3rd day of CNY

It was an enjoyable 3rd day for me because I had a fantastically delicious lunch at my uncle's house with the rest of my mum's side of the family. Oh gosh the food was fabulous.

I also had a fun time discussing Korean drama serials with my sister and 2 cousins who are much older than me. One of them studied to be a lawyer and actually got the full qualifications to become a lawyer when she gave it all up, deciding instead to become a scriptwriter. So now she watches Korean drama serials as part of research. Meanwhile, my other cousin, who is her sister, watches it as part of leisure, like my sister and I. A discovery I made today was that her husband watches the drama serials with her too! My sister and I were quite surprised because it is rare to come across guys who actually watch Korean drama serials. What more, he was accommodating enough to RE-WATCH certain drama serials with my cousin! Aiyo he's so nice lah.

During dessert, I was talking to another cousin who was sitting nearby while we were discussing these drama serials and she said, "I think all of you can give a lecture on Korean drama serials already". Yeah, I think we can... ;)

Then we travelled to Uncle Daniel's house, where I played with a toddler (who mistook me for his mother because the moment he woke up, he came to me and hugged my legs! You should have seen his face when he looked up at me and realized he was hugging the wrong person!), carried a baby who's barely 1 month old (So cute! He slept so peacefully!) and fawned over yet ANOTHER baby who was so smiley.

We left for home, while I headed to my form teacher's house. I thought everybody would be on time but I ended up standing at the condo entrance for 20 minutes! My form teacher then called me and told me to go up anyway, which I did, but I definitely felt quite awkward. Thank God for his adorable daughter. When she first came up to me, I asked what was her name and she replied, "Isabel, I-S-A-B-E-L". It was so automatic. I could only think of this reply, "Wow you sure have good spelling!" :)

Here's a photo of the 11 of us with my form teacher and his daughter. We took it just before I left for dinner with my family.


Shucks, it's back to school tomorrow... Bummer.

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
