I suddenly feel like going to China. I'm thinking about the what could-have-been if i did apply for the programme. Yeah, just feel like going back to my ''roots'' so called and just immersing myself in Chinese... the culture, everything! It is such a beautiful language, and I wish I was better at my Mother Tongue. (this has got nothing to do with ** btw, haha!) And I don't think i'll ever get the chance to do something like that in the future because this is my last holiday before working!

Peeeefed

Ahhh! There are thieves in the library. Never thought people would be driven immoral during exam period and have the audacity to steal notes!!! Now, i'm so wary of leaving my stuff around. And i can't find out who did it, so irritatinggggg, they should have CCTV cameras. The thing is, how would the person know that I would be out of the library for long enough for him/her to take action ie, the person must have been watching me and saw me getting out of the library. Oh... schemeing. I should ask the girl who sits opposite me if she saw anyone taking my stuff. Pft! To prevent such further incidents from happening, I might have to lug my stuff out everyone i'm gone for long hours, that's soooo troublesome. Cos that would include lunch break. Or that's a risk I have to take for studying in the library. It didn't happen at all last year, so, perhaps i'm just unlucky huh. Woah, to think I thought I found my perfect area in the library to study.

Anyway, cant believe i rambled on so long about my stolen notes. POE is really killing me, why so toooouuuugggghhh. Gonna die already! I spent almost an entire day doing one paper and i got a major headache, and the worst thing was, i still couldn't do it after so much ''pain''! This sucks...

Yeah, as you can see. My life revolves around nothing but studying. So sad... Wish exams would be over soon but i'm very unprepared.

Sometimes I think, how nice life would be if we weren't so caught up in the rat race. You know, like lie down in the park to read, smell the fresh flowers, run outside. And sometimes, I wish people wouldn't be compartmentalized into coming from this and this school and that and that company and just really get to know the person for who he/she is. Like the case my whole life. And to do that, first, i'd have to quit LSE, get out of the institution so people would stop stereotyping. But of course I would never do that, because I'm too caught up in the race too. Hurh, so is this Darwin's evolution at work.

I am 21!

Yay! I'm 21! Just had a very lovely picnic/squate-down-on-the-floor-kampung style bbq at the park behind my house! Thanks to Michelle's idea! And i had alot of fun. And thanks to everyone who came for the food and the presents and just taking the time to come down cos we're all stressed by on-coming exams. Just makes everything that much sweeter! Yeah, and last night, when I came home, i thought everyone was sleeping already cos it was so dark and, surprise surprise! I had a birthday cake, yeah, my very blatant request for a black forest Paul cake came true! Thanks to my housemates :) :) :) Woah, I really got a shock!

And to Miss Hui, you're the sole singapore representative in London, thanks for the presents babe! See ya in June! And my mum got me this really nice watch that i so adore, similarly good taste, Heh! Thank you mummy, love ya! Okae, i'm very tired now. I would love to post some photographs but my eyelids are drooping and I will do it next time. This blog could do with some photographs though... hmmm... laaaaateeeeer.

OMG! It's been 2 months since the last update. Thought i'd drop a note to say HELLO, i'm still alive and hope everyone's doing well! I was on the verge of abandoning this blog but knowing myself, I know there'd come a day when I'd actually feel a little urge to blog, and wala, took about 2 months... haha.

Anw... i'm blogging because... i'm suffering from post-holiday depression. Germany was SO awesome, loved it, loved Berlin, loved the people and to anyone interested in going to Berlin, please stay at JETPAK City Hostel, it's the best hostel i've stayed in, VERY clean, good location, internet access, very nice and friendly staff, loved it. You're missing out if you don't stay there in Berlin, i swear!... Unless you're going for 4/5 star hotels. I met Yoke Pean and her friends and we so coincidentally booked the same hostel, took the same flights to and from Germany, so Mich and I were with them for most part of the trip, twas FUN FUN FUN! Ate lotsa good food, all the pastries and pork knukles,sausages, beer. Get FAT, heck. Munich's really pretty, much prettier than Berlin but Berlin's so historical you gotta go for the walking tour when you're there... it's free and you just got to tip the tourguide at the end. We went for this Third Reich (the rise of Hitler) tour as well, and saw the Berlin Wall, Check point Charlie (where people stamped their passports to cross from East to West Germany), Hitler's Bunker where he killed himself, the Death strip etc. Yeah, Germany has such a dark history, to think that the wall was torn down just under 20 years ago. We went to the Dachau (pronounced da-how) concentration camp in Munich and it wasn't as sad as i expected, think Auswitz is a lot worse cos they display the original bunker beds and things like that. And the Neuschwanstein castle, before Walt Disney castle was the Neuschwanstein castle! Yeah, like a real life castle, very pretty. I took zero pictures, hahah, my camera never saw the day light but the others took many photos so i'll try to post them up if I can get over the inertia of blogging. Oh, and German guys and girls are hot. Haha, that's kinda relevant huh.

For now, got to get back into studying mode, sucks!!! It's the bane of my life, i wish my life was more exciting... just 1.5 more months... very quick very quick it'll be over and then... Spain and Portugal in the hot hot summer sun, i'm so looking forward to all the Paella and churros and tapas and Portugese eggtarts and 4 storey Zaras and Mangoes and to practise my rusty Spanish and to see VEE in Europe, WHEE! and then HOME. Woah, feels like a really long time since i've been home. Looking forward :)

On a completely random note, sometimes, the more you want something, the more it eludes you. The best things happen when you least expect it, that i'm a firm believer of.
