Chocolate.

I realised that I actually love baking. The process of looking up for recipes, getting the ingredients, making the batter, waiting for the end-product to be out of the oven, taking the 1st bite and letting others try is really enjoyable.

Today I tried baking another chocolate cake. It looked nice (but I forgot to take pictures of it -__-) but it still wasn't moist or chocolatey enough. But well, at least I think it was better than the one I baked for Christmas. =)

Should have just taken a recipe from Mum. haha...

Now all I need to do is to find victims to finish the cake!

Will you be my guest? XD

The Lost Little Lamb.

Spending the whole day with Zhi Wei and Jian made me realise that I don't know what I really want in life.

Gotta do something about it.

Merry Christmas!

The trip to Cambridge was awesome. Thanks Huey and Kelvin for bringing Jun and I around. There were adventures (imagine having to come down from the top of a slippery ice hill. How did we even get up there in the first place?), a lot of good food (Thanks Michelle for being the mother chef XD ), sesat moments (like losing the house key while playing snow angel and snowball fighting), gossips and chit-chats.

Thanks Kelvin, for once I thought you were a great petbro. haha... I'll remember to go and bug you again. =)

And thanks Huey, for being such a good listener and adviser. Even at 1 am in the morning. I will update you. *winks* And for taking all the trouble to make me feel at home. I'm already starting to miss you lots.

And thanks Jun, for staying with me for 9 days and creating sooo many memorable moments =) Have a safe trip back to Malaysia.

This is basically a post of showing gratitude and appreciation.

In fact, today is Christmas. But all I want to do is to sleep in, have a good read and an awesome movie. Seriously. I feel like being slightly anti-social today. Depends who the companions are.

I'm off to my first movie. After what seems like 3 months. Haha...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Snow.

Today, it snowed in London. =)

I hope Jun arrives safely in London. =)

Burnt.

Happy Birthday Yin =) I still feel sorry to have left you on your birthday... I promise I'll get my ass down to Bristol again some other day, ok?

It was a splendid 12 hours in Bristol. So short. Yet, there was so much of love around. New friends. New place. Happy presents unwrapping. Lovely conversations. Warm concerns. Late night chit-chats. Great breakfast. And a nice train ride (finally...) Bristol is really beautiful in my opinion, or maybe it was just because I haven't had enough of it. But it is really what I had in mind, somehow reminds me a lot of the movies I once watched.

I had such a nice time there =)

And then I was back to London. Attended a UKEC meeting and event. It was an impulsive decision to go back to London, it was made when I was still in the bus to Bristol. Just that it wasn't me to miss out things of this sort. Working in UKEC reminds me a lot of being in SASA when I was still in HELP, the good old times! And Jem you remind me of Joe, my previous boss. haha... I really hope it would be rewarding. And that I could find what I am looking for. =)

It was another impulsive decision to turn up in a Korean restaurant to eat dinner with them. Haha... One phone call, and I ended up there, despite having dinner readily packed. It was another night filled with jokes and laughter. But there was a point of time when we were in Wei Zhen's room that I was so exhausted, I don't know what I was doing anymore. It was a tiring day, partly because I only had 3 hours of sleep on the previous night, but the whole day was great. Really (although I do complain a lot =P ).

Thanks for letting it all out. I know you probably still kept something to yourself, but I think it was already less burdensome for you. You know, we love you =)

Thanks Lyn.

Slept for 7 hours plus today. The longest undisrupted sleep in 2 weeks time?

I am elated. =D

There is only one LAST tough ECONS assignment left for me. which requires a lot of reading. It's going in this Thursday. And then I'm done with Macro this term!

Weather's good. Today will be awesome. =)

Cheers!

Break. Away.

Sometimes people don't understand that I deserve a break too. Thank you Marsh for putting that bit of sense into my little brain.

So much has happened lately. So many arguments. A lot of heart-to-heart talks with different people now and then. A lot of random laughters and jokes. Delightful meetings with newly-made friends. Plenty of hugs, and sometimes pats on the head. Too little sleep. More than bearable level of assignments. Little chit-chats. Random hi-byes. Disappointments. Excitements. It was like watching a movie in a fast-forward mode.

Phew, I think that's quite a lot for one week's period. This is yet another busy week. Dance and acting practices have all started (I dunno how I got in to this). LSE's Malam Bakti (Charity Night), musicals, dinners, a hell lot of meetings, plenty of deadlines, and hopefully a trip to Bristol (please please don't make me cancel it...)

I'm anxiously waiting for my break. But I'm still enjoying this crazy period of my life. Like sleeping for only 3 hours plus just to get my work done. Or going for a volunteering project that I didn't sign up for and got myself a reference for future job applications. Or anxiously praying that the ball doesn't get into the goal when I know nuts about football. Or excitedly planning a trip to Newcastle only to realise the train fares are really expensive. When I go to bed a night, I would tell myself: What a day it has been...but at least it was something. =)

Little things make me smile: Like going to the kitchen to microwave instant noodles because I was just too lazy to cook a meal but ended up eating a full meal topped up with desert and complemented with warm conversations. I have only one conclusion: I have really cool hallmates!

Ok this post doesn't make much sense. Just that I realise I'm deprived of a break. So no one is going to stop me from doing what I want to this Christmas break! hehe...

Back to study mode.

Cheers!
