I'm here! Just felt like blogging so here i am.
Its the middle of Lent Term now where all the work is slowly starting to pile up and i can notice the subtle changes in my friends! no more partying till the wee hours of the morning for my neighbours (amen to that!) and less outings etc.
My social life is quite boring, i can say. havent gone to any raves/parties so far. although there are a couple of room parties and chit chats. on thursday we went to ben's room to drink some alc. it tasted quite good and i drank quite a bit! then we had htht-s and played lotsa songs then i started singing/bawling really loudly haha but nothing too much. when i reached my room i got a lil tipsy and had a headache. i think my slanted floor had a part to do with it.
My sleeping habits are quite weird, i sleep a lot during the day and get active during the night! i definitely need to be more productive in terms of studying. i have been finding myself rushing deadlines! the feeling of submitting an essay at 23 56 when the deadline is 0000 and preparing a presentation at 1348 at a 1400 meeting is exciting but definitely not good for the heart/mind.
Now that i have stayed quite a long time overseas, I am finding things a routine. Routine can be good but sometimes boring. so you can definitely find me walking in different routes, exploring new places etc. i recently read someone's blog. she's asian and moved to london too. even though we are approx in the same situation, she seems to be having a lot of fun, making full use of her time! i wish i can see things from her pov..
Did i say that they're gonna take 4+ months to repair the lift? seriously... British efficiency.. for the horrendous exorbitant rent that i am paying in this quite-shitty hall, i think they should give us a refund! its such a chore to do laundry esp when i am on the highest floor and gotta go up and down and up and down etc during the cycle. and now, ive lost the motivation to go down for breakfast already. once im up, i'll never go down. minimizing effort. you have no idea.
Time is passing really quickly and i have so many things to do! I still dont know if i'll regret not doing 'that' (secret), since it'll be good and all but i'll have no time to myself. i find my current commitments more than enough already. need to learn how to manage my time properly. and keep fit! i am turning into flabs and that aint fab you know. aim: gonna make a use outta my free 2 weeks gym membership from o2 haha.
as a student living on a budget, ive been eating self-made salads quite frequently. i'm no jamie oliver, but i can say im quite creative at making yummy healthy salads, given that ive no kitchen facilities in this shitty hall! except for the microwave which is everyone's best friend. i secretly derive pleasure from walking past my hallmates with my 'treasure' while they salivate and look at what i've made. BUT there exists this bastardy fridge thief who steals stuff. never mind about that. but at least do it properly right! Many times, i have found my unopened ham and plastic bag of food savagely ripped across the middle, when all they could have done with less effort was to untie the loose knot. seriously.. have to resort to asian looking dirty dodgy plastic bags tied with rubber bands x3 you get the idea..
Okay i wish the sleeping monster would not keep finding me to hang out. i seriously sleep too much and get sleepy too easy. and i get distracted very easily. adhd??
The weather's turning better now and i can wear less layers! though im kinda sad i only saw 2 snow-falls last year. stupid humid warm london. it amazes me how i can say 'oh its so warm today! 5 deg!' when i was dying when i first arrived and it was 15 deg.
Sometimes, i really miss home. my family, some of my cousins, my good friends and biatches, my duudes etc. i really miss cheap good food. london aint no food paradise. good food comes at a price, and cheap food is just laden with fats and tastes crap. cheri's salads are good...
Okay long term plan for this term: buy airticket, find house for next acad year, plan easter/pre summer hols in europe, plan things to do in sg during summer, study and be ahead of schedule. backlog is not good!!!
ttyl ;)
