how often in life can you do things this crazy? yesterday i was woken up by may ling's call at 11ish in the morning, asking me to go on a day trip to brighton. i was in a blur, because i had just opened my eyes. the next thing i knew, less than 3 hours later, i was in brighton! one of the coastal towns of england. the rocky beach was really cool, especially for londoners like us who have been landlocked for the past few months. it was lovely to see the english channel (or 'channel five', as may ling would put it. get it? hahah) right before our very eyes.
one of the most exciting things at brighton would be the brighton pier, where we went crazy in a small fun fair. we rode the bumper car! how nostalgic. i dont think, even in singapore, we get to take such a cool ride in the traditional way often.
the mad day didnt end just there. i rushed back to london at 7ish, just in time to meet my dear diana for dinner at nandos. finally, ive satisfied my cravings for peri-peri sauce with grilled chicken. yummmm! definitely one of my favourite food places in london! i actually miss nandos when im back in singapore. hahah.
adrenaline rushes like these really make university life a lot more memorable. impromptu trips proved to be really really fun!
oh, i must mention that im totally hooked onto gossip girl. thanks to guan the preedddyyy woman! hahah. nathaniel archibald is my latest beau. gosh, check that hair out. and the eyes. hahah.
chuck bass: define 'like'.
blair waldorf: oh! you've GOT to be kidding. i do NOT believe this.
chuck: how do you think i feel? i haven't slept. i feel sick, like there's something in my stomach fluttering!
blair: butterflies? oh, no! no, this is NOT happening.
chuck: believe me, no one is more surprised or ashamed than i am.
blair: chuck, you know that i adore all of God's creatures, and the metaphors they inspire. but butterflies have got to be murdered.
you know you love me.
xoxo

maybe one day they'll all be forgotten and erased, maybe they won't. maybe one day things will be right again, maybe they won't. but just so you know, one day i will emerge stronger and more mature. thanks for the past joy, the current pain and the uncertain future, really.
christina aguilera - the voice withinyoung girl, don't cry, i'll be right here when your world starts to fall.
young girl, it's all right, your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly.
when you're safe inside your room, you tend to dream
of a place where nothing's harder than it seems.
no one ever wants or bothers to explain
of the heartache life can bring and what it means.
when there's no one else, look inside yourself.
like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within.
then you'll find the strength that will guide your way,
if you will learn to begin to trust the voice within.
young girl, don't hide, you'll never change if you just run away.
young girl, just hold tight, and soon you're gonna see your brighter day.
now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed,
it's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid.
no one reaches out a hand for you to hold,
when you're lost outside, look inside to your soul.
when there's no one else, look inside yourself.
like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within.
then you'll find the strength that will guide your way,
if you will learn to begin to trust the voice within.
life is a journey. it can take you anywhere you choose to go.
as long as you're learning, you'll find all you'll ever need to know.
you'll make it. just don't go forsaking yourself.
no one can stop you. you know that i'm talking to you.
when there's no one else, look inside yourself.
like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within.
then you'll find the strength that will guide your way,
if you will learn to begin to trust the voice within.
young girl don't cry, i'll be right here when your world starts to fall.

actually, i don't have much to say. i just am in the mood to blog after reading many other people's and i thought, "hmm, my blog looks so empty, desolated and lackluster in comparison!" so i decided to just do something about this.
so CNY is round the corner! once again i'm spending it in chilly london, instead of humid singapore. all the red packets i've missed out on! i should totally marry 3 years later than all those who didn't study overseas to recoup my losses. hahah.
anyway, speaking of marriage, over yummy diced chicken with steamed rice, served with runny egg ("wah dan kai fan" or whatever it's called, i'm not cantonese so pardon me), the random topic of army officers and sword weddings came about. i have no idea why! but yes, we did have a brief mention of that. and i came home, bearing that thought in mind. now i'm thinking, it IS really cool to have a sword wedding! i mean, yes i want a nice church wedding. but then, a sword wedding is really nice too! the groom wouldn't be in a boring suit but his uniform. waaahhh, how manly is that! hahah. imagine, a groom dressed in uniform, walking down the aisle, and the guests sitting on the pews admiring this gallant knight who is willing to take a huge step towards commitment. awwww! i love weddings! :)
diana is going to marry her chef, mr curly wurly mustache of the little mermaid, and have a "knife" wedding. hahahah.
AHHH. so cute! my sister, nique-key, and my dog, louie bouie! hahah. he looks so much like a plush toy. as i've said, he is NOT like a typical poodle. hmph! cutieeeeee!
AHHH. i miss home!
on a brighter note, i've annihilated my family essay! i totally didn't reach the word limit, but who cares. now i can say "three down, one to go".
