Fun on Thursday!

haha! what day it was yesterday! had an excellent dinner, prepared entirely by yeemeng and me. fried rice with diced pork and egg, and black pepper celery with minced beef! take a look!

masterful chefs eh?! haha! that's two great dinners in a row for the two of us! the night before we had this chinese dinner gathering thing. rather ad hoc but it turned out really well! yeemeng's prc flatmate is a REALLY great cook! she and yeemeng did most of the cooking and with a lack of space to house the 6 (incl. joanna's friends) of us, i opened my room for the dinner and we had a mini buffet of sorts. it was cosy and good fun! and REALLY GOOD food!

after our fried rice dinner, yeemeng and i went with a few other friends to the graduate club for this oriental party thing. irony was that they played english r&b, but it was fun for me anyway..ym didn't seem to enjoy it too much but i did anyhow. here are some pics!

Don't Wait - Dashboard Confessional

The sky glows
I see it shining with my eyes closed
I hear your warnings but we both know
I'm gonna look at it again

Don't wait,
Don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

You get one look
I'll show you something that the NIGHT took.
A bit to early for my own good
Now let's not speak of it again

Don't wait,
Don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

Don't wait,
Don't wait
The lights will flash and fade away
The days will pass you by

Don't wait
To lay your armor down

What a song to listen to walking thru the freezing rain and thinking abt where i am now.

back at warwick!

well, all the sad departure issues are out of the way. and i came back to tocil 51 to "u're back!! u're not flying back again are you?" haha cos not.. not till 7 and a half mths later! it was a really nice flight. lots of empty seats arnd me and i slept most of both trips. it's true what i wrote before... "Which then feels like reality? Having it all blur away on one voyage's slumber.. Leaving us with a bittersweet longing.." really surreal..

anw, i'm back in my room again and decided to put up some photos! the first one's of the sweet ppl who came down to send me off! and the rest are views from my window. weather's really lovely now. drizzled a while ago but the sun's shining really bright, yet it's a chilly 19 degs in my room (windows open) and the air's dry. MOST IMPTLY, NO SMOKESCREEN. sorry guys bk in spore.. guess that's one bit abt spore i won't miss. and the last photo is, of me in my room back in sg, and it's really sad cos i won't be seeing it anymore...=(

leaving on a jet plane

all my bags are packed, i'm.....NOT READY TO GO!!!!!!!!

sigh. sorry. i hate this song but yea. it's become the default song they play at airports. irritating musak when everyone's feeling all wept and torn. the strains of bloody chantel start coming on in everyone's heads. ugh.

ok firstly, this is a promise that i am reviving this blog and will try to blog at least once a week. might add video clips that i can upload to youtube. that said, i'm really going to miss a lot of people. who should i start with? why, family of course..

flying to uk has always just been an airy fairy dream ever since picking up that ucas form. and without a scolarship it just hung thinly somewhere at the back of everyone's heads. but sincerely, i'm really really grateful to my parents for forking out the cash to send me. and i guess i got so comfortable with them all these years i never thought i'd miss them this bitterly. and my sister too! never thought i'd say this! yea u irritated the hell outta me with the everyday msging when u were in china (i promise myself i won't be like that), but comparatively, it is a lot nicer having u around. even if we don't talk everytime we're in the house, but it's just more complete knowing u're there. and yea i'm really happy for u that u got that into R&T..

and then all my friends(the non uk ones..u uk ppl are not worth missing at the moment cos i'm gonna see all of u really soon! hahahaha) right..there's shaun (9 mths and a baby yea?!), ahmad (gonna miss counting virgins for u), lisa (bishi bashi champ! we still have that marathon to complete!), alvin tan (don't challenge bengs anymore yea? but oh i don't miss u too much too cos u're coming to travel europe pretty soon haha!), daryl (i'm still feeling nauseous from all that corpse talk), amos (same as tan..won't miss u too much! haha), yuzhi (fetch! bite! KILL!), aaron (we'll reserve the pradas and oakleys soon yea?), charmian (hopefully keira knightly finds her lost items), CJ (we gotta do tt orchard roaming thing more), dalena (turn over a *ahem NEW *ahem leaf. 1st rate leaf.), maryann (study hard and go to med school! but dun start talking corpses with me) who else am i leaving out? the aunty and uncle at the road side shop-- haha bollocks! hopefully i didn't leave anyone out. if i did, u have to wait till next summer to shoot me for it!

to all the army guys, i have my pink ic!! happy counting down! oh yea! nearly forgot the army dudes..shung keat, pompidou, max, perry, david, oliver, gonna miss u guys! brotherhood yea? (dump your girlfriends dammit--oh that's just perry and pompi. hahah)

alright this is too much finality. please rmb that i'm still on the face of this earth. just ermm the reverse side. wait i'm on the front side. u all are on the backside. there that sounds better. i'll be 7 hrs behind so all of u whom i usually chat with online, prob will catch u at weirder times (if u dun already stay up at weird times) and my hp no. in the uk is +44 788 785 7105. if u're in the uk u can leave out the +44 and add a zero in front. u can still sms me. i'll try to do my christmas cards early this yr. so ermm will be collecting addresses pretty soon.

alright. if you are planning to come to the uk, do drop me a call/sms/msn/email so we can meet up. can put up at my place if ya want...gonna miss all of you so so so much. as much as i hate it, it's sucha rush. excuse me. i dun mean i hate going to the uk. it's just that it's a given that i'm going so that just leaves the leaving bit that's a bitch. oh yea but i hate air travel. i hope there aren't any fat snot-spraying PRCs on the flight again. hi? the toilet's there for a reason? it should fit u i think?!

arh all the ranting. i'm just nervous i guess. 8 mths really..nov dec jan feb mar apr may jun! can't wait to see everyone again. just don't change so much i can't recognise u all. i'll try to come back with a weird british accent to piss all of u off (y'olwrite lisa?)! hahaha.

oh yea...gonna miss my house too. shifting in may, so effectively this is my last day seeing this house of 20 yrs. sniff. gonna miss this place. but u know wot i won't miss? the bloody weather. i'm sorry u guys have to continue sniffing this shit indonesia's farting out at us. and the humidity. dammit. ok this is getting lengthy. i'm ending this here.

keep in touch guys! if your name is up there, i love u all! if your name isn't, ermm we'll talk about it next summer ;)
