A very sad birthday to come...
Friday, December 01, 2006
Taking a break from writing another 2000 word report on Environmental Management Case Study.. it's due next week but I just feel like finishing it off before flying off to Amsterdam this Saturday.
52 days, 6 hours and 32 more minutes to my flight back to Singapore. Suddenly I'm getting all nostalgic here and 舍不得 to leave this place... BTW, the provisional examination timetables are out:

Seems like a pretty decent well spread-out timetable for an exam, though it doesn't help that my 2 worst papers are at the very end and my last paper is an afternoon paper on my 24th birthday itself. Considering that the sun sets at around 4.30pm nowadays.. ending a paper at 4pm is equivalent to half my birthday spent mugging.
And my 24th birthday will mark the last few days I'd be spending with all my friends here.. my flatmates.. the Singaporean and Malaysian gang, Yuanjing's flatmates... I haven't had enough of this place yet (no not UK but Europe in general).. and who knows when I'll ever ever ever come back to this part of the world again in my lifetime?
Teckie was proposing going to Copenhagen from 18th-22nd Jan. Sounds like a good last-ditch attempt to visit another city 12 hours away from home. But now I'm seriously considering spending my last days with friends here instead.
SEP's really a good retreat and a fantastic hideaway from all the problems back home. Much as I wanna see my family and friends again, going back to Singapore still = going back to sucky NUS = worries about results, IA, Specialisation, FYP...
Sigh. The best thing I can hope for is that my exams will end earlier. (Notice I said provisional exam timetable?) Knowing that how cockup English system is anything can happen until the final timetable is out. *cross fingers and pray*
I hate goodbyes. Especially goodbyes-for-good like this one. Wanna run out there and give everyone a good hug before leaving.
Wa lau what happen to me? So gu niang. Haha. Must be the cold rain at 2am in the morning.. adds to the nostalgia.
Ok la back to my essay. Uploaded photos on my Visit-Kinyew-in-Belgium trip on Flickr already.. need some time to come up with a post (yes, and all the other posts on my past few weekends). In the meantime, to all Harry Potter fans, here's what I found at London's Kings Cross train station
Going to Hogwarts, anyone?
