May 2004

You seem to have trapped yourself in a corner, creating a situation in your personl affairs in which the only option is the one you now dont want. It's not as bad as you think: afterall, the only person keeping you trapped is you, and to escape all you have to do is say no at the right moment and walk away. The damage, both to heart and to your pride, will mend soon enough.

Dont play the martyr; move on

I'm in the mood to work 8-)

Sleepy eyes, I know.

Anyhows, for those who have been hoping and asking me to get fatter in London, you'll be happy to know that your wish has been fulfilled. I've trouble getting into my usual jeans and shorts nowadays !!!!

Sheeshhh, I've stil got like more than an hour before I've to leave for school.

Lol I just realised some of photos look like I'm promoting some kind of drama or sth hahah took me about an hour just to post everyth up in btw watching youtube videos and chatting on msn; I'm just too excited to do my work !

Christmas is comin ! HOHOHO

IT'S SUNDAY !!!!!!!!!! SO FAST !! Friday and Saturday came and went just like that. Tsk. How irritating & annoying. Sch's tmr, new project AGN.. but it's less vexing than the prev proj so it's alright haha

It's London 0025 now, Im waiting for my Singaporean friends to come online though it's highly unlikely that they will since it's a Sunday morning ! hahahaha most are probably still sleeping right now.

Yay, meeting my big brother later ! We're gng to have breakfast tgt as siblings, how exciting & amusing. We dont even do that when we were in Singapore and had all the time in the world hahah

My coming week is lik, packed packed packed ! Aiyohh so many things to do. I need to write them down.

HELLO DECEMBER IS HERE !! LIKE, FINALLY ?!?!?!!! HAHA.





My weekend was great, my week was great till like just now haha cos theres this korean girl in my course whos just so amazingly good ?!?!?! So now I feel so demoralised I dont wna go for crit tmr :( hahah

Anyway, I bought eggs a few days back so heres my new fried rice !


I think it smells better than it tastes though haha

Gosh, I rly rly cant wait for the weekend, and then the next !!!! Alright, I'm tired already haha bye !

It may surprise some of you to know that Chua Wei Lin has been spending more money at Iceland than at a H&M store or an online blogshop. Yes, grocery shopping is taking over my money and time, my life !!!

I decided to take bus from college today and while trying to find my 344 bus stop, I found a megahuge Sainsbury and just wanted to look for ahem, chocolate milk (which was obviously an excuse to pop in because I only drink Tesco's). And ended up buying 12packets of muller yoghurt (buy 6 for 2.96pounds & get another 6 free okay! If I eat one every day, it can serve as a countdown to the end of sch ! Absolutely brilliant! ) and 2 pieces of salmon (99p each!!!! ), but no, dint get any choc milk or manage to find the 344 bus stop hahah

& Just the other day at Iceland, I had to struggle for a good five minutes before putting the two packets of Aero mint choc back on the shelves haha go Wei Lin ! WILLPOWER. But hey, I must say my dinner is looking and tasting better and better each night alright.


Yeah, thats one of the salmon hahaha

I'm so lazy, I dont want to start work or pack my bag for Sussex :( So many things !! Sianzzxzxxx hahaah

My first fried rice ! Doesnt look very fantastic but at least it tastes decent ! I cooked rice without a rice cooker okayyyyy hahah would love to have an egg to go with the rice but dint have any!

Had a good day today (: was productive and my tutors told me that my stuff are quirky ! Oh and that I like to use weird materials lol, but being an art student who just have enough for everyday expenses, I have to use weird materials since I dont have anywhere I can just take things from (eg. your mum's kitchen/ house trashbin/ dad's toolbox). But anyway, even if i have more than enough money, it just doesnt seem wise to spend 4pounds on a pair of gloves which will be cut, stitched and drawn on.

Yes, I'm gng to find the One Pound shop tmr.

It was Angie's birthday last friday ! So we decided to surprise her on wednesday after cg (:







Before that, had lecture in the morning but it was as good as not attending at all cos I was sleeping the whole time :/ I did managed to stay awake during the film La Haine but the fire alarm rang halfway through and I dint go back aft that haha went straight to the SU bar for In a Nutshell ! (:

Was busy trying out all the cupcakes made by different people, sugar overload hahah but i still like the ones Jenny, Kate, Jia and I baked (:



And aft everyth, I went to meet Julia and Maggie before heading down for Alpha (they served pasta & carrot cake this time! :D). Totally worn out but all's good, at least theres been some progress ;) & yay, about two more weeks left before sch ends ! Plus, alpha weekend away is coming in less than 7days !

Anyway, I'm so glad weekends are finally here ! That said, it's coming to an end already :( It's sunday now & I've still got my A1 paper & photos manipulation to do ! According to Rae, it'll snow later on in the early morning !! Not sure if that's a good thing haha snow's pretty, but freezing out there isnt.


OH YES, I TALKED TO NG SHIMING & TAN YINGXIU LAST NIGHT (WHICH WAS THEIR VERY EARLY MORNING !) HAHA :DD YES, I WAS AND STILL AM VERY HAPPY .

But okay, I dint miss today's service hahah but I mixed up my timings up too and so I thought I had all the time in the world until I realised that svc does not start at 5pm !!!!

Lol, today was good still. Had beef hor fun & icecream cone after that. Nope, dint have my mcflurry because I forgot that I was on a chocolate fast HAHA. Ahhh, im still craving for eggtarts though :( And steamfish, lol.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !

I know, not quite your air stewardess from the dead haha at least i tried ! I wanted to be a white witch though, long story.

But anyways, had good fun ! My very first halloween party since I was born haha and I am delighted to announce that I am now recovering already from the really bad cold I had. It's getting colder and colder each day, it snowed two days ago !! In autumn !




Jiayi's reaction to one of the many cars covered in snow ! haha of course, it's not all fun, we almost froze to death while on the way back to College Hall. Grabbed supper at tesco on the way back !



Stayed over at my brother's hall and went to college the next day for CU meeting before heading back to my own hall for my dinner date with Rena and Phoebe :D



Cooked by..




Washed by..


And we suddenly had this urge to eat icecream ! So we took a bus down to Sainsbury at Angel just to get

Halfbaked Ben&Jerrys !!!!


Happy People (:

Okay sorry I've not been updating haha I've been out and about thats why.

17OCT
Met up with Xiaoting and her friend MeiHui ! Brought them to shop at Primark & they got boots ! haha & for those who are stubborn and do not want to get facebook still, here are pictures of us happy shoppers:





Anyhows, it's quite surprising to see so many Primark shoppers like EVERYDAY. I was on the bus just the other day and just one photo i took, has at least 4 Primark paper bags in it.





18OCT
Went to Notting Hill Gate; really beautiful place selling mostly antique stuff which were out of my budget haha so i ended up grocery shopping ! Yes, thats my hobby now- grocery shopping !





19OCT
Went to church with Jiayi, no pictures haha but as usual, pub after svc, then dinner ! Oh oh, went for the student lunch thing before that ! But, I was like, the only student who went ??? HAHAHA ohwell, I got my stomach filled anyway. Tanya cooks super delicious food !! Lik, SUPER. Oh yes, Loriane's brother came to London and he cooked for our D2 people and I came back in time lol. But I only ate the pasta which was also very very delicious (yes I am very ashamed of my inability to cook).

20OCT
Second week of media ! Videocalled with OH SHIYI !! haha


21OCT
Made pasta for myself.

Felt very healthy, cos I dint use oil at all haha

Dint sleep that night cos I was totally brain-damaged ! Couldnt think of any ideas for my media projects but thank God for inspiration which came even in the wee hours of the morning.

22OCT
I dint sleep during contextual studies !! Well, I thought I would haha
Went to Euston to meet my brother for 99p subway sandwich :D, then he helped me set my printer up. & we saw a shop selling some halloween accessories at one corner !


This will be my last resort if i cant find anyth to dress up in HAHA it's 1.99pounds only k. But Jiayi says that I cant use it cos wings dont grow on heads, lol.

23OCT

I miss CHC & E406 !!!!!! Anyway, I've only got two pictures cos my battery went flat after that hahaha
