so this week was a monotonous one except for the meet up with emmeline and lisa. haven seen emmeline for so long and the last time i met her up was at imperial treasure i remembered! yeah, shiwei, ks and i met the both of them at chinatown and it was a HC outing! 3 from 04S72 and 2 from 04S75!

yeah, was quite chatty when i saw emmeline cos she's really a fun and bubbly girl. love her style of humour and the way she goes mad really makes me laugh. haha, and i took quite many fotos with her as i wun get to see her again until back in sg though she's still coming back to london, but at some weird days when it's either too near to my exams if not when i'm in greece. yeah, dun noe why but i kept "hitting" her when i saw her~ yeah lets meet in sg again when i'm back!


at chinatown!

and the week became a boring 1 thereafter. have submitted all my lab reports and i'm now committed to full time mugging now. wanna grasp everything within this coming 1 week and leave the last week to slack a little. think this's my style of work now. it's so unlike back in hc when i'm still cramming everything the night be4. i guess jc life is really more stressful, more different stuff to remember. and i went for a run at hyde park yesterday after school with ant, yl, kelvin, bq and ben! but ant, yl and i ran another route but soon we separated from yl and met her at some designated area as she's too slow for us! haha, wa and it was a total workout after not running for so long! ran for 45min and my legs are aching today! woosh! but it's really quite nice running in hyde park though it's kinda crowded and ppl are sun bathing everywhere! and i feel my muscles degerating! haha think i need to go back and train my pull ups to get them back~ haha!


a really nice foto taken using ant's com! wa... very arty!

well, i just can't wait for the exams to be over and poof! off i'll go to prague and then greece followed by hokkaido~ i seriously can't wait. and i can't wait to take the A380 back to singapore!

alright, some nice pics over the week. went out 3 days in a row with the girls and had dinner at 4 seasons on tues and GBK on wednesday! and i brought ah yin to meet her long lost pri sch classmate ant. haha, and both got quite awkward which was quite a funny scene i felt.


the 2 frens

and then wed was at GBK and it was my first time there! we had the 2 for 1 voucher and both ks and i each had 2 burgers! gosh, i was really full at the end and i think i took in like 2000 calories that night! but it was really nice chatting with them and having fun and reminiscing the past! well, i'm feeling much better these days! and i'm finally done with labs though i guess i may not do well or may even fail for 1 of the reports. but it's really not worth the effort to redo the whole expt.


burger looks a bit squashed cos i squashed it! spicy 1! seriously nice!


04S72!

hope to go back to gbk again and hope can eat with racheru and anto 1 day. cos these 2 foodies always whet my appetite! and yeah, i'm feeling more confident for quantum chem.

these days i've been feeling very down. every night after i meet the girls. i had a bad start today as well as i know it may be my last time meeting these frens.

these 2 days have been really impactful on me. i guess that's cos i havent met such really close frens for 8 months. they seriously cant be compared to the girls i met here. i guess perhaps age is 1 of the factors that make me not as close to the girls here, but also, cos they are those kinda frens who will really encourage u and spur u on.

like what i told ks, though i may be close to some of the girls in chemistry, they just stop at close, unlike yx they all. like when i'm feeling down and when i tell yx that bunch of frens, they will really encourage me by telling me jiayou eric! ni xing de! and will provide solutions to my problems as opposed to dun be sad la... tmr will be better kinda thing. it's really different and u will know that that bunch of really close frens are putting in an effort to help u, to make the day better for u. and today before i went off, i gave each of them a hug and they hugged me tightly, esp zhi... and it actually wet my eyes... cos i have not felt such warmth for so long... really... i've been feeling so lousy these days!

even by looking at them, i also feel comforted and loved. hai, how i wish my really close frens are with me in london really...

had a hearty and hilarious dinner tonight with yuexin, minyan, ah yin and hui zhi! haha could tell that they're very excited to meet me! we had dinner at earls court zizzi and i used my cool vouchers to get a cheap and nice dinner for all of us.

they were really shock when the bill came and only cost 50 pounds~ all thanks to my voucher! chatted really a lot and even video called ant to let him see his long lost primary school classmate, ah yin (the girl whom he's scared of)! huizhi my and yx laughed like mad. and we talked everything under the sun. about back in sec sch days how yx chased after me! and how she's called tyra foo. and we kept laughing at her buying loads of primark stuff and lugging it along oxford street on wed! damn funny! gosh i think yuexin really makes ppl laf!

thereafter, brought them to big sains to get their choc and they almost bought over the whole sains. 1st time seeing ppl so excited over sains stuff, esp the eye shadow, liner and dun noe wateva makeup stuff cos they said that those products are expensive in sg! and i may need to help them bring back to sg~

well, gonna meet them tmr again but this time with ks, wenxiang and edwin. all 3 only know yx and ah yin. i think it was a good idea to meet them alone today and i would like to have more private time with these frens. well, i really felt very happy from the bottom of my heart seriously. cos it's been so long since i've last seen these frens really. i guess you hold your frens more dear when u're abroad. i haven heard their voices for like a nice whole 8 months. this dinner has been really great really! thanks girls! you guys are irreplaceable!


the cool dunmanians!

yeah saturday was really fun though i felt a little guilty after that. went to ant's place to disrupt them first and then for senior's farewell yesterday at beit union hall and yeah i went to send yao hao off actually and also for the nice free food that our batch cooked~ haha! was really quite nice and yeah caught up with some of them...


haha terrence is too short so he has to put his arms around my flabby waist!

yeah and when ant and i returned back to beit, we bumped into yang le who went to get 4 seasons duck for dinner! and she looked so aunty with huge plastic bags! gosh! ahah so we took lots of her unglam shots and there was 1 that was especially hilarious! can use it to laugh when i'm bored of studying.

yeah then we tried studying at ant's room and ended up singing and ant playing the guitar. we sang this really nice song, forgot its title le and ant's accompaniment is 'impeccable' haha~ and then rachel and xunyu joined us for dinner~ woohoo~ so we cooked and talked and ate and laughed! and they kept lafing at me, dun noe why too. we had a great time be4, during and after dinner. kept playing around, like using pans to hit each other, and xunyu even used the xiao bai cai to knock my head, and i quickly transferred the force to anto's head! haha. damn funny! boisterous to sum it up! i really like the times when we behave like kids! gone are those days man.


dinner dinner!

yeah and then we had table tennis match! was really a fun match and i played better at individual with rachel! was really happy! and we played 'soft ball' which was really fun! haha when crazy anto was the guy who hit the ball, he almost won but i touched him first and won! and he kept running in circles! and we kept hitting the ball to yang le cos we noe she will surely lian2 lei4 her teammates cos she's slow! and when i was the thrower, i almost lost cos ant almost ran 1 round back to his place and i pulled his shirt while he's still in his running action! super hilarious! but i got quite guilty when i was on my way home. caused i felt i've caused them to not study for the night. though they kept saying it's really ok... but yes i've promised not to play anymore! hahah and shall be a guai kia at home! i think i'm too fidgetive!


i chop! i smash!


all the pairs!

And yes! i'm going to hokkaido from 5th to 13th july! it'll be an extravagant getaway actually. haha! i've estimated $3000+ for this trip, hopefully it wun go beyond 3.5! but well, guess it's really worth it as it's a place that i have always wanted to go. been to japan twice but were all to tokyo!

and i nv realised hokkaido was THIS big till now after planning for this trip. yeah, will be flying to tokyo on 5th to meet ant first and we will head up to hokodate on the 6th via shinkansen and the limited express train! and then we're make our way to sapporo. some greater highlights of the trip will be furano and biei, where we can walk through vast lands of lavender fields; noboribetsu, where we will visit the hell valley and the greatest highlight would definitely be the 1 night in sounkyo which is really a romantic and mountaineous place!

we book this ryokan there for $195 per person per night, shall be a day to pamper ourselves! we'll have this room for 5 just to the 2 of us with 2 huge beds, and there's an open onsen there to view the mountains while pao-ing, and we have buffet breakfast and dinner included too! dinner looks seriously good, with loads of seafood! argh! i couldn't ask for more really! am so looking forward to it. i shall be like the japan hour host, introducing every part of hokkaido!

and yes, we'll be driving to furano, sounkyo and biei which anto really gian a lot! and i think i feel safe with him driving haha! we shall use gps and perhaps get a sports car, driving on the sunny highway~ woohoo~ and it's also easier to travel by car when going into rural japan! haha~ yeah so hokkaido here i come! and what's more, it's with kyodai anto! gonna be exciting man!

yeah today was really fun and fulfilling. i was woken up by the really strong sun at 710am and couldn't sleep thereafter though i slept at 2am the day be4. so i went to school early to borrow the inorg spectra book for report. i'm so glad i went school cos the book is really useful! it's my first time having to refer to a book to do a report as the IR spectrum could not be deduced without references! I felt really invincible when i got my hands on that book! wee! yeah, so after that, i went to ant's place to do my report! haha, he was at yl's place studying while i 'lock' myself in his room do my report. took me 1 whole afternoon to finish! gosh~

and then, they went to sains to get groceries for dinner and we had a really great 1! prawns with fried egg and curry powder, roast duck and also stir fry vegetables! was really full and nice mummy yang le cooked for us! haha, so me and ant lao da washed the dishes.

thereafter, we played table tennis in the common room and yipei joined us! it was my first time playing table tennis!!! i played once eons ago and it was just anyhow hitting the ball kinda game. but today i managed to smash a few times! and i realised i cant rush in a game of tt! cos the more u wanna rush, the faster the ball goes out of control! ant's the zai 1 today as he can do spins! i wanna learn that. tried focusing and slice the ball, but couldn't do it! i shouldn't be so impatient! should learn the basic techniques first. but, i'm still an amateur. maybe i'll play more table tennis in future when i have the time! it was really fun and yl and i are beginners and i love how we played the game! really funny and comical! and we ended the 2h game with a doubles match, with me and ant vs yl and yipei! was uber fun! and we won marginally, 3-2! woosh! hi 5 anto! ahhaa... gosh, cant wait for exams to finish! am now full of energy to chiong tmr! yeah and next fri will be lunch with anto and racheru at scr!
