Indeed indeed. Had homemade jiaozi at Bai Yu's place last night. Stuffed to the max. But it was good. Anyhow, some long due updates...
Well. London was fun, as you could probably tell from all my photos. There really is a lot to see. I guess in a way it was the right choice not to go to London. I would've been too distracted knowing that there was so much to do. All the same, I can't help but wonder what it would've been like.
Going to have steamboat tomorrow with my flatmates. Dunno how that's going to turn out. I haven't bought any ingredients yet. My excuse is that for steamboat the stuff has to be fresh. So I shall go out and buy the stuff after class tomorrow. I should end at 12pm. I don't think my tutorials are starting yet, considering that we haven't even had any lessons on applied mechanics or electronics. Well... Hope all will turn out well. Don't think I'm going to try anything fancy anyway. The pot I borrowed from Bai Yu is quite small, and I'm on a budget. London has already put me at least £100 over limit.
Oooooh.... Shopping! Went shopping yesterday. Yes I know... I just complained that I was over-budget. But the post-christmas sales here are really wonderful!! Yesterday I got 2 blouses at £1 each and also 2 jackets for £10!! The jackets were going as buy-one-get-one-free!! The cheapest clothes item was free so I kinda got a 100% discount on the second jacket. Isn't that exciting?? I also saw skirts going for 50p. It was madness.
Tomorrow I start classes again. It's such madness. They don't seem to have after-exam breaks in this place unless it's after the entire academic year. I was lucky this time because I only had 2 papers and they both finished within the first week of exams. I don't even know when the results are coming out.
Gah. Last night before term starts again. And I haven't done anything to commemorate it. I should... I should....
I should sleep early. Got to wake up for 10am lecture... Rrrr..

See?? What have I been telling you people about Aberdeen?? Ha!!
As it turns out.. The author Stuart MacBride is the twin brother of my flatmate's brother-in-law...

Ha??
You scored as Art. You should be an Art major! How bohemian!

Ahhh... Hmmm... Ok... Lots of contradictory results here... But what I want to know is how the hell did I score 67% for Philosophy?!??!?!

Free!
Ok. I'm done for my share of exams of the 1st term.
Physics was actually quite good. It was easier than I expected. It helped that 2 of the long questions that came out were repeated for the last 3 years. The only thing that changed was the numbers, so I just chose to do those for my section B (had to choose 2 out of 3). Section A was all the basic stuff, so that was ok.
In other words, I think I did ok. (^_^)
Going down to London tonight!! I can't wait!! It's going to be so exciting. Of course, most of the time I'll just be following Minna around, since I've never been and have absolutely no idea of my way around. I will take lots of photos and post them on flickr. Hmm... Come to think of it... Did I ever put up my photos of Glasgow and Edinburgh?? I can't remember. But knowing me... I probably didn't. Ooops... Right will find a day to post them up.
Been wondering how to spend Chinese New Year here... Thought of having a little steamboat thingy in the flat but while I've found out where to get a steamboat/hotpot, I haven't been able to find one of those little portable electric/gas stove thingys... Plus, one of the girls is vegetarian... Hmmmm.... Maybe will just make big huge chili crab dish minus crab. I brought the Prima mix from home. Why minus crab? Well.... Despite the fact that we live right next to the North sea, seafood isn't exactly running all over the place. I'd probably have to make do with prawns and other little shellfish, which aren't that cheap. So much for maritime. Oh well... Will figure that out after I come back from London. Heeeheee.... London!!
Boohoohooo.... I still miss the anime that I burned but can never watch.... (T_T)

Current Thought Process
AAAHH!!! PHYSICS!!! AHHH!!!!
I still cannot believe that Romi Paku is the seiyuu for a number of male anime characters. How can she manipulate her voice to be so low??? (O_o) Incredible!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! PHYSICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bai Yu lent me her set of "Xuang1 Tian1 Zhi4 Zun1 III". WHAHAHHAAHAHAH!!! Singapore Chinese serial marathon after today's paper...
PHHYHHHHHYYYYSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIICCSSSS!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHH !!!!!!!!!
London tomorrow!!! Heheheheheh!!!!
AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
*pengsan*

One Down
One more to go. Ergh.
Monday's paper was quite good. Section A was quite easy, I thought. So kind of flew through that. Section B we had to choose 3 questions to do out of 5, and even that was really quite do-able. Except that for my last question I chose the wrong question to do, so couldn't finish that one question when somehow my working become very complicated. But I suppose, not finishing 1 question out of a total of 8 isn't something to panic about.
Spent the rest of that night watching Akira and Billy Elliot. Hahaha...
Today been studying Physics. Ergh. Can't wait for Thursday's exam to be over.
Going to London with Minna on Friday!!! Woooopeeee!!!!
Sad note: I am without anime for another good 3-4 months. I tried to bring some with me but luggage was 10kg overweight when I tried to check-in. Had to leave 10kg of stuff with my parents to be brought home and the anime was among the non-essentials that had to be off-loaded... (T_T) That and milo. *sobz* No milo again....

It Dropped Off!!!
My wart, that is.
One of them anyway. The biggest one that was on my right sole. Just last night after my shower, I was about to apply the anti-septic (even though it's not really neccessary now, since the warts have more or less shrivelled up and died already due to intense cryo-freezing) when I noticed that the scab seemed to be flapping loose. I picked at it very gently (I promise!) and *pook* out it came. So I now have a rather shallow although rather wide little crater on the sole of my foot, with only tender new skin covering the flesh inside.
I hope I don't step on anything sharp in the next few weeks....

Back In The Freezer
Yes, according to the expired tickercounter, I have been back here for four days now. Just for Aronwy's info (:p) , it was there while I was in Singapore to count down to when I'd have to return... I just never took it off and now it's just continuing the count...
Exams in a about a week. I only have 2 this time around, which makes for rather less stressful cramming than I am used to. Exam schedule is as such:
Monday 16th January 1500 - 1700
EG1006: Engineering Mathematics
Thursday 19th January 1500 - 1700
EG1007: Engineering Science
Hmmm... So far have been doing practice papers, but still not feeling the stress yet... This might be a good thing or a bad thing... I haven't quite decided yet.
