Yeah I think i'm starting to blog more after i'm back in london. so 5th week has passed and i haven done much actually. i'm just reading books for labs everyday cos physical labs is really hard. ks and i just had our 1st viva (interview) with a prof on thurs and we were stunned by his questions. it was a 40min viva with on-the-spot derivation and really difficult questions. i was stunned by some qns but luckily ks managed to make intelligent deductions while ks was stunned by derivation and luckily i was calm enuf to help him out in certain parts. like what the prof says, we complement each other! and yeah with his demanding standards, i think we scored well. really felt so relief that day. and now for the 2nd viva, though i heard that this prof is more lenient, will still do my best.

so last friday went out with the chem ppl to a pub called oneils. it's quite near my place and i think i like the pubs here. i think it feels perfect and totally relaxing when sitting in a pub eating and drinking with frens, while appreciating the old english interior decorations and victorian buildings outside on a cold night. feels really good. hai, will not get to have this kinda life when i'm back in sg for good. haha! oh well, so i think i should try to go around london more. feel like going to some market this weekend. campden? haha not too sure. anyway, saw these 3 packets of sweets at sains and found them quite interesting!

nice pub~

haha i have been back in london for 2 weeks and yeah i have not updated for a really long time. went to china with my parents and it was really fun. family bonding and i think it's my first time in a long while that i felt enjoyable going on a holiday with my parents. guess i've really grown up, and know how to communicate with my parents better. Perhaps, it's the 2 years in london that made me more mature? more homely? i'm not too sure but certainly i know i'm already past the rebellious and perhaps in the transition stage? just like what my tutor says, u feel calmer, able to think more rationally and i could actually sit down with my parents in a cafe in china talking to each other. in the past i would usually be left alone fiddling with my phone while my parents talk to each other but now yeah it's just different and i'm happy for this positive change!


so tranquil


my parents and i!

alright, back in london and yeah year 3 is really a busy busy year! having sch from 9-5 everyday isnt really something to look forward too. moreover, our physical experiment isnt going too well but i believe we can still achieve what we are supposed to by the end of next week! and yup, will stop being the complacent pair and will be humbly working our way through. jia you to ks and i! and yeah, what beats a good gathering with funny frens after such a tiring week! dinner at ramen taro with kc, ks and laya and we were poking fun at kc and laya as the new chemistry couple. woooo~ really funny. yup, and this weekend i'll read up and prepare more for labs!
