I thought I am going to write a lot about this trip, but then now that I finally have the time to sit down and blog, I realise many things cannot be explained by typing them out, we've got to experience them ourselves. I cannot put my experience of this trip into words as I feel that even words are not enough to describe the exposure I got from this trip. From the snowflakes forming on the windows of the airplane to the excitement when I felt when I was about to reach home to the warmth of Singapore. I really am thankful to my generous parents who are willing to fork out so much money for me. They might not always be my pillar of support mentally (cuz I don't pour my childish feelings to them), but they have been trying to give my brother and me the best financial support they can. I feel bless and grateful to them. Especially Mom, she must have missed me so much (':

Manchester:


Liverpool & Leicester:


Warwick:
Warwick Castle & two new friends I made during the trip! Childish Elisha & Wenceslaus fighting!!

Waking up to snowfall, morning exercise with snowball fights <3 Bonus!







London:
My childish lao peng yous Amirul & Karen, My roommates Amanda & Jastine & our wonderful teachers~!!! Its still really fun to have time to catch up with my year 1s friends, my roommates were really cool~! Its really nice to stay with them, no hassles at all !! (: & the two teachers that took good care of us!

Also, now I know the famous bridge of london is not london bridge but called towers' bridges!






I need to thank those people on the trip that brought so much fun to me (: My room mates Amanda and Jastine who were so understanding of women's needs and chiong pack luggage together!! hahaha! Wenceslaus for being so high and fun?? Elisha for letting me watch movies on his laptop until all of us knock out ! And especially Agatha, YY & WeiChiat (Although I always box you!) The fun & laughters cannot be measured even though I am always the one that they are laughing at >_< hehe xoxo! <3

All in all it was definitely an informative trip that allow me to think a lot more about my future and the route I should be heading towards since my gpa is quite malnourished now and all.. After I told my Aunt about the criteria and all I am glad they are still supportive of me. Uncle Ed even say, don't go to a lousy uni because of low GPA, take entry exams! hahaha, I am glad, to have a whole kampung behind me ^^ 

PS: I suddenly felt home sick ~

To what's ahead

我经常损你,是因为我相信我们的关系。
I believe that no matter what is before me, you'll still be by my side. Guess I am always wrong.. You leave, he left, she is gone, they walked on.. Facing the cold hard truth that nobody is going to stay by my side forever.. I am afraid.. I am afraid that I might lose all I have now..

I am selfish am I.? I don't want to share things sometimes!! Arghh!! Not jealous though, just don't understand why some pple can be so lucky and some pple can be so unlucky.. From what family you're born in to the opportunities presented to you in different situations, I just cannot understand.. Fair, equality, all these are just plain bullshits to me now!! zz.. Nothing is fair tbh... I feel like slapping myself in the face when I recall how i tell my mom "Mommy not fair leh" when i was still young and childish.. But the sad part of my life now is that I don't fight for fairness or equality anymore even if it is unfair towards me. I will just tell myself, nothing is fair in this world, too bad, you just gotta suck it up ! Aiyah, this world is like that one la, where got fair one la!

I hate the fact that I think this way now.

PS: When will lady luck be in my favour ??
