THANKFUL~

Late night (2.20am), not particularly constructive...time for blog! Monday...4 more days and I have to travel to LEEDS on my own. I was so stressed today (6th Dec), got up late 11.15am, felt exceptionally guilty, ate a banana, drank a cup of coffee, read the news...and wanted to go to the library...but I did not go 'cos the accommodation thing at Leeds really bugged me, then I spent the WHOLE AFTERNOON searching for the cheapest possible accommodation within town centre, also wrote to the accommodation office at Leeds U, they replied within half an hour saying they do not offer accommodation to non- Leeds U students, and suggested me to try TravelLodge and Ibis. So... I tried TRAVEL LODGE, but then they did not have anymore 25 pounds offer, left with the 45 pounds double bed ones, and it's actually the best deal I could find, after compromising the distance and costs factor (Travellodge is in fact almost next to Leeds train station and at the heart of city centre). I settled with that deal after 3 more hours of further searches. Now...hehe...hope there's someone out there who wants to share half a bed with me so I can split the cost! kaka.... Yeah, so I wasted the whole day sorting out the accommodation at Leeds, and I panicked about my GRE revision! There are still tonnes to read! I could feel the stress burning inside me during the day, and I didnt have the mood to do any shopping nor have a proper meal, so I got through the day with bananas, Boasters, and Special K (without milk), eventually I cooked myself some noodles at 8.45pm. Then went to Kai's room with Boffin...to make CHOCOLATE FONDUE! Poor Kaikai....is getting a sore throat..hope you get better a.s.a.p!!!!!

Yeah, feeling sort of depressing that most of my best friends are leaving one by one for Christmas back in HK. My weekend was not constructive either, I spent Saturday finding a nice cheap restaurant to hold our little "horhor group/nite punting to Granchester group" 's Christmas dinner that evening. After about 2 hours search, I settled with Pizza Express @ Jesus Lane. It has a really great Christmas menu for 14.95 pounds (3 courses, with complimentary coffee afterwards! Cheap by UK standard I must say). The atmosphere was terrific, the waiters were polite, and the food was lovely too. After that, we all went to Gary's room at Corpus Christi College, playing cards (Com Min Toy, Chim Woo Guay, 7 Cup Chu, and Big-two). It's was fun! Leelee (Lydia) and SamSam left at around 1am, leaving Kaikai, and me (DaDa) in Gary's room. We just chat and chat for 3 and a half hours (left at 4.30am...was planning to walk, but decided to take a cab once we got out since it's too quiet and SCARY)! INCREDIBLE! I felt so happy that night, perhaps for the first time since I am in Cambridge, that I have some friends who I can really trust, who would listen and share my views, worries, feelings; and would evaluate them with me; while having great fun at the same time. I will never forget how grateful I am, and how much I appreciate them being in my life. If I have never come to Cambridge, I guess I will never find someone like them.

Thankyou. (3.00am)
