yoz!

had an excellent night's sleep...full 8 hours...well almost. but there were no unwanted disturbances so that's very good. I feel great! and it's the first day of school. Just sat through my first lecture on endocrine system...wah! this term is going to be terrible! GUNBADE NE!

right, so let me tell you about the fabulously eccentric way, my initially destroyed sunday was saved. Yes my friends! There is no better way to cheer yourself up other than laughing at yourself and your friends, and the best place to do that is at an ICE SKATING RINK!

heehee.....especially when it's your virgin experience.

Sigh....I actually don't know what possessed me to agree to going, maybe it was the foul mood
and the fact that I didn't want to be cooped up in my room on such a perfect day. IT was actually really sunny and the wind wasn't that bad.

SO midway through the afternoon at around 2, Kate pops by my room and asks me if i want to go skating and i'm like, ''Hell why not!'' Please bear in mind that i have never roller bladed ( well i did attempt once on rented skates and boy was that the last time i ever tried.) or skated, so really it was a reckless move, and i might have lost all my fingers, suffered a hip fracture or a concussion, but i was too pissed to really care.

so we went happily down to the ice skating rink by the beach, me, laura, nourah, kevin (laura's cousin) and Grant ( laura's boyfriend). We went in grant's car. we met up with kate and keith who had decided to just walk to the rink.

So we rented our skates, and off to the ice!
My goodness, walking with those bulky skates on the plastic mats was bad and scary enough, but the scary thing was getting on the ice. Haha...can't really account for much because i was basically wobbling here and there around the rink holding onto the railing for dear life and getting help from the more abled skaters here and there.
So here's the accident toll: fell on my bum three times!
BUT! I did achieve pretty much for a novice skater .... 3 rounds around the rink!

yup...so after we were done skating, we decided to walk back to the Halls as
grant and laura had to drop kevin off at his ship ( that's where he works).
It was loving walking along the beach, with the wind in our faces and the salty sea breeze all around us.
In the gathering dusk, the crash of waves and the cry of seagulls was really invigorating.
Apparently, you can see seals in the river Don. Was trying to seek them out in the purple twilight but was unsuccessful...maybe next time.

reached home, happy and sated.
Had a good night's rest.

Sigh... not too bad a turn around for an initially foul day.

We are having a fondue party at our flat this evening! YUMMY!
all the chocalatey goodness to melt the monday blues away!

Jaa ne!

2:35 AM

In a very bad mood today.
Reason: Badly interrupted sleep.

Last night I went to bed early in hopes of being able to rise early to do laundry before the crowds start to pour in. so I was in bed and asleep by 12 am. which is a very good record.

Within hours i was awoken by the fucking loud thumps of heeled footsteps resonating throughout the entire block. Source: Fucking imbeciles that live in the rest of the block, namely the flat opposite ours and the one below us. 88 and 89....better watch out.

So first of all I tried to close my eyes and bury my head under my duvet and pillow to drown out the sound because i was just too tired to get out of bed and complain. Than at 3 am, after having rolled around in bed getting increasingly irritated, laura starts knocking at my door and she wanted to know the number to call the porters to complain. So she got her boyfriend, grant to call the porters to complain, which he did.

Well, what can i say, basically, the porters came, they saw and then they left. Apparently the noise died down for like 5 min and once they left the noise was cracked up to an unbelieveable level. Fuck that bitch in flat 89! she has this 700 watt subwoofer which she happily turned up to head splitting levels such that we could hear the fucking disco and R&B music through the closed main door. At 4.30 I was really pissed and annoyed and my head was splitting and my chest was getting all tight and basically i felt so hot and annoyed i had to turn off my electric blanket.

Finally at 5.30am the music died down and basically i just fell asleep after an agonising 3 hour mental and physical torture. Curse them all! I hope their neurons have exploded, and that they get liver necrosis!!!!!!

I'm here now waiting for my laundry to get done. I have been up since 9.30am.

I'm just dying to get my hands on someone's neck and wringing it inside out!

okie today's update accounts for the guilt spending that has been occuring
sigh
sigh sigh sigh

my one weakness is good deals....sigh....

well today went into town, essentially the trip was for WINDOW SHOPPING and
to buy groceries for the week.
In the end ended up with lotsa other stuff

well.. it's not like they are useless stuff. They are stuff that i use...
but sigh....blame it on the exchange rates
but still they were pretty good deals which i dun think i can find over in singapore.
i suppose it's the thought of having spent that amount of money that is making me uneasy.

okie so this is the haul....

1) turtleneck top and satin pants from internationale at 6.95 pounds ( they were having a buy one get one free. the cheaper one is free. the turtle neck was 2.95 pounds and the pants were 6.95 pounds)

2) candles (5 pound) and cup (1 pound) from The Pier ( I love this place! especially when it's having sales! )

3) novels: The lovely bones (3.99 pound), two med books at 50p and 99p, another novel at 2.99 pound, a ring file set (1.49pound) at The Works. <>

4) groceries. (12 odd pounds)

yup that's it.

hehe....dun feel so guilty after all.

Okie...now onto something that i usually don't do.
I just have to criticise that inuyasha anime that i'm watching....
Yah...it's nice and funny and all that but after watching so many episodes ( currently at 120)
I'm getting decidedly irritated by the two main characters which are inuyasha and that girl kagome.
Wah say! I just cannot tolerate anime which have persistent whiny, whimpering, overly scared and protective female leads.

aargh....it's so unfortunate that she can't die. sigh....i think the best shows are those where the main character dies some horrible death....hehehe...

Well, all i can say is that the only thing that is keeping me watching the show is I want to know what happens in the end ( since i'm already that far ahead in the series), the music ( somehow, no matter how crap the anime is the music is always very nice. jap composers RULE!), and to watch those few episodes when sesshoumaru comes out ( sigh why is it always the case that the real cool characters dun get mentioned much?!)

okie...
I think i'm getting a tad bit too bored to be commenting on crap like this.
sigh....can't wait for school to start on monday.
Becoming addle brained at this rate.....

Oyasumi!

hehe...
in a particularly good mood today. hope nothing happens to spoil it.
would then be in a very bad mood.

hehe...as i've mentioned today is the day where our results get known...
hehehe.....hahaaha.....

well to keep you all from suspense...

Systems one paper ( consisting of both systems paper and anatomy ) = 19/20 CAS points
Basic Science paper = 20 / 20 CAS points

YAY! Thank you God! Have faith in the lord and he will deliver you through all evil and hardship!

okay..
CAS scheme. Basically it's a range from 1-20. you need to get at least a 9 to pass the exam.
so according to what you score they'll rank you.
And then according to which tier you are you'll get a particular CAS point.
At least that's what i understand.

in the first instance we don't even noe how much each paper is upon or how many marks
are awarded for each question. so basically we are doing the exam paper blind
hehe...quite an ingenuitive method of getting people to write as much as they noe huh?
hehe...kiauism pays off.

right...so back to downloading songs and anime music videos..
hehe...
I feel great!

But next week, the race begins again! hehe...the competition will be up a notch so.....

BRING IT ON!

Carpe Diem!

The Truth

Your angel seeks for the truth.
Your angel is part of you. Thus, you are the
kind of person who values honesty more than
most things in this world. You are
strong-willed, and a bit stubborn at times. In
love, you seek for someone who will understand
you, and never cheat on you. This would
probably hurt you a lot, as it would to a lot
of people. But it would probably hurt you the
most. You are brutally honest, and you voice
your opinions a lot. Go you!
