*sigh*

can you hear the sigh of relief now tt i've gone past the test+assignment week? can you also hear the sigh of sorrow that my friend now probably hates me? i don't even now what i did, but he's just ignoring me and treating me as someone transparent since fri night. Thought tt he'ld be ok ystday, but i guess not. something happened to him, hope he'll be fine soon.

went portsmouth (the place where my sis attended uni) for some shopping and sightseeing with jacky, terrence and perry ystday. beautiful & breezy place with stuff that is so much cheaper than in surrey!! they have a market there, retailing cheap stuff. so tempted to buy fruits, but it'll be heavy. did some shopping, but only bought a pair of boots and pairs of socks. wanted to get clothes but it's still out of my budget. even though those are factory outlets, but we're still talking branded things. nike, adidas, clark, burberry, ralph lauren, etc. oh, and I went to the cadbury outlet and bought some chocs. shall show u a pic of it when i do the grand opening ceremony!




I just HAD to take a pic with my sis's uni name on it

took some photos at the spinnaker tower, which is in the shape of the sails in the wind. most of the good pics are in terrence's powerful camera though, can't show them to you yet.

in the evening, we went into the casino! 1st time in my life, i get to step into a casino..(i got rejected entry when i went to genting). unfortunately, perry & jacky lost their money, only terrence won some! and he generously used his winnings to buy us ice cream as a treat ( : thank you! and on wednesday, when jacky went to town to attend a court hearing ( not his. it's for his law assignment!), he dropped by marks & spencer and bought me mint chocs. super nice of him too!

when we returned at night, perry was tired and went home.. whereas the other 3 of us trooped to ter's place to watch naruto & whose line is it. lovely end to a wonderful weekend.











absolutely scrummy-miticous chocolate shop. jacky bought a choc-coated strawberry fondue (see fountain on left), and ter bought fudge ( see blocks of flavours on the right!)


















my shopping. socks, choc bar, boots and a pack of mixed flavoured chocs!










anyway, I shall post the other lovely pics up rrreeeal soon, so stay tuned, folks~

Annnnd, it's now week 8 of school. Oh dear! it's true, i haven't blogged for so long! ( 3 weeks, to be exact).

Many things have happened back home in sgp, such as changes in my prev workplace and the death of someone dear to one of my gfs. I do offer my condolences, and that i can't be there for her.

Yup. So what's been happening? let's see.. went to the union to drink on a friday 2 weeks back. perry got stoned pretty quick back then, and puked up everything. *laughs* but at least he was ok pretty soon. the night wore on and aft it closed at 3am, we (ter, perry, jacky & i) went to take some photos at the cathedral. was cold but real fun!









it's Friday the 13th! Freaky Jacky! *laughs*


















Me, Ter & Perry (we cld't feel it at all, but appparently it's drizzling! fine droplets of water. spoilt many of our pics though..)

Went to Bath and Bristol last weekend, visited the roman baths and went to see the suspension bridge at bristol.












































Let's see.. had a fantastic week of great food once again..*chubby cheeks* seriously, i think i juz went up a dress-size! shit! There was stir-fried noodles, ed's yummy roast lamb, have yet to try jacky's bak ku teh (with proper pork) since it's still in the fridge, had chinese buffet after a trip to crowdon to shop at ikea and winsgate-a chinese supermarket.

After dinner on fri night, we had mooncake and then went to a classroom in AC blk to watch movies altogether.. watched silent hill, and re-watched Saw 1, which ended ard 4am+. slept till early afternoon and mugged for the rest of the day for my test on mon.

Following which, hot pot dinner! 12 of us squeezed into the small kitchen at uni court, and enjoyed a sumptious dinner. Once again, we had some mooncake and by then it was alrdy 11pm. 4 of us started mahjong and got issy & maine started on playing mahjong. *yay!* hahha.. cheryl totally fits the part of a mahjong tai tai with her jade bangle and gold bracelet ( : sweeeet! joy luck club~!









It's properly autumn now, the days fluctuate at approx 18degrees C? and nights are about..8-9degrees C. The leaves are starting to turn yellow and red too! There you go.. the big tree's leaves are yellowing...spot the small tree on the extreme right? they're red already!


















ohh..and i fell down when walking back to my room on tues night? was real tired from mugging and tripped on my slipper. snapped this pic on a whim.. heheh.











So this was how i spent my week, slacking, playing and eating. Really gotta dedicate my time to my mugging, esp since i failed my micro test. can't afford to screw up macro.

wish me luck.
