new hairstyle


At Cafe Uno, which had a very cosy Italian atmosphere. Unfortunately the food was disappointing so we adjourned to Pitcher & Piano for the delicious brownie and chocolate cocktail! :)

I like my hair now- it's alot thinner and lighter... Haha. This shot is for Mummy who wants to see my new hairstyle!

Anyway, Spring is beautiful but I haven't really got the chance to truly enjoy it yet. I'm really worried about the upcoming exams, in a month and a half's time. Also I've got this 18 page legal research essay about criminal law which is giving me a BIG headache. I spent about a week just contemplating its structure. And I've got a week left to write it. Terribly worried to the point that I'm not sleeping well at night. :( Please send me your support!!

I realise I've difficulty remembering the day-to-day events of my uni life as I haven't been journalling. Hence I shall attempt to blog more. There isn't really anything exciting to blog about though.

Went to the library today in a bid to start my 18 page legal research essay on intoxication.
So many Brits were there too; why didn't they just go home?!! If I could I would go home too. :(
Anyway, it's such a difficult question. I'm clueless as to its structure.
Would I advice anyone to do law? Only if they're smart, analytical, disciplined and able to work really really hard. Of late I have been extremely distracted, slow and unmotivated when it comes to studies. It's terrible how I waste sooo much time doing nothing. I've got to stop this sluggish attitude!

Sigh so much work to do even during the holidays. :( How to enjoy?
On the bright side, V and I have been watching movies almost every night during dinner. Last night we cooked yong tao foo ourselves!!! :D Cool right? Watched 200 Pounds Beauty as we ate. I've got a sudden craze for Korean movies; we've watched My Sassy Girl and Windstruck again.
Jun Ji Hyun is soooooo pretty.

Beef balls
I was whining how Vincent always got to do the fun stuff like making the beef balls while I, as the designated washer-woman always had to fulfil my washing duties and chopping. So this crazy boy mized up ALL the nicely done balls into a huge lump and told me that I could make it again! At first I was really mad at him but when I started moulding the beef into balls I couldn't help but smile. Unconventional, certainly not practical but he loves me all the same.

Taking over the dishes. Heh heh!
Steamed minced prawn on tofu! :)
The Japanese cat keychain which he bought for me on Sunday. I told him I had a cat pouch exactly like this, but the cat dropped out of the pouch, so he secretly bought it and slipped it into my shopping bag!! I didn't even know. tsk tsk tsk. Now it hangs proudly on my notice-board, a cute and cheerful reminder to study hard! :) Sunday outing to the city was really fun, we went shopping at GAP (sale again!) where I got sneakers for 5pounds, a whopping one-seventh of its original price and a striped formal shirt at half price (15pounds). He got jeans and my sneakers, paid by his 25pound birthday gift voucher from the girls. We went for sushi buffet at Skinny Sumo :) Vincent will be frying teppanyaki there in 2 weeks time! Haha! He's teaching A level law tuition as I type this. What an industrious boy. I'm proud of him!

new bicycle

I bought a new (2nd hand) Raleigh bike today! I loooove it! It's alot better than my current bike- more gears, newer tires and stronger frame. Riding up the hill doesn't take the wind out of me anymore. Previously, my lungs were always choking for air, my heart thudding explosively, my knees aching from the frantic uphill peddling. So yay! It was a good deal for a good bike; I got 20 pounds reduced from the original price. I'm happy with my new silver bike :D Vincent helped me to choose it. I will post pics of it soon! I never thought I'd be biking to school and my neighbourhood- cos the only place I used to bike was at East Coast Park back home! Was very afraid initially but I'm proud to say I'm a real pro on the road now. Hehe

Went to eat hot pot last night to celebrate Jenn's early bday. She's such a great girl- So confident and matured; I can't believe she's younger than me. Pictures will be up soon! Went to Pitcher & Piano afterthat; it's a church converted into a bar (blasphemous I know) where we had meaningful conversations and the most delicious chocolate brownie. To Dazz- I'll bring u and Daddy there when u visit!

Anyway, the Easter holidays start this Friday!
Not much of a holiday though cos the year end exams are after that.

Oh I cut my hair too! It's much thinner and I've got a fringe now. I like it- a big change from my previous hairstyles! Again, pics will be up soon.

Sorry all the posts are about random superficial things.

Updates

I'm sick. Down with flu- Stuffy/runny nose, sore throat and general fatigue.

Because of that, Vincent and I missed going to the Peak District with Cat and Andy, who were going to drive us there! :(

Don't worry about me though, because the boyfriend is taking very good care of me. He cooked oxtail/beef kuay teow soup for me and or beh (a chinese glutinous rice dessert) recently. With all his 5-star culinary skills, you'd think I'd put on weight but I've actually lost weight! Yay! Haha

Anyway, good news because he got an internship in Singapore too!! In August so all you people back home who are so excited to meet him can finally do so.

And my Dermalogica products arrived at my doorstep yesterday. :)
I was actually starting to doubt the online company that I bought it from because it'd been 3 days when I expected next-day delivery but those doubts were unfounded. Excellent products with free samples! I LOVE Dermalogica, their products are very effective, gentle and best of all, smell fabulous.

Ok gtg now.. Bye!
