The maddening crowd.

Citylink was mad mad mad! Think the Wisma crush is bad? Well... the citylink one teaches us to be more appreciative of Wisma crush:( I'm not a fan of Suntec, it's too BEEG for my liking plus it's further and less convenient than Orchard, so there. Went for the pre-dep session at Pan Pac... it was more crowded than i expected! I met Daphne Y there, so happy to see her after so many years! She's still the same dark girl, ever funny and likeable though more feminine, she said that of me too infront of some other guy, so embarrassing okae. He must be thinking... " this girl is feminine???" I wanted to explain that it's a relative thing, compared to last time so he wouldn't be too puzzled, haha. Oh wells... hope to meet up with her when she comes down to London.

Was going through the goodie bag and found the most useful book yet. Cooking recipes... ranging from soups, to pasta, to chickens, fried rice and beehoon (what a horrible picture they put up, that's no way a decent beehoon should look like! the beehoon was all broken up.. gee) to deserts like chocolate cheesecake. Yum. There is hope! Why can't i be more interested in cooking? Why is it so hard?

And of course the topic on the London bombings came up, it's disturbing and unsettling to say the least. As if one attack wasn't bad enough... 2 attacks in 2 weeks. What next? 3rd attack in 3 weeks? When will these people see some sense? Their vision is clouded, minds are washed. I think they derive joy from seeing innocent civilians die... they want you to feel the pain, they want you to live in fear. Very unfortunate timing for us really, my mum was so scared she contemplated calling up NUS to accept me the very next day after the 2nd attacks. She told me to minimise travelling, walk everywhere. But you never know where the next attack will be? On the streets? At the supermarket? At the cinemas?
Can't run away from it. Can only say a prayer and leave the rest to fate. Then again, haven't you heard of the saying that your fate lies in your own hands?

Was talking to one of the LSE seniors and he was telling me that you don't have to write essays for Econs. Like ??? Very mathematical. Which is not a bad thing i guess :) I have some academic aspirations, actually one only. Haha. Obtain a first class honours. Aim HIGH. Aim HIGH! Top of my wishlist now is to strike BIG in Big sweep or lottery( for the day dreamers) And of course, peace in London.

The letter from LSE better come soon, need to apply for entry clearance. Hurry up!

I'm getting quite a lot of lobang for relief teaching and yes, thank you huimin and julie for presenting me with the opportunities. For that which i am immensely grateful. Haha.

School begins at NTU tomorrow and NUS next week, my friends are going off to study, beginning their uni life, hostel life. I can't wait to begin mine as well :) Peace.
