i feel like adam monroe! (watch heroes pple, altho gossipgirl is still the bomb)

buried under a pile of work but can't get out even though i desperately want to. and i'm chatting to pple on msn right now happily and have not finished my self-learn protein module due like this week.

get me out of this rut/coffin! it's only the third week of school man.

and i do not know if i should go bac for prizegiving. SOMEONE GIVE ME A SIGN!!!

thingies: blog updated! XD

everyone else: hey hope yr life is better than mine atm.

loves all around!

okay so the first week of school has been hectic and busy and yes everyday i have lectures at 9am in the morn and continuously after tt it is so frigging gay. but then wed afternoons are usually off for like ccas and director of studies meetings blablabla, so at least there is a breather!

for those of you who dun already noe, i dissected a rabbit on thurs!!!! haha how funn. i cut abit too deep through the stomach of my rabbit tho, hehe like almost thru the intestines. but then again my rabbit is a thin one so i dun have layers and layers of fat to peel off unlike some others XDD PLUS we were introduced to the farms where we are gonna do our animal husbandry pracs Langhill and Easter Bush. they are like proper commercial farms but just tt we DICK VETS get to handle the animals la XD smelly but satisfying.. heehee.

okay then friday nite was one helluva nite and i can only say WHAT THE HELL. i am physically and mentally ill i really need help.

and dammmn i missed the singapore grandprix! alonso won like wowwww who would've expected tt to happen in a million yrs??! haha anyways hope singapore is treating you all well I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCHH i hope i am still sane the next time i see you! muahhh xoxoxo

EDINBURGH IS TRULY AMAZETASTIC!

honestly i am so happy and contented that i am HERE doing my five years of veterinary cos there's nowhere i'd rather be (except home but tt's another matter XD)!!

basically i moved in on 13th sept and everyone else in my flat did too which is fab cos you get to intro everyone on the first day XD i honestly don't mind tt they're from the uk (scot, n irish and london!) and sweden they are nice and cool abt things so we are like one big happy family who always have tea tgt and we even share communal cupboard!!

okayy the only drawback is i can't cook the food i usually eat (not tt i know how to anyways) but all of them are such good cooks i don't think i wanna give them food poisoning just yet XD there is a malaysian restaurant down the road if i crave anything really badly though.. and it's realy authentic as well!! XD anyone has good recipes for singapore food?!!

ohh and the vet freshies are okay too but i tink the guys cmi ley. sighhhh how lidat XDD anyways lessons start proper tmr I AM HOPING EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAYY!!!

gosh i've done not as much as my flatmates, but then i tink it's still quite alot! like comedy night, fresher's ball, ceilidh-ing, drinking myself silly in the flat, having pple over, ohh edinburgh zoo was amazing, etc!! i could've done more, but jus dun have the energy to! there were intro lectures on tues and wed morn too, very dreary stuff but got to see the vet school! btw i live jus around the corner from the vet building aka summerhall so i'm v lucky XD

anyways today is jus rest and rejuvenation day. nice casserole dinner (feels almost like thanksgiving) thanks to amy! then tomorrow i have lectures starting from 9 to 11, then we gotta take photographs and sign forms, then we got a lil break, then lectures from 3 to 5. phew. okay the first day isn't so bad, but then on after it's jus gonna be lectures/practicals 9-5 which is really hardcore!

okayy so pictures of edinburgh will be up sooon (once i get my new cam phone) and you guys will all love it i swear! hahah it's got both the old town and new town, old town has lotsa old castles and buildings and there's even a dormant/dead volcano called arthur's seat in the middle of the capital with some ruins of a castle nearby. where in the world will you get this kind of wowness? XDD

oh yeah remind me to scale arthur's seat next time. update ya'll soon!!!! xoxoxoxo

sigh. 2 months fly by really REALLY fast.

i love both singapore and the uk. but whenever i have to get on a plane to go to back and forth, it is my most hated pet peeve.

i feel like i'm superman/clark kent, in a bad way.

life is never gonna be easy. but why can't it be easiER than what i'm going through now?

911, 1130 here i come.

Fight the good fight with all thy might
in upper third you're not that bright
With your huge rucksacks and your lovely bungees
Headington your life shall be

Soon you master the art of backcombed hair
Learn how to pout and strut and stare
Skive pse, detention at least once a week
A diverse school (we have no cliques)

Maths is a struggle when you're hung-over and late
and you missed out on prayers with Stayte
Treasure the toast and the unlimited tea
But most of all... ANDY!*

Fight the good fight with all thy might
Sixth form has gone, the end's in sight
We've had our fun and we shall be
Headingtonians eternally.


*andy is the maintenance guy. the english girls think he's quite fit but yeah out of all of them he prob is. this is how deprived we are XD

all good things must come to an end.


when i first came to uk and dragged my heavy luggage into my room, i was apprehensive and scared, yet excited and pumped with adrenaline.

there were so many highlights and lowlights, shared laughters and tears shed, all in a short span of 2 years. the boarding experience, the foreign culture, the amazing and also not-so-amazing people tt i've met and come to love, has enriched me and made me grow so much as a person.


i don't know how to describe the feelings i had on the last day of school. basically i only had 3 hours sleep cos we were mucking up the boarding house til 2 am and had to get up at 5 to help with the muck up in the main school. i'm proud to say i've stolen 2 fire exits as souvenirs and thank god for facebook photos XD

the upper sixth form were in charge of prayers on friday/last day of school and it was hilarious at most parts although slightly boring at others cos we had to cater to our audience who only included the upper thirds to lower fifths (pri6-sec3). so maybe we weren't as rude or as shocking as we could possibly be, but it was truly heartwarming for everyone.

we sang the school song at the end, but of course we amended the lyrics such tt only the first line of the first verse was the only actual line.

excerpts:

"fight thy fight with all thy might
in upper third you're not that bright
with your huge rucksacks and your _?_ bungees
headington your life shall be"

"soon you master the art of backcombed hair
learn how to pout and strut and stare"

"skive PSE, detention at least once a week" (PSE is like moral ed)

okay i can't remember cos there are like 4 verses but at the very last one, the final line was
"headingtonians eternally"

which really stuck on me (and prob the rest of the leavers as well) for the whole day.

looking back, it has been a helluva time but i am so glad i made the decision to come here. no regrets.


the only thing left to do is NOT muck up my exams! studyyyy sophia.
