Sitting in the Chem Library

Mo started a tradition this week. Apparently, he wants to have dinner properly on a dinner table every night now. Last night, one of his housemates cooked chicken curry. It was very filling but absolutely delicious. Being typically brought up in HK, I'm not very good with spicy food. I tend to run for the nearest vat of milk. However, I'm proud to say that I managed to get through all the curry on my plate. Maybe my tolerance for spicy food is increasing. Will I try it out on a regular basis? Maybe not.

For some inane idiotic reason, the gloomy weather is really starting to get on my nerves. I seem to complain about it all the time now. The poor people who have to hang out with me. Maybe it's a sign of old age. Perhaps my next complaint will be something along the lines of creaking bones. I can just hear mom saying "At 20?! I think NOT!"

So today, I am sitting in the chem library with my housemate as the business library is far too depressing. The weather outside is still shit but at least it didn't rain on us on the way here. There were some relatively strong winds out there. We think it's a sign that we shouldn't be studying. One should never go against the goddess' will. Very hazardous to one's health as I'm sure we all agree. Still, here I am, bravely sitting in the library looking at my notes and twiddling my thumbs. Have I gotten much revision done? No. Will I? Probably not. Oh well, some things are just meant to be. I knew there was a reason why I should have stayed in bed today.

Returning to Routine

Back in Cardiff now and already I'm feeling the need for a change of scenery. Although I've managed to prolong my stay in Asia, I find that I'm not ready to come back to UK yet. Perhaps a break from Cardiff after the exams would help. Again, it's a temporary reprieve. It's all too obvious now that I'm way overdue for a one way ticket home. But then again, duty before preference right?

At Mo's house now. Poor thing's ill. It doesn't seem the same with ppl missing and on holiday. Tam, oh Tam, get your ass back here NOW! It's so unfair that so many of my friends have no exams this semester. *sigh* Soon, I'll be on my way to see Kaoru, etc.

Foz came by yesterday. It was good to see him again. I didn't realize how much I missed his company over the holidays. We did the whole 'catching up' thing and then of course, made him come grocery shopping with me. Again, he didn't let me carry my bags for fear that I'd permanantly damage his shins. *grins* Some things will never change.

Rhod and I went to 'A Shot in the Dark' last night. I really like it there. Very pleasant to just sit,chill and chat. Then of course, my jet-lag came crashing down on me and I sort of needed to go home and die.

I miss being home, miss my mom and my siblings. What comforts me is that I'll be back again soon. Easter is not so far away...

Weary thoughts

I leave for Cardiff on Thursday morning. The winter break is over and yet it seems like I've only just arrived in SG. *sigh* How quickly time passes when you're having fun...

We just got back from spending the weekend in KL yesterday after attending my cousin's wedding. The trip was a whirlwind of events from spending time at the day spa with my lil sister to falling over from heat and exhaustion at my cousin's wedding ceremony to being highly embarassed at the banquet by his wedding video and then rushing to the hospital with his grandfather. Man, I was tired by the end of the weekend. Thankfully, things seem to sort itself out and grandfather is much recovered now.

Unfortunately for me, it means the end of my hoiday and the beginning of my exam period. I miss my friends in the UK but still... *sigh* Sometimes, I feel like I'm torn between reality and fantasy. Then again, who's to say what's real and what's not?

Monsoon Season

This is going to be short as I am in no mood for writing... Anyone notice the lack of blog entries these days? :P Anyway, a quick Thank You to those of you who were worried enough to call or message; especially Tom, CB and Gaz. It was very sweet of you all and I really appreciate the thought.

Tsunami aside, my winter break was brilliant and although Andy wasn't there to join us, we had loads of fun. I think all of us missed him cause his name kept on coming up in conversations. As reluctant as I am to leave Asia, I will be returning to Cardiff shortly to finish my studies.

I wish you all the best of health and happiness for 2005. Take care and stay safe.
