Life goes on

The start of 2nd year is closing in and I'm really excited. *warning nerd-self ahead* I miss jotting down notes from lectures, listen to how my lecturers lay out what we have to learn in such a simplistic manner, and of course the learning process. Also, turning lecturers into white noise when it's just too early in the morning and if the content is dry. I dislike labs the most but to my surprise I've scored it highest amongst everything else - in my oversized lab coat and my apparent large green lab gloves, I feel like a little girl trying on mummy's high heels and jewelry again.

No optional units this year and I'm quite happy with that..I've signed up for pure chemistry after all.

Time to get serious.

mmm on M&M's :D

Had dinner at China Town last night with my sister then decided to go into the new M&M's store right around the corner at Leicester Square.

The store was pretty impressive! 4 floors of merchandise - chocolate of course, clothes, mugs, chess pieces, key rings, soft toys, frisbees, accessories e.g earrings, magnets, x-mas deco, and so many more..you name it they got it.

Bottoms up!

Interesting Periodic table...

Bumped into 2 friends that I haven't seen for years in the store :)

We didn't buy anything in the end. Maybe next time!

Like the good times

Just running around London like I did a a few years back.

It's good to have some 'me time' trod-ing around the city. I might just hop in the National British Museum..I've been to the Natural History Museum far too many times (though I can't recite every single detail on every artifact but good enough to know where dead fish and dead dinosaurs are).

The weather forecast doesn't look good from tomorrow onwards but I'm glad I've done some walking around at the high streets :) I must say London treated me quite well since I came back - with the sun shining with fluffy white clouds against the silver-grey sky, and an optimum temperature of 15-20 degrees :)

I missed this bit of London (and not the doom and gloom one..nobody misses that)

All in one breath

There are some people that you meet in your lifetime who you can't spend a lot of time with because they are just too far away in another country but you think they're wonderful as you click so well with them and you wish life could be more fair to you instead of making you wonder how life would be like if you did have the chance to invest more on the friendship face to face and not just typing the occasional personal inbox messages to seek solace in using pixelised smiles and laughs which is definitely no where near the real thing and I gave up being frustrated about this a long time ago, I think.

..and London says welcome back

It was too warm in the airport.

I was hungry, tired, and so very lethargic.

The way to the underground station seemed to go on and on..it was a long tunnel.

I was exasperated. Finally got there and was rewarded with the familiar sounds of the tube 'Please mind the gap between the train and the platform'

I got off my stop and a nice chap about my age offered to carry my luggage up the stairs. I liked his shoes.

I was still in my T-shirt..it wasn't too cold. As I turned the corner, a gentle breeze greeted me, as expected. There was a bit of rain..small drops..typical.

I fell into a deep sleep..dreamt that I was good friends with Jun Ho (a korean singer in 2pm) and some fantasy tale about a missing triplet.

My adventure ended at the climax of the story when I woke at half past seven in the morning. Took a nap at 9. And now I'm awake again feeling that a whole day has gone to past but it's only 11am.

Jetlag, y u no faster go away??

:)

Just thought it might brighten up your day :)

The little things that I would miss

3 more days.
