Dec 18 Day 2.
Reached Roma Tiburtina at 5am for changing of trains and reached Roma Termini at 7. 30 am. Carrying my 4.5 kg of baggage walking about 9 streets from Roma Termini to our Hostel ( Starlight Hostel ). Dumped our baggage, we headed off to sightseeing Roma. (PS: Roma is the italian for Rome)

 

The very first night of our trip was spent on a overnight train.......
A dire experience ever..... A train filled with individual cabins which hold six persons inside. However that particular train we board was no equipped with heater. God bless us..... Bright light shining into our eyes...coldness creeping into our shivering bodies.....
We did not caught a single wink of sleep.......... I tried to....ended up curling up as a ball to warm myself up.

Right at that moment....I was thinking how am i wished i was in Singapore, no need to be intrude by the coldness!! Haha...

The first post of 2006

Celebrated New Year eve with a full stomach of junk food.
I am suffering from overeating......in the other words means eating nonstop.
I have no idea why this will happen to me...just pray that my weight never increased. Perhaps i was too bored and somemore i am using my laptop in my kitchen cum living room....maybe due to this factor.

Eating disorder.... OMG!!
My last purchase for 2005 was 3 packets of potato chips and a packet of chocolate teacakes( that one is as a gift). OMg....how am i going to cut down my weight!!
Today, i ate 1 danish pastry, 3 big white chocolate cum rasberry cookies, 1 pot of yogurt, 1 huge serving of veggies and mushrooms, sardines , rice, a smoked salmon sandwich for breakfast and finished off one packet of my very expensive potato chips. Pls dunno drop ur jaws!!

Heard from my poly frenz...almost everyone in spore doing their attachment have slimmed down. However based on the pace i am going, my face getting rounder and rounder.

I must stop..........i cleared all my snacks le....2 packets of the very ex chips i locked them in the cabinet. Clear every junk out of my sights............

Tommorow is a fresh start.......time to do exercise!!
Seriously...spanking myself hard!!

Normal meals le....no more snacks...i am not going to buy anymore of the wadever nice looking pastry...although they are reduced or wadever..............I am going to snack on fruits and yogurts.

If not, my parents' jaws will dropped when they see me at the arrival hall!!!




New layout.....not very nice
abit messy
however i am abit sick of my old layout...
therefore decided to make a change
But alot of the skins i choosed were unsuitable for me to post pictures in them.....sob so sad
finally...choosen this one...
never mind i will continue looking for new blogskin which is very suitable for me to post pictures.

SOmemore the italy trip photos i havenot blog yet
sneak preview is available at here
but that not the all of it
I took about 600 photos......so much u know
okie minus some lousy photos and my friend's photos maybe left 400 photos
but that still alot right?

Hahah

went shopping in the snow/ ice filled road

60 sing dollars for a pair of Topshop formal trouser. Is it expensive? I am in dilemma....abit tight to fit size 8. Maybe due to the thermal pant i wearing. Should i get or should i not....Pls help me out!! The price is abit steep...but is already 50% reduction.

Whole newcastle is having sale...up to 70%. Yesh tommorrow checking out the new year sale!! YEsh!!!

Just came back from Salisbury . Quite sad, they donot have any reduced veggies or fruits. I ended up brought a loaf of bread, 4 cookies, 2 danish pastry, 2 pots of yogurt, 2 packets of salad and a big bag of onions. Having a difficult time bringing the stuffs back home, the walking pavement was slippery as it was filled with ice. Walking is a hinder to me now....

My home and eunice's home !!! Mine at the top left corner, hers at the mid bottom. Very near to KJE!!
See we are seperated by a highway.....KJE!!

When i just shifted to my current place, KJE was still under construction. That time, Xia's family and mine family will meet each other and spend our lazy weekends afternoon cycling on the newly built highway. Speeding along the KJE, with our mighty legs pedalling as hard as we could. Those enjoyable times we did have...so nice!! Both of our brother learned how to cycle on this particular highway.... Haha...This particular highway will always bring back fond memories of my childhood.

Nice to share with U guys some of my grandma's stories!!!
Tune in next time!!

Why?

Today is a perfect day for me !!! 完美的一天 ;)

Why?

This afternoon, one of the boss from liverpool paid a visit to our lab again!! Of course, there was free lunch after the little visit of his. The lunch was held at the old library cluster, i had a baked cod in scallots and thyme, accompanied with a bottle of "Fanta" ( carbonated lemonade with sweetner). The cod was in baked in a cream based sauce with bacons bits, scallots and some thyme. I was allowed to choose 2 sides dishes to accompany my baked cod. The 2 side dishes i chosen were boiled brussel sprouts and ginger shredded cabbage. My whole main course cost about 4.75 pounds not inclusive of the drink. So expensive!! Must pray hard....that the liverpool boss come often!!

Then went back to my lab, continue with my assigned experiments......Did UV- Vis experiment, did some data entry for my results...plotting graphs....with my full stomach!!
Out of the mist of my work, i stumbled across the school website......."Tonight they having a carolling service in one of the churches in the city center." They stated that there will be free wines and mincepies and performances. I was so delighted, logged in to MSN....to ask the guys whether they want to accompany me or not!! 4.30pm le.... experiments did finish...so decide to make my way home!! WeeeeeeeeeH! Flew home to come online and chatted with my brother & mum online. Heard some gd news, so happy!! And chatted with some friends over MSN, happily chatting...while waiting for Delwyn to get ready.

6pm left house, went to St Thomas. The whole church was lighted, however the main entrance was dark. Both of us thought that we were late, maybe the person in charge shut the entrance. We walked around the church, desperately to find a back door entrance. However we did not manage to....so like abit gave up hope. I went to the main entrance and push the door, the glass door opened. The entrance was dark, after the glass entrance door there was another main door. I pushed open the main door, the priest was conducting a service. Both of us were looking at each other, thinking are we in the correct place? Haha..till i saw the name tag on one of the people in charge..saw the Uni logo. Yes is the correct place. One song was sung...which brought back some secondary school days feeling. I do like carolling...i love the songs that the church usually sing. Very nice...especially my sec days where every start of the school term, there will be mass which i was forced to attand. Those days were like, so hot in the hall, with my tie in my collar, somemore must endure the numbness in my knees where sitting with my legs cross-legged. AiloooYa!!! Mary lah....all that would be humming in my hot head.

KK, back to the carolling...
The christmas song was sung...then priest said " okie this is the last song! Please enjoy the wine, orange juice and mincepies." Heheh.....time for eating!! The mincepie is very nice, i think it is only available during Christmas season. It contains raisins, orange peel and some sweet stuffs. I ate 2 of it....and drank one glass of wine. Not born with a sweet tooth, the bitter wine was nice companion to have with the sweet mincepie. Oh ya...we were so delighted to find out the mincepie we ate were from the "Greggs" each cost about 60 pences. Wah save alot!! Happy!!

After the eating and drinking, we went to city center to shop and walked around. I was telling Delwyn whether Ferwrick having any reduced price sandwiches. Cos everytime i passed by Ferwrick i wanted to taste their Damn nice sandwiches.....but they are very expensive. Hence we went in and true enough. They having some reduced price sandwiches. haha very happy got each other a sandwich. Each cost 1.10 pounds. Olsen never came along with us..dun know whether he want so never get for him. After all, he is a walking boney...not need to eat one loh!! I sure kena from him!!

Then went to the Christmas Fair....saw alot nice sweets, chocolates and fudges.....Lucky i not that carve for them. They had christmas tree make of chocolates...very nice!! I sampled on some cheese and sausages. OMg the dried sausages like uncooked meat....very horrible!! The cheese was very nice... Maybe i will get some home from Amsterdam!! DEpends on My $$
Then went to CO-ops, to get some stuffs...and went home!!

So fruitful....is really a 完美的一天 !!!

Deadbeat

Recently for the past few days I had been burning midnight oil till 2am. Writing the interim report was not a simple task, personal think that it was far worst than lab report. The details of my project was not stated clearly to me, hence I had to do a lot of research on that. Going through websites, reading scientific papers and referring to textbooks. Something like doing the final year project, where Lesey and I usually stayed back in school mugging to do research without any productivity. At least final year project was a group work based therefore not that bad. The objectives of the final year project were stated in details; the concept behind was what I had learned throughout for the past 2 and half years in NP. The attachment project’s concept is electrochemistry, a field that I am barely studied or trained in except during sec 4. The chemistry theory is like redox reaction, protons, electrons and electron transfer. So different from what I had studied in NP, where I calculated mass and energy transfer (my key interest), energy balance, flow rate and scaling of pumps.

I love mass transfer…very much!!

No pain no gain…. I really do like Chemical engineering a lot, although fuel cell is also consider as one of the applications of chemical engineering. Hopefully in the future, my work is something associated with my passion. Something challenging and interesting, last but no least with an attractive income!! Hmm….

tHE tHREESOME....dONE WITH UK and Scotland!!!

I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world
Everybody wants a piece of me
And I just don't know where to turn
I've got work piled up to my head
All I want to do is jump into bed
And wash away my troubles with lemonade
Play hide and seek with the boy next door
Take a trip to Singapore and
Imagine how I'll make the world a better place
All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recogniseThat I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-Yeah

If I were a little girl
Trying to clean up the whole wide world
I'd kick the bad boys back to school
Teach them fighting's just not cool
I'd give every kid a teddy bear
Turn starving people into millionaires
Break glass ceilings with dynamite
sprinkle a little sugar and spice
Turn the bullies that terrorize
Into pink poodles that bark, but don't bite
All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognise
That I'm feeling so small

All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-Yeah
Little Superhero Girl
Little Superhero Girl
Save me
Little Superhero Girl
Little Superhero Girl
Save me from myself
I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world

Had a full blast weekend ever.....

A late update on my last weekend,
Went to Scotland's highland, Skye and Loch ness. Sunny, clear blue sky...And snowy mountains...Everything under the sun...In the freaky cold weather...

If is the summer, I think I can jump into the clear water or paddle the boat catching salmon.

I love Scotland.... I love the feeling and everything including the SIngle malt Whiskey which relieve my cold body into warmness.....

One thing to note: I never brought a single thing..... Singapore has everything. No point buying... Since my dad don't want to buy whiskey. Intended to buy whiskey toffee...But abit ex... Sweet only wad..Nothing special... Hahha

SPeeding on to Italy....On DEc looking forward
SLing

Scotland will be in my heart....Very nice
