Thank you for all the mail!

You know, receiving snail-mail gives me such a FANTASTIC feeling? I'm slowly filling up my room's cork board with letters and postcards friends and family have been sending me. It is really so heartwarming to see familiar handwriting, familiar return addresses. Every other day, I see my name on the list of people who have mail to collect from the reception. My heart skips a beat when I see my name and I am reminded of how ridiculously privileged I am to be receiving proper mail (not bills or advertisements) when my hall mates say, "Mail AGAIN, Lynn?! I don't get ANY mail!"

Then there are the e-mails from my family and friends. The loooong ones filled with so much information about what is going on in good friends' lives, as I reply with MY long e-mail, and sometimes ranting, of what is going on over here. Every morning, I wake up and switch on my laptop hoping to receive yet another friendly e-mail that never fails to cheer me up.

I also mustn't forget the weekly trips (Yes, ONCE A WEEK EVERY WEEK ever since I started school!) I make to the post office in Beeston to send letters to people. The people working in the post office have now become familiar faces to me. I'm not sure if I've become a familiar face to them though. Hmm... I think next week I shall endeavour to make conversation with them and befriend them.

So, to those who have been sending me e-mails and snail-mails, thank you so much. It always cheers me up, makes my day so much better.

(To those who haven't been sending me anything when you OUGHT to be sending me something.... tsk tsk. haha)

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...
