In the end it is inevitable that long distance will cause people to drift apart.
And now I'm suddenly annoyed because some people were right all along -.-
While I do look forward to meeting you all when I return, it doesn't hurt anymore to think about the fact that I'm perhaps missing out on your lives or that we are separated by a long distance.
On a side note, I have ponned 12 lectures as of now :D By the 10th ponned lecture I did a mini-celebration by buying a lot of groceries. When I have ponned my 20th lecture I shall do another mini-celebration. Maybe this time I shall buy ice cream completely for myself.
For those people wondering about my studies *cough*, the modules I'm taking is still very easy as of now, as can be seen from my large number of ponned lectures and still doing well. (Yes doing well not merely surviving). Today just got back my tutorial and the tutor was saying the cohort average was 9-14/20, while I stared at my 20/20 lol.
There would be another test next week gahh. Suddenly feel like they are rushing with the exams. Luckily I've got one module where there's only a final exam and no tests in between so I only need to prepare for two modules' worth of tests.
Though friend-wise I'm still stuck at one. Not that I'm actively trying anyways, can't be bothered with active friend-making nowadays.

Yoooo I'm keeping this blog updated because blogs need to be updated.
This week is supposedly reading week, where there's no school and students are expected to study or revise their various modules. Well at least expected to do so, though most people would have gone to other places for vacation cus it's basically a one week holiday.
I had two tests during my reading week, one chem and one molecular bio. But the molecular bio was dam screwed up because halfway through the test the fire alarm went off, so everyone had to evacuate the building. As the test was done online and there was a countdown timer for it, everyone's test during that time period was voided. Probably going to have another test next week or something.
Other than that not been doing anything new, because there's test this week I've been staying in my dorm almost 24-7 (good excuse hurhur).
Oh I found 90% dark chocolate at Waitrose. Maybe there's also such thing in sg but I've never tried it before so I bought it. The taste is really very cocoa, like unsweetened chocolate tending towards coffee already. But it's nice, because if you explore through the bitter taste slowly you would taste the sweetness at the end. Though I think I would do better with 85% or 80% instead.
Oh yes I also need to share this hilarious thing that happened during Halloween. I paid for this halloween boat party organised by the singapore student society, where we basically party on a boat during halloween on the river thames. So I went for the event and they have to check everyone's baggage before they are allowed onto the boat, and also need to check the person's ID to ensure he or she is of legal drinking age because the boat sells alcohol. I forgot to bring my ID, so I told them I never bring it, so they told me to wait at the side until they have finished checking everyone first. Then after that they said I can go onto the boat but need to check my bag. THEN I REALISED ITS THE SAME BAG I CARRIED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT COOKING. So they found this weird wrapped up package and when they uncovered it, a longer-than-six-inch ceramic knife revealed itself. The security people were like 'HOLY SHIT. THAT'S SOME LETHAL SHIT MAN.' while I'm all ._______________________. 'shit'. At first they allowed me to go onto the boat but have to confiscate my knife (as well as my cutleries). Afterwards they brought me out and told me I'm not allowed onto the ship anymore cus the captain is dam pissed off lol. And they can't return me all the stuff they confiscated (probably cus if I go onto a rampage after that and started killing people they would be partially responsible). So I kind of lost my possessions and was barred from the event. In the end worked out the best of the situation and took photos along the river instead.

Tried out the panorama function on my phone and it turned out quite well I guess. The river thames reminds me of clarke quay actually. It's like basically clarke quay lor. Or more like clarke quay is modeled after river thames.

Prettiest gel

Yayyyyyy my lab partner and I won the prettiest gel competition. Here's a photo of the gel :D

I guess, I mean nothing to you.

Continuing in London

Yoooooo I realised it's being a while since I last posted (actually are there still people who read my blog?), and now I shall talk more about daily school life instead of sad stuff, not that it's not sad but still.
Even after uh 3 weeks into my school the lectures are still boring, boring in the I-knew-this-thousand-of-years-ago sense. Biochemistry is basically A level chemistry + molecular biology as of now. Sometimes they will throw in new things like MO theory hoping you won't know what it is, except that period of ChemO lessons were not completely forgotten.
As of now I've skipped 4 lectures yayyy (like a delinquent), as well as attended two lectures which made me regret attending. I would always sit at the first few rows of the lecture playing with my phone (now that my phone plan was changed so it became staring into empty space), but recently I started copying stuff for DNA replication already.
Hmm other than that I'm trying to apply for part time tutoring kind of jobs so that I can earn some allowance, and with that extra allowance I might finally decide to travel outside of walkable range. But before that life is still the same, saving as much money as I can, so I don't spend money on anything outside food, and I reduce that to as low as possible also.
Have a few outings with people I know here, like all the girl outings with esther and mag, and tesco/waitrose outings with benji. But apart from that I spent most of my time at my dorm doing practically nothing. Ahhh should start self-studying but I always get sleepy in the afternoons.
I've attended two lab sessions as of now, one session where my hands got owned by acid fumes. Like they let us use concentrated sulfuric acid during the first lab session then I never wear gloves and when I was heating the acid solution the fumes got onto my hands. Now fingers dam itchy haiiiz. The second lab is on gel electrophoresis, which is just as boring :3

Ok my life today is brightened up because gc and dmy's relationship became public :DDDDD

Actual lessons

I have already started on actual lessons, but they are currently dam lame. Mostly cus I already learnt all those stuff already so while everyone is taking notes (seriously? take notes of what) during lectures I'm just being bored and staring at my phone.
Once again I skipped two different lectures today, mainly because I don't feel like waking up at 8 am. Then again the stuff they teach I probably knew all already. Shall go to their videos to see whether they started talking about spectroscopy. While the other lecture is still stuck at pH and pKa -.-

I hate it when people start running on inferiority complex. Like seriously so what if you're noober or you're actually noob. Just live life in the way you like it and follow what you desire. What is the point of comparing and thinking you're noober than someone else you are not even going to live his / her life for him / her.

Currently the most pleasing point in my London life is when my lab coat flaps in the air as I walk. Cool to the max.

London life

Essentially my current London life is like no life.
I MISS ALL THE FOOD. IT'S LIKE ANY FOOD IN SINGAPORE IS BETTER THAN LONDON FOOD PLS. Then again that is hall food for you -.-
I'm running on a budget of 10 pounds per day. Since breakfast and dinner are catered I only need to worry about lunch. With 10 pounds you can barely spend on anything. Actually you can lah, but after that you can't buy anything else. Like in Singapore maybe after lunch you would buy a drink, or dessert, or snacks. But no. In London after lunch I would barely have any money on anything.
When your life is restricted by a 10 pound budget you can barely do anything. Travel around more? Bullshit. The shortest possible single trip via the trains cost 4 pounds. Let's assume you are super money-saving and spend 4 pounds on lunch. Then in that day you would have spent 12 pounds just travelling and eating lunch. What sightseeing, what going around? If you're not rich everything about London life is merely a beautiful illusion.
