| greetings from southampton/london! |
Greetings from Southampton!
I am currently in a senior's bunk right now, using his internet while he is somewhere out there having a post exam party with the rest of the Southampton Sing-soc people. Zhiyong is lying on our senior's bed, making himself at home. We are both gonna camp here for the next two nights, and we'll see if we decide to go to their party later.
As you can see, we have left the other 4 people at London!
I've been in London for the past 3 days already, and London is so cool. I've always loved London, and being there again after 4 years just made it all the more special. Its like a homecoming really, feels like home to be in London. Been playing guide to my travel mates as well, went to visit museums and famous landmarks and stuff. Also met up with my cousin Astee who is studying in Imperial there. Its so nice to meet family in a foreign land, really warms up your heart.
But anyway, I love London so really, I'm quite high that I'm here already.
Oh also went to Cambridge yesterday. Its really like a mirror of my trip 4 years ago, where I also visited Cambridge then because I was interested in applying there.
And its weird to go back there and realise that getting a place there was really the motivation that pushed me to work so hard in my secondary and JC school days. And now, wow, I'm in NUS. All because I suddenly had a calling in my JC days to be a doctor.
If I hadn't had that calling, I'll probably be applying to study either economics or biology or vet med there already. And hoping that I get in.
Its kinda bittersweet really. I don't really know how to describe it. Its like a desire to let it all go coupled with a desire to want to hold on to what had been my motivation to do well then.
And anyway, I bought a Cambridge sweatshirt. I wanted to buy one 4 years ago when I was there, but told my mom that I will only get it when I get a place there. And now, when its no longer possible (I think) to ever study there, I decided that its time to lay my past demons to rest.
So here goes. Don't stone me if you see me in a Cambridge sweater in S'pore.
My 3 week holiday is fast approaching to an end! Quite shocking come to think of it. Its been a hell of a ride. Like a whirlwind really. There were little conflicts here and there, little clashes here and there, but I think we came out of it knowing each other a little better.
I think 3 to 4 weeks if enough a duration for a holiday. So I'm all ready to go home now and slough my ass off for the remainder of our holidays and the next sem, until my next holiday which should be Down Under with the 71 guys... if everything goes according to plan of course.
So yeah.
Can't wait to go home soon! Cheers!Labels: randomness |
