dad & mom brought me back to hk..
& i need to thank everyone over there..

dunno what to say now.. wont be replying the tags..

but i love u all my friends.. =)

Sry for the lack of update.. I felt really sick .. high temp and chest infection..

the fever isn't going away so it's quite scary.. i feel cold & hot, cold & hot..

i haven't got the mood to do much, and don't really have the appetite as well..

tml we're goin to bath, another part of uk.. im not sure if i can really take it..

monday is the first day of school so i really hope i'll be well by then..

my chest is always growling.. telling me to eat smth..

jo-an, jia-ying & andrea has been really gd to me.. cooking my share of food..

i probably am coughing so much that it scares them too...

enough of me.. how's everyone doing?

Just an update bout my feelings over here so far, if you don't like words. Shoo! :p

It's the 10th day here in Bristol and I feel much better already.
I was skyping with Mom on maybe the 4th day I think and I just broke down like a crybaby, telling her how much I want to go home. I told her how sick I was, running nose, sore throat, with the backache which never heals. There was no doctor to see, we didn't cook filling dinners and there wasn't enough water to drink.

Everything is so expensive and even crying scares me, because I was afraid I wouldn't have enough tissue or toilet papers to wipe or blow.

Yes I'm being very childish to be complaining since most people will want to be in my place. it's such a rare opportunity. But at that moment, I just want to be spoilt, to be protected, to still be Daddy or Mommy's girl.

Don't like to worry about spending too much on food, worry about whether I'm eating enough, about how I will get well, about how my back will get well without Mom rubbing for me every night anymore.

I just want to type all this down, to remember how the first time feels. I forgot where I read, whose blog was it but the first time is very important..

This is the first time I'm living without my parents doing things for me.
My first time to feel so empty and hopeless.
My first time to understand how good my home is, how good it is to have my family and everything that I have in Singapore.

maybe just a quick update.. show u all some photos taken these few days =)



we are actually in west of england, bristol. it's a small town but not say very small. i have no idea why the bristol bridge is so near us but the river has really lovely swans all the time!



i have some close up photos, but it's not very very near them since i'm UP and they're swimming down there..



they ate ice cream today.. i didn't eat since i still have my sore throat, but anyway it costs £1.20 or £1.50 and above for a cone.. which is like $4 and above? just a normal cornetto or plain cone..



a sunset photo for water. lol i know it sucks cos of the buildings blocking, but what to do.. i dont really like to spend the evening and night outside of my hostel without an adult or smth.. the bad people here looks really bad.. =(



this is our fullest or rather most filling dinner we ever had.. its lots n lots of ham, with veggies, very soft potatoes & carrots.. lovely omelette =)



tadah!! haha gingerbread man photo for glenn! so cute la.. but i can't eat them.. today i ate sausage roll and some corned beef thing for lunch!


im missing everyoneeee!!! & yw faster come out n webcam with me!!!

I'm staying in hostel today so I have time to blog! Let's see, today I'll show u all our way to the cathedral now first..



We walk past this road everytime we go to Asda aka Carrefour in Sg..


This house belongs to this poet who was borned and also passed away in there. His bodies and his family members' bodies are all buried in and around the cathedral that I will show u later.


It's quite a random shot but this is an ambulance. It was ringing/alarming actually when I took this photo. Actually we see it quite often on the street, maybe every 15 minutes or so there could be one passing by.



There! This is St. Mary Redcliffe.


its quite huge la. with alot of pretty lights & candles..


every side of the walls have these glasses but with different drawings. quite very amazing because they are all delicated to different people.






haha those straight photos are jo-an's cos im lazy to rotate mine, because mac is not so cooperative. lol anyway her blog is http://theuglypinkturtle.blogspot.com/ if u want to see other pictures, we update the same stuff but with different point of views.


so this is actually stones carved, stating "Here lies ________" and it's all over the whole floor of the church.




mm i think its a coffin but i'm really not sure, the words are creepy but holy =p



a ladybug crawling on a tombstone.. haha i think if u click and zoom in right.. its quite detailed..


OK! I shall talk bout another thing now, ASDA. As I was saying, it's a carrefour.
go see her blog for like other pictures if u want.. =p




i want to clarify !! i asked jo-an to help me take photo of wall-e toilet paper, she ended up taking both wall-e and spongebob! =S lol..

anyway ASDA is big without almost everything we need.. good right? hehe.. but it's 30 mins walk back to hostel..with heavy bags n stuff so i guess 20-25 mins walk to carrefour is quite ok..

ok im abit tired now.. so i'll continue later or tonight! =D

thankie much to all who came for me.. i love u all.. water, daryl, yw, xtine, mave, yy =)

plane flew off at 1am & we reached london after 13 hours..



we didn't take a very proper photo of the supper but this is for breakfast.. looks yummy? i think its quite good.. but there's lots of croissants here in uk.. we've been eating it for breakfast 2 days now..


nah its not our plane, i took this photo on the coach while on the way to collect my hostel keys.

sry i din rotate the photo, its my bed n half unpacked luggage.. its nice enough to me.. but the first night i had to slp in my slping bag cos we haven't got this bedsheet, blanket & pillow..


the other side of my room.. oh ya i cant go msn or skype. dunno why so i can only go read blogs, check emails.. do other surf web things.. haha..


this is quite random but its our dinner last night, got beansprout too actually but its not too visible.. not bad le lo..


look at that.. its plain noodles.. we swallowed that before eating our boiled egg.. this was on the first night when we have nth much at all..


we're trying all sorts of way to cook healthily, spend very little but eat till full..
to be honest, it's quite horrible to be worried bout every little small thing.
food, money. health. n yar i woke up with sorethroat & headache today already..

everything is so ex here, it costs 3 times more for everything..
i miss daiso n even ntuc so much.

so much more to do, the sch orientation starts in a few days time, our course orientation is after that..

pls let me put my life back on track n get ready for school..
everything is so suddenly changed that i do get frustrated bout very small things..
we don't eat on time & i'm always half air + half food = full..

n btw, it takes half an hr to boil water from my rice cooker.. =S
this sucks this sucks this sucks!

i must make my life better very soon!!!!!!

my head is feeling weird now, just watched Click, borrowed the dvd from esther..sob sob.. i cried so badly i feel nutty now. but it was a good cry, made me feel strange cos it teaches a big lesson and because i only have a few days left before i leave, it makes me think bout how im planning out my life.. what is impt and what's not so..

ok ya stop being emo penny.

whee so er these few days passed so fast..



was at jurong east, learning art from kowling, and playing with her daughter, ashley.. this 8 yr old girl is amazing.. say for eg,

Jiaying wants cheese and ashley went to get it for her..
jiaying says: "like servant"
ashley reply "im not servant, is u lazy to walk"

anyway she likes yw alot.. keep holding his hand n stuff.. want him to hold her up to take the photo.. hmm.. i think im abit jealous, but oh well.. =x
