Lost in thoughts

under the GLASWEGIAN sky...

wow WOW wow. I've finally gotten off my lazy bum and started to post something since I came to UK. Ok, maybe it's coz I've FINALLY (at very very very long last) received my 'gold for 100k' in that HORRIBLY ADDICTIVE game. no prizes for guessing the said game.

ANYWAY....it just feels like I've been living here forever, when I've only been living here for slightly more than 3weeks. It just seems..right. There are even times when I get a sense of deja vu....which is quite peculiar. I find it weird too.

And as usual, mum's always right. One DOES eventually pick up some cooking skills when they are living alone and I'm proud to say that what I cook is EDIBLE. Heck! MY SALMON WAS PRAISED TODAY MAN! Fine fine fine, I KNOW that you're thinking that ANYONE can pan-fry salmon, but WHATEVER LOR! It just goes to show that my cooking skills aren't too embarrassingly poor even though I didn't take home econs lessons. (haiz...mep ah mep)

The fact that I haven't touched my (not so) secret stash of instant noodle says alot. I either eat rice, potatoes (baked or in soup) or japanese soba for dinner. Or the odd naan when I was in a rush to go for cell. GOOD RIGHT! (please endure my self-praise....) The best time of the week is when I go to RUMOURS KOPITIAM for my dose of singaporean/malaysian food or when I pop by Hannah's house (FELLOW BP-ian living in the next hostel!!!!) to eat and cook with her, Chloe (her taiwanese flatmate), Sisi (her PRC flatmate) and/or Warni (her malaysian flatmate). If you're asking why I don't cook with my flatmates(the 3 brits, 1 portuguese), it's coz they either have frozen SOMETHING, sausage and bacon or ready-to-eat microwavables. Not exactly my idea of a good dinner. Very unhealthy too.

Today's dinner was good too! Went to David's house (1 of the 2 guy singaporean medics) with Hannah, Samantha (the malaysian in my med group) and the other singaporeans--wenlin(nus exchange student), matthew (yr 1 psychology guy) and julius (the currently very ill other medic). good food man! even though it was kinda simple with loads of frozen junk food. hehehe...at least I don't have to do much washing up!

AND...here's my list of things I should cook more often!
1. SALMON (with rice)
2. scrambled eggs and tomato (with rice or bread)
3. carrot, corn and meat soup with egg stirred in (with soba)
4. Chicken/pork rice with steamed vegetables. (put vegetables into plate and steam with rice, then add meat slices onto almost cooked rice)

and my list of things to avoid...
1. roast vegetables and potatoes (dunno when they are done)
2. stirfry meat and veg together (dunno when to put what in)
3. cook too much soup at 1 go (otherwise it'll be soup for the next few days...)

Ah yes, after spending 3 paragraphs on food, i'll move on to SCHOOL. Very sian to NOT be spoonfed. hahahahaha...PBL!!!! Unfortuantely for me, i can BARELY understand what some of the scots are talking about when they speak. SIAN LEH, i was the scribe last week, so I've got to chair this week. HELP. And what's with lectures being called PLENARIES? Labs are called Free Resource Sessions(FRS). Like...SHEESH. But the people aren't too bad, they're really quite nice and stuff! It's just my timetable that would be the death of me. hehehehe. Oh, and the LONG DISTANCE TO SCHOOL. Every single day I have to go to school would involve a 12min run (or 20min walk) to the nearest underground, then a 7min ride on the train, topped off by a 5min walk to the med school (or 10 min if I have to go to the hospital LT) PLUS IT COSTS ABOUT 1.20QUID FOR 1 WAY!!!!! ewwwww

Have i mentioned that my bank sucks? I will run out of cash before they open my account man! And it's almost 3 weeks since I applied for it! GRRRRRRRR....

Oh yes, CHURCH. It's a really major part of my Sundays! Since I would slack in the morning anyway, I go to St Georges Tron church at 11 for the morning service coz of their REALLY GOOD sermons, then go for the english service at GCCC in the afternoon for a more practical sermon and the fellowship! Works fine for me, other than the fact that we (Hannah and I) have been forced to walk 2 underground stations coz they are ALWAYS evacuating the station at the time we wanna board the train. SO ANNOYING.

Geez...this looks pretty long. I'll end here and go wash my toilet. hehehehehe. It's SUPPOSEDLY a bank holiday tomorrow, BUT i still have school. PBL!!!!!! and the bank is still opened tomorrow, or more accurately speaking, LLOYDS is opened tomorrow. But, oh wells...
