Weekend

It is a Sunday yet again, and I find myself at the computer blogging, because my TV space has been taken up by my parents and 2 visiting relatives.

Here are a few things I just want to put into words so that, somehow, there won't be a chance for my memory to fail me such that that event/experience that I'm trying so hard to remember fades away with time.

Friday (11 May):
- Coming to realize that life is so short and unpredictable: We all got a fright of our lives when Sheryl heard and then spread the news of a plane crash and fire in an army facility in Taiwan. We were so worried for Daniel's safety. On Saturday, he called me in the late morning just to reassure me that he is all right.
- That one-and-a-half hour telephone conversation with Jien.

Saturday (12 May):
- At our usual Saturday morning breakfast together, Tina and I were walking towards the counter to order our breakfast when I noticed that she was wearing the Sainteria PE t-shirt. It occurred to me that I could be wearing the Sainteria tee too. So I tapped Tina on the shoulder and asked her, then turned around for her to check. Yes, I was wearing the same tee as her! I think what made me feel like remembering this small thing is that, it was such a silly moment. I didn't even know what t-shirt I was wearing as I walked out of the house. I had to ask Tina if I was wearing the same thing as her... (I forgive you if you don't find this amusing)
- Having dimsum lunch with my parents and brother at Great World City Crystal Jade for the third time in something like four weeks. Aiya, no harm done. I can never get sick of dimsum. In fact, I better eat as much dimsum as possible before I have to fly over to the UK.

Sunday (13 May):
- Nothing as yet. However, tonight we're going for a steamboat-buffet-Mother's-Day-dinner with a new family friend. Should be interesting.

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...
