Happy Chinese New Year!!
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..

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!!!!!!!

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.

我的头发有没有乱...
I went for a hair-cut just now. Just to get a trim, coz my hair was getting really messy. But I also asked the hairdresser to cut the front just a bit shorter. As a result...
My long-lost fringe is back. I haven't had a proper fringe since... Secondary 1!!! Or primary 6 even...
I have a fringe...

Siew Mai Bai Kah Liao...
Haiz. Why is it that I always seem to have some physical pain/abnormality happening within the last few months. I think it started with the abcess, which was followed by the sprained ankle, then finding out that I've got a slow heart-rate, then dengue (have I forgotten anything??)... All happened in less than a year's time.
Now I have warts on my feet. I just went to have them frozen yesterday and now I can barely walk. Where did I get them from? No. Not Aberdeen. I got them way before that actually, just that they were really small then so I didn't think too much of them. They got bigger after I left and more painful. So almost immediately after I landed, went to get an appointment with one of my mum's friends. So yesterday, he shot them with his cryo-gun. BZZZZ!! Frozen warts. Very painful. (T_T)
Monkey ah, Monkey... HOW??? I wanna go for WWW!!! I haven't seen the TLG for SOOOOO LONG!!! (T_T) sobz... But I can't WALK!! Somebody send me a magic carpet....

Incredible Tales 2: The Suitor
Wahaha.
First - Refresh your memories with this post: My Eyes Hurt
Now, let me tell you what that was all about. Jemalelinh and I had actually been shooting an episode for Channel 5's Incredible Tales 2. It was for the last episode.
That stupid night where they made us stay until some ungodly hour was the night we were shooting in some cemetery.
Anyways, my dad recorded the episode for me (it aired in October) and I watched it last night. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard for such a long time. Ok, so it was supposed to be a scary tale, but so what?? It was just hilarious!!! *snorts*

Nightmare
Had a nightmare last night. I've had nightmares before of course, but usually I'd just wake up from them, be fuzzily puzzled, yawn and go back to sleep. This time, I was actually so freaked out that I didn't dare go back to sleep.
I quickly switched on my lights and just sat in my bed, trying hard not to fall asleep. In the end I ended up messaging a friend for about an hour before I was finally convinced to try going to sleep again. I did sleep, though it was far from easy. And I woke up just feeling dead.
I'm thankful that my friend was there for me, despite his own problems. But still I wonder about that horrid dream. I still remember it, and in the day with a somewhat clearer head, it seems silly to have been so scared. But it was chilling, to say the least.

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.......
