Flashback: Post-Exams: Saying Goodbye


Friday night after my disastrous (and I'm not being over pessimistic or ultra negative here. Just being realistic) Contract paper, I returned to FB feeling absolutely lousy and tired. I was feeling very unwell and had reached the point of hunger where I was no longer hungry. Dinner had just ended in FB and so they were no longer serving any more food. I returned to my room with Erica, Tzen, Stephanie and Trang as company. We were all supposed to go meet Remi and Emmanuelle for the last time before they returned to their homes in France the next day, since the two of the are exchange students as well, just like Erica. In the end, I didn't go for that little gathering, whereas the other four of them did go to the FB bar for a little while.

Ok, I'm just going to let the photos speak for themselves, feeling too tired to be detailed.

Saturday: Erica's last trip to Nottingham City Centre, hanging out at Starbuck's before the Farewell Dinner, the Farewell Dinner at Flaming Dragon.

Sunday: Erica's 20th birthday surprise in FB (A few hours later, she left for Beeston train station with Ryan), dinner with the Singaporeans at Sukho Thai.

We took one or two photos in Sukho Thai but I haven't transferred them into my mac yet, so, no photos! However, it was good just to get out of the hall. I was actually perfectly all right staying in the hall, but I think Tzen really needed to get out and have some fresh air, hang out with a whole bunch of happy people, because she seemed more affected than me about Erica's departure. It made me appreciate fun, supportive bunch of Singaporeans I get to hang out with.

Ok, I skipped today's one and only lecture because Angie and Po Yew chased me away after lunch, saying that I should just come back to FB and sleep. So, sleep is exactly what I will get. I had every intention of calling the doctor today to book an appointment, but Angie was saying there's not much use because they would NEVER prescribe antibiotics for me unless I'm on the verge of death and my appointment would only be four to five days later. So, I'm just going to sleep and let my body continue fighting. Although I'm running out of medicine to self-medicate, i.e. I have no more Panadol: Cold Relief.

Yes, all right. Sleeping time.

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...
