dedicated to u, ronny~

Happy CNY guys....

Due to the exam period, I couldn't go out much, but I did go to this one CNY fair held at UCL's Singaporean society. Lemme just tell ya, there are a heck load of Singaporeans here in the UK, studying...I think the whole country moved here! And they know each other too!!

This is my Singaporean friend who is a super genius, EM1 type student (hint : i not stupid).



Guess what they're selling!!!




KAYA TOAST!!! Oh yeah~ for 1 POUND a piece !!!


SAGO drink!! For a whopping 1.50...POUNDS!!!


Kacang Putih (yeah, they mispelt it). Would u like a teeny weeny bag for 0.80p??


Caligraphy contest...See, he's not even chinese!


London's longest 'lo hei', so they say!
Well, that's done...guess if I'd bought anything...go on! NO~!! Haha....1.50 pounds for milo and 2.50 pounds for a mua chi is kinda too much...See, ron...this is why I don't have pictures of gourmet food like u have! Unless, u know...u come here and pay it for me ^^!! Honestly, I even think TWICE before I use a piece of tissue...GAH!! *wipes snot off on sleeve*
While I was slaving away trying to understand the stinking urea cycle or how non-visible (can we even say they exist!) electrons jump around on a piece of paper, my super duper EMI friend, Philana and a Cynthia (short intro: studying law at UCL, HKie, sweet!), went to bake some EGG TARTS!!! Egg tarts, I tell you...

Despite of the fun:work ratio pictures I have...believe me when I say....I only spent around 1/2 an hour at the CNY fair...and the next 2 weeks staring blankly at my notes and textbooks...
CHEMISTRY....I DESPISE THEE~~





Oh...and here's one for the CODE GEASS fans...LOL! Took a shot of this at the frozen section of a supermarket.

~~Thru my eyes~~

A month flew by, in just a blink of an eye...woah, I made it rhyme! Today's the last the last day of my winter break. GARGANTUAN SIGH~!!!

I haven't taken as many pictures as before and you'll be able to see some of my holiday events posted up on someone else's blog or facebook page. Sure, you've seen the Eifel tower, the Champ avenue place and the louvre a million times repeated on Eric's or Chan Ging's blog/facebook page. But here's MY version of Paris...The city of romance, through my eyes...and of course we know, my eyes are *special*! Hee hee~

Ah...Paris, so full of culture, art and ancient history...as can be seen in this photo below...

Having had 3 meals a day of French Mcdonald's, KFC and Quick Burger for the first 3 days...we figured we were being too cheap and had a proper French dining~
Eric wasn't too happy about it...^^"

We went to the LOUVRE............
.......and learnt that the oh-so-popular-and-adorable ~smileys~ were invented by the Egyptians!

*wink*

Although it was the holidays, we thought it was GREAT that we could gain knowledge during our vacation...However, some people have odd ways of learning; imitation, for example...
bizzare....but effective~

Some.....indulge artwork in a very passionate and excrutiatingly emotional way~




In Paris, the means of transport for most is by Metro (also known as, the tube, subway, MRT in various parts of the world). We were impressed by the emphasis placed upon 'safe sex' by the Parisian transport services, but also quite disturbed as to how and where they could have possibly require the item.


* Why not...there's a discount too~*
We discovered there are very many unclothed (i.e. naked, bare) statues of both men and women around Paris. But of course, as sophisticated university students here in Paris to learn about their unique culture, we are VERY mature about it...

*they just couldn NOT resist it...*

It was a very grand experience, visiting Paris...and I can feel myself just a little wiser and knowledgable than before...such as:
1) always looking down to prevent stepping on doggie poo littered every square inch of the streets of Paris
2) avoid visiting Paris when it is below 0 degrees celcius
3) master French before going back as there are NO English signs...



Back in London, I had the chance to see how sausages are sold in markets...
...as piles of massive, squidgy, intestine looking masses...

It was always raining in London and I had a very strong urge to purchase this very creatively designed umbrella....too bad i was feeling broke then.....greatest regret of my life, not buying this lovely thing...

I went to a German Christmas market and had a German sausage of pork, beef and cheese...Yum~

This fella, had his first ever raw oyster...
Pretty obvious it's his first, as it seems like he's gonna down the shell too...

complete randomness

....of my room...

Of course, it's exam season again. Thus, my complete lack of diligence to revise but to ramble complete nonsense on this page for various strangers to indulge upon...

In my theory, to understand a person just a little better, we must observe this individual in his/her own natural habitat. What better place than to discover that person's innermost intimates, than the havenly sanctuary they call their bedroom.

Today, you shall feast your eyes on an unknown mystery known to mankind. Hidden from the world and only seen by a rare handful of unfortunate souls who, after several psychiatric therapies and attempted interviews, reported as an experience they vow never to repeat. The look of disgust, according to medical experts, is an unfortunate side effect and shall be permanent.

Fellow earthlings, I give you.....my bedroom...*famous track from Jaws blasts from nowhere*

...Where funny-monkey looks down upon you, literally



...Where 3/4 of my shelf is filled with books of my most failed subject since high school

Where Ribena, Hot Choc and Jelly Beans reign. The cod liver oil is just for show. (No..mommy, I was kidding! Yes, mommy!! I do take it, mommy! Yes, everyday, mommy!! No, mommy, I'm not lying..no!!! Don't smack me!!) Cod liver oil reigns too...*sniffle*



...where the LAWS hung upon the notice bored are strictly obeyed


...Okay, I think I'll stop the act and be normal, for now....

And below, we have an Oreo cookie of the mini verson...X) mmm~ mini oreos...


...Over here, we have a toothbrush holder of a dog with the handle of my toothbrush sticking out of his er....bum.


My one and only, trustworthy, hot water bottle...mmm~ soft and warm...


...On the window sill is where I display my collection of happy meal toys and other randon knick-knacks.



...I love colours...


...This bouncy space hopper replaces the bum-supporter (or more commonly known as, the chair) provided by my hall...that's why I go 'boing' all the time...




...A lil' bit of artistic touch to the wall...


...Hang on a spatula for a bit of boldness and contrast on the notice board...




And VOILA~~ you have my room....X)

Oh yeah...let's not forget the heart of my crib...THE BED! Friends tell me it suits me perfectly...Wonder why...
