Refresh

Time to board the plane and go back to finish studying or start studying. Yup, Sherp is starting studying again after almost a seven-month holiday. She is probably freaking out about not being able to remember some stuff. I would guess that she is looking forward to start a new university life. She mentioned that she is going join some stuff and make the best out of university life. Yea, I hope she would.

When I first went to university, I told myself to get out and make friends. I was glad that I did. I met most of my friends through my courses. I started knowing more people in the second year. How about third year? Let's just say I was being a bitch and I don't think I met a lot of people. I guess it wasn't a good year for me. Did I get from the wrong side of the bed in the beginning of the year?

Anyway, I don't mean to offend my readers by what I just said. I just had some ups and downs. But do believe that I met wonderful people.

I read a friend's blog that we should give ourselves a chance to rant out emo-ness. Which is why I am doing this.

I should be brave to voice out my feelings. I should not keep it bottled up and then burst and the worst comes out. But I still can't help keeping it bottled up. I don't think people would understand the way I am feeling because of the way they act. But maybe I should try? But I don't want make it worse. I don't want changes. I hate changes.

This year? I shall look forward and make sure that I have fun like I did in my first year or second year.

Check out sports gifts. You never know when you need to buy gifts for loved ones who loves sports. =)

Resolution

Shall I do a resolution for next year? I have always set goals or resolution for myself for the following year but somehow I will deliberately miss out the goals just because I can't be bothered to follow them. I did study harder, one of the goals but I just wasn't satisfied enough. Maybe it wasn't the way I study. It was just the way I wrote my short essay answers. Hmm.. I shall set a new resolution, that is to get lecturer to check out all of my short essay answers for every geology paper. Yea, can say that writing essay is my weakness. Usually it takes me long to think of something and to write them out. Grammars and the vocab. I always get something wrong if I don't read back on what I have written. I know this doesn't matter much in geology essays, it's just the geological terms that matters. But in order to form sentences, you do need the grammar and the right vocab. I do admit, at times, that my writing is not good and people sure will critisize my writing. Who doesn't?

I wanted to say that I shall not spend so much but I doubt so. Instead, I will say that I won't spend unnecessarily. Be it on food, clothes, etc. I do wish to have someone to encourage me not to spend so much. *hint hint: friends, bf.

Actually, I would do a summary or a wrap up of the year but this year, I guess I will skip it. I don't have enough resources. I can babble on words but it won't be interesting enough.

New Year photos

Here are New Year eve photos. I was wondering about the words beside the upload photos button, it says you have upload 21% of photo. So what happens if I got 100%. Can I still upload more photos? Getting worried about that. Hmm..

Some of the photos are in Sherp's blog. Go there for more photos. I do have to choose my photos carefully because my mum doesn't like her photos being put up at my blog so I am trying not to put her photos.

I was commented to like pointing at things. It's just one of many pose. I got it from Lynthia. Hehe..

Me food.

Sherp with her beloved prawns.

Ivy was trying to be funny so she became a walrus.

Both are showing off their prawns.

Even her? Sigh...

Reading about what others talking about resolutions make me kind of very determined to try to fulfill my resolutions this year.

Resolution

I think it is time I should say something about my new year and resolution. So far, I haven't really thought hard about my resolutions. I only decide that I should talk more instead of being shy shy. In other words, more sociable. I know I only talk so much in certain group of friends. Oh ya, I just thought of another resolution, make sure I click on spellings and grammar before I post my blog. I think there are more mistakes this year than the previous years.

Anyways, what's been happening these few days? Did I mention about Christmas? We went over to dad's friend house for Christmas lunch. I ate till I was so full. Food was really nice. It does feel like Chinese New Year because there were the pretty containers-like-CNY. The day before, we went to the church midnight mass. Now, I jumbled up the calendars.

Before New Year eve, Sherp, Ivy, Osbert and I went to Science Museum and Natural History Museum. Our main priority of going there was just to watch the 3D Cinema and go on the Sim-Ex simulator. If it wasn't for a complimentary ticket, we wouldn't have go on the Sim-Ex simulator. It just wasn't worth paying for those. I will put up photos on the next post or so.

New Year eve night, we had steamboat. Yum.. I love eating steamboat. We also had mee sua the day before. Was it the day before? Hmm.. I cannot remember.

This was supposed to be my first post for this year. Since it I did not change the time from NZ to London time, it means that I have 3 other posts before this. Nevermind.

Some photos

As I have promised to upload some photos, here are some that I have chosen. I don't think it's necessary to put everything. Anyway, I went to Durham on the second full day in Newcastle. The cathedral there was really nice. We did went in to look around. We meant me, Osbert, Ally and her brother and mother. Five of us took the train there.

I found this photo in the camera which meant I forgot to upload some photos from my camera to the laptop when the Wong's family were here. Oops...

This was inside the the compound of the castle. Supposedly. Weren't allowed to take photos inside the church so we only took photos outside the church.

This is a cocktail made by Ally. It's really nice, I think I might try to make this for Em. Hehe, I don't know if you will like it or not. Might think of making for Mer and the rest too. Hehe..

p/s Merry Christmas, everyone. Enjoy this good year and make new resolution for the coming new year.

2007 Resolutions?

Sigh..
I know this is supposed to be my holidays and I should be relaxing, enjoying the rest of my time.
But, I can't help thinking what the year holds out for me. I think that this year has a lot of challenges ahead for me. I have to be independent now that I am going to move to a flat, where I am cooking for myself. That, I do not think I have to worry. I'm sure I can look after myself.

Challenges? I would have to make sure I study A LOT. When I mean A LOT, it means I have to be in my room every night, actually studying.
EVERY NIGHT? I know I can cos I have always stay at home at night to study (not 2006). Ok, I know I can make myself do this but I need support from my friends. Friends do play a part in your life, eg studying, going out, etc.
So, please friends, do help out.

I'm just feeling really sad about this whole thing. Now, I wish I have followed my family to London last year. Now, I can't stay on in London. Sigh... should I say regret? I'm not sure.. but I ........
