It feels so good to be eating ice-cream when the weather is cold. Not that i'm actually doing it, considering how i'd closed the window as i tuck into my Cookie Dough Ben&Jerry's ice-cream. Wow...but it's DAMN satisfying! Haha, i guess it's cos i've been craving ice-cream since FOREVER, considering how i'd been down with a cough, and then down with a cold. It's been a month since i last tasted ice-cream. The horrors!
Anyway, Italy air tickets have been booked! It's rather ironic that i'll be going there without visiting Rome and Venice, but i guess the places that Jansen has planned sounds interesting nonetheless (Florence, Milan, Lake Como, Sicily!), and I can't wait for dec to come so i can fly off already! Spain planning is still in a mess though, haha i guess mostly cos i'm doing the planning for that, and I have still yet to figure a lot of things out. But will be meeting lilian in glasgow this thurs, and then we can really sit down and discuss, and start the rest of the booking! :P Sadly, tutorial timings are STILL not out, and weekend trips have to be held on hold, even though i'm already more than ready to book tickets for at least a couple of them. Ah wells. Hopefully by the end of this week, as promised.
On another note, was talking to Kenneth, and I realise that I've more or less settled into life in Nottingham. There's no longer that feeling that 'I'm in the UK', or 'I'm staying in a hostel'; now i view Notts Uni as 'school', Market Square as 'town', and my hostel as 'my room/home'. I guess having nice roommates help. Xin Yi is like this big sis to me, always fussing over whether i'm getting enough food, whether i need help with this and that etc. Also, now that I've met people like See Jia, Russell, Sheanney, Wilson, Natalie, Pierre, Andrea and Stephanie, school no longer seems like such a friendless place. Sadly they'll all leave notts after this sem though. But i guess it's good that there's always msn to keep in contact, and I can always meet See Jia and the rest of the NUS exchange peeps again when i'm back in sg. :P
And i'm also getting pro-er at cooking! Haha i think by the end of the academic year, I can go for a chef degree. Thankfully communal dinners within the flat are getting more frequent though. It's really damn mafan to cook just my own share. And with communal dinners, it means more dishes! Like yesterday there was my french fries (made from scratch with potatos) and lemon chicken, xin yi's ma po tofu, and sen jie's stir fried beef, and long beans with pork slices. YUM! :P
