Back to notts

I'm back at Nottingham!

Many thanks to the people who prayed for me in church and at home, and to those who sent me off at the airport!
Thanks especially to James, Loyalle and Weichuan for coming and for their very thoughtful gift! :) I really like it.

I had a safe flight; didn't suffer from travel sickness. I have overcome it! Thank God. Touched down in London Heathrow at 530am; got the National Express bus at 7am and it was another 3+ hours to the Nottingham bus station. Arrived early, looked for my luggage; looked up- and lo and behold, there was Vincent right in front of me! Haha I'm sooo happy to see him again. :)

Managed to stay awake for the whole day, thereby fighting off the jetlag. Walked around town with Vincent to buy a few essentials, then to Broadgate to change my standard room to a studio, then to Sainsbury's to shop for groceries to cook at Xuanee's place. Vincent cooked for us- will post photos soon. :) Afterthat unpacked, slept then went to Fidelia's midnight surprise party. Hehe somebody is 21 years old!!! Happy Birthday FiFi!!!

Yes Mum, the change to a studio room is successful!

Today woke up early to do more unpacking and FINALLY finished. Will start studying today.

leaving on a jetplane

I leave Singapore for the UK this Sunday. How quickly 1 month has flown by. :(
This time I leave not with mixed feelings of fear and excitement but with the sense of unfinished business. Things left unspoken and undone (on my part)- how I wish I had more time or more initiative. Went to visit my grandma in hospital last night; she looked very faraway. We all felt very sad. Just pray that her pain will be alleviated and more importantly, that God's will be done. But I trust that my family, friends and relationships are in God's safe hands. And I will be back in 2 months time!!! Hahaha! This time no more exams to study for. :D

One among the many I will miss- who also woke me up in the middle of the night.
Attention-grabbing Whisky!!! Super cute!!

Friends and family

I'm back home! Have been since last Sunday and boy am I enjoying it. :)
Been super jetlagged the whole of last week but have since recovered from it after Kor's wedding. Kor's wedding was wonderful! It was full of joy and glory to God. Very happy for Kor and Jamie who are on their honeymoon now.

It's been great shopping, eating and meeting up with my family and friends.
I am a very happy girl. :) Have not been studying though!

Unfortunately I have not uploaded all the recent pictures taken in Singapore onto the com yet, so dear friends, you guys have to wait!

People I've met up with include:

1. VJC friends at Ichiban Sushi where Wei kindly shared her $30 voucher with us. Much fun, animated talking, laughing and photo-taking! I love you girls. :)
2. BLC youth, aunties and uncles at BLC itself during Kor's wedding. Nice warm feeling meeting the people who watched me grow up, also those with whom I grew up.
3. Brighton friends in church, which proceeded with an outing to Vivocity! Alot of excited squealing and hugging. Haha I was "re-introduced" to the Young Adults group, which was quite amusing.
4. Shopping spree with Shella in town, followed by Bugis hawker dinner with XinXin and Eugene.

Tomorrow will be a sisterly outing to Cheh's house where we'll watch DVDs, view each other's pictures and eat the much-anticipated Japanese meal Cheh is going to cook!! :)

Friday- cell group outing to Sentosa where we'll have our sharing and discussion by the beach! Nice!

Home sweet home

Saying goodbye...
