The weather had been quite warm these days.
I'm talking about 10 - 13 degrees.
Yup, finally i dont have to wear 5 layers a day @@
Like today, wore 4 layers and i had to remove 1 cos it was a little too warm.
Hehe, good good.
Hopefully this can continue, and soon i can only wear 1 layer.
Yeah!
Well that would also mean i have to go on diet before that,
else 1 layer everyone can tell how fat i've become.
Aiks!

Anyway, i'm here cos i'm all excited to post pics me n odelia took in the post office.
We both walked SO FAR in the cold to town just to post 1 CNY card (hers) and 1 box of souvenirs for the LHC committee.
Why?
Cos we are SINCERE!!
Paid a lot lor!
Heartache, but happy =)
cos its finally posted.
We said we would have to eat biscuits or subway from then on.
Cos subway, though counted expensive, is one of the best bargains among other food over here.
We can get a breakfast sub (6'' egg & sausage bread) for £0.99 (RM6.50/SGD3)..
Thats considered cheap..
See how expensive food can be =(

pics below: wearing 5 layers k!


Me writing stuff in the box,
cos if i include any notes/cards, i will be made to pay extra for it.
They said its cheaper to send cards/letters separately than if i put it into the box.
So well, as a product of a kiasu environment,
I wrote in the box!
So u guys, keep the box well!!
Haha, the guy in blue beside me,
he kept staring at me writing..
I think he has never met a singaporean before..

Shan't tell u what i've writted,
shan't tell u what i've sent.
Just wait and see =)
oh, and we took videos of me posting the parcel =)
And WANTED to take photos of me posting it too..






Haha, that was just so random.
Anyway,
both of us only realized AFTER we took the video that the parcel was already inside, and we havent taken any photos with it.
Laughed like hell.
Noticed that there were no photos of Odelia?
That cunning girl didnt give me any photos of herself.
Haha, cos most of them were taken from her camera..
What fun is it posting only photos of myself?!
Hmmmm...
Hehe, and we went for a little shopping after that at urban outfitters.
Finally i bought something, other than my shoes (which looks old now, time to buy another pair) and the souvenirs.
Sounds pathetic right?
Haha, expensive leh!
Dinner that night was in a restaurant in Chinatown..
Held by the Singapore Society.
Aiya anyone could attend.
Even a caucasion attended, what Malaysian?
Expensive also.
12 pounds!!!
Well maybe for a 10 course dinner in manchester, thats considered dirt cheap.
But for me from Malaysia, thats a whole RM80 man!!!
My wallet is bleeding, so is my heart.
But how can i not have a feast for CNY eve????

Nice angpow with 2 pence chocolates.
The second i've received for CNY so far this year.
Haha, the first was from TOM & GONGLEI!!
when they saw me off.. haha
TOUCHED LAH!


The group photo of NUS exchange students (excl Jonathan who had steamboat with his friends from Penang), SMU exchange students, and 1 hong kong student.


NUS gang with the OTHER priscilla from SMU (in red), and Agnes from HongKong (far right)

The 2 beautiful babes from NUS.
Oh correct me please,
the 2 OTHER beautiful babes from NUS.
The 3rd one took the picture.
FINALLY a good and fulfilling meal after having subways and bread for the whole time.
Though the food was in SUPER SMALL portions..
I had lots of red bean soup after the meal though..
Miss deserts so so so much!!
Thai Express's red bean coconut icecream..
i miss u!
We then had a karaoke contest.
Contestants were made up of one from each table.
From our table, Raymond from SMU.
He sang some singapore national day song and because of that won himself 3rd place.
Haha, rocks lah, he edited the lyrics to suit our situation too.


And the other contestants?
8 out of 10 made us give these kinda reactions:

Thats Eugene from SMU


Thats my disgusted face when somebody SIMPLY sang Westlife's Flying without wings.
Omgosh lah that idiot who sang this song didnt even know how to sing it.
He just read the words nevermind, he changed the tune to some i dont know how to explain tune.
Super annoying.
After dinner,
we went to hang out at the SMU gang's cluster.
Woah, played cards, talked cock, played polar bear game, drank (they 3 in the pic below only) until 4am!!!


It was really fun lah.
Their hall has a cool hang out place,
but too bad it isnt sound proof.
We were told off by some hall resident who was sick.
Opps..

Oh, and that was my reaction when i was made to tell the polar bear joke.
Again ..
Yaya i know i know, my infamous polar bear joke that never fails to crack me out.
Sucks lah when every other person was laughs at me when i laugh at the joke.
But i still enjoy telling it.
its really the funniest joke ever okay?!
Oh, and we were made to move to another room in another block when some drunkards came back from the pub carrying a totally knocked out girl.
One of the guys was swearing all the way like
'F**K F**K F**K that F**KING SHIT'
wtheck.
He should have expected these kinda situation when he wants to club.
Scared of others being to heavy then dont lah let them drink so much.
wtheck.
Come back n F**K F**K F**K at everyone only pisses off the innocent.
Hello? we werent the ones drinking with that F**KING SHIT okay.
Somemore they werent very gentle with the girl.
They just dumped her at the grass patch while asking us to move.
I was so scared lah that they will hit me or something.
So i said(secretly in my heart), drink in moderation!
And since it was so late in the night when we left,
i dared not walk back alone and hence spent a night in Shermaine's room.
Thanks Shermaine!
She has a really cosy room =)
Thats all for CNY eve.
CNY day was spent in the lecture hall.
and today the 2nd day, in the library and in the lecture hall again.
Haih, so i said no cny mood lor..
I'll be going to Leeds tomorrow with Odelia and Jonathan,
and Daniel will be bringing us around.
Hoooray!
At last i dont have to feel neutral.
Not happy nor sad, which i experience it everyday.
I'm still looking forward to leaving this place in bout 4 months time..
Haih, when will my exchange be super fun that i dont wanna leave?
