uk! i think it's cool (no pun intended) to stay in europe. it's like an hour to fly from germany to france, 2 hours to fly to uk. basically you can take quick happy holidays to many many different places. to fly around asia is not quick.

here's the car we rented... you can't tell from the picture, but it's maroon. it managed to fit all our bags! haha and i do realise i dress the same almost everyday but it's cos my winter wadrobe is practically negligible. oh and i'm so happy with my hat! my ears never froze once.... except now i'm thinking i should get a few more in different colours.

tuan2 yuan2 fan4 was just chinese takeaway. not very nice but the most important thing is to be with your family! i think this is the first cny my older sister has had with us in 4 years. heh on cny day we all woke up and started running around and singing "dong dong dong chiang, dong dong dong chiang"! didn't go down to chinatown cos apparently it gets really really crowded.

we drove to see stonehenge! which is well... a bunch of stones. heehee i can imagine like some heavenly 'aaaaah' music accompanying this picture.

with my big sister, for whom all of us sacrificed a long ski holiday for.

listening to audio guides at the stones. if only i'd got my dad in the shot proper. that would have been really funny!
one more picture of the mystical stones! i told my grandma they are shen2 qi2 shi2 tou. this one i can imagine an alien "ooh-wee-ooh" tune.... my dad's photo skills are pro...

my muse in the apartment block carpark.... frankly i don't see the need for this sign since the area we stay in is really posh and only old retirees can afford to stay here.

haha we also went to regents park. i think we go every trip. but that's cos it's just across the road from the apartment and my mummy loves parks! check out the softball fields across the park. if i study in london i'm going to set up a team! haha!

met my big sister's friend at this fancy restaurant in trendy chelsea! but it was actually really affordable.

the interview was alright... met a lot of different people! there were 4 other singaporeans there. ru-ik was the only one i knew. i never knew he was malaysian. then a j4 rj guy who knows me but i dunno him. an nj guy who reminds me a lot of the guy-who-skoa-does-a-good-spoof-walk-of. and a spore uwc guy who also got an offer for cam med! cool! also talked to a very nice northern irish girl, a very very sweet and chio girl from kenya and a guy from belgium. but i didn't really have anything to say to him so i felt a bit bad. heh actually i really like going to such interviews cos you get to meet a lot of different ppl.

then i met my dad and we walked around westminster etc etc. it felt a lot colder than germany!
before we left, we did a chinese takeaway for dinner and there was a lion dance in the restaurant. and guess what? the entire troop was angmoh! fantastic! haha my dad was so amused he took a photo. i would have expected at least one chinese lion dancer or a chinese shi fu or something. but no! a complete angmoh troop!

i went home on my own cos my sis and mum left the day before and my dad flew sq on the same night. i took qf. pleasant surprise! the j4 guy was on the same flight so i talked to him quite a bit in the waiting lounge. haha his dad asked if i wanted to swap seats so we could talk on the flight back but...no! taking long flights with ppl you sort of know is not good cos they see you in the most minging state! bad hair, possible bad breath, chapped lips, horrid sleeping positions etc. haha so i sat next to this brit girl who smelt like the cupcake dolls. dunno whether anyone else ever played with them before. on the entire trip she only peed once! on my other side at the aisle was a bloody tall australian guy. when he sat down, his knees touched the seat in front. i felt really bad cos everytime i needed to pee he would have to unfold himself and climb out of his seat. he was reading fhm and kept trying to cover it from me. i dunno why also. haha but thankfully neither of them had lolling heads and drool. yup so that's it!
