Perhaps someone will be willing to step up and make their 'reminiscing' post. Haha, wonder what did you guys feel during our time together since 2005. I'll just be blurting out random stuff, so bear with me ya.
London is a great place to be studying in. After a month or so of being in London, I was able to adapt to almost all aspects of life here. Eating out in London is very much more expensive than making your own meals. After about a month or so of eating out, my roommates and I have began cooking our own meals. Split among 3-4 ppl, an average meal would cost each of us about GBP 1.50. This is very cheap, especially when the supermarkets sell products at half-priced and so on.
The weather is becoming increasingly cold. From the delightful 10degrees(this is considered warm), it is now -4 degrees at coldest. When the wind blows, and you don't have any gloves or scarf on, it will be pure torture.
One of the good thing about London is that there are parks everywhere. Every couple of blocks, and there will be a 'green-area' where there are trees, walkways, and benches to sit. Some of the bigger parks will have ponds. It's not very pretty now, in the middle of the winter, but during the spring/summer, it will be great to sit under the sun with your lunch in hand.
At the beginning of last month, many of my hallmates were leaving back to their home countries. It was quite a sad feeling seeing everyone pack and leave happily, to meet their family and friends while I'll be staying here during the hols. No choice but to bear with it for 6 more months. Hopefully i'll be able to return home early June. Otherwise it would be at the end of the month.
Over the last month, made quite a few calls to family and friends. Dam good to hear their voices again. Found out quite a bit of news of happenings among some of them. Hehe.. Didn't know i was so outdated. Can't wait to return home and hang out. STPM is over and you guys are now advancing to the next stage of your life. Some of you even started work already. Heh, we are no longer kids rite...
Well, during my times of down and loneliness, I turn to something great.
This is definitely the 2nd best thing ever. The best is of course the real thing =). I don't think i've said it, but i truly appreciate this. Thank you. I won't post any pics of it's contents tho, pls excuse me for being a bit selfish =) haha.. will show it to you guys next time =PNothing much comes to my head right now, so don't think i will be able to blog anything interesting. =/ I'll take my leave then, take care guys, see you during the summer!
Happy New Year!
2009!!!
