some photos and ramblings...

hmm..i wonder if anyone comes back to read this anymore..heh..yup..it's been a long time. some updates are needed i guess! so far, this academic year's been good, i think. more time for myself, to think, to rest, and to finish work in my own time. thankful for that :)

time really flies, it's 2 more weeks till the end of this term and when i fly back to Spore for the easter break, and just like my mum, i cant believe that it's gonna be the last two weeks of proper lectures and classes of my undergraduate life in Imperial. (-stands up to shut windows for the FIFTH time because the wind's really strong and i just cant lock the latch on the window-) Yea..as much as I am really looking forward to going back, I'm also half thinking, wow, u mean 3 years just zoomed past like that, and I can actually count the number of months I have left in London?

I remb je telling me when I first came that there's no point coming all the way here and then spending most of the time here wishing I was back at home..I have to admit I did spend qt a lot of time missing home n the ppl at home n trying to go back whenever I can and will allow myself to, but i guess now that I can see the end, I'm starting to really cherish each moment here. Not that it can ever replace my wanting to go back home, but that I'm once again amazed at what God has blessed me with in my life. Yup, I'll miss my housemates, my coursemates, my collegemates, the people who made coming to a place far away from home feel a little bit more like home.

Ok, must stop emo-ing already. haha. the grass is always greener on the other side. (-the tree outside my room is like swaying ferociously and the window's rattling so hard it's gonna blow open anytime soon again-) Anyways, so..what else in my life. haha. everything's been good i guess :) So far this year, I went to Italy with je in dec when he came to visit, had a great time there. Oso went to visit his -must visit- Manchester, I must admit that the tour of Old Trafford was indeed quite fun. haha. Together with the housemates, we also went on a road trip to Rochester where we were blessed with a comfy mpv bigger than the car we actually booked for, and it was auto too! Will be going to Valencia with Agnes next weekend for a short eat-lotsa-paella-and-catchup weekend, and then next weekend I'll be HOME! :) smiles.

Oh! and i should share smth exciting bout my FYP. I managed to successfully convert the brain signals I was given into music :) into different kinds too! managed to get the normal tune, the egyptian tune, the jazzy blues tune, the asian/chinese tune..fun! :) Met my supervisor today and he said good job :) Will be leaving the rest of the work till next term after the exams, where it'll be FYP full force.

All in all, I'm happy :) my life here is simple I guess, but in a nice way. thankful that things have been great with je, going strong :) thankful for the monday and thurs nite webcam sessions wif my parents, the nights I will be looking forward to the most, and when I can just tell my mum all that's been happening and she understands. thankful for the times I meet qian or hui online, when they arent too busy doing work and can entertain me. i really really miss the two of them. miss the times i tease qian n e times we get serious, n miss hui's laughter and silly antics and crazy talk which makes everyone laugh. yay to one and a half more years.

but also, thankful for the dinners the housemates have together, the after dinner conversations, the crazy experiences like water problems we had together, the bridge sessions every fri nite so far this term, the steamboat-in-a-rice-cooker during cny, the musicals, varekai, the road trips, the fun jumping shots, the housemates - the ppl who make the house feel more like a home to go back too i guess :)

ok i thot i rembered saying stop the emo-ing. It's like 2.40am now haha and I really should sleep..ciao!
