I’ll take off my shoes, I’m coming in,
Untie this rope, I’m staying with Him,
Love of my life, I’ll live and die,
Just for the moments for my King and I.

Why did you call, why did you wait,
For someone so guilty, someone so fake?
There are no words for my beautiful song,
Now I’m in the arms of my beautiful One.

Hold me, blow all the pride from my bones,
With Your fire.
Hold me, breathe on this heart made of stone,
Keep it pure.
Hold me, Saviour of heaven and earth,
King forever.
Hold me, love of my life lead me on,
Through the fire, lead me on...

I’ll take off this crown and fall at Your feet,
The secret of joy are the moments we meet.
How could a man with all of Your fame,
Pull me from darkness and call me by name?

So hold me today, as I carry Your cross,
Into the desert to find who is lost.
Look at my hands, they’re still full of faith,
God keep them clean till we finish the race.

Sigh delirious? disbanded and their last performance was yesterday in London, but I didn't manage to get tickets cos I forgot till they were sold out ): Sads. They had beautiful hymns.

Zomg the days are rapidly getting shorter and it's so depressing! If you just google the lengths of days in London, you'll find that they're getting shorter by about 2minutes per day. Just yesterday, I was having lunch while the sun was setting outside my window :/ gloomy stuff.

And it is so.cold. Some law girls decided to go camden town today, which was SUCH a bad idea. It was freezing outside, and pouring! Now, I previously said that I loved rain, but london rain is totally unlovable. It cannot make up its mind! IT'S LIKE A PMS-Y WOMAN. To pour or not to pour? Should I drizzle? Show some sun to deceive them? I should stop raining... no I don't want to... okay I should... ARGH. And the gales are horrendous, they like to blow your umbrellas inside out.

Back to camden town, camden market is EXACTLY like bugis street! But guess how much you can buy a bugis street-like top at camden for? 20pounds. Dude if I had 20pounds to spare I would go shop at oxford circus instead.

Had korean for dinner (: Kimchi fried rice! Yums. Btw do you know how expensive kangkong is here?? This shop was selling this small bunch for like £3. And ONE of those egg toufu packet? Costs one whole pound. Zomg. Faints.

Checked my bank account balance and I think I'm not gonna survive till my next paycheck haha. Woops. Hmm okay maybe I can, just that I shouldn't be spending every single cent of it right? Ugh I'm going to like be damn broke and poor in future cos I'll probably end up spending all my pay shopping D:

Nette and I got itouchesssss YAY! :D Which my dearest korkor will personally ship home to me! So happy :D And my parents offer to pay :D whoohoo! I really can't wait to get home! 3 more weeks! And jeremy's coming to spend time with me in 2 weeks! So fun! :D

Life is good when you're not PMS-ing alright. As the girl-lingo here goes, life is damn haps and excites! Hopefully it stays this way ((:

New moon! It sucked, haha end of story. No one in it can act except dakota fanning who rocked. But jacob does have a hot bod.. and alice is so cute!

And realised that put a bunch of girls together and all you do is bitch all day long.. haha. Scary! Makes you wonder what bad things have been said about you before too.

9:51 PM

Yay abandoned my hall to have dinner with the holborn friends! :D So fun. I also dunno why I'm so needy these days but shimin thinks its some weird PMS stage. But yes I feel so much better! We had chicken cooked in 3 different ways haha.

Also got back 2 of my essays today and realised how disheartening the whole situation is, that a second uppers is 60-69 and it's so friggin hard to get above 70? That means that probably almost everyone is gonna end up having 2 1s which is sad and depressing to a competitive RJ student, because most competitive RJ students don't like being average. I know I'm definitely no where near genius standard but come on I should be smart enough to be called smart and not average right!! And CAN YOU IMAGINE A TIME WHERE GETTING A LOW 60s IS CONSIDERED GOOD? How utterly depressing. Looks like life is designed to completely crush our egos, by first inflating it in primary school (still remember the good old days??) then slowly letting us know we're actually stupid little bugs as we grow older. Because that was what I felt like when I got my crim essay. But yes I actually managed to get 2 1s for both these essays which apparently isn't too bad for first essays yay(: Hopefully the other 2 were okay then I won't feel so sad. I think my public law tutor was rather surprised cos I hardly talk in class and always seem so stupid haha! But he is so cuteee AND HE FINALLY REMEMBERS MY NAME thanks to my brilliant awesome amazing wonderful (lol yeah right) essay okay stop fangirling.

The law girls are gonna catch new moon at the theatres tmr!! :D Fangirl fangirl aha. Oh man I love the fact that law girls are all girls (mingwei not counted cos he doesnt hang out with us anymore), because when we are all together, ESTROGEN.

Okay. I promise to strive harder in my studies! Seeing the other girls working so hard makes me feel very guilty for being a lazy undeserving rj student. This totally reminds me of the H3 econs days where us councillors used to sit at the back and sleep through everything, because thats what the rj girls exclusively are doing now: stoning and sleeping in lectures + extreme ponning of useless lectures :S BAD UNSUSTAINABLE HABITS.

11:09 PM

Ahh public law is all british politics!! I'm damn confused by it ):

But the weekly parliamentary QnA is damn funny! The parliament is like some rowdy bar with half-drunk people shouting support for their party speaker, who speaks with loads of posturing and cocky ripostes. It's so amusing to watch that I'm very tempted not to skip wednesday lecture cos we're going to be watching it live!

Grr another lonely dinner day. I was so put off about eating alone that I had bread for breakfast, bread for lunch (okay this 2 actually quite common for here) and bread for dinner. Plus loads of chocolates, talk about unhealthy diet. I think I shall start to abandon my hall like yb has done and have dinner with other people in other halls so I won't feel so sad about my life.

Sunday, November 22, 2009

6:13 PM

Have been abandoned for greater love prospects in another hall. zzz.

Sigh ohwell more lonely nights then! I'll get used to it (:

10:57 AM

AHHH I can't believe I thought I set my alarm when I didn't and now I'm missing church AGAIN. Guilty guilty guilty I wanna go church! ):

Sigh that's what I hate about here, back in spore I could've gone to someone else's church at a later time. zz.

10:29 PM

Omg!

Someone let out fireworks right in front of my window :D I feel more loved now haha.

9:08 PM

zzz friday night blues haha. everyone's out and I've been abandoned ):

1:48 PM

AHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK

I CAME BACK FROM SCHOOL AND WAS LOOKING FOR MY SLIPPERS AND I COULDN'T FIND THEM

SO I WAS LOOKING FOR THEM OUTSIDE, THINKING I LEFT THEM SOMEWHERE

AND I MET YIJUN WHO ASKED ME IF MY ROOMIE'S BF WAS USING THEM

AND I WENT BACK TO LOOK

AND HE FUCKING WAS

WTF GROSS GROSS GROSS I AM SO FUCKING GROSSED OUT AND PISSED OFF

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T TELL HIM TO TAKE THEM OFF

I AM WAY TOO NICE TO THESE ASSHOLES ZOMG

12:52 AM

GRRRR SOME ASSHOLE STOLE MY CARTON OF INNOCENTS SMOOTHIE. I bet it's the stupid druggie neighbour of yijun's, whole day hang out so suspiciously in the kitchen and jumped when I popped in again...... Or maybe it's the noisy dubious bunch of indians who're always talking so loudly down the corridors........ Rarr whoever it is OUGHT TO GET DIARRHOEA FROM DRINKING IT. I hope my saliva burns a hole in his thieving tummy. But the person damn stupid, go and take my half-drunk carton and left my unopened one untouched. How gross isit to steal someone's half-drunk drink???

Wah lao waste my money and make me utterly lose faith in the integrity of my floormates. Hmpf. Now I'm constantly worried about the plight of my last carton. Maybe I should write some message on it, like 'SCREW OFF DUDE' or something.

9:03 PM

Cooked black pepper beef today! (: And of course it was nice, cos I cooked it. And spent alot of money grocery shopping. I should stop grocery shopping so much!! But there are such nice things to buy all the time!! Like yummy innocent's smoothies, and cookiedough and chocolate fudge milkshakes!! aaah.

My legs are super tired cos I've been walking so much. Walked to the supermart and back, then went back out to the tube station, realised I forgot to bring my oyster card and had to brisk walk back (cos I was sooo late). Took the tube, and just 2 or 3 stops before my stop, there was some announcement that some guy decided to throw himself under the train somewhere in front, so our train had to turn back o.O wtf. You don't know how absolutely awesome spore's mrt is until you take london transport. I think like HALF the lines weren't working properly today. Some cos of the body, and some cos of some power failure, and others were under renovation works :S The thing is they have so many lines that you usually can find alternative routes, but they're damn freakin long. I had to change train 4 times just to get to 10 stops away, bloody hell.

Met jiajia to go shopping at westfield's, which is some ultra mega big shopping mall. It's very rare here, cos shopping places are usually long streets like oxford street! Uh okay it was huge. We didn't spend very long there though, cos jia wanted to go home to cook and study -.- she is damn auntie she cooks every day. See that's the difference! Cooking everyday= auntie, cooking once or twice a week = cultured = me (: HAHA.

Took the long long train ride back (the piccadilly line STILL wasn't in service cos of the whole body incident, about 3hours later -.-), then walked to school to meet becca for dinner at covent garden! Here my cultured (cos I only do it some times) skills came into play, cos I had some students' 50% off at an italian restaurant! Omg the food was so good I practically died of happiness. And the ambience was niiice, there were candles all about. I felt so happy I even walked back home though that took like 40 mins.

Still feeling happy despite the horrid afternoon! (: Now I need to get crackin again sigh LESSONS. Brings you back down to reality.

9:57 PM

When I get back to spore, I'm gonna get a asian food cookbook. Haha. I have no idea what to cook!

Today christabel and mildred came over to rosebery to cook with us! :D Okay yijun did the work as usual. We had prawn fried rice! (: Smelled good, but was overly mushy haha and tasted like claypot rice! Which is a good thing. Belbel and I laughed throughout the whole time, at the kok stuff mildred and jenhan came up with but mostly about nothing, she is especially high today.

yesyesyes I am damn happy! I'm like, the only person who's handed up all her essays or something (cos mine were all due last week -.-) so I'm absolutely FREE tmr!!! :D:D So happy so happy.

PS I CAN WEAR SHIMIN'S SIZE6 COAT MOOHAHAHA! And my waist size dropped slightly to an amazing 23!! Whee! I just celebrated by having haagen dazs icecream and laughing at jiajia :D

pps I very belatedly discovered the student deals website! And am scouring it for good deals :D Hoho so fun! Gonna have dinner at some posh italian restaurant with becca tmr, cos of their HALF PRICE student deals!!! :D

12:40 AM

RAR

The Boyfriend has been sleeping over in my room for not one, not two, but THREE consecutive weeks, and I am getting less and less tolerant. I do not like feeling like a ddp in my OWN room. I do not appreciate not understanding what the whole chatter going on behind me means! I do not like waking up to find only me and the Boyfriend in the room, much least to see them entangled on one bed.

And I can't complain, cos it seems very not nice to. They ARE rather nice to me (like they offer me food and stuff), I just can't stand it much longer! Ugh.

8:09 PM

Today during lecture we suddenly noticed this girl sitting right in front who didn't seem to be wearing anything. Her back was completely bare, but her hair was over her neck so we all thought she was wearing a halter top or something. Somehow I think everyone noticed her nakedness at the same time so we were all staring at her, trying to make out what was happening.

Then she started plaiting her hair... and when she flipped her hair up into a bun, this mini uproar started at the back of the lecture theatre, because THERE WAS NO CLOTH ANYWHERE VISIBLE ON HER BODY. No halter top string, no bra, no shoulder straps. Everyone turned to their friends and started whispering, 'OHMYGOD is she naked?? Is she wearing clothes?? Her whole back is showing, where is her bra? Why isn't the lecturer reacting?!" Some guy took out his phone to take a photo, and another wrote "NAKED GIRL!" and flashed it around.

We all couldn't wait for lecture to end just to see her turn around!

But then halfway through she turned back to smile at her friend, and suddenly her very low-hanging black tube top peeked out from behind her seat. Heh.

Anticlimatic.

7:00 PM

Oh gee I think I should vacuum my room soon.. Stupid carpeted floors. WHY carpet them??

Yb actually offered to vacuum our rooms for us for £1 each... haha I feel like taking him up on this! Hahaha okay okay cannot be lazy I know. Sigh.

DAMNIT. First I take very long to write my essays (writers' block + distractions), THEN I go on to exceed the word limits terribly. GRRRRR.

Saturday, November 14, 2009

10:53 PM

Omg my first free weekend in AGES. Okay technically not free, cos uh actually I still have one more essay due on monday (eeks!) but reckless abandon beckoned so I went out with christabelsawseesaw and mildred and their msian friends!

Today was SUCH a bad day to go out. 80mph gale what.the.hell. Haha it was raining and blowing like crazy, the ferocity of the wind was so intense it was frightening. But anyways we went to Borough market! Which is a very colourful and smellerful (new word!) place. Oooooh the food. Haha AND the amazingly expensive price tags attached to them we must forget. Decided to try some awesome thing, so I had wild boar burger! Yums. They also had incredible cakes and brownies and chocolates and cookies and cheese and sausages and mulled wine.

After that we decided to walk to tate modern in the gale... seriously, what a horrible idea. A few minutes into the walk, 3 of the 6 umbrellas we had FLIPPED INSIDE OUT and dissolved us into laughter on the sidewalk. Every 2 steps we took the umbrellas would flip -.- Cheryl's (the msian. btw all the msians here are so freakin rich its mindblowing. We've concluded that the sporeans in lse are probably one of the poorest asians around) was the worst, her umbrella was totally ruined!! But she stoically decided to use it as shelter anyway haha.

Tate modernnn! A horribly ugly building (hasn't changed) with cool art! No dali this time )): But loads of warhol and picasso. The funniest thing was when we came to this huge column of soap bars, and christabel said "Oh! This column is soap and it smells nice" (cos she came here earlier on), then mildred went straight up to it and started sniffing REALLY LOUDLY. So much so that the guy next to her gave her a weird look and then started sniffing surreptitiously at the column. bella and I laughed so hard we had to walk away and pretend not to know her.

We spent a really long time inside, because every time we wanted to go we'd look out of the windows and see the trees being tossed around, and we'd decide that inside was the safest place to be. Then zhiwei joined us! (:

Finally decided it was time to walk to waterloo to catch the fireworks for the Lord Mayor's swearing in. We reached there (cold, freezing cold) and waited (COLD) and waited and took many many photographs (bellbell and I decided we make a goodlooking newly wed couple)... and finally we were told that the fireworks were cancelled thanks to the stupid gale -.-

So we took the tube to chinatown and had jap food. Which was super filling and I feel extremely fat now.

Afterwards vanessa and peter came! We all went to the supermarket to buy instant mee (yums) so I bought more for joel's supper. Haha everyone agrees I mother him alot! I realise that I have MOTHERLY TENDENCIES that I need to work off, albeit on a 21yrold kid. My attempts at domesticity is turning me into a mother!! Like how I spent the afternoon spoonfeeding mildred and sawsaw breadpudding haha! It was DAMN FUNNY they were like. Like baby birds o.O My little ickle kiddos. Okay gross maybe I should adopt a pet instead hmm. This is a damn random and WTF?? paragraph.

And I left with them to go have dessert with vanessa and peter YAY NICE and FREE DESSERT :D And then we all made our way home yay.

Hoho and as usual, the same crap about how I should be doing my essay! :D

1:01 AM

There is a sudden random, cheerful christmas song echoing through the whole street! And it's 1am! The acoustics outside are very good btw, as my roomie and I found out one fine morning when we woke to a full band playing a march outside during the WWI memorial.

12:48 AM

Slowly it doesn't matter anymore.

Thursday, November 12, 2009

10:28 PM

Listening to emo songs while it's raining outside isn't helping my mood ):

And honey
All the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They said start as you mean to go on
As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on

So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane
When am I going to see that pretty face again
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
Blame it all upon
A rush of blood to the head

8:42 PM

Our cookout today was so cool! We had a common pot of pasta and then yijun cooked pesto jenhan bacon aglio olio and I did the best tasting tomato and minced beef sauce EVER. Nick, don't doubt my culinary skills. I was BORN to domesticity.

And we had an almost full attendance day, for the first time! Except one retard who was busy chasing girls. That's all we all seem to be doing isn't it, cooking and chasing each other (not each other like, each other, but like, within the community)?? HAHA.

Right. Back to my essay. Can't wait for saturdayyyy half of singapore are going to be at the nottingham games, so a small group of lazy fat law girls are gonna spend quality time around london! :D

4:55 PM

Remind me again, whose idea was this?

1:26 AM

UK's Anti-Social Behaviour Order can be issued against someone... for disturbingly loud sex. And also from using the word 'grass' to threaten people.

O.O haha what a weird place this is

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

1:15 PM

Goddamn this dusty room
This hazy afternoon
I'm breathing in this silence like never before
This feeling that I get
This one last cigarette
As I lay awake and wait for you to come through that door

Oh maybe, maybe, maybe I can share it with you
I behave, I behave, I behave so I can share it with you

You are not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but I remember this
So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
I'm not alone dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know, oh oh.

And I dream about somewhere, a smoke will fill the air
As I lay awake and wait for you to walk out that door

I can change, I can change, I can change
But who you want me to be?
I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm the same, what do you want me to be?

You are not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but I remember this
So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know, oh oh.

I'm not alone dear loneliness
I forgot that I remember this
You're not alone dear loneliness
You forgot but I remember this
Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know, oh oh, oh oh.

--
I love this song by the foofighters who're like my favourite band right now, but no that's not the reason (which has been pointed out to me twice already thanks).

11:57 AM

Just had my lunch-cooking adventure!! :D

Woke up early to grocery shop

Came back to cook my own meal! :D Which was rice, sweet and sour and spicy prawns, huge cumberland sausages and fried egg.

IT ROCKED.

Yay I rock!

Cooked for the retard downstairs as well (cos then he can do the cleaning up after hehe) and he agrees it rocked. OMG I am so on my way to becoming a domestic goddess.

11:02 PM

It's getting freezing cold and the short days are getting to all of us. Now yijun wants to take bus to school (she has the bloody 18 under oyster card, free bus + 1/2price tube!!!! NOFAIR) and then I'll have no walking buddy ):

I wanted something
That's purer than the water
Like we were

It's not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have

Like Saturn's rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold

Lash out first
At all the things we don't like
Or understand

And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about

12:30 AM

What is stamford raffles' favourite colour?

Haha I bet no one knows... cos no one really cares about who he really is, enough to!

That was some random thought that very randomly popped into my head, because I was highlighting my notes with my purple highlighter and the purple highlighting made me feel slightly happier with my notes. Lol. Then I realised that I've been getting alot of purple things recently (my wardrobe is turning purple) and then I wondered if my favourite colour was changing from red to purple, and if that at all meant that I was changing as a person, or if it was only because there are no red highlighters (pink totally does not count) and I don't look as good in red. Am I only consciously liking red but subconsciously preferring purple? Hmm deep lawyerly thoughts indeed.

Okay enough procastination!

9:57 PM

Ah fuck I'm dying under my readings

Just printed what, 100pages worth of cases (and that's after picking and choosing 'a few' out of the whole freakin list), have the usual 30-60pages of txtbook to read, and that's just for ONE freakin module. Preparing for seminars usually take one whole day thanks to those lovely fun-filled readings, I have seminars on every single day (except weds). And I still have 2 and a half essays to write by thurs/fri.

HOW DOES ANYONE SURVIVE? HOWHOWHOW

Okay this DOES NOT deserve my tears.

6:45 PM

Guy fawkes night! Loads of fireworks outside... and I'm at home struggling to finish my homework ): Life sucks huh.

While walking home today a man smiled at me and said 'Konichiwa!', and I didn't know whether to smile or grimace.

12:04 AM

I think I'm the only one here who finds contract law the most interesting out of all the 4 modules haha. If it were any other (even crim!) I'd have given up reading this stupid 50 pages of textbook reading long time ago. And contract law class is the sole class in which I actually feel smart.

Had frozen yoghurt with zhiwei and mildred after class on a whim (: Yums. Icecream and froyo are awesome even in supremely cold weather like today's was.

Yayayay I walked home with a pretty law angmoh today! She had such nice eyes, and she has many classes with me! We talked. HA. See, I'm making angmoh friends! And joel introduced his very cute family-in-diamond-industry soccer angmoh to yijun and I yesterday... Haha we were having evil designs on him the whole time.

And we cooked prawn mee for dinner :D 1. Primataste rocks. 2.Meat is super ex here 3. Prawns are super ex here 4. Cleaning up sucks (thank goodness for bullyable guys)

There are so many scandals flying about here, it's amazing. And mostly intra-hall... Makes you wonder if it's attraction by circumstance. And if that makes any difference to how true that attraction is... HMM. Haha OKAY none of my business.

5:31 PM

Sigh it's only 5.30pm and it's pitch black out ):

12:27 PM

I feel so domestic today!

I went grocery shopping by myself, and bought everything that went at £1. I need to brush up on my math and start converting, cos everytime I see '£1 only' my eyes light up and my brain goes, 'OMG ONLY 1QUID' and my hands automatically reaches for the food. Damnit. I'm going to go broke soon. But haha so auntie right I was comparing prices at different marts!! (: But definitely cannot beat the law girls... 2 of them are fighting to be the most auntie haha they boast about their cheap buys every day in school -.-

I am soooo dead I haven't finished ANY of my 4 essays.. I think I'm the only one ): Oh no. Haha. Okay. START.

Sunday, November 01, 2009

11:32 PM

Fever ):

Yb joel and I all came down with fever this morning ): Talk about team spirit.

4:37 PM

God just spoke through to me with a facebook message thing and when I read it I just laughed out loud thank you God haha.

The past few days have been horrible, I think thanks to PMS which kinda reduced me into a crabby, weepy mess especially at night haha.

Yesterday was singsem! SO MANY SINGAPOREANS. Haha! Yes it wasn't too good for me, cos I kinda chose the wrong topic. Econs o.o Which I totally know nothing about, so I stoned the whole day. Pubbers all went to golden dragon at chinatown to eat chinese! ((: YUMS. But damn expensive.. I NEED TO CUT DOWN ON MY SPENDING. ugh. Okay no shopping for next week!! Promise.

Alright I need to start on my 4 essays which are due in a week, or I'm dead.
