They call me Em. Or M.
Love like you've never loved before; don't hold back. Always love a cappuccino with toast and some newspapers. Enjoy the quiet mornings. Oh and hang on tight to those heartstrings - they are all that matters! Most importantly: LOVE GOD, love people.
Let's be the salt and light of the earth

I realise I don't know where all the time that I have on my hands go to. I need to stop talking to people!! But I want go around visiting though. Tough balancing act.
'A breath of fresh air' would be apt. I hear new perspectives here I see young people with ideals which is rare I see the level of independence in people's thinking and I admire them for that. There's also this level of chemistry with certain people that I've never experienced before and I really really treasure it. Is this what it means to be overseas, this elusive ideal? I feel really blessed and I thank God for it. I pray God'll use me to touch their lives in any little way I can..
Anyway, quick update again, time is slipping out of my hands sigh.

Went for lecture, crappy introductory ones yet still so competitive I can't comprehend the reason for that, other people seem really into the whole thing already! Really tiny room for 180 people and mind you it's not tiered. Anyway, hung around with friends then headed for AEROBICS;D Cool remixed music and great workout. So going again.

Classes as usual, more introductory lectures, talked a lot throughout the day then headed for DANCESPORT at night. Love it.

Free day! The morning was the usual, getting breakfast out of the way, tried to do some reading, headed out to town w the sporeans for groceries walk walk walk by the time we came back it was 5 plus pm. Time is short when you enjoy yourself. I love grocery shopping hahah I can get many cheap things all at once. I think 18 pounds for groceries per week is reasonable. That means I get to save..32 pounds per week. Sounds like a plan;D

2 lectures today, went to library to scare myself that everyone has been studying and choped books. And I'm not going to be embarassed by that. Go Singaporeans!! So gonna renew them everyweek nyeheh. Talked to people as usual. Gotta stop that. And then for the highlight of the day, AKBAR'S for singsoc dinner! Awesome. The naan was bigger than 2 faces put together. It was GOOD. Took a loooooong walk back and my sister came:D

The day is not over yet but it was a nua day today;D just had one tutorial but that was enough to intimidate me, everyvody was imba. I only managed to contribute certain things. Oh well, hope that it'll pick up.. Heading to youth chinese christian fellowship to check it out later.. I'm going to study now.
Hmmm I vowed not to make my blog a daily log of my activities but it seems that's inevitable now I used to get annoyed reading blogs which consisted of daily activities like I want depth! Oh well. But to be honest I don't really read blogs too lol. I have to keep all you people updated :D

HALLUJUAH!! Hi world, sorry for the absence, have been out a lot and rather busy but I'll just give an overview of what I usually do in York.
I ever thought that my blog would serve as a diary documenting my life in York but seems like it's not working out lol but at least it hasn't been a log for emotional/distressful thoughts which comes with homesickness which thankfully hasn't and isn't going to set in:D Praise the Lord! God is real and living He answers prayers He places such good people in my life and around me I thank God for them!
Anyway, basically what I do here besides lots of walking is that I head to other sporeans houses for meals/chillaxing sessions which really is enjoyable :D so far I've been to huanting's, jessie's, jon's (which by far has the best meal), marissa's and I held a couple of meals myself too. Awesome. Ytd I had 2 lectures, went to collect my textbooks and went for the library tour then went for aerobics lesson:D AEROBICS IS SO FUNNNN!!! And one, and two to the left to the right lol.. today I'll have one lecture then grocery shopping then dancesport at night:D
I walk to town I walk to Morrisons I walk to my department I walk everywhere. It takes about 15 mins from Alcuin College (where I'm staying) to Psych building.
OH ya I have lots of reading to do for Psych! apparently some of them has taken Psych for A levels so I have to read up to catch up with them. Sigh.
Hope all ofyou back there are doing fine man, love yall xxxxxx

So far so good. My worries have been put to rest and I've just been overwhelmed with a deep sense of gratefulness all the nice people I've met so far in this place. I really thank God for these encounters, God answers prayers! And for the wonderful news which filtered in earlier this week. Congrats jiejie :D
I've learnt to take it easy.. Vague desperation for friends seems to be raging around here. Bar crawls and what not.. Perhaps my no-alchohol stint is an excuse for not venturing out/a cover for the lack of courage? At least I've been to B Henry's. But I just think its not the only direction to go. I do sense some postitive change coming along so I'm just very grateful for that.
I don't know if any of you are reading this BUT WHEN I GET BACK I'M GONNA SPEAK FLUENT KOREAN :D yay!!! It's my dream come through. Or more like fantasy.
I've met a Keanu Reeves lookalike 4 times!! And a HK dude for like 3 times. Alright massive fangirling moment.
Psych building, nice mentor, korean lesson, CU BBQ, nice guys from the other flat

An update.
First post from the UK! I believe I'm jetlagging still. Feeling slpy at 8 pm local time.. And I look like crap. Being here puts you to sleep early in the evening though. Let's see.. Didn't really do much today except helping my sis to pack for London and nua-ing. A lot. My sister's housemates are really nice.
My sister's bed is so soft and sinky!! As in sinkable. Couldn't resist falling to the bed after breakfast. Couldn't miss the rare sunny day so I went down to town for a walk well just to scan the perimeter It was refreshing:D God made the sky so blue! Durham cathedral!! I really love the scenery here! Puts you in a appreciative mood I mean flowers didn't used to be in the right places in Singapore but now they all seem so fitting in this serene smoking-chimney kind of scene.. Came back just in time to call my dear boy. I hope you received my msg though. Then after that it was just nua-ing all the way:D
Yawns I'm so tired thank God for the wonderful day! I'll snuggle up to bed now (:

Just received the grouping for practical sessions apparently I could possibly be the only Singaporean there, but it's okay! I CAN THRIVE:D
Hmmm already conceptualising the design for my room + buying totally useless decorative pieces. But it's kinda difficult to keep it to a specific colour scheme when you know you have to bring essential storage things but in garish colours -.-
Oh well, getting there! I thank God it has been a fruitful and efficient packing day!
