whoo, thinking back, this week has been some kinda emotional rollercoaster for me. basically its just me feeling really really homesick and certain things happening back home made me really unhappy. but its affected my mood the whole week, and even the studying bit? i've just been surfing thru my recommended readings coz i HAVE to and not actually absorbing anything.. sigh
and its the christmas season and everyone's geared up for PARTYING and i'm like the wet blanket. basically just not interested in wasting my money on clubbing, rather sit in like Bia Hoi and drink white russian/ pink russian or sth. which reminds me i'm BROKE.
i don't noe what i do with my money, considering i'm always trying to save here and there, but like woah.. ok i bought stockings and long black socks coz its getting freaking cold [it was 0 degrees at 12noon today], and leg warmers! haha.. and so after school, which was a 4hr lect in the lt with NO HEATING today [it says alot about the finances of the med school] i went to the city centre to do christmas shopping for the 3 of them. i got a "grow a boyfriend" from robyn. just in case ur wondering, it's this rubber-ish thing, and when you put it in water, it GROWS. and i got a Mr T Bubble Bath from minoli, which is bubble bath in a muscular man figurine. all takin a good swipe at my lack of love life. HAHA.
bought their presents all at M&S, and when i was there i was just drooling at all the food at the food hall and at the back of my mind cursing the fact that i'm so @#$%^$% poor. [btw, i'm in a bit to stop cursing. coz it seems i'm such a pushover i've been influenced in "spicing" up my language to suit the NORM here, that i realised once i go home i'd be labelled as an UNREFINED woman.] well ok, i had to get milk anw, so i subcummbed to 4 carrot and walnut muffins.
and den it was still 0 degrees, and i was standing waiting for the bus, and den i saw 80 and i ran for it[80 stops RIGHT OUSIDE my house]. and den of coz after like 20mins into the bus journey, i was wondering why the bus was travelling such a weird route, to realise my low power contact lenses read 90 as 80. again i was like @#$%. dropped at some place i knew, and i walked UPHILL WITH ALL MY HEAVY SHOPPING. finally reached home, too hectic day, unwinding now with a cup of earl grey. though i really need to do some studying. i have 1 more week [which seems so hard to pass] to finish up all my work.
robyn left for manchester today, and flying off tomorrow. was over at her place watching her pack to say bye, and i really really really really x10 can't wait to go home.
got a christmas party at minz place later in her kitchen, and den staying over at vaso's coz i do not fancy walking back in this freezing temperature.
i was killing time between lunch and lessons at the Health Sciences Library today, [unlike what my coursemates are doing, pouring over Kumar & Clarke, or at the computer room printing lecure notes] i was checking the weather for HK. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA, well i have to prepare like warm clothes to bring home in case hong kong's winter is cold wat, but errr 16-22? haha i think i'm just gonna bring home a cardigan and wear short sleeve tshirts or sth.
yes btw, its really funny hearing vaso [my cyprian friend] speak more and more like a singaporean [i nvr really noticed how we sound like, till i heard her speak], and its hilarious. coz there's me, robyn and jinn, and when the 3 of us speak, you can see the bewildered look on their face when all the lah lee lors comes up.HAHA
i am rambling alot aint i, prob in one of the better moods i've been over the week.
oh random fact, i've alr made a mental note which jeans to wear on board the plane, and which ones to pack. and i'm buying sommerfields chocolate chip cookies to bring along on my train/plane journey from sheffield - london. and my campaign to clear my freezer is coming along pretty well! [just a random info, i had like meatballs, sausages, frozen pasta, char siew pau, chicken pau, fishballs, 5drumsticks, 2 porkribs, 2 chicken breast, frozen apple crumble] i do in fact still have rhaspberry jam, NUTELLA (3/4 full), peanut butter, Thorton chocolates, ginger snaps, salt&vinegar chips, lemon chicken & thyme chips. typing this out makes me realise i do have alot of SNACKS. [shh i act have 1 and a half packets full of MILO sachets, and 1 box of HELLO PANDA]
ok i've bored the shit out of everyone, but can't seem to stop. nxt wk at this time, i'd be packing my bag, eating pizza with tracey and min and vaso, all happy and excited to go home. 1 more week, 1 more week, 1 more week of removing hearts & lungs and squinting eyes to spot arteries and veins from Netter's or Snells, or to read Underwood's or basically, to just sit in that BLOODY FREEZING LT.
now i'm buzzing off, see you guys in 9days [8days till i fly off though!]
