Letter to Myself ♥

Dear Casey,

I'm writing this letter to you as the year is coming to an end and it's time to reminisce the past memories that you've created this year and come up with new resolutions that can make you a better and happier person.

Have you ever thought that you could be so independent and survive in a foreign country without your parents by your side? Or have you in the first place, ever imagine that you would have a chance to step your foot in the UK? Well, I'm sure you did. Cause you're right there now and doing great.

Education. It's been 2 years since you doubted your decision on taking up this course. It might still not be your favourite and what your heart truly wants but see, you've being doing well throughout the past 2 years and u're already in third year now. Just another one more year to go till your uni life comes to an end. Unless you wanna continue doing your PhD. So just go out there and enjoy the time being with your uni mates before you start working and never have time to travel with them again.

Family. You should be grateful you have such caring parents. A loving dad and mum. That never stop loving you no matter how many times you hurt their hearts by doing silly stuff. A naughty sis as well. That you always complain about but still love her cause she's your one and only sister in this world. Your doggie, Nong Nong is still acting like 1 year old although he's already 10. You should know, sometimes mum nags for a reason. If it weren't because of her nagging, you wouldn't be there in UK using money like using water. And at the same time, still not causing burden to your parents. The best thing is buying presents for your family without using their money. But still, please control yourself.

Friends. To you, friends are priceless and more important than anything else. Keep up with this thought and never lose faith. Appreciate friends that are there for you all the time. To share your happiness and sorrows. There are times that you will meet friends that hurt you, but do not let if affect you. Stay strong and believe in yourself.

Relationship.Initially you thought it would be fine to be on a long-distance relationship, but as time pass, you began to doubt your thoughts and it was never the same anymore. There's no turning back to the words that hurts and I know you won't forgive yourself for the mistakes you've done. Give a deep thought of what you really want and stop causing pain to the other party. Think of what he'd done for you and those that you went through together. It might be worth the wait.

Life. Life can be full of obstacles and things might not always turn out the way you want them to be. With the perseverance you have, i'm sure you will be able to go through it and do the best out of it. Stop saying you're the suey-est person on earth cause there are other people out there who does not have the blessings you're getting. Stop worrying about the future, about things that are not meant to be known. The time will come and you'll eventually experience it. For the time being, stop being emotional and live a happy life. Be a cheerful girl like you used to be.

Don't wanna keep you reading this letter anymore. Have fun in Birmingham for the New Year's celebration. Have a great new year ahead and have more luck. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hello 2011 =)

Yours truly
Casey.

Snowy York

York, a walled city located in North Yorkshire, England. It was first day of snow and everyone got really excited. Soft white snow under my feet. Not that i haven't seen any of it before, but somehow it's a different feeling. Its amazing =)


While waiting for the bus in East Drive. Smtg
hilarious happened. ChenTing tried to trick me
by throwing his glove on my back. And i thought
it was the snow =.= Ended up, someone (couldnt recall
precisely who was it)
helped me took revenge by stuffing
his glove with snow. There goes his pair of chilly
cold gloves. Play la play la.... play more =p


National Railway Museum. We were so unlucky to be
there at the wrong time. The Hogwarts train wasn't
there as it was removed for filming purposes =(


All restaurants were either full booked or full house
because of some event going on in the city and look
at the queue for the ever famous Yorkshire Pudding.


So, we gave our stomach to York's famous Cornish Pie


Heavy snow in front of the York Minster
and i forgot to bring my beanie along =( Luckily
the guys have hoodies and borrowed me his beanie.
If not my hair would have been super wet =s


Snow!!!!! *sounded like some jakun again*


Before we left for the York Designer Outlet.
Snow Wars are love. That's when we get to see smiles
on everyone's face =) When can we have this again??


Nothing beats a cup of steamy ginger latte
burning your tongue on a lovely white snowy day =D

Snow!!! This Early???

Winter's arriving early this year. So much sooner than we thought. It's not even december yet and snowman is here. What is wrong with the weather???



I know i have been babbling about how much i love the snow. But now, i seriously dislike it. You know why??? Look at the picture below.


It causes my fingers and toes to be swollen. Well, fingers swollen still acceptable. But my toes, it starts turning purple =.= And after what GG told me, i'm really scared max. I might end up in A&E one night due to anaphylactic shock. A bit too extreme i guess. CHOI CHOI CHOI!!!!

So this question again.

HOW AM I GONNA SURVIVE THRU WINTER?!?!?!?

Down On Luck

I swear i'm the suey-est person on earth!!!! I nearly burnt down my room or rather my entire house if KYee wasn't kepoh enough. Almost had two corpse in House 72.

Came back from placement yesterday and happily went to shower. Out of a sudden, KYee came out and started asking if i smell any burnt plastic. Of course not. I could only smell my shower gel =.= Then luckily she was kepoh enough and told me she's gonna check on my room. The next word i heard from her, was FIRE. What??? I didn't even have time to wear my clothes and came running out of the bathroom. Wrapped in my towel *luckily shi hao wasn't in* The first thing i saw was orange flame. And what came next wasn't how to put off the fire. It was my laptop. Right on top of the fire. Quickly unplugged it and i just stood there didn't know what to do next.

KYee ran out of the house to get help and we were really lucky. A friend, TC was just walking pass and came to the rescue. Grabbed the fire extinguisher and saved the day. Both of us were in shock and couldn't even remember that we have a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall. Stupid switch. Imagine if this happen when I'm sleeping like a pig at night. Really GG.com.



But the day got better with Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows =) Two things that i do not like about UK cinemas; free seating and their super long lame advertisements. We had to enter super early just to get good seats and sat there for almost an hour before the movie starts due to 30 minutes of the adver =.= The movie was rather so-so. No climax at all except the part where i got shocked by the idiot snake. Bet it's all in Part 2. So will be anticipating it. Till we meet again in summer, Harry Potter =)

Told you guys i'm super suey this year and no one believed me. Now u know.

What a suey suey suey day ='(

But i was wrong

Rather disappointed than angry

Becoz it's simple

Your lies no longer hurt me ~.~

Birthday Daytrip to Lincoln

13th Nov. For a day trip. To celebrate our dear blur egg's 21st Birthday. Such a coincidence, this place shall be eggy's placement area during the summer =D

Lincoln, a cathedral city located in Lincolnshire, England. And i call it the Land of Truffles and Candies. You'll know why later (^.^)


Sculpture outside of Waterside


Our signature piggy pose. After the one in
Rutland hall.


Tried to figure out what sculpture is this but we
failed. So we decided to take a pic with it and figure
it out at home.


Bump into this little pretty bride while walking
up to the cathedral. Hope she's blessed with all
the happiness a girl would ever have =)


The girls. Can you believe it, that before
we actually took this pic, we were actually
taking pictures in a cemetery opposite this
cathedral without realising it until someone
(luckily was from our gang) shouted that it's someone's
grave that we're stepping on =.= Eeekkksss.
Really really sorry.


One of the entrance into the cathedral.
Hmm, and i spotted something weird
about the statues outside this cathedral.
Some are headless =s Wondering if there's
a story behind it.


Love these colourful windows ^^ So artistic feel.


One gong xi fatt cai and the other praying.
We're in a church doink =p


Steep Hill. We were practically exhausted
after walking up this hill. And such steep
hills can cause serious accident =x


My lunch. Brazilian Fried Chicken. Super super
nice. Me love the potato salad the most.


Our cute Birthday girl =) Hope you likey
the presents and enjoyed the trip.


JooLian recommended us to Cheese Society for
lunch but the restaurant was too crowded at lunch
time and didn't have tables to accommodate 11 of
us. So we ended up in this warm cozy rest which
was also very small either.
*Yinny, Jacky, Moi, Bday girl Hanny, Novell, Yinjen, JasMin, ChenTing,
LC, Kyee and Shi Hao*



Candy shop where we bought some candies
back. Lemon Fizz Balls + Wormy =)


Handmade chocs. Awesome rocksome
truffles and strawberry chocolates!!!!


We walked so far just to see this windmill
but.............. it was close when we reach and
pls tell me what is so special about this
windmill??? Sigh.


When the clock strikes 12..........


She was already on bed when we crashed into
her room with home-made cheese cake >.<

Happy Birthday My Dear Hanny!!!! May all your wishes come true and remember that we will always be here for you no matter what :D
*so no more emo okay*

P/S: At first we planned to go for the Lincoln Xmas Market. But seems like there's a change of plan. And we'll be heading to Birmingham next week =) Worry not, we'll definitely be back soon again for Cheese Society. Cheese cake love =p
