beef cannelloni

is my best friend. i have cravings almost every few hours and i seriously am scared i'm going to get a disease from eating too much microwaved food. sigh.

HELLO! it's been long i know, sorry! ok here goes. been a rather relaxing week. tons of work this term and i'm worried. k, here's an update:

1)my test went badly. i will fail.

2) been worrying lately that i can't get to year2. its scary it really is.

3)my future housemates(i shall call us the 5 of us in future yes.) had a surprise birthday celebration(small one) for me.

4)i felt very sad and homesick at first but i've fully recovered.

5) i bought my first pair of boots!!!!

let's start...


1)&2) - this one really bohpian. i've been slightly more hardworking so far, done most of my anatomy(just copy from book i dont understand one) but sigh.. will try to pick up the pace.

3) this one was VERY unexpected. they took a huge risk hahaha. mostly done by jima but i was touched the others sacrificed their evening to hang out with me. i came back at 6 after shopping for boots(and mind you, i was THIS close to sticking around and shopping some more) and edward calls me and screams, shan! where are you jima is searching for u!! and i go, ok and i text jima and she sends this frantic COME TO DINNER message, to which i say, I DONT WANT IM NOT HUNGRY. then before i know it she's back and i pop out to say hi and she says hey, wanna go watch a film in sangeeth's room? and i was like ok lah. so down we go and along the way shimei sangeeth and erica appear and we walk walk walk and jima suddenly runs forward and opens a taxi door. i go.. ???? in short, we went to a pantomine(robin hood) and it was SO GOOD!!!! pantomines are really sth different. its like theatre, just that the actors speak to the audience. few rules i learnt:

a)when the baddie comes out, everyone boos. even during the bowing sessions. i really did feel quite bad for the poor bearded dude.

b)of course when the good guy comes out everyone cheers. birmingham ppl are damn on.when robin hood first came out everyone screamed like siao. even jima was like, but he hasn't done anything yet!

c)when the actors go, no it isn't, the audience goes, yes it is! like when the bad guy is behind and the actor asks is the bad guy anywhere nearby? we go yes he is! and the actors go no he isnt! felt like throwing a water bottle at them.

d)follow instructions-at one point an actor taught us some responses-when he said hiya team! we have to scream, hiya will! haha had fun yelling my lungs out.

the funniest part was this ventriloquist act they incorporated into the pantomine. the puppet was like, hello everybody up there!(i was at the top circle) and we were like hello!! and the puppet went, you alright? we went yeah..... and the puppet was like, JUMP!! hahahaa i laughed until i almost cried i swear.

4)when i first arrived i kinda felt like i had to adjust again, and for a few days i felt like i couldn't talk to even my closest friends. but now it's all good again. :)

5)my boots! haha was hunting high and low and was about to give up when i walked into miss selfridge and picked up a pair that happened to be in my size and in the design i wanted!!!! i wanted grey but there were only two pairs of black left. for guess.. 7 POUNDS! cherlyn ho, i beat you. haaha was really tempted to buy the other pair left for u but i wasnt sure of your size :(

nice, no?

okay that's all for now. im quite tired and i have another lecture in 3 hours. hug!
