i realised i haven't updated much these few weeks. maybe i'm not a blogger person. somehow it's not on my priority list of things to do for the day/week. but reading other people's blogs tells me that it might be a good avenue to just write down what i feel. hmm.

well, the start of term has been ok, test and all were sat for and freaked out over, now i've descended back into the normal routine of rowing in the morning, rushing for 9am lectures (cos i have no bike and am too lazy to trek to churchill to pick it up), wondering how the morning can fly by with all the lectures and then, think of what to do for lunch. most of the time, i eat with the singaporeans or morna. manu has recently realised the value of living so close to lectures so she sometimes comes over for lunch if she has afternoon lectures/practicals. then in the afternoon, it's supervisions and normally napping and wasting time before i realise it's about dinnertime, then i try to cramm some stuff into my head, but it almost always never works. dinner is like the time i look forward to everyday, especially if i have dinner plans: cookouts! ooh how i love cookouts! chance to have home-cooked proper chinese food and chat with friends and not have to bother about having an accent or how they think of me.

last night i just had laksa with ben alex mich. oh prima prima, the best thing that happened for instant singaporean food! ben says it's only slightly more expensive in london/cho mae; i should really go down to cho mae one day to see what they have. i'm sure i'll come back a happier jasmine.

it's also time for balloting who i stay with next year and i'll probably be balloting with morna and the economists. i don't know if it's a good idea, cos initially i was just planning on going with morna since she's been my best friend here ever since last term, but now she's with all her economist pple who are also quite close, so i might get isolated at times.. nicole also asked me to ballot with her but it's only up tp 4 people in one ballot.. aye i hope it sorts itself out soon.

recently, i've also been spending loads of time with the singaporeans/malaysians rather than my angmoh friends. they all seem to have congregated into their own little groups, even the medics. i'm alright with all the groups, but not like part of it (as what yingmei said as well). i dunno, i've been rather like a hermit these few days, only going out for dinners and staying in if i can cos i'm so tired after rowing. i've descended into chinatownland somehow. quite tricky to rectify the situation now though cos i'm always happy with the asians and love hanging out with them, but i also want to get back with the angmohs cos it's just a nice feeling to be included in their chitchat and all that.. aiyah see how it goes la. nothing i can actively do anything about but maybe go to more pembroke events!
