It's February! (New MONTH's resolution?)

Yesterday, every time I wrote the date on my lecture notes I would turn to the person sitting next to me, which always seemed to be Janice, and say, "It is ALREADY February!" I know I keep repeating this phrase but, I just cannot help saying it, time is FLYING PAST us!

Well, now that we have entered this new month of year 2008, I resolved to start running regularly again. So this morning, I woke up, had a cup of milo and a muesli bar, stretched, then jogged around the lake. The temperature was zero degree celsius, what with this weekend being a particularly cold one, so I actually put on my thermal wear under a tee and hoodie, and out I went. When I first woke up, I checked the temperature and found it to be in the negative! But I told myself that I cannot procrastinate anymore, and so I went anyway.

One problem though, I left my track shoes back home in Singapore. As a result, I had to jog in my sneakers, which, I think, did not give me enough support so after doing one round around the lake, which took me about 15 minutes, my right ankle was hurting! I wanted to do another round but I was worried about the ankle so I returned to the hall. I need to get track shoes! Last night, I was asking my female hall mates whether they had track shoes to lend me if they were of the same shoe size as me, but they were either of a smaller size than me, or had no track shoes. I must go into the city centre and see how much track shoes cost here. I am determined to start up on regular running again!

In other more random matters, I had a Constitutional law lecture on Thursday that began with Professor Mowbray showing us an article of a judicial review case that took place IN NOTTINGHAM! You can read it here. I just found it very, very cool that what we were learning now in lectures was taking place in real life here in Nottingham, the very place I am studying in now! (It's ok if you are not as excited as me about this.)

I will end off this rather incoherent entry with photos taken recently:

At Sukho Thai for dinner on Sunday, the week before last (the day that Erica and Ryan left).

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...
