hi everyone!i'm sorry ive been so super inactive online since i've arrived in london, but i'm safe and happy (:
it's only been 2 weeks since i've been here, but it's begun to feel like i've been here forever. the whole place is really awesome and i'm loving it here, except for when i have to trudge to school on a rainy day.
it's been rather tiring having to do very mundane things like settle in, buy necessities, decorate your room, doing laundry and running all sorts of errands, but i guess that's all part of being independent.
the law readings have just started to come in it's pretty horrible, i feel like i ought to be in the library studying instead of gallivanting around already ):
but anyway i really like my hall and my course mates (: i still mostly hang out with the singaporeans, but it's quite heartening to know that everyone else isn't as unfriendly as i expected. it's quite like rj all over again, making acquaintances and small talk around school (or hall in this instance). my neighbours are really nice and friendly, and i go for hockey with one of them. haha yes i joined hockey just for the fun of it, and it's a bit intimidating at first being the only asian (thats not brought up in the uk) there but it's actually pretty fun. i just hope the workload from law doesnt make me quit it in the end.
i dont really get to see my friends from before as much, cos we're not in the same courses/halls and that makes it nearly impossible to see each other around a lot, but i'm glad for small things like meeting up for lunch with val, tea and shopping with jiaks and lantern carrying/sleepover with karen sam etc.
OHYA and thanks everyone who came to send me off/ sent me messages and stuff, i was really very touched that y'all bothered (: i'm sorry if i've appeared like i've disappeared from the face of the earth/ very unfeeling and don't seem like i'm missing people back home, but i really do miss the many familiarities of singapore. it's just that i'm either too tired, or feel like there's hardly any point in hanging on too much to singapore anyway because everyone's started on their new lives and shouldnt be caught hanging in the past; we should all be living it up in our new phases of life!
i wanted to photoblog, but i guess laziness caught up with me and you're reading a post devoid of photos instead oops. btw i haven't decided if i should switch to lj haha so friends, what do you think? (:

hello my sleep cycle is really screwed up from late nights and waking up late and hence it's a vicious cycle. (but at least i can say im totally adjusted to london time) i'm thoroughly exhausted with all the meet-ups and stuff but i'm also really happy too (: i think that's why i'm totally not feeling sad at all because i've been kept sooo busy! i think i'm a bit weird, am i supposed to be feeling very sad about leaving? because right now the only thing i'm feeling is EXCITEMENT about embracing a new future (:
and i really got to/ will meet everyone i want to before i leave so i'm really happy about that! SEE YALL IN DEC AGAIN I GUESS (: but maybe i'll eat my words the day/night before i leave or when im at the airport or when im there and feeling homesick. but there's always SKYPE right? (:
anyway in case you wanna come send me off: 23rd sept, T3, 11.30 pm flight so i'll be at the airport from 9plus i think!(:

i am so thankful for the BEST FRIENDS EVERRRRRR!! thanks for the supremely successful surprise haha, and for a million laughs and smiles, what with "did we just go through ERP?" "no karen it's 10pm" (it was a carpark haha), and screaming "OMG WE'RE GOING TO GET KNOCKED DOWN BY CARS" cos we heard cars and thought oli and angel were so evil to make us cross roads blindfolded when we were actually on an overhead bridge, and "bridge to aeroplane", THANKS FRIENDS (: i'll really miss all this is london!!!hm other than that i've just been eating A LOT.
both sides of the family have treated me to a sumptious farewell dinner, and yday melanie, jin-an and i stuffed ourselves silly at koukou's house because i knew i wasnt going to see crab, king prawns, LALA, abalone mushrooms and hot and sour soup for another 3 months. looks like i'll put on some of the freshmen fifteen before i leave alr!

i have a throbbing headache and big blisters on my feet and arms so sore it makes wearing clothes difficult.but i am also incredibly happy (:
i've been trying to make full use of my time, spending it with the people i love and doing things i've always wanted to do, like FINALLY GOING TO TIMBRE hahaa. but it also means i've mostly been spending time with the love of my life before i leave hahaa.
the last week was a whirlwind of activity, with meetups with ppl as usual, half dinner, TIMBRE, karaoke, sending bob off ):, CABLE SKI (: (: (:, keppel bay!! (and eggs ben :D), mambo ('what a night!' in edwin's words haha) etc.
cable ski!! omg am i pro or is angel a good photographer?? HAHA THE FORMER OF COURSE (:it was damn awesome. the feeling as if you're gliding on water just makes you inexplicably happy, so i was beaming like a retard most of the time on water until i reached the corners cos it's quite hard to turn the edges. took me a few falls into the water but at the end of it YIPPEE i went a full round twice haha(:
<3 x 1000000000000 (:
keppel bay with carmen!! the joys of having a car/ a friend who has a car hehe. the polaroid's even more awesome (: see you in london friend!and it's only going to get better(: CHUNKFEST on saturday woohoo it'll be nice to go to a bnjs event and not work for a change haha (: everyone should go! i can't wait to eat yellow brickle road ice cream it sounds like a mouthful of heaven!
13 more days! :/ text me if you wanna meet before i leave! (:

sigh stupid jiaks feeling all sentimental about leaving has spread the emo bug to me and now i can't sleep even though it's 2.21 am ):there were other things but i think i'll just leave one here because it's the only one that i really need my friends to know.
2. i've always envisioned the time i left to be epic and monumental haha. because they say that it's the best time/excuse to say things you've never been able to say and finally let go. but then that seems to be eclipsed by the fact that this won't (and can't) be goodbye, and that hopefully i'll be back in 3 months haha. but still i hope i'll be able to meet everyone who means sth to me in the time before i leave. because even though i'm really bad at showing it (because i believe in not showing emotions/love as a defence mechanism) or maybe just because i'm so lazy, you probably mean a lot to me.
