liz is one lucky bugger.

ah, alas! something blog-worthy. the weekend at oxford!

jima kindly invited me to stay at her place for a weekend. it meant free food so i said yes!
sequence of events:

1)she came to bham to pick up stuff and brought me back with her. her dad drove us all back.

2)reached her massive englishy house. the jealousy begins.

3)meet her 12-year old sister and their 11-year old neighbour. i rediscover my childish side. haha at first i was a bit shy so i just smiled a lot but they're so hyper and the neighbour screamed so much i loosened up after awhile and screamed right back. we're now fast friends.

4)we eat and then we go watch the intepreter on the telly. haven't seen one in ages!

5)next day: FUNNEST DAY EVER. borrrowed jima's 2nd sister's(she has 4 sisters) bike and we both cycled to town. awesome fun!! liz i love how oxford is so cycling-oriented, they have specific markings on the road for cyclists, i've never seen that anywhere else! and although i tumbled a bit here and there when we reached uphill roads and TRAFFIC LIGHTS I HATED TRAFFIC LIGHTS, it was so fun and englishy to be whizzing past ppl on a bike. and i got a bit sian seeing roads only so i screamed TREES! i want to see TREES! and jima led me to another path and we whizzed past trees, it was gorgeous. i want a bike now. but bham is bloody dangerous to cycle in. arghhhh!

we just shopped and ate in town, and sat a bit in the university park, munching chocolate caramel flapjack thingies which are amazing. pics:

in a restaurant called the nose-bag. i know, what a strange name right!! according to my dear friend, its sth like a horse muzzle. but still..!!

university park. was a self shot so i couldnt get much of the view but the tiny bit shown here is so pretty already.

the other side of the park.

then after cycling home we just fooled around. jumped on the trampoline in her garden, swang, and threw balls around.

it's amazing how she caught this shot. i'm a chicken!!!

best i could get.

that swing is a bit siao. cannot go straight one!

what did i tell u? and u can see that huge white house behind me. that's her house. and check out the huge garden. u as jealous as me now? we watched vertigo at night. some alfred hitchcock film and it really was quite good! i want to watch his other films. esp psycho. heard a lot abt it. esp the shower scene. hoo!

so back to bhammm............. time to study. off now. bye dearies. hopefully this trip to manchester to see liesel will work out. its great making little mini trips here and there to see people and all. i love it. :)
