reflecting

nim 'as li of reflecting, meaning i'm fed up of reflecting! these western people, asyik reflect on experiences and force us poor asians to do the same! reflecting on placement la, reflecting on exams la, reflecting on learning la, reflecting on the toilet la.... the english love paperwork. everything on paper, paper, paper...no regard for God's green earth. i should be allowed to reflect only on the "throne". maybe then i'll have an epiphany, like that episode on Scrubs. heehee..

on another note, praise Adonai for helping me overcome the lashon hara! getting there...

and how do you like me new background and what not? =D twas done when i should be "reflecting"

am here.am cold.

i'm here! in salford. enjoying the english wet cold weather. how to describe it? bleak. just plain depressing bleak. argh. my feet are cold. interesting flight though, as seeing it was me first international flight. some drunken english fellow who gulped down so much alcohol but still insisted on having more gin and tonic. ooh, the food on emirates was quite good. never went hungry. and nice movies too! my fave, sound of music was playing. =D
no time for jetlag. sighs. went straight to register blah blah blah after arriving. walked everywhere. buildings are 5-15 minutes apart but walking is tiresome for a pampered penangite. somemore the weather so cold, windy and rainy. blah! in the end, my hair looked like some mop that had been involved in a typhoon.
good thing is, have nice housemates. nice english girls. very helpful. right now, am really thankful for my Bible. oh so thankful. and thankful for my loverly family who cushioned this traumatic experience. haha..otherwise i might have gone siao already. what with the having to sit on the plane for so long, finding out the weather is so bleak and most probably gonna get worse! have this feeling i'm gonna be thankful for alot more.
oh, i'm so tired. going to sleep. for now, bye.


here's some pictures for y'all.

nice view of manchester, eh?

the appalling state of my room. i know. *sheepish grin*
