havent been here in a long while...

yup, title says it all. a whole summer has gone by, and i'm back in London. I guess it's only in London when ur life isnt as packed and you're free enuf to blog, or maybe that's just an excuse for me being too lazy in Singapore to blog. whatever it is, it's been a great holiday in spore..3 mths flew past really quickly because i worked for 2 mths..and well i guess it was good in a way that i cherished the last 1 mth even more instead of feeling too bored the whole of summer.

work was good, liked the working surroundings, learnt qt alot of stuff, and got to work at diff depts too. only complaint is having to wake up at 6.30, like going to sch lidat! haha.

hmm ok i guess since this is a backdating post i shall just mention highlights i remember of the hols. haha. one was the bomb thrown on me :p - to decide to do 3 yrs instead of 4 in Imperial. Learning to trust in God and not to depend on my own abilities..which is sometimes just easy to forget.

There was bandcamp too..that was fun :) there were bday parties too to attend..all of us turning 21 this year! oh and not to mention all the birthday surprises yyxz carried out..haha..hmm..wat else. 3 mths seem so long ago, i cant seem to remember anything except in the last 1 mth. oh yea and i attended 3 weddings this summer! hee. one was fareena's sister's, one was qx and qy, and last but not least zy and lena :) heehee it was so fun. at zy and lena's wedding dinner, we were saying that it was like prom, smth like a church-prom, and all of us were taking lotsa fotos :) i love attending weddings :p it's always so sweet :)

ok since i'm on the wedding bit already, i'll jus skip to the last mth. haha. i had a surprise party organised by je n helped by agnes n my parents :) big thank you to everyone who came, am very very blessed to have all of you. and to the mastermind of it all, thank you =) u noe how much i appreciate all the effort :)

and and, dz, mq, je and i went to bangkok in the last week, that was fun! lotsa lotsa shopping, with great company.everyday we walked until we were so tired, yet we still continued and pressed on..all for the sake of shopping..haha..looking forward to another trip next year! :)

hmm since coming back to London, we settled down pretty quickly, our wall was up by the end of the first week, so thank God. took my GRE yesterday, didnt go as well as I'd hoped, will be attempting another one next mth. was kinda disappointed at first, but thank you for reminding me that if this is not the way, God always has the better plan. :) was also slightly stressed out by the choosing of fyp..at times, i still ask myself y i've put myself in this situation..y couldnt i just stayed with my original plans, the one which i've depended on all along..but i'm slowly learning that He has His reasons..reasons i may not know. and since I'm doing it already, put my best and my all into it. and if He is for me, then what else should I be afraid of?

today, the actual birthday, went out for dinner with my coursemates and housemates :) had lotsa fun. thank you guys for celebrating with me every year :) truly appreciate it.

on a random note, the postmen are still on strike. please please please start work again soon..i hate worrying about mail. ESPECIALLY royal mail. bah.

oh and i received pretty flowers n a huggable bear today =) hehe yay. thankew =)

so there, i've finally updated.
