i can't afford to buy her pearls

i'm supposed to be studying ugh.

okay this will be quick!!

Monday: visited chi in london. went to watch chicago at night, pretty nice! and stayed over, her boyfriend is really nice and this random friend of hers there was nice too.

Tuesday: visited ELISE. and abt an hour before i met elise, elizabeth msged me randomly and we both discovered that we were in london so yes we ALL MET UP. first time all 3 of us met up in uk. it was really nice. a warm feeling. u know how sometimes when you're walking along the street and you look at other people and think about random stuff? haha well when i was with them i completely forgot other people existed for a bit. they were the only 2 faces i saw. oh ya and this is blog-worthy. and elise has given a very distorted version of this story on fb so its time to clear it up:

my train was meant to leave london at 9.30 and reach birmingham at 11.30 and i was already quite worried abt that cause i would have to get a cab back from the station alone and yeh, it's quite dangerous. but..... guess what happened? i missed the train. no its not cause elise talked too much, it's cause the tube stopped for quite some time to 'even out the train times' kena sai! so i had to flirt a bit with the train station guy and i got to board the next, and last train at 10.15. so i eventually reached bham at 12.30 am and uh.. took a cab back alone. i know.. asking for trouble right. haha i was really freaked out throughout the cab ride. but the cab driver kept talking to me and i tried to be friendly. and at one point i swear i thought i'd seen the last of sunlight cause he drove into a very dodgy area but no he was just taking a shortcut. when we finally reached the guy wanted to charge me 8 pounds. i knew the standard price was 5 so i kinda pouted and went 'six?' in the act-cute-test voice i could muster up. and yeh. i got it for 6 pounds. kudos to my flirting ability!

Wednesday and Thursday: went to manchester to visit liesel. went to the man u stadium which was cool and yea got to hang out with liesel! her hotel room was amazing and it was lovely shopping too. good fun those days. im not really a soccer fan though so i didnt go berserk over the tour. we saw the actual playing field(and spotted a kid plucking strands of grass) and we got to go to the players' actual changing room and touch their shirts. the only name i recognised was ronaldo and i didnt even know what he looked like till liesel pointed out a picture. -_- ohwell. haha!

oh ya and once again i reached back at abt 11.40pm. ran through a very dodgy road. ugh i'm really the most dangerous person. haha but on my way back i bumped into random malaysians and they walked me back. so yay i'm alive! i swear ill never do that again.

Friday and Saturday: tried very hard to study and kiiiiiiiinda succeeded. i studied for abt 3 hrs in the aft and slacked the rest of the day away but at least got a few hours of work in :)

Sunday(today): went to visit peiying in warwick! this was really good too. she cooked claypot rice for me. damn shiok. haha and bleating our life stories to each other like drunken sheep for hours it was real good talking to her. peiying's a good friend. oh ya and i skyped with dearest chengwei,annsiong,liesel and fred. spent a good few minutes staring at each other awkwardly but it was a nice warm feeling seeing them anyway. hug, guys.

so that's me. off to work.. or go home? ugh i don't know. alright. take care!

p/s i just realised its 11pm and i'm in med sch. have to walk back in the dark alone.. again. i live dangerously man.
