I WANT TO GO HOME FOR CNY

For the first time ever in my life, I will be missing Chinese New Year. And it feels terribly weird.

John was just commenting that he wished we did not have school tomorrow, the first day of Chinese New Year. Yet, if we think about it, even if we did not have any lectures or tutorials on tomorrow, there will not be any CNY-ish thing to do in the first place, so what is the point of not having school on the first day of Chinese New Year, if it was even remotely possible.

Tonight, the Singaporean Year 1s will all be gathering at Yun's Cantonese Restaurant in Beeston for our own Reunion Dinner, probably followed by a Dessert Party afterwards at Broadgate Park (The ironing room outside John or Janice's room, haha), as we did previously. Yang's parents sent him some CNY goodies such as pineapple tarts and pork floss, and I think he will be bringing those to the dinner as well for us to enjoy.

Over the weekend, I think there will be some fireworks displays put up at the Lakeside Arts Centre, so we will probably go and catch that just to feel like we are actually celebrating something! And then on Friday, FB is having its monthly themed night and yesterday, the chef told me at breakfast that the theme is going to be Chinese in view of Chinese New Year. I bet the Chinese food served will not be fantastic, but at least they are making an effort to help us "celebrate"/remember Chinese New Year - a very nice thing to do.

I need to get used to missing CNY, isn't it? This is going to happen for the next two years as well!:(

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...
