Boo! I have returned after a 3 month hiatus haha...been too lazy to blog during my exam period, so this page has remained largely unupdated except for various new tags on my wonderful tagboard.
So, what have I been up to? Not much really...one reason why I hate life in London is because it's so drearingly monotonous. There's really nothing to do here, especially when I'm someone who likes to go out at night and not in the day. London's only nightlife consists of pubs and clubs, which I have no interest in...so I just stay in (unless it's OCF or cell night), cook dinner, and spend the night slacking away. Can't wait for June 2006 when I can finally leave this place.
It's the night before I fly home for summer. This year's been...interesting...it's had its up and downs, and living with others (especially since I took the living room) was quite different from what I expected. I thought, before I came, that I could just come and treat the flat this year like my hall last year. Turns out that isn't very possible lol. But all in all it was a pretty good year lah...learnt alot, especially about living with others. I'm sure this "education" will serve me well later in life (if nothing else, tolerance is a good thing to learn!)
So off I go for the summer. Am probably going to try to get a job instead of slacking off all summer. Earn abit of cash, save for the future! Catch you all in Singapore!

Hmmm...what have I been up to lately? Not much really. Term's ended and the exams are drawing close. My exam timetables just came out and I've got a sucky set this year. My exams this year start slightly earlier and end way later than the set I had last year. So much for law having the best exam timetables hehe...oh well, the result of that is that I've had to shift my departure date for Singapore back by a week, though that means my transit time is 2 hours instead of 5 hours. Dunno whether to be happy or sad haha.
But yeah, so what I've been doing (surprisingly) is studying. Yepyep, I'm surprising even myself. Got together with Stephen on Monday, and we kind of fixed the topics that we will be studying for the exam, and this week is self study week. Next week onwards is all out past year paper mad rush. One thing about the Singapore education crazy system is that it really prepares you for university exam time heheh.
Other than that nothing much is up. Been fretting abit about my accomodation next year. Like Stephen pointed out to me, it's not likely to be a problem as I have quite a number of options open to me, and he named me another option on top of those that I had already been considering that's very feasible. But...dunno...everything's just so tentative and the timing for everything clashes, so it's like for example I'll have to make certain decisions before I know the results of my hall applications...and if I choose one way, hall applications won't matter...but if I choose the other way and I don't get hall then I am thrown into even more uncertainty...it's alot more complicated than that. I won't explain but take my word for it. So it's not that I don't have any options open to me...it's just that everything's so uncertain, and I guess I don't like not knowing.
Which gets me thinking about how much I've changed of late. Heh. I used to be so super bochup, like anything also can...plan for what, just wait for the time to come and everything will fall into place. But now I seem to like to play things safe...put the pieces in place early so nothing can go wrong. Hehe, dunno why also...am I growing old? Haha...or maybe just more mature eh? Dunno...just random thought that popped into my head. I think I've really changed alot of late (for the better I hope), not just what I mentioned above but various other things. Maybe I really have grown up....hahaha.
Okok, no more boring you with random ramblings. Ta!

And I blogged!!
23-02-2005
Wah! I blogged twice in the same month!! How awesome is that?!
It's been snowing in London lately...quite a number of times every day for the past 3 days. For those who live in colder places like Alaska or the North Pole, this hardly seems anything spectacular (actually, it would be spectacular for them...spectacularly warm!), but here in London, in February no less, it's freak weather! So yep, been freezing every day whenever I leave the house. Remember a few times when I blogged about how I love London weather? I take that back =P Not that I like Singapore weather any better, but now I dislike London weather as well!
In other news, I'm also here to rave about Emay. Not rave in the "I'm mad I'm ranting and raving" kind of way, but the "oh she's so beautiful!" kind of way. Haha =) Yupyup, Lately Emay's been embarking on a "keep healthy" regime, and I'm proud to announce that it's a huge success!
Those of you who visit her blog would know that she's taken to going for morning walks, doing light weights and eating healthy. The result of this is that she's lost weight and looks even more beautiful than she did before *beams* And even though she's lost weight, she still isn't like those anorexic stick thin bamboo poles like most Singaporean girls are, and that's a good thing ( I can't stand anorexic stick thin bamboo poles!) So yep, just a short report on why I'm such a lucky guy with an even more beautiful girlfriend haha =)
Yupyup!

Ello ello! How's everyone?
Nothing much has been going on lately, except that the weather's been really cold here...and I've been sick. Apparently there's this flu epidemic that's hitting Europe (even the Pope is sick), and I'm one of those hit. Feeling alot better already though, so thank God for a speedy recovery.
Other than that it's the same old boring life of a student. Chinese New Year's coming soon and my flatmates and I are kind of organising a small dinner kind of thing since the SingSoc insists on going back to the same lousy restaurant that they went to last year. Not gonna waste money going to that rubbish place again! Yepyep. Pity no angbaos here in London =)
Well it's February already...18 more weeks and I'm home free! Can't wait to get back home and see Emay for real again! =)
Alrightey, shall end off for now. Cya!

First entry of 2005! Yay! Yix finally blogged after *gasp* 1.5 months!!
Well I won't make an excuse for my long absence, I shall simply give you my reasons. After all, excuses are never valid are they? =) Well firstly, as you can see, I've got a new colour scheme and somewhat of a new design. The basic layout is still the same (Well, I like it what...why come up with a new one when I like the old one?), but as Emay pointed out, I need a better theme for this page since I'm no longer in a perpetually grey mood (and haven't been since that fateful day of 08/08/03), so this new design shall reflect that. More on the new design later.
Also, as most of you knew (and as evidenced by my last blog entry), I flew back for my Winter holidays. December is a particularly hectic time of the year for the church, and I was trying my best to be as much of a help as I could be to Emay. My poor baby was so bogged down with work, so I didn't have much time or energy to blog. I'd much rather help her out, and when we're more free spend time with her.
Also, I got my hands on a copy of World of Warcraft. It's really an awesome game. If any of you are playing it, let me know - I'm on Stormreaver server if you'd like to join me.
So yep, all those added together is why you haven't heard from me since the day before I flew back home from London. =)
Ok, more on this new theme. It's no big explanation really, just that ever since the OCF retreat that I think I blogged about at the end of last year, this particular piece of scripture has had special meaning to me, and I promised myself that this is something that I will always live my life by, so it seems appropriate to make it the new theme of this blog, since this scripture is so central to my life. Yep, that's it =)
Missing Emay like crazy here...she's so sweet she bought a calling card and called me from NZ where she's having her holiday...and makes an effort to run down to the cybercafe to email me whenever she can too. Thanks darling, really appreciate it =)
Ok, I have a lesson soon so I have to run. Ta!
