This post comes a bit late, seeing as I've finished my last class/last lecture and had all the 'lasts' I could possibly think of last friday and its now Monday, three days later. Probably was really sad on Friday, but it was a numbed kind of sadness that couldn't particularly be expressed in words. It just made me sit around my room, wondering why ( Read more... )

"The agony we suffer is only the result of the deliberate shallowness of our own heart. We won’t believe; we won’t let go by severing the line that secures the boat to the shore- we prefer to worry."

Time to let go. And cut loose that boat.

Feeling particularly proud of myself this morning. Waking up in the morning has been particularly painful these past few days for no apparent reason. I am definitely getting enough sleep, in fact getting more than I usually am. And my sleep has been nothing short of fitful. But this morning. THIS MORNING. I woke up on my first alarm. How amazing is ( Read more... )

After a weekends out of london and essays due across the week, I have finally been able to get out of the house and treat myself to food that does not involve pasta and boiling noodles.

I HATE MY HOUSEMATES

After moving in for about a month, the place still surprises me. I'm so glad we made the move, having a different environment just makes living here so much more exciting, there are still pleasant discoveries made every day.

Maybe sitting on my bum doing nothing for almost a month during summer inspired me to come to london and try to do everything to make up for all of those lazy days in Singapore. So it's just been a week of arranging things to do to keep me occupied...or keep me further away from the readings I'm already falling behind on at ( Read more... )

After a few surprising successes (in part thanks to my dear mate and after-meal-damage-controller mildredddd) I've decided to post up the photos of our thus-far rather tasty and QUICK two-people meals! (note: no chinese cooking yet because of the dearth of sauces/chinese oils/WHITE RICE in the house, a problem which we'll have to rectify SOON)

Chicken wrapped ( Read more... )

This morning, I dreamt that my little radio clock suddenly switched itself on and started playing "Cold Water" which fyi is a song with a very creepy start. It did that twice and I remember thinking, shit, there's a ghost in my room, why does my radio cum clock cum ipod speaker have a life of its own. I remember feeling rather creeped out. And then ( Read more... )

Korea was the experience, goodness knows why it took my family so long to decide finally to leave the comfortable beaches of PHUKET and head somewhere new. It was cold but damn it was worth it and now I'm missing the whole atmosphere and the whole holiday feel like hell ( Read more... )
