Because Aun has been waiting for an update since forever. 
Because Khayinn says I should write more.
Because Ade thinks I should perhaps talk about my classmates here instead of another cookie-entry... 


I'll do it even though I still haven't done my practical and coursework- All for you ppl just to prove that I love you all ok!


I have wonderful friends and coursemates in school. Seriously.
I think most of the UCL grads are hidden genius. They are soooo smart I wish I had done my undergraduate there instead of Korea. Being brainy however doesn't make them selfish at all- that's what I like most about them. 
Thai people are very laid back and easy-going. Hanging around with them can be so much fun I wish I could understand Thai so that we can communicate even better than now.

Hiromi and Sam from Bangkok
Japanese are nice. Hiromi (my only girl friend in school -_- ) texted me this one evening - Do you play tennis? I see that you're a fan of Roddick and Nadal on facebook so maybe you want to join us for tennis on fri. 
Awww isn't that sweeeet? And that's the text which initiated our tennis session every Friday, together with Yuko, a friend of hers. It's so good to play tennis again after all these years although I'm still not good at it but they're being super patient with all my balls.
Got this Dunlop racquet last week for 17quids (after 50% dc) from Tesco Direct. So now I don't have to rent it from the Sportcity every week :D

And then there are also friends from Germany, Hong Kong and Georgia who are all equally friendly and nice. Maybe I should start snapping piccas of them so that I can upload them on this dying blog. 
Okay, I should get back to work! Speaking of being productive.. I've been liking and commenting on pics for the whole afternoon, can you imagine -_-


Thank you for coming back all the time. :D 
I know I'm loved. So are you :)

Me-time. 


It's almost 2:00am. Taking a breather after answering one bloody question on the catalytic reaction engineering (CRE) coursework. I hate it when it comes to explaining in words. Just find it hard to form a paragraph describing a process, which can be easily done with just a few lines of calculations, or some sketches with labellings. Believe it or not, it took me almost the whole night to read up two journals to find the answer that I want, and summarized them into my own paragraph which contains six beautiful sentences. 


Okay I lied. I did steal some crops in happy farm, build my own cafe world and collect some milk in my farmville in between. :P Hence the whole night! FML -_- 


School has been great despite all the coursework, practical and tutorials piling up. Love making friends with these people from all over the world who don't seem to care a bit about your fantastic background but somehow they will shout your name for both parties and seminars. It's so different from what I used to experience in Korea, where I was totally being treated as a Foreigner most of the time, if not all, even after living there for five freaking years. 


Omg. I should seriously stop complaining about Korea. It wasn't that bad after all. In fact, it was one of the best time of my life. :)  OH I MISS KOREAN FOOD! Ok I know I sound very confusing. But I really really miss the food. And some of the people there :-) 


PS to khayinn: I'm loving fluid dynamics:D It's so challenging that I get adrenaline rush whenever I try to derive/prove something.


Can't wait for the *event of the month* coming up this weekend! Look out for the photos in FB by end of the week :D
Good morning Malaysia, Korea and Aussie. 
Good night Edt. (I think you're my only reader in the UK now, since yin has gone back to mas..)

The new apartment. 

The small but cosy living room and our working/dining/facebooking place. 

This bookshelf has got to be my favourite piece of furniture in the apartment...

...because someone spent his precious Sunday morning/afternoon setting it up for me. It's definitely not something everyone knows how to do, and would do it for you especially on the weekend after one whole week of work. 

The little living room with all the essentials you can see. (It's beng's fav place in the house where he can watch his series on the telly with Altec Lansing speakers and what more it's also the gaming area -_-) I chose that rug and carried it all the way back from Argos ON MY OWN! (Cookie was surprised) Ok truth is it wasn't very heavy but it was HUGE. Imagine how people were staring at me in the mall. I wouldn't do that if it was Mid Valley or Pavillion..LOL. Btw, it blends in pretty well doesn't it? Pls say yes!

A close-up on this dining table, also where I TRY to work every night. Yes, TRY. Just in case you still have no idea, I can be a very good procrastinator when it comes to school work. Oh, see the purple box? It's a chocolate mint product from Nestle, called Matchmakers or something like that. Very nice!!

Good thing I like about this kitchen is that it's separated from the living room, which makes cooking and baking all so exclusive in this apartment :D

Bathroom.

My over-cramped jewellery box. 

And lastly the imperfect city night view from the balcony..
