My beloved and lovelettes, you're all dearly missed.

The nerdy me has decided that blogging shall be my choice of break from looking at exam related materials. I am quite amazed at my inefficiency. Can you believe that I spent 7 hours doing a 10 page presentation for my French oral? Of course, having said that, I can say that I've finished one of them (both power point and script) which leaves me 3 more exciting presentations to prepare for. Note: it is only for French oral examination.

The way the French oral exam will go about is pretty interesting. We were given 4 topics to prepare beforehand. On the day of the oral exam, we'll present one of the four topics we had prepared. The thing is, we sort of get to pick which topic to present- out of the hat style i.e. pick a random piece of paper and present the one that is written on it. It sounds exciting issn't it! :)

It has been 3 days since I reached London. My flight back got delayed by 5 hours, which perhaps a blessing in disguise of some sort. It gave me around 3 more hours of my beloved without parents' presence! I ended up reaching London at midnight though. My poor sister had sacrifice her sleep which makes me feel bad as I think about it. She had to wake up early on the following day for work.

Anyway, both the underground and Heathrow Express had ended their service by the time I got out. My sister was not willing to pay a hefty sum (£75 to be exact) for the cab back home. She so reluctant that she suggested to actually sleepover at the airport before Heathrow Express operates in the morning. My jaw literally dropped when I heard that. But of course, she was joking. We managed to hitch a ride back home though. Naw, now I'm just kidding. SIA provided a complimentary cab ride due to the delay. How nice of them! :D

Truthfully speaking, and perhaps scarily, it doesn't feel like as if I spent 4-5 months here after summer. The 5 weeks in Singapore was so normal and pleasant that I forgot all about London. I'm not even joking. I presume it's the LSE effect. My dread of coming back to London because of the exams has temporarily altered my memory of this city. It's such a shame considering how pleasurable the weather here is like... among other things. One thing that I'm really glad about being back in London is the current season, my favourite one too, SPRING! Gentle Sun, nice and cool weather, greeeeeen grass, flowers blooming, people enjoying the warmer weather.. sigh I can just go on and on talking about it. I'm in such a dilemma about my feelings towards London! Never ask me whether I love/dislike this place. I will never be able to produce a definite answer unless... the picture is complete. ;)

Alrighty, time to get back to work. I shall not get to bed before I finish a chapter (or maybe 2) of statistics + French homework. I CAN DO THIS! :D

Emo evening


I thought I sorted it out just now, but I guess it's still lingering.

Today wasn't a good day for me although the weather was really great. Well, it was alright in the morning anyway. My mood-o-meter gradually declined(IELTS, haha!) as evening approaches. It is at its all time low compared to the past three weeks of school. I hope tomorrow will be a better day! :)
I need Mila :(
Guess what! I scored 80% for Econs, whoo~ Quite alright with the marks considering how much I revised and listened in class. Oh, when Mr Lea gave out the papers, Zahabia was like showing the typical Singaporean student attitude(the Ohno!). She scored really well anyway which makes it even more typical Singaporean student. Haha! & I found out that Syazwan(did I got it right?) likes Leah Dizon and he watched her that video. Boys... :/

On my way to the East Croydon station(on my way home), a dog came running towards me and started barking. What made it worse was that it starting going around me, like as if it's trying to pick a spot to land its teeth on. But surprisingly, I wasn't feeling any fear(my sister would have probably cried or something). I just stood still until its owner leashed it(they normally unleash their dog when they are in the park). It wasn't my first time when a dog did that to me anyway. I guess I am jaded with the experience. Haha! But thank goodness nothing happened to me. :D

3 of my things are either spoilt/lost. It makes me sad.

That's why I said it's complicated.
I hate fake hopes, I really do.

THE PICTURE POST(part 1)

Yes, this is part one. Basically, I will be covering some landscape and minimal schoolmates. The time is still not right to just flash my camera whenever and wherever I like(unlike in SMSS!! D:), so I'm reallyyyyy sorry!

On my way to school
Well, I would first take the tube(it's like MRT, but older, dirtier and super polluted) near my house to Oxford Circus and change to Victoria line to Victoria Station, where I would take the (better, much cleaner and less polluted)train to East Croydon Station. From there, I would then walk to school through a park which consists of a hill. It takes about an hour and lots of running around, so I spent about 25% of my energy travelling TO school. You get the point!


Houses neatly lined up, really kewl arrangement you know :D


Hello fellow train!


ZOOM ZOOM!

No pictures on the tube or on my way to the stations because I will be running about & I still haven't got a new camera, which means it doesn't have the anti-shake capability, thus the pictures will be damn sucky. Oh & the tube is normally super packed in the morning = no chance to take pictures(+ I don't want to be bashed up for taking pictures).

360 degrees in the carpark(turning to the left)

The carpark. The minimum age to apply for a driving license is 17. Yes, seventeen. I will be that old on the 1st of March.


Ground floor is computer lab and the 1st floor is the library and some hall(I forgot the name, oops!)


The main building of the school. It looks small, but there're a lot of turns and staircases in the building.


To the left, to the left(I hate that song anyway)


& to the canteen + labs.


Canteen and labs again...


Back to the carpark! That guy was looking at me as I clicked away.


The end of carpark preview.

The route back home(or rather, to the East Croydon Station)

I have to walk through the park again. Guess what, it's called Park Hill. Ha ha.


The landmark of Croydon(I think), Water Tower(is that what it's called?)


Crossroads. (& the basketball court in front, if you can see it)


Straight aheaaaaad...


& some more(darn this is boring)


The three musketeers finally caught up with me


Woo~ Hello Mr Sun!


Byebye three musketeers! See you tomorrow(no, I don't know them)


Branches spreading out like veins/venules.


Random inspiration.


Finally approaching the other end of the park(exit).


Damn huge field which couldn't fit inside the picture. It'll be nice if it's covered with snow. :(


After getting out of the park and crossing two roads.


The two blacks were talking to someone, I guess they just had a hearing or smth.


Notice the color of the light for that building(is it a hotel?)..


wooo~


WOAAA! I am always amazed by it, haha!

Oh, and at this point of time I heard a damn loud scream followed by a chain of curses. I guess it's from the two blacks who just got out of the court. Didn't dare to continue taking pictures, so I kept my camera and brisk walked to the station.


Waiting for the train to come! :D

So yep, that's pretty much all for part one(though I know it's nothing much). I'll try to see whether I can take pictures of my schoolmates and the other parts of the school which I haven't take yet. I will announce the part 2 if I compiled enough pictures! (cross your fingers!)

& of course, I can't just let this post end like this. So:

DID I JUST CUT MY HAIR?! :O

you saw what you needed to see and what will you do next? (irrelevant to post)

I love my trip back to Singapore, well kind of, but it was fantastic and I love the place where I sat. 63, not so bad even though it sounds so far behind. Anyway, it's a good seat for a toilet-lovers like me. :D Watched 2 great shows and 1 real boring one, it's like I don't even get what they were doing and stuff but I know it's about romance, a weird one that is. The 2 great shows were like The Host and Rugrats(the Paris one). Old shows but still fantastic, well maybe The Host is not so old. The Host actually kinda opens you up on things that are happening on SKorea and maybe you could refer it to everyday lives too, on how people are bias, how they behave and stuff.. it's kinda.. sad? Well, it's one of the hard truth that we all had to accept. :/

Spent the rest of my 12.? hours either sleeping, eating or listening to C-Kay's Call Me Miss album on repeat. It kinda makes me want to buy the album that she's gonna release this coming 17th. :D O.M.G HYD2 IS LIKE AIRING IN JAPAN NOW. SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! I'm so jealous for those who is in Japan right now! SIGH. D:

Anyway let's switch subjects, like err school. I know it's like -.- -.- but well you either have to bear with it(cause you want to know more about m0i LiFeZz) or just close this window. Surprisingly we got Mr Lee SB as form teacher + of course SS teacher and Mrs Chong as form tutor(老蝴蝶,我不要因为没交功课就被 drop to CLB!放过我吧! :() + of course chinese teacher. Mrs Low as Emaths, Mr Charles Low/h as Bio, Ms Ho as Amath, Mr AA as Phist, Ms Chia as Egeog, ??? as Chem, ??? as English and ??? as PE but most prolly it's Mr Lim HA. Hmm, is that good or is that bad? :l

AAAAAAAAANNNNDDDDDD I am in the midst of either to quit MalayD or face the music for being absent for like forever since after exams practice. I really don't know what to do leh, you see if I quit I'll be gaining fats and have too choose like another CCA, but if I don't quit, my time management will be quite bad also. Well well, how? Decisions decisions, why so mind-boggling! Sigh, thinking about going back to school after the weekend makes me feel very fortunate but sleepy for the lack of sleep. Ok, I am getting like off-topic and well that's because I am super sleepy now OMG AND DID I JUST SAW SOMEBODY LIKE MAKING OUT IN SURVIVOR? Fuck man, how can they stand the bad breath? EEEEEUUUUUUU..

Ok cannot stand it anymore, I am going to hit the sack now. Nitez peeps! :)
