well it just feels nice. very qiao also i happened to "meet" someone there =p it's like the second time we both had individual gatherings at the same place lah =p mhmm after that we decided to go to the temple near my house to see lanterns. there was a fair thingy and my daddy had coupons so yup we all went.. my mum went home first though =p so it was just a daddy & daughters thing. sadly the camera died like somewhere in the middle but before that managed to take a few photos.. the lanterns are just so pretty lah =) haha and to end it off before we went home we three sisters went to sit on a kid's ride. it was just swings that went round and round.. the stuff u see at theme parks yah just alot more tame. probably meant for like 8 years old and yah i was there playing too =p quite amused but oh well it was nice =) i'm so gonna miss my two sisters.. haha gonna miss how my little sis goes "so cool!" at everything & how my second sis laughs at stuff my little sis says or does heh. oh well i'm sure things will go fine =)

mm i'm flying again so soon. haha few people i know are like noting down what they intend to do in the new academic year so maybe i should too. got a few things i already promised myself (and others) so yeah maybe i should put in down in print so that i can remind myself once in awhile too =p here goes..

1) be more organised and neat. hahah i keep saying that this will happen next year but somehow people will always doubt me =p but dun worry i'm very sure my room will be in perfect condition next year. even without jiaxuan nagging at me i'm damn sure it'll happen. after all i got someone else to nag at me liao =p trust me k! my room in montrose court will not be in a mess for the next nine months. promise!

2) stop procrastinating & sleep earlier. haha once again someone doubts that i can do this =p actually i have a bit of doubt myself but i know that i dun have a choice in second year. coz from what i heard next year's lab will be like my year one third term which was totally sucky. i had like no time to slack =p so haiiiii. hopefully i will develop a sense of urgency & get my reports done as fast as i can. not that i have a choice actually coz i'd probably have like 4-5 days only & during those days i will be ending at like 5pm or smth grrr. but oh well yeah i will make sure i dun keep facebooking or watching youtube or playing with photoshop if i have work to do k? =p and i promise to sleep by like 1.30am everyday so this means i die die have to work hard & fast. ahhhhh. haha nvm jiayou astee!

3) travel more. haha i really wanna travel more! not only out of london but like out of my own south kensington area. hopefully i'd have time for a few simple short weekend trips or smth. but with singsoc i'm kinda doubting it =p but nvm! i'm sure it's not impossible. and everyone ask me why i've not been to any stadium in england but i've visited like the ones in milan and spain =p and i seriously wonder about that too.. haha i wanna go manchester. i'm totally not a soccer person but for some strange reason i wanna go there. hope that can come true next year!

4) do well for my exams. haha this year i have a total of 7 exam papers yup. compared to last year's 5. and well i obviously won't settle for anything below an A =p abit worried for my january exams coz of ski trip but i'm sure i can do it.. like i said since young i've never really had to worry about academic matters let's hope that this coming year won't be much of a difference..

5) don't be late for any lecture don't miss any lecture and don't sleep during any lecture. haha the last one is the one i am most concerned about actually. especially for physics and physical chem lectures =p haojun i will probably need you to poke me again =p haha but yeah this year i will try my best to pay attention to all lectures no matter how lousy the lecturer is. coz that's like the only way i can study less for exams especially for january exam when i have like only 7 days to study for 9 modules. haha good luck astee =p

6) dun break anything during ski trip! -touch wood- wah quite scared i will hurt smth you know then my mum will scold me for the rest of my life or smth. and like yah if i do break smth it will be freaking troublesome and there will be like no one to look after me.. haha even if there is i dun like being a burden to anyone so yah =p oh well nothing bad should happen lah right. i dun think i am that unlucky.. and i won't be alone during ski trip anyway! sure got people take care of me one.. even if some people are pro liao & can move on to another stage i will still have other nice people who will be struggling with me as beginners.. right? =p

7) cry less. haha i cried alot last year i realised. like all over linstead. out of my 9 months there probably like 2-3 months were spent crying or smth =p mm but i think this year should be alot better.. unless it's stress coz of work or singsoc i dun think i will be crying that much anymore i hope. but at least i got my own room now so it's ok =p i wonder what people think when they see someone crying though. i really hope they dun look down on me when i cry but -shrug- i wun be surprised if some people do lah coz it's true that crying won't solve anything. but i still promote crying as a way of just making urself feel better.. so yup there's nothing wrong with crying k?

haha ok i think there's more. like exercise more try not to gain so much weight talk to my coursemates more etc etc but nvm i shan't list them all =p haha i think my second year will definitely be a more interesting exciting and well.. happy one =) ahhh really can't believe i'm flying again. oh well i think this entry is long enough.. to everyone else out there take care ok? i'd be seeing some of you in london (in my horribly short hairrrrrr! -whines- i can't wait for like 2 months to pass so my hair can grow back and look slightly more normal =p) and the rest of you in nine months k? take care and all the best for ur exams tests and stuff.. i'd miss you all -hugs- =)
