woahhhhhhhh

cant believe its been almost 2 months since i visited this place, tho everyone who has been loyally reading, SORRY!
but these 2 months has been such a crazy whirlwind of events, its just seems so impossible to ind the time to sit down and blog. I suppose it doesnt help that NIC CASSIN screwed up my net connection on my laptop, so i could get on the lse internet coneection from high holborn, and it seemed too much of a bother to go down to the computer lab to use the net, so hence the almost unforgivable 2 month hiatus.

But im back!! with a long up date on my life, what a roller coaster ride the past 2 months yhas been.

First, in MAY, there were the EXAMS, a horrifically stressful period of time for majority of the lse population, save for the the scatterings of geniuses. taking exams in lse is really an experience. its then you realise that the kiasu syndrome is not confibed solely to singaporeans, but is OMNIPRESENT. (eg the feeling of dread AND frustration when the library is PACKED at midday, and you have to QUEUE for a seat. the library opens 24 hours, and people actually take ADHD drugs to stay focused for maniac studying periods of ten hours each. creepy? guess i just have to et used to it.

next choong and song came down!!! woah!!! had an amazing time, brought them walking around oxford street, hamleys, regent street, leicester square, chinatown, the works, all the late nights cathcing up, squishing in my room, onthe same mattress, wathcing choong get terroroised by nic and john.. ahhh the life, surrounded by people you love.

while you say hi to some, you say goodbye to others. the night before i left for greece with the girls, saod goodbye to amanda and shailey.. two of my bestest friends this year. was a horribly sad time, and to be honest, it only struck me that i actually woulnd't be seeing them until at least when ever? and who knows, we might even se such different people by then that a treasured friendship might be lost and never be the same again. miss ya girls.

next we were off to greece, with my favourisest people in the world- the girls. (koky and jo... missed you loads) the idyllic setting- the mornings having cereal on the balcony staring off the cliff into the sea, the mountains and the horizon, the sunsets at oia, the trudging up the blackened slopes of the santorini volcano, the red beach, the amazing clubs in athens...the crepes and smoothies in the mid morning amongst seagulls at the pier. unforgettable and unreplaceable.

the next 7 days i was off to venice on ryanair, to the world of gondolas, tiny back alleys, mountains of gelato, pizza, pasta, kebabs, san marcos square, gucci, prada, valentino, FURLA, italian leather paradise. . better still, the nect few days and a train ride away, Ljubljana... capital of slovenia, part of former yugoslavia, home of rollerblading pedestrians, deer steaks soaked in cherry juice, ginormous burritos... and 3 days off to the slovevnian alps with late afternoon, strolling amongst the haystacks in the mountains, horseback riding into the sunset, quad driving through the picturesque mountain roads, overlooking the crystal clear blue wateres of bled and bohinj, evenings spent sipping coffees and feasting on fresh trout from the lake, or simply just driving around. the slovenians call it Heaven on Earth.

2 days back in london, frantically shoving my life into cardboard boxes, and then i was off again, back to the land of indian curry, nonya laksa, nasi lemak, chicken rice... home sweet home.. the mango sago never tasted sweeter.. sitting at my desk now, giving out presents, gorging myself silly on krispy kremes, marvelling at the greenery aorund me. i finally feel like i need a rest.

honestly, this is gonig to sound so cliche, but nothing beats being back. forgot how much i missed being able to sit on the deck in the sunset just watching the ripples dissappear on the surface of the pool, walk downstairs to dinner on the table, being able to make 'sheet angels' on my bed sheets.
