where is the weekend?

it's been a really long time people. okay, i've been REALLY busy with stuff the couple of weeks. and i have a test tmr and some tutorial which i should be preparing for it. but it's been in me that i always do every other thing when it comes to doing work. =/

ok let's back track here. 2 weeks then, i went to oxford for a weekend trip. and oxford is amazing. really. since it's a town campus, the school is HUGE. i like the culture there, where the school is split into many different colleges and stuff. and the architecture of the buildings there just soooooooo ancient and it's quite cool to stay there for a couple of years and study huh. oh well, the environment there just makes u want to study and learn. maybe that's why oxford produces so many talents like Einstein.

then i was really busy with school work. lots of projects and deadlines. and last weekend, a friend of mine came to london, so i brought her around for the past few days. about this friend, this is really funny, cos we only met once before this, and it's like she cant remember how we met, so it's kinda of like an acquaintance then really friend. okay, i was quite tiring by just bringing her around. but it was really really enjoyable. great company. :)

anyway, looking at my finance now, im in a really bad state. i have like £50 to survive on for the next 3 weeks?! YAH. WTF. what have i really spent all those hard earned government money on?! oh well, i spent £490 on my ski trip, all paid for. then this friend of mine want to go to the canary islands in january cos she's not going anywhere for christmas. without much consideration, i agreed. =/ but that's not the point, cos that place is cool. as in the place is somewhere in spain, not the mainland but some small island off spain, and it is spring/summer all year round! YES! im going to the beach, to enjoy the sun sand sea in nice cool weather. :) but the thing that really put me off is the air ticket price. i paid, or rather we paid £150 each for the air tickets. and that explain why i'm super duper broke now. and with the little touring of london with my special friend, there goes all my money. =/

oh yes, one interesting. guess what. im so in love in photography. ok this sounds really cliche. but i just realised the wonders of it. and this is really amazing. looking at things from a different perspective, and things aren't always the same. i was having some lessons on how to use the DARKROOM with the school's photosoc (short for photography society). YES. the darkroom. yesterday was on developing and printing B&W photos. and it's really amazing how silver bromide, light and some chemicals with time, oxygen, and temperature can produce the most amazing invention in the world - photographs. soon we'll learn about more complicated stuff like adjusting local contrast and colour developing, printing and of course cross-processing. AND YES CK aren't just so jealous?! and the best thing is, EVERYTHING IN THE DARKROOM IS FREE FOR MEMBERS USE! :) after all these lessons, im thinking of building my own darkroom when i get back to singapore. and i will, mark my words.

okay lastly some reflections here. after a few weeks of very happening events. i think i'm bound to be single for the rest of my life.=/ not being pessimistic, but i think that might be true? recall the special friend i mentioned earlier? i thought we had some LITTLE sparks going on, but then i realised on her last day here, that she's already attached?! sometimes i really wonder WHY ON EARTH SUCH THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?! hmm. is this fated or something? and am i just thinking too much? it's quite frustrating and tiring sometimes. but i just have to face it with a more bravery.

oh well, it's getting late i should work done and do some studying for my test.


P.S. IM GONNA FCUKING MISS SINGAPORE DAY IN LONDON NEXT YEAR. like WTF MAN!!!!
