 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

havent blogged in a while.. so since i have time today and i am in the kitchen of Lionel's hostel.. might as well do a little update abt the past week... 

today is Christmas.. going to have our own little Christmas dinner.. haha... with Lionel, Collen, Cheryl and 9 other of Cheryl's friends... only going to start preparing to cook etc in abt 10mins time.. 

13th Dec - had a fantastic christmas dinner with the peeps at Hampstead.. they are really amazing people & i am so going to miss their company!! FUN DAY!! unfortunately i had an exam the next day.. SIGHZ...
17th Dec - went to Westfield Shopping Centre with liming.. this place is HUGE.... but reminds me a lot like Ion in Singapore.. well cuz in SG, it is all shopping centers.. and you dont get a lot of these type of malls here in London where all the shops are in one facility.. later that evening, i headed over to Heathrow Airport to pick up [info]epicflailer  who came up to London to see me! :D went for nando's for dinner.. 
18th Dec - began our shopping adventure in London with nat.. then watched Avatar in 3D in the afternoon with some of the peeps from my floor... after the movie, returned back to Hampstead to find our kitchen invaded by Malaysians... managed to chase them out of the kitchen.. a lot of hateful stares & glares.... but well, they were out.. they used our pots & pans without asking.. one guy even asked us 'where was our christmas spirit?'... well, were they going to offer us food? NO... they could have at least used one side of the kitchen and left the other side for us to use.. but NO.. they had to use the WHOLE kitchen.. one guy even slammed the door on us when he left.. 
pity i didnt get to say goodbye to Alex & Max.. sighz... 
19th Dec - nat went out with her friend.. so i stayed in the whole day.. saying good bye to those who were leaving tt day.. sighz.. sad sad day... loess left for home as well.. SAD SAD.. going to miss her... thibaud left in the morning but came back in the afternoon, poor fella.. cuz of the disruption in eurostar service, he couldnt go home.. and he was so excited.. but he did manage to go back home on Monday.. 
20th Dec - headed to Harrods with nat... then Zara, H&M..... shopping basically.. haha.. 
21st Dec - had fish & chips at London bridge.. then headed over to Borough Market.. i really do love Borough Market.. i love food places... haha... then went to watch the afternoon show of Mamma Mia... i didnt think it was as great as the film.. but it was enjoyable... watched Inglourious Basterds at  night.. :) 
22nd Dec - headed out to Covent Garden to do a little shopping... met up later with Liming & Lionel with the intention to ice skate at 4pm.. but well there went anymore tickets for 4pm.. so we got tickets for skating for a 10.30pm slot... I AM SORRY WHAT I MADE [info]epicflailer GO THROUGH.. :( ... i did have fun.. it was my first time skating.. and i must say i did pretty well.. SORRY NAT!!! I REALLY HOPE YOU HAD FUN OVERALL! :s
23rd Dec - today was nat's last day in London... *sad* stayed in pretty much in the morning.. packing... sent her off to the airport.. SAD SAD SAD.... NAT I MISSING YOU ALREADY!!! DO TAKE CARE!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
headed over to London Bridge to stay with Liming for the night.. went for dinner with Lionel & Liming then took a little walk along River Thames... slept at around 3ish.. we got into bed at 1.45am.. but only slept at 3ish.. hah. cuz we were just talking.. :)
24th Dec - sent liming to the airport... went for Avenue Q with lionel.. i didnt really enjoy it that much. but ok... then rushed back to London Bridge to get food stuffs for the xmas dinner on Christmas day.. THIS WAS NO EASY FEAT... supermarkets were either closing or there was not enough food stuffs available.. but we managed.. Collen & Cheryl arrived at around 10ish.. Lionel & I were just finishing dinner.. haha.. watched Sweeney Todd before going to bed.. :))

parents are coming up tmr... gosh and i am going to Heathrow Airport again.. i am traveled so often to Heathrow but i never left London.. haha... 
okok.. done with my update.. time to start preparing food for dinner.. ta~

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!! so Lionel, liming & myself just had Four Seasons for dinner.. and it is also on this night that i could not sleep AT ALL.. so i spent the night talking to some friends.. editing photos from Bath & Stone Henge trip.. and about 6ish, i started doing work. haha..

things arent the same anymore.. 
missing home.. 
missing people.. 
doing things differently.. 
having to adapt & change accordingly.. 
having to not expect anything from anyone.. 



it does frighten me at the thought that two months have passed and i have barely two months left..

celebrating my birthday and christmas here.. not with my family.. it's a different experience.. 
not expecting too much out of it.. my time spent here is already special enough, at least that is what i keep telling myself.

 just attended a bdae party for two friends on my floor.. it's their 18th birthday.. it was fun.. played pass the parcel.. first round was the normal one.. second round was the drinking & naughty tricks one.. 
it was fun. haha..
when i got the parcel the first time in round one, i got sweets... 
in round two, first time i got the parcel.. i had to arm wrestle a guy.. so i picked Daniel.. and obviously he won.. BUT THEN, i had a handicap.. so got to do it another time.. i got to use two hands. and i won.. haha.. so he had to drink up.. 
the next time i got the parcel, i am telling you it was a set up.. just before the music started played, penny  (one of the bdae girls) was asking me if i had a drink.. and i didnt have anymore since i finished my cup of champagne.. so she gave me a cup.. AND I GOT THE PARCEL.. set up!!! hahah.. well so i got the last layer, meaning i had to unwrap the final layer wrapping the parcel and do what i was supposed to do.. and i was supposed to down that cup of champagne using the drinking glasses (which was the parcel).. haha.. this was fun.. and i did manage it.. wait for a bit.. i will upload something when pictures do appear on facebook.. haha.. 
it was a fun evening.. went to the bar to get some cake. then took a shower and now i am laying on my bed... 

i had initially thought one of the guys who came was cute.. he was a friend of one of the bdae girls... i thought he was really charming larz.. ok charming, not cute.. but thinking abt it, and more looking at him, he isnt all that good looking after all.. hahah.. dunno what got into me.. i think it was the really nice mask he was holding.. lol.. 

went for STOMP earlier today.. AND IT WAS SO SO SO SO GOOD... it was really a fun thing to watch.. hahaha.. i really enjoyed it. worth my 20 pounds.. lol.. 

paid a visit to Bath & Stone Henge yesterday.. (literally paid a visit).. haha.. it was a good day.. but i didnt think it was worth the money i paid.. but it was a nice day.. could have been better.. but then again, could have been way worst. lol.. yes the positive thinking coming in.. never give up on that! 

okok.. now waiting for Devika to knock and watch criminal minds together.. 

till next time..

i refuse to do work today.. so i will update.. then watch criminal minds with devika! :)
winter is around the corner.. now the days are shorter.. by 5pm in the late afternoon, the sun has already set.. tt totally screws up my body clock and my perception of time.. haha.. i get hungry earlier at like 5.30 or 6pm ish.. then i check my watch, and see it is too early for dinner.. I WILL MANAGE THIS.. hahah...

i wanna update on this past month... or at least the stuff that has happened and i wanna rmb.. lol.. 
been doing a fair bit of travelling in the month of October.. doing a lot of tourist-y stuff... this post will not have pictures.. if you wanna see photos, go see my facebook.. ALL my photos are up.. many albums.. haha.. 

30th Sept: Green Park & Buckingham Palace.. 
2nd Oct: went to Ikea.. not quite the tourist-y thing.. haha.. but i had swedish meatballs!!
4th Oct: went to Hyde Park & Kensington Park
10th Oct: Liming's bdae.. so we went to Maddam Tussaud's & Regent's Park in the afternoon & Spitalfields for dinner. 
13th Oct: cheryl came down to London, so we went for Phantom of the Opera together.. GORGEOUS!!! and we saw Tower Bridge at night. :)
16th Oct: St. Paul's Cathedral & Tower of London visit.. 
17th Oct: Brighton with Lionel & Liming.. pretty pebble beach.. pretty sunset.. 
18th Oct: Windsor with Lionel & Liming.. our first ever castle visit.
24th Oct: Oxford with Lionel & Liming.. a clever place.. ahha.. 
31st Oct to 2nd Nov: Dublin with Cheryl, Collen, Ian, Liming, Lionel & Christine.. stayed in a crappy hostel.. but Dublin itself was pretty.. 
3rd Nov: witnessed the turning on of Christmas lights at Regent Street. got to see Colin Firth.. my cousin came down to London.. so met her for dinner.. had chinese food at Chinatown.. 
4th Nov: went to take the London Eye.. pretty sights.. :)
5th Nov: Bonfire night.. got to see fireworks!!!!! 

so i pretty much stayed in this weekend to rest.. cuz i really am mentally & financially exhausted from all that travelling etc.. .
and i think i am having a pretty good weekend so far.. haha... 

OH ALEX IS BEING MEAN!!! i wonder if he will read this.. BUT ANYWAYS HE IS BEING REALLY REALLY MEAN... 
HE MANAGED TO FIND OUT TT I HAVE AN LJ.. cuz i mentioned it before on my twitter.. i was so confident tt he wouldnt be able to find out my lj nick... BUT I WAS WRONG.. HE MANAGED TO DO TT using ljseek.. I DIDNT KNOW TT EVEN EXISTED... 
okok.. then i casually mentioned tt all the incriminating posts (if there even are any.. haha) are locked for either myself to read or for pple on my flist to read.. HE ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO CRACK TT.. THANK GOODNESS HE WASNT SUCCESSFUL! hahha.. 
so his reward for finding out my lj nick.. is some ben & jerry's ice cream.. 

ahha.. B&J was on promo.. buy one get one free.. so i got 2 pints for 3.99 pounds.. quite cheap right?! 

he made breakfast for me this morning.. Big English Breakfast.. 2 fried eggs, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms.. BACON (YUM!!!).. and toast.. it is the most i have had for breakfast in a long while.. haha.. might explain why i am not hungry yet (the time now is 2.40pm in the afternoon).. haha.. 
skyped my parents earlier on.. got a couple more recipes to cook chicken.. haha..
going to make rice omelete (or rice wrapped in omelete) for dinner.. 

yes i have picked up cooking.. bought oyster sauce a couple of weeks back.. so i am comign round to cook my own meals.. haha. instead of just putting stuff in the oven or microwave or even getting take outs.. ahaha.. 
made chicken with onions in oyster sauce the other day.. kinda screwed it up by adding too much water. but it tasted alright still.. 
had broccoli with mushrooms in oyster sauce last night for dinner. haha.. yes most of the things i cook will have oyster sauce.. :p

ok i think i am done with updating.. hahah.. i managed to sum up my past month.. (i think).. shld i recall anything else.. i will update.. hahaha.. since i am not goign to do anything much today.. hahaha.. 
listening to Elvis Presley.. smooth............... hahaha...

 ok this isnt the entry i wanted to update for the past month... I PROCRASTINATE... 
updating my life here takes a lot of effort... 

lemme share what happened at the bar earlier on.. 
tonight was Oktoberfest.. it was really lousy.. hahaha... 
so we went down to the bar.. i didnt get anything to drink... and i have totally lost my voice from coughing.. speaking is so hard.. so i resort to typing stuff i want to say and showing it to my friends for them to read.. 

me: i think i wont talk cuz of my voice. (no voice at all) -- i showed this to the pple around me.. 
alex (playful as he is, he also decided to type on his iphone): i wont talk to you either since you arent talking to me.. 
me: fine be that way. 
alex: bitch <<i think he picked this up cuz devika was calling me a bitch the other night and i called her a slut.. haha>>
me: well lionel wont talk to you either! (alex has this obsession with lionel.. and he doesnt know lionel.. i will explain this later below)
alex: haha.. i have his number.. 
me: i dont believe you.. but i have his singapore number! 
alex: i'll get his number from you phone and call him in singapore... 
me: YOU STALKER!!!
alex: Yes i am... 

haha.. so yes alex has this total obsession with lionel.. and he doesnt even know know lionel.. 
he has spoken to lionel before using my msn.. alex was acting as me and trying to convince lionel to go clubbing.. which is not like me.. so yes, alex was so amused tt he thinks he managed to fool lionel.. lol.. 
everytime i am texting, he would ask 'is that lionel?'... he thinks there is something going on between me & lionel but there obviously isnt anything.. he used my phone to text lionel before as well.. thank goodness it was nothing bad.. hahaha... 

life's good so far.. was up at brighton & windsor last weekend.. OK I WILL UPLOAD SOME PHOTOS OF SOMETHING TONIGHT... HAHHAH... 

been ill recently... runny nose... coming up with a cough... lost my voice.. rawrz...... 
i will do some updating.. then i will go to bed...

it's been two weeks since i moved in here.
had classes this past week.. or at least 3 days worth of classes.. haha..

week 1
monday: had my first lecture with KCL.. the module coordinator was a nice person.. however the lecturer who came in to give the lecture next wasnt all tt great.. he talked so quickly.. this is a year 2 module (for KCL side mapped to a year 3 module NUS side).. STRESS ARHZ!!!! hahah... the amount of content in the lectures.. :(
had dinner at lionel's hostel..

tuesday: i had my second lecture.. essentials of embryology.. it was an interesting lecture.. i mean i enjoyed the content of it. but some of the terminologies used are so foreign.. need to find time to pick up the textbook and give it a good read..
later in the evening, wanted to go to the kitchen to get some ham to eat.. then devika told alex tt i was just picking ham to eat. then alex made sure i sat down and ate one strip of bearded chicken.. i thought he wanted me to each one third.. since he cut them up.. but no, he made sure i ate the whole strip.. and he was staring to the extent it made me feel uncomfortable. haha.. but he was nice larz.. free food! :p

wed: I HAD NO SCHOOL TODAY... haha.. so i went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of guards & also to visit the State Rooms.. DAMN NICE!!!!!! quite unfortunately, photos werent allowed in the Palace.. you guys have to just take my word for it.. i will get around to uploading photos of outside the palace.. ahahha... after that, lionel, his three other friends & myself walked over to leicester square to visit chinatown.. after that had really lousy & expensive fish & chips for dinner.. then made it back to hostel.. i cannot rmb what we did tt night.. hahaha..

thursday: went over to lionel & liming's hostel for lunch.. microwave-able lunch.. then headed over to lectures together.. oh devika came over to my room to talk before i left for lionel's place..
had an awesome lecture in the afternoon.. the lecturer was GREAT!! i mean he really was.. he was so enthusiastic about his work.. he wasnt afraid to show it.. i enjoyed tt lecture a lot.. so after the lecture, he went up to speak to him.. cuz we were exchange students & needed an alternative assessment since we were leaving in dec.. guess what? WE DUN HAVE A FINAL WRITTEN EXAM!!! haha.. just two reports due.. :D
he was sharing with us about some of the concepts in Alice in Wonderland which he had enjoyed a lot.. haha.. you could see the excitement on his face!!! he was so excited to talk about it.. lol..
so after that, went to lionel's room to crash for a bit till after peak hour.. didnt want to pay the extra charge for peak hour..

friday: didnt have school again today.. so i went to Ikea with lionel & liming.. had swedish meatballs & haddock for lunch.. then came back to hostel.. joined the peeps in going to sainsbury to buy stuff for the mexican dinner we were going to have tt night.. haha.. it was a fun evening.. after dinner, headed out to Finchley Road for a walk.. had wanted to go to a bar nearby but tibo didnt have his ID.. so we couldnt do tt. then we headed over to hampstead instead.. two girls in our group had too much to drink.. i had this drink called Key West Cooler which looked really pretty.. three layers: Green (modori), Orange (Pineapple juice & Archers), Red (Cranberry juice & malibu)... also did an apple sourz shot.. came back to residence after that, talked a bit.. then i went back to my room & watched one epi of Leverage.. then went to bed..

saturday: today i think i am moving into Loess' room.. cuz they dun allow me to keep my room as it is for the same price i am paying.. then i dun want someone new new to come into my room now.. i am at this state of mind where i cannot accept new things.. haha..
sighz.. i like my room a lot..

i wil get around to updating with photos soon.. OK I WILL DO IT LATER TODAY... i will do a little update for my europe trip..
ok set!

ok as promised.. i will do an update of how my week has been..
it is officially been one week since i moved into Hampstead Residence.
and this is quite bad.. i only rmb stuff abt drinking.. i dun rmb anything else.. ahhaha.. jialat..

19th Sept:
Moving into Hampstead for the first time. took a London cab here.. the taxi driver hollered out to get someone to help me with my luggage. nice guy! :)
so i didnt have to carry my luggage at all today.. haha.. there was always someone to help me..
met this Malaysian guy doing law..
so moving in.. felt so lazy to go out for a walk.. so i just made maggi mee in my room with my portable cooker.
unpacked.. had lunch...
then i decided not to be lazy.. i dragged my ass out of my room and went for a walk along Finchley Road. did a bit of grocery shopping..
come back at 5ish close to 6.. then went for this welcome thing in the kitchen at 6.30pm.. met some of the other poeple staying on the same floor.. nice people.. had a free can of beer... then went to the bar downstairs for another drink.. ended by around 11ish..

20th Sept: 
had breakfast.. hmmz.. dun really rmb what i did on this day..
i know there was this pub crawl thing at night that i went for..
so we walked from the place we lived.. took a 20 min walk.. finally got to the first pub.. had a pear cider there.. then my group decided tt we wanted to ditch the rest of them and go take our own walk around the area.. and so we did.. haha.. went to a second bar.. and a third... then we headed back to the hostel.. played this card game.. then we headed out to Hampstead Heath at 12ish? one fella got pretty drunk.. he laid against the tree adn fell asleep.. lol.. so we decided to walk back..
there were 11 of us for this.
after a while, we realized we were missing two pple.. texted Loess.. she was with Daniel.. Daniel wanted to take another route back.. so they wondered off and sat at this bench. we thought they were ok at first..
hah..
so Alex & Heather took Andy (the drunk one) back first.. the rest of us got lost.. ahha.. thank goodness Alex called.. found us & walked us back.. so i texted Loess.. she said Daniel was napping.. we didnt like the sound of napping.. ahaha.. so we went to pick them up..
got back by around 2ish.. finally went to bed at 3.

21st Sept:
i had enrolment on this day.. so met liming & lionel for lunch at bond street. had wanted to do some shopping before that but well, failed. so we walked for abt an hour to get to the campus where we were to enrol..
after that, went for subway dinner with them.. headed back home..
was thinking of going clubbing with some of them.. had even borrowed a pair of heels.. but changed my mind cuz i was so tired..
so chilled out in the bar with the rest of the pple.. there was a wii tournament going on in the bar.. so played a bit..
i think we went out for a bit?

22nd Sept: 
orientation on this day... which was boring..
there was a cocktail party at the bar.. supposed to have a dressscode.. and i didnt have anything to wear.. but i ended up goign anyways.. i tell you.. i find it so hard to say no.. i need to learn.. hahaha...
so i went down to the bar.. had a drink.. then they wanted to head out to camden for more drinks..
so ok.. went with them..
went to this place called the good mixers.. nice place... but it closed at 11..
so we headed over to another place.. called Bartok.. this one needed ID to get it.. three of them went back cuz they didnt want to go & thibaud didnt have id..
alex, aaron, daniel, karen, teresa & myself stayed.. it was a nice place.. good music.. a bit expensive for the drinks.. but it was fun.. the place closed at 3.. so we headed back by bus.. daniel joined this other group to head out to another bar..

23rd Sept..
i spent the whole day in.. went to play table tennis with Alex & Loess..
then at night, we played board games in the kitchen.. haha..

24th Sept:
