midterm break

hey,

so today i finish my work early and get to choose between blogging and finishing up this really really really awesome novel.

n one look at my angsty red nails which i love so much now :D:D i know i'd had to scribble at least a few words about my midterm break :D it was the such a marvelous weekend, best one i've ever had, perhaps in decades?!! seriously !

the destination for this sojourn was Stradford. better known as Stradford-upon-Avon in which river Avon flows through the quaint little town. i wanted to go there eversince i saw a poster in a hostel which mentioned it being second or third most beautiful place in europe, and place number 9 goes to Lucern of switzerland, which, i have been to and love so much. it was at this one time when i felt so utterly bogged down by so much uncalled for anxiety which was eating me inside out that i just had to go away, somewhere close to nature, somewhere back to what i love. naturally, she was the only person i could think of that would throw all caution to the wind, skip classes, sling on a backpack and go away with me! :D love!

this is all about being young and free. i am totally leveraging on my perrogative :D :P

ok i ll let the pictures do some talking but i will talk even more! the pictures are not in sequence because who the hell has the energy to post pictures, write, then arrange?! not me



#1- quite pretty


#2 this is the best thing since sliced bread!! lol. a little button which you click and there will be an exothermic reaction in that little pack which will keep your hands warm! i ve got a solution to running and staying out for long and write in the cold! the problem has always been my hands, come to medschool they teach you something about raynauds disease.

3- we took a canal boat tour!! it was a nice ride through river Avon and that is basically the only sightseeing we did in 2 days :D:D loads of willow barks, and a mistletoe was sighted! the boat guy pointed it out to us. lazy to find the picture. mmm 45 minutes inside a cradle it felt so swiftttt


4 the sun is out on sunday in stradford baby!! make me happy like a silly cow felt like singing top of the world. lol. seriously, the darkness over here has make my serotonin level plummet to a dangerous level..
there you go, a touristy picture trying to cover up our asses just in case the need to arise. like if my dad start asking : i thought you say you go see shakespeare wan? nah! a bald romantic.

alang alang menyeluk pekasam, biar sampai ke pangkal lengan. so take a few more cover track pictures. just in case
the sun was so beautiful it makes the whole world happy, the ducks. the ducklings. the swan, and me.


NOW, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE. hahahah. don't judge ok
we go into annoyingly pink shops which look like barbie world and eat the most happy things. for me it's always chocolate muffins or chocolate brownies. and coffee. must have coffee

i like watching the English. they still seem so surreal to me.

we took too many 'tea-time' s! when in England, do like the English, right. starbucks, brownies with blackcoffee, home made scones with clotted cream and butter ( doesnt the name make u happy?), a few muffins, hot pudding with custard just cos it's christmassy and i think there's more. still trying to lose weight here nevermind it's totally worth it

spent nearly an hour in a shop reading Helen Exeley giftbooks, they are my favourites, my pasttimes while waiting for my flight back from london airports :) look at this one, aw! all my favouritest thingssss

this tavern is the place we had our *** i dont know, we both don't have the time in those 2 days. i love town taverns

this pseudo shakespeare can sure read the proses well! i werent swept away though when he started spewing out words i couldnt really catch. just lots of love and sun and summer. and thee and thou.

eating my pie! SO GOOD! it has a pasty crust instead of a flaky crust and i was impressed. real chicken breast and so much real vege ( not frozen! ) i felt so contented after.


o hail the gingerbreadman. yinnin you have to read the story to find out. im not spoiling it for you hehe.

i like this thing! it's a coffee warmer. how sweet? but she says it's usb and can only be connected to a laptop so it wouldnt really warm my coffee. but still so clever

still have so many things that i have left out, those little thing uncaptured by the lenses which are really what made me happy beyond description. somehow being closer to nature have really have an effect on me, it's like taking a step back, stop and reevaluate what's really important to me and what the hell am i doing all this while. it was comforting to know that retrospection up till now still do not warrant an arrhythmic episode.

if you are to play a game which you surely know you would lose, will you still play it? or would you just quit beforehand?
i always know i would lose and be boo-ed in every single game i play with my brothers, but everytime i play with them, i still play it to my best. i wonder has it brought me to do what i am doing now. knowing the outcome and yet.. yea. just some analogy for something which has been on my mind. not telling.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

gosh im so tired now it's so late. of note,

today Professor Hill milked my coffee for me! i wanted to have a black one but i couldnt say no to gallantry. It is non-existent in my age group.

my little brother got 99 for maths and he has a badminton competition tomorrow. break a leg!

4 people in my family are running the penang bridge this 22nd. i am SO proud of them! i hope they have great fun, oh i miss them so so much.

my mama is on her way, she is my buddy and it would be great to have her here to go through half of the brutal winter with me. hehe am i smart or what :P
i dont mind working harder and sacrificing all my playtime now cos i know it'd be so worth it after this 2 weeks! serious cant wait to show her around and enjoy gingerbread latte with her :D:D:D:D:D:D

hope this season is happy for you as well !
