had a really good weekend again with no work done!

fri was a crummy day because it was raining! dissection in the afternoon was quite sian cos it was pretty much stuff we'd done before. and our demonstrator was horrid. she didn't know anything. like she'd avoid answering our questions or answer with another question -_- but i was still quite happy (maybe cos the weekend was coming) and like everyone seemed to be really friendly that day. i don't know why. we'd just wander around tables and ppl would happily show us all the structures they'd identified and then we'd continue talking about random things. got out of the dissection room and it was POURING. luckily i had my splash top (worth every penny) on and it kept me and my handouts dry. but my hair and my shoes were completely soaked. had a really nice hot shower and hot cup of honey. then tom came over to pass me his spangly gold shirt! hahaha it is such a hideous shirt. and he was so nice to run through the rain to bring it to me :D heh actually cos he wanted to see the legendary dokett b rooms! haha he is really one of the funniest people i know! almost missed our train to london that night! but had the most splendid dinner at four seasons. omg. i was sooooo happy. we had roast duck and char siew and siew yoke and aubergine and ma po tou fu and calamari (like that yummy one at crystal jade) and chinese green vegetables. seriously the british have no idea what vegetables really are! yup it was a super duper dinner! i even out-ate all the boys at the table! wasn't quite full enough after that though... :S then went to laura's room and just chilled out for the rest of the night (and morning) having girly chat! yayyy!

sat met cheryl and the 3 of us just went shoppingggg!! the weather was so nice... warm enough to just wear a long sleeved top! returned my h&m skirt which was looking uglier and uglier each time i looked at it so i was 15quid richer! but then spent it all and more. 2 tops, a pair of shoes, a scarf, 2 pairs of tights. had wanton mee in chinatown and bought egg tarts!! haha now looking back i think maybe i should not have bought anything at all cos sales are coming and things in spore are wayyy cheaper. i think. heh but yeah i had a really fun time with both of them anyway :D :D :D :D i was actually quite sad when i was leaving. i miss my singaporean friends!!!! got back really late and felt slightly depressed. good weekends always make me feel depressed.

next day had to get up early for emma sprints!! my boat's race was only at about 1 but the 3rd boat's bow was injured so i had to sub for their race at 10. twice the agony. hardcore!! 3rd boat dressed up as penguins so i got a penguin mask and a big white belly. we lost both our races. felt quite crummy rowing with them and suddenly felt very thankful for my crew. rushed back and immediately had to head out with my boat. we were a rainbow!!don't think you can see me right at the end - pot of gold. our cox (the person who essentially controls the whole boat) was a leprechaun and she was doing her best irish accent.. it was hilarious! we'd have like rousing choruses of "i'm a leprechaun and i'm ok" all with that quaint irish twang. and she'd keep going: where's my pot of gold!? and i'd have to wave my arms around madly! haha we were all laughing so hard it was so much funnn!!bow pair! charlotte our 2 and me at bow. was that gold shirt embarrassing or what? haha she's wearing our very cool splash top! nice right??? heh in case you were wondering, her violet top was under the splash top. it was cold waiting in the shade.... but at least it was sunny. might even have got a tan! haha our 2nd boat won our first race, the other boat basically crashed into the bank immediately after: ATTENTION, GO! love race starts! but i was really dying halfway through the race. i am so unfit. like our cox would call for a power10 and i would just think: i can't even move my fricking legs anymore!!!! :( we lost our second race so couldn't advance. we were leading at the start (we have really good race starts! haha) but then couldn't keep it up and got beaten. damn it. oh well, but we had a really good time as a boat i think. and the row home was so nice. heh i might upload the video onto youtube and show you all... but it's my friend's video so have to see first. got back at 430 x_x (almost 9-5 day!!! seriously hardcore) and just slept.

watched casino royale at night which was actually really good considering i hate james bond and daniel craig is ugly and has a bad body. but yeah it was a pretty good film!

today richard finally showed me who the borat guy was. haha cos i kept bugging him to tell me. haha he was trying to tell me the borat guy was some archibald dunno-who from trinity. but now i know! haha seriously crazy people! and erg training today that was really good. george our coach today knows how to push people. and in a way that we don't collapse at the end of training. i survived 20min!!!! yayyyyyy and now have to get ready for dinner with the dean. free food! haha that's all i can think of after spending in london.

rowing on the cam.... ayeeee i'm really so glad i've taken it up. it's quite crazy but impossibly cool! like i can totally understand how people can go completely mental about it!
