Yeah~ think i'm having quite a 'life' in london now. haha! last friday went up to london eye with wee hon, jk and kel. very thankful to weehon for the free tix! cos i know i will not pay 16 pounds to go up for 20min. Well, the view is really nice at night. not those kinda spectacular view but it feels very serene, tranquil and it uncannily reminds me of the nights in tokyo as i was also up a ferris wheel then. really liked that feeling. argh~ hopefully if i go to swiss for masters, i can secure an exchange program to tokyo uni for 1 sem! will be really good if i can go~

maybe cos it's the final year in imperial, somehow, i think it's quite happening this year. going to 2 ang mor frens' places. haha! feels really good to go to a local's house and see their way of life. cultural exchange indeed! hopefully, we can still all remain in contact when we've graduated? like flying to and meeting in japan for a tour or what. alright, i shall be hardworking at the same time too! need to revise so hard after i finish writing my last lab report!

And reading week has just passed and i have not done much. been reading organic notes and maybe a little inorganic and then been doing up my physical lab book for next wed viva. gosh, this kinetic experiment is deceivingly easy, with so many chim equations! but i think we got all the questions sorted out at least. I dont know why, but feel kinda uneasy and stressed cos i'm gonna start the horrible organic labs next week and it means 9-11 lectures 11-5 labs. quite crazy and it's really tiring. well, but at least now u can only do 1 expt a week unlike the past when they throw 5 expt to you and u can just rush to finish them. so yeah i will take my time when doing and shall do it really carefully! no worries. i think i will feel better after the 1st week, after i get a feel of it.

alright, so yesterday was my 1st time entering a club! haven clubbed be4 in sg and this is all for sam cos it's his bday! haha, couldnt turn him down after he asked me 3 times whether i'm going for his party. yeah and when we were there, we kept talking to the other sam and i think i feel quite contented knowing these 2 closer ang mor frens. like though i know we are culturally so diff, there is hardly any awkward silence between us. am lucky to have met such frens! and i think it'll be so cool if we are able to travel in future when we all start working. like meeting up in another foreign country, maybe japan? so cool! haha and he invited us (terrence, me and samantha) over to his place in yorkshire in easter and will drive us around. gosh, cant wait!

I was watching the amazing race elimination station 07 today whereby kevin and michael were the newly eliminated pair. The volleyball girls are still sore at their own loss and hoping that all the girl-girl pair would be eliminated. but well, the 4 of them had a chance to talk to each other and michael told them that this is just a disappointment. Instead of taking it so hard, take it as an experience in dealing with disappointments and in future when there are bigger disappointments, you will know how to handle it. Simple his words are but full of wisdom. It's something really easy to understand yet ppl are usually blinded by emotions. the volleyball girls have thus stopped thinking about their loss and are starting to enjoy their vacation in mexico and they are convinced and appreciated what michael had sad to them. however, i still feel that his son does not accept this well cos his mind is all about winning and not taking a step back to learn sth from it. and coincidentally, he's the youngest. maybe wisdom comes with age.

Ah well, i really want the doctors nat and kat to win! and yeah some photos of what i've done this week. mon, went to have steak with some peeps and kyodai! haha been a while since i last talked to him. then yesterday went to hyde park to take some autumn pics be4 the trees go bare!
