Happy Little Wonders

I've been playing with the idea of getting a Pro Flickr account. 20MB is just not enough for all my photos. But then, it is good in some ways because then I really pick and choose which photos I should display. I don't like how I only get to create 3 sets as a normal user though... Sigh.

It is freezing outside. Although today's weather was relatively pleasant, in the non-rainy sense. Took a walk down to the beach with Caitlin and took some very pretty pictures. Unfortunately I ran out of space on Flickr before I could upload them. Will upload as soon as it's December though, which isn't too far off. Maybe I'll put one here first.

















Tada!! Isn't the sea just BEAUTIFUL?? I love it. All those pinky clouds... *happy sigh* Sometimes it's nice to take a walk down to the beach when things get too grey in Aberdeen (metaphorically, AND literally. They don't call this place the Grey City for nothing.)

There was actually a small rainbow on the horizon, but it didn't show up on the photo. No matter. It's pretty anyhow.

I found a little Chinese supermarket!! Bai Yu (my classmate) introduced it to me. It is WONDERFUL!!! They even had Lee Kum Kee sauces!! Can you imagine???

I'm in heaven.

The "Autumn Tree"

Summer Ending
Originally uploaded by Veetwo Siew Mai.

This is the tree outside my flat. I've been following how it changes with the the weather. This is how it looked just about two weeks after I moved in.. For some reason, my flatmates and I started calling it the "Autumn Tree". I suppose because autumn was setting in and the tree kind of kept time for us by the change in leaf colours. We should rename it the "Tree of Seasons" or something like that since it's technically not autumn anymore. There's more of the tree and its different "costumes" on my flickr album, so.. You know the drill.. Hehehe....

3 Weeks & Counting

3 Weeks!! 3 Weeks and I'm GOING HOME!!!

Maybe I won't want to come back to Aberdeen after that. Oh dear. Hmm...

Question: When a person suddenly seems to do a 360 on you... Practically overnight... What does that mean? Is it a revelation of that person's true character or is it just that you've never actually paid attention to it in the first place?

Snow Snow Snow

It starting snowing this afternoon. Was kind of like those torrential rains we get back in Singapore around now, except with snow instead of rain. It is still snowing. I don't think it's going to stop for the next couple of days. It is quite exciting, but also horribly horribly cold. Will take a picture and post it up here soon.

Come to think of it, I haven't update my flickr album for a while. Right. That shall happen soon as well.

As soon as I get this horrible Physics lab report out.

The Snow Is Coming

There is frost all over the place now. Practically everyday, I will see frost on the lawns, frost on the bushes, puddles of ICE on the road... It won't be long before it starts snowing now. I'm kind of excited about actually seeing real snow for the first time... But I'm also not exactly relishing the thought of below zero weather. I want sun. There is practically no sun around here nowadays. Brrrrr.......

Kena Bombed!!

Finished my computing lab early. Wahahaha... Sadly (or quite happily) they haven't released the results of the Science test yet. I dread to think what my results will be. Monkey... I may have failed you all in the Science & Physics department...

Went for a run down to the beach again yesterday and it was BLOODY COLD!!! Dammit... I swear I saw some stray snowflakes amongst the rain yesterday. Then today for some reason, was absolutely lethargic. Hmm... Kind of in a can't be bothered way rather than a physically tired way. Dunno what's wrong with me. But at least I managed to finish my lab in 1 1/2 hrs (the whole lab period is 3hours. zzz...) Then as I was strolling back to my room in a rather aimless kind of way, I found at my door...

A Bomb.

Hahaha.... A package lah... From... a good friend. (^_^) I was actually expecting only to receive it when I went home for the Christmas vacation and had the whole meet up with friends thing. But here was a nice package filled with some of my favourite shows and one new one. All the way from Singapore. And the postage for the package wasn't exactly cheap either.

I haven't had the chance to watch any of them yet (seeing as how I don't have a dvd reader on my lau laptop), but I'm all warm inside. Although the cold outside is definitely on a winning streak. Heh.

In any case... Thank you.

(T_T)

*SOB*

Yesterday's Engineering Science test was a disaster... I am SOOOOOO going to flunk this test. *sob*

4 WEEKS!!!

4 weeks and I'm going home!!!!

I can't wait.. Really getting quite excited about it. Can't wait to get home and see everybody!!! And then of course there is all the food.. *drool*

What's been happening? Not much.. Nothing much ever happens in Aberdeen. It's grey, it's cold, it's wet. Although I did go down to Loch Ness with two of my flatmates over the weekend. That was fun. Didn't see Nessie though. Probably wasn't willing to come out in the rain and cold. Yup, that's right... We trekked around Inverness and Loch Ness in cold incesscent rain. Brrrr.... It'll be snowing in December... And they say January is going to be really bad... Sob... I want warm sun....

Argh.. Ok... Better stop blogging... I only came online to update my AVG anti-virus... Got another class test in a little less than 2 hours time. Physics... Ergh... Got full marks on my Math test last week though, which is a matter for gloating. Wahahah... But Physics... Ergh....

Eeeerrrrgggghhh.....

Haiz... I miss everyone...

Do Di Do Di Doooo....

Towards the end of design lab... ladida... listening to class presentations... Can't believe I have to go through another 4 years of this... As if the presentations in NUS weren't bad enough... I still feel so old sitting around with these kids though... Haiz... 老了老了。。。

5 weeks more!! Can't wait to go home...

Right... Shall attempt to pay attention to the rest of the presentations... Ergh...

Zzzz...

We turned back the clocks on Sunday. Now we're 8 hours behind Singapore... It was nice to have gained an extra hour. But it didn't last very long, once you adjust to the new timing, it's more or less the same.

Been getting up late these two days. Have had to rush to my lectures even though they are only about 2-5 minutes away from my flat. Also haven't been very productive on the work side this week. Wonder what's up with me. Been feeling extra lethargic and uninspired. Maybe the weather is getting me down. I should go for a nice jog down to the beach....

Now if only it will stop raining....
