my first week had my ups and downs, but i got on fine. well, sort of fine. my parents left during the weekend, and i cried =( this morning, i called my dad while walking to school to wish him happy chinese new year. i cried again. and it was so hard to stop the tears. i was like pretending to yawn so that the passerbys would like not notice anything. eventually, i was successful, no one looked at me. LOL.
SUNDAY- 25 jan!
i met andrea to go to church. we went to hillsongs church at tottenham court road. the church was held in some theatre. it was so huge!! the people there was really friendly. some people came to talk to us. they thought that me and andrea looked 18! i was like 'really?!'. one girl even thought the singapore was located in china! lol! that gave us a GREAT laugh.
we sat third row from the front!! omg! and it was DAMN cool! i should have taken photos. it was like some concert! YIKES!! so cool! but the songs they sang i didn't know any. but i manage to get it after awhile. while we waiting for service to start. there were koreans sitting in front of us, and i thought that they were all girls. but there was a guy among then, and i unknowingly smiled at him. then he kept staring at me, then he smiled back. LOL. i didn't know he was a guy, he looked like a girl.. LOL. so after the thing ended, me and andrea walked to leicester square to meet Krislyn, Selina and Brenda. we had a tough time finding them, but we managed to. we ate at some steak house. and we suspected the waiter to be racist, cause they were really unfriendly. in the end it was alright. we headed down to china town after that. hanged around. soon, it turned dark. lol. like at 4.30pm. so all of them went back, cos they live in croydon, not in london. i stayed... i was meeting my aunt. then i was so bored! cos i had to wait till 530pm. i walked down from leicester square to trafalgar square. it was a long long walk. and it was super cold. to add to the cold, i was wearing stockings that made me feel the cold even more. i headed to charing cross station, which was next to the square. who could have thought, my money kena con!
this guy came up to me, and he was like saying "i've really got to buy a ticket and i'm short of 73 pence. i really need someone to help me, so if you please, it really be helpful. please!!" i was like staring at him, i felt reluctant, but he looked so freakking desperate. then i gave him 75 pence ($1.50). he said thank you so so so much. then he ran for the exit. i was some dumbass staring after him. then i walked out to trafalgar square again. a thought hit me, i was like if that guy wanted to buy a ticket then why he go out of the station. then i was like SHIT! i was conned! i was so pissed at myself. that i sat at some bench somewhere nearby, waiting, and like pissed. i feel so stupid....
then i met aunt, had great great new year renuion dinner with another grand-aunt. it was super nice! yummy-licious! reached home late and slept.
MONDAY-today
i had PE in the morning. this PE session was only for those whose birthday are after 1st sep 2008. cos in the UK system, they take you by academic year, unlike singapore, they take you year by year. so i'm like one of the youngest. there was 8 people all together, 4 boys, 4 girls. felt weird. the teacher drove us out to some sport hall nearby. first time there! btw, it was my first PE lesson. same for my friend, winzu, both of us were new to the lesson.
PE lessons would be playing different games different lessons. but this time, today, we did dancing... we are gonna do dancing for the next 3 weeks. we did hip hop!! LOL. all of us were like sticks. LOL. winzu and i was like what~~~ but it was fun. just 8 people LOL. then we headed back to school... met a new girl in chem class.... econs was tough again! i had a freakking hell of a time understanding anything. but i'll try working on it. then physics was last subject of the day.
i sat alone at the bck of the class. everyone in physics class talks chinese. and my chinese sucks so i just listen. the teacher talks english though. there are 4 malaysians, 2 china students in my phy class, and i'm the only singaporean. i cracked my fingers during class, and the noise was loud. that the guy in front of me suddenly swung his head around and started looking around. lol he didn't know the noise was from me. then the girl next to him asked what's wrong in chinese. then he pointed to some electrical box at the side of the room. the girl was like huh? lol! then i started laughing like crap! well, i laughed silently, or else people think i'm some crazy student. but it was damn funny! LOL. the guy thought that my cracking of fingers was a noise made by some chort circuit wire in the elcetrical box. and his reaction was so terrified, as if the classroom could be on fire anytime. LOL. super funny.
well, i miss everyone in singapore!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR AGAIN!
