yay. became touristy all over again over the past few days...with lovely company (: shall describe my days one by one lest i forget many months later..

thursday 15th : was doing computing test, when jeremy left after quite a short while..i was there alone staring at my screen, trying to finish up my own program, and trying it to see if it worked. the joy of doing my program successfully is -undescribable-, especially because of what i was looking forward to after the test. finished at 11am, and went -straight- to south kens stn to take the tube to heathrow (: picked je up, and home we came :) -smile smile smile- hee :p

friday 16th : spent a whole day 'along' river thames cos we took this river red rover cruise thing which allows us to hop on and off the cruise ferry at different touristy spots along the river..so we visited westminster abbey, tower of london, tower bridge, passed the london eye, and greenwich too. took lotsa photos! was super duper super duper cold on the top deck of the ferry, because of the wind and all! oh ya we couldnt take it and we succumbed to a cup of starbucks christmas choc mint drink. super nice!! haha. den we went to linstead for dinner to join the rest, and headed home after that. nice touristy day! :)

saturday 17th : today was walk alot day. we walked -so- much from wilson to leicester sq to buy half price tickets for the woman in white at nite then to picadilly and regent street to shop den back to leicester for dinner and then the musical. musical was nice! i just love love love musicals :) but the songs are not as memorable tho, as the great musicals like les mis and phantom and all. but was still nice. :)

sunday 18th: we were going to church service at 9.30 and we overslept!!! ok. cos i thot i snoozed the alarm clock actually i turned it off. haha we woke only at 9.10, rushed and managed to chiong to church, reaching at 9.45 am..good thing the bus arrived quickly! after church, eugene and jamin cooked us (together with diane's family too!) a delicious lunch of lasagne (made from scratch!!) and cream of chicken soup..we ate so much..talked alot too..was a great lunch :) den we went to the natural history museum..interesting museum! in my opinion, nicer than the v&a. ha. we bought fudge too from the christmas stalls...and walked back home..fudge is the best man. :)

monday 19th: slept in and then walked to buckingham palace..we felt that it wasnt that spectacular..heh..nothing much..saw the changing of guards..but didnt go into the gallery cos had to pay..den we went to leicester sq to get tickets for les miserables..after that we hanged around the leicester/ picadilly area before going for dinner at misato! queued for very long but was worth it. yay. les mis was good!! esp when the whole cast sang together..the orchaestra was sooo nice...the solos were good too..yay :) i wanna watch phantom!! yay.

going to spain tmr..hope we haf a safe and fruitful trip! :)

to everyone, i'm ok..dun haf to worry..i am learning to give thanks because i know God has his plans and does things in His time..

on a brighter note, it's finally finally finally the 14th. i cant wait till the moment after my programming test on thurs when i'll be taking the tube down to heathrow..cant wait cant wait cant wait. loads of relief after handing up e design proj report and doing the lab presentation. 2 more things to go through - finishing passive networks and programming test..then it's happy holidays ahead! i cant wait.

i think this is the biggest trial so far..it's not the workload, not the difficulty of school, not the difficulty of starting life in a new environment.

it's so difficult to believe..i cant go on living as if nothing has happened. as if nothing has changed. i will miss her so much. i will tell myself not to regret, and that i did once cherish all those moments.

and i thank God for blessing her, for blessing us, for blessing me. I will be still and know that He is God. God above all, who watches over all. praying for the strength..

thanx mum, it's true. to haf hope amidst the pain.

:'( i wanna hug someone

went to cardiff over the weekend..memories like huddling together in the cold like penguins cos we didnt book any accom for e first nite would stick..heh e fun part was travelling with frens..the triple e and biomed engineers travelled together..the two most xiong courses one..heh..but we work hard and play hard! :) anw..it was fun, but tiring. and cold! after that, back to reality..hai...
sometimes..i really really really really feel like giving up..but a thought always creeps up behind, telling me that God put me in this place and in this situation for a purpose..and that i'm already very blessed..I will hold on..9 more days.
Lord, teach me to be still..and know that You are God.

had christmas carols practice at hub yest..i miss choir so much! miss caroling at fullerton. one of my favourite songs..which when i was singing on e way back home..felt much closer to my heart...

I'll be home for Christmas..
I'll be home for Christmas, u can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
and presents on the tree
Christmas eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in...my dreams....

Now i realise even though the melody and harmonies are so nice..(csa u can testify to that..heh..as i type it out, the whole song with e echoes, which part comes in where and all are going thru my head..)but i it's such a sad song..and..i wont be going home for Christmas. :( A very different Christmas ahead.
