Midweek Entry
The past few days have been... cold. The temperature range in Nottingham has been 2-11 degrees celcius. Fortunately, the sun has been shining very brightly in the afternoon so you only feel the cold if you are in the shade or if you leave your fingers uncovered out in the open for awhile. But, I'm liking the cold. Or more like I'm liking the part about having to wear jackets, I like wearing jackets because that way, I can wear anything I like on the inside, repeating it as many times as possible without peeople noticing;)
Yesterday, I read an sms from jiejie Aileen asking if I had already eaten the frozen dimsum I had bought from Birmingham on Sunday. She suggested that I eat it quickly because I should not keep it for more than 48 hours. So, I asked John if I could "borrow" his mini kitchen in his room during our 3-hour break between lectures at lunch time. John generously agreed and so, after having a quick lunch at Portland Building, Po Yew and I went over to John's room to cook. The rest were either too full or weren''t interested in having dimsum.
Out of the 3 boxes of dimsum I bought, which consisted of 'siew mais', 'char siew baos' and 'xiao long baos', the 'siew mais' tasted the best. (I only have a photo of the cooked 'siew mais' because John had opened the packet before I remembered to take a photo of it)
Even though the 'char siew baos' looked the most authentic and promising, they came out the worst, and therefore, most disappointing. Why, you may ask? Well, we wanted to try the microwave. So John sprinkled some water on the 'char siew baos', then placed them into the microwave. They came out smelling nice, EXACTLY like what a char siew bao should smell like, but they were hard. Crispy even.
Oh well. I'm still very happy I got to eat SOME form of dimsum, thereby satisfying my dimsum craving. For the time being.
This other shot I took of John (on the right) and Po Yew (on the left) as we were walking back to our halls on Monday after our last lecture. Both of them are wearing the same colour of our school jumper and they are both carrying black bags. And both their hair is a little spiky so... they looked really alike, haha. If you think this isn't a good enough reason to take and post this photo then erm... take this opportunity to admire the law school car park.
Ok, I'll end off my entry saying that I'm really missing LSBC. I got back to my room just now and got this email from Wan Hui containing the photos taken from the Leaders' Planning Retreat that took place on 20th October. This photo got me looking at all the faces of my friends who are leaders in the YPM, missing them. Missing LSBC. Missing the whole idea of fitting into and feeling comfortable in a church. Missing the LSBC worship ministry.
Oh crap. I'm just gonna go continue my battle against the mountainloads of reading I have to do.
Tomorrow: First tutorial, ever. Wish me luck.
