home!!!! :D

pour desmond (haha tink he dun haf my blog add):

KLM rocks sia.. i tink i prefer it to emirates.. at least the seat in front of me is big enough to squeeze in my laptop case and my backpack.. and the food smells gd enough for me to finish it :) big accomplishment fr me k!! it was pasta, and smoked salmon and veg salad (cant decipher wad salad it is.. dunno if its onion or leek cant taste), then almond n chocolate cake, and chocolate, and a fortune cookie :D yum.. the seats have a headrest.. supposedly can bend the corners up and then it'll support yr head -- but sorry la.. i cant reach.. the bottom of the headrest is at the middle of my head :S

ok.. on everythg else since sat:

it's like a mad rush lor..empty room go desmond's there slack a while b4 leaving warwick.. my luggage is rather heavy--24kg (i found tis out only at the airport).. so ya can imagine how horrible it was lugging up n down trains n bus and pull it ard (uk and its lack of escalaters :( ) so by the time i reach coventry's train station my hands all damn tired le.. n ya the worst is the tube la.. so bad gotta ma fan samantha to carry for me too.. thanks gal..

n den ninghan- being ninghan- wasnt ard to pick me up.. n so she sent hock boon down.. lucky im in london w/ enough ppl who noes me.. can u imagine if i m nt fr warwick n go somewhere like warwick where i've only 1 fren? den she cant make it to pick me up = i slack there wait till she comes lor.. den again.. other than ninghan.. no one else will do tis ;P

bez part was when i was waving to hock boon.. den samantha say sth like xiao nan hai or xiao hai zi.. im rather bemused.. :D oh well.. but hock boon was a gd host.. carry luggage for me (ok tat's kinda expected) and then show us rd the area and let us throw stuff in his rm and explore his block a bit.. i kinda like the hses there cuz the ceilings are HIGH!!! v v high.. like a gd few meters higher than warwick's.. so nice... ahha.. den samantha was a bit late to meet her fren so we walk w/ her to the place and den went off..

and ning han being ninghan.. say wanna meet me at 430 or 5.. tink ended up seeing her at 6.. so me n hock boon went walking rd the area lor (high street or sth).. n i finally went into argos.. haha the shop quite interesting la.. haha can see quite a few things i'd buy if i m willing to fork out the money..

anw.. finally met ninghan.. as usual she's v loud haha.. den we went down w/ hock boon to King's College where there's tis xmas party thgy organized by the Overseas Christian Foundation.. there were tons of singaporeans there.. n met chuan xin there again (oh chuan xin me n samantha went down to london tog).. the food was MARVELLOUS :D haha got all sorts of food -- sushi fried rice pasta cakes.. best of all is the krispy kremes :D

before the speech there was a skit.. it felt so wrong to hear the singlish in a chapel.. and the singlish is nt like singlish singlish.. it's like (ok tis will sound degratory but oh well) me acting in drama fest trying to speak pro english (tat kind of accent) but in singlish.. haha ok no one will ever understand tis.. but anw the pt was it was damn off.. and it was super duper boring.. n i dun get the point of it at all (at least nt in the 1st half which is like 30 min).. after the dinner and a few more leng xiao hua there was the 2nd half of the skit (*faint).. after that its testimonials by 2 guys on why/how they converted (i tink).. i slept thru the whole chunk :X damn tired la.. cant keep awake.. and den there was a medley of xmas songs and then end (thank god.. but i really stone by then)

n then it's out to the cold london streets.. haha its quite nice but i was cold n tired.. n hock boon was tinking gd la.. i'll c london thames river at nite.. unlike wad i shd have seen.. but unfortunately.. i was at thames river at night the last time i came.. tho i was on the other side.. but still.. haha.. ninghan still wanted to walk on.. but i was seriously tired n knee hurting n freezing.. if it's juz me n ninghan i'll juz let her n cont walking.. but luckily hock boon saved me :D he was like jasmine half dead liao u tis host y so bad.. ahha n so we went back to imperial again for me to bathe..

n den we went to crash tis guy called daryl's rm.. i was planning on showing them my pics la.. but ninghan fell asleep like 1/2way thru my pics..so i ended up talking to daryl lor.. until more ppl came den i was like dun really noe wad they talking abt so i juz chatted on msn :D quite funny some ppl actually tot i m back in spore le..

daryls rmmate came back at ard 2+ n so we moved over to the common area (wait.. imperial is actually quite gd.. better than lse.. got pool rm tv room common rm etc etc).. then they started talking (got abt 5 of us) and i slept n slept.. wake up c them still talking den sleep again.. till 4am den go to ninghans rm n sleep all the way till 10+ i tink..

imperial has FREE BREAKFAST(!!!!) every sun.. with lotsa spreads.. haha but me n ninghan wan some er ren shi jie so we din go down.. n den left to tube station to meet zhaoqun n meixue..we only had lunch den hadta rush to airport le..

aiyah fr then it was damn screwed.. haha some stuff tat i can only tell most intimate girl friends.. and then i found tat my luggage was 24kg n she din let me in.. so i gotta open my luggage and dig out stuff.. :S den rush in got on plane..phew.. was searching for beer to buy back for kor throughout the day but somehow or other all the shops i go to dun sell beer..

n den reached amsterdam.. tot 1h juz nice for transit-- but it's TOO SHORT!!! by the time i got outta the plane n walk buy food n go toilet i hadta RUSH to get on the plane.. n it's another 12 + h back..

n i never ever guessed tat i'd b SO HAPPY to c pulau ubin :D it's like 10 min b4 i land i m still over JB.. n im like y so slow one.. haha cant sit still once i c P. Ubin.. n den changi airport itself.. it'll b nice if i c the aerial view of the island b4 i land rather than juz the airport itself.. but nvm.. i was so hyper tat once i get off i needed to call ppl to tok to.. hmm but qy nv pick up, sharon hung up on me cuz she was at the docs and only melissa entertained me :D thanks gal hope u din get scolded..

on the way down the plane i heard tis kid say 'wah very hot here leh' in the very singlish tone.. n i said to myself 'home sweet home'.. haha was still deliriously happy all the way until i was queuing up to pay for wines/beer and was blocking the way (cuz of all my bags etc) and i got shoved n pushed n someone told me rather rudely to move aside.. and then while i was crossing the road tis car honked me.. haha den i snapped out of my think-that-singapore-is-the-best mode and saw singapore w/ all the pros n cons again..

quite not used to all the big cars.. haha they looked too big.. n ya my dad confiscated my driving license (i havent even seen it yet) n i m nt allowed to drive AT ALL :(
