when i finally got down to placing a bid for my lesson it was a heavy load off my chest. its just really complex how there are so many factors to consider. Like which classes have the least competition from seniors (who are very rich and can outbid us poors lads), which classes are not too heavy, how much money to bid, how many vacancies left in that class. sigh. and i'm totally dreading class participation, cos since it's a grading criteria there're definitely ppl who'd grab every chance to talk (regardless of importance and whether its meaningful). I shall just hope that there arent too many of such irritants in my class (though i highly doubt so!)

omg...school is starting in 2 wks time!! i know i shouldnt be complaining cos the other schools have officially started today. BUT BUT BUT my brain's still like mush and it cant absorb any thing serious, only trash from tv programmes. and the manual on how to bid for lessons is so mind boggling it's like an econs lesson in itself ("students need to manage their available resources..." "students will need to make their choice by carefully considering the demand and supply of courses..."). i sincerely hope i can successfully meet the course requirement because i still cant figure it out. (would love to hire a personal course-bidder. salary being one bowl of ice kacang a month. any takers?)
ok pictures from UK!
the town we used to live in. it was pretty cold (18 to 20 plus) though it's the summer. but the weather's just nice i think. over our blazing heat anytime.
pretty flowers! every house had pretty gardens
that's my teacher at playgroup! my mum could recognise her but i couldnt haha
we took a roadtrip one of the days, and it was pretty cool cos summer means long daylight hours (cue miss law's globe slanted 23 deg and sun at tropic of cancer) so the sun rises at 5am and sets at 9.30pm. which means we had a lot of time to sightsee. was a bit rainy though. we were lucky to escape the floods, which started the day after we got back!
Oxford (before flood)! ok this building is just some part of Oxford uni, dun even know what college it is but yeah it's just these nice old buildings around (that i really like) and i envy esther and jasmine cos they'll be walking to school with nice views like this in nice cool weather while i'll have to walk to mine in 32 deg heat.
this is a place called Bourton-on-the-Water. It's in this district called Cotswold where the houses are those traditional english cottages. very pretty!
doesnt this look like a house from some xmas card picture?
the city of bath.
and that's the bath (which is a hot spring) that the ppl used to bathe in. there was a cool pool in another section also, like those japanese onsen.
last stop of our roadtrip was stonehenge. was a little disappointed cos i thot it'd be bigger. anyway, if you wanted to get in you'd have to pay so we just cheapskate stand outside the fence and my dad took this picture by holding the camera up haha. but its good enough anyway.
last day in london! finally acted more like tourists and did some sightseeing instead of just shopping.
the royal albert hall
i really <<33 this building. the museum of natural history. i love it cos it's soo pretty and check out the windows. it's like some palace but nooo it's just a museum. and the building is really long by the way.
there're much more pictures but i dun have the camera now. so till then, ta!
