Anyway, I felt like blogging before I go to bed because today has been a good day. Yesterday was a good day too and I just felt like blogging a bit about them.
I'm now seated on my bed because it's more comfortable and my laptop is nearer to the modem outside. The internet in this flat is so slow right now and I'm obviously not happy about it but there's nothing that I can really do about it. So I shall just blog and let time pass.
So, I'll start from Sunday. I came back from my trip to Amsterdam and Belgium on Saturday night. Got back to my room at around midnight or half past twelve. And I woke up early on Sunday (Joon Tian was still at my place coz she had to catch her train in the afternoon) and I did all the stuff you need to do when you come back from a holiday; unpack, do the laundry. I also had to clean the flat because it was my turn this week, Joon Tian left at noon, that's when I went out to get my groceries.
When I got back, I talked to my uncle on the phone for a bit before he complained he couldn't hear me on the line and hung up. After that, I Skype-d my mum for more than an hour. The internet was also slow, so I had to sit on the floor next to the door (how annoying. I seriously should stop complaining and just move out). Then I just spent the rest of the day transferring photos from my phone and camera into my laptop and then start editing them a bit and uploading them but didn't really managed to get much done.
On Monday, Nia and I met up at uni to do some revision. But we both knew it was not going to happen. We spent most of our time just catching up with each other's lives lol. I was totally still in the holiday mood. And I brought my laptop into uni but it couldn't connect to the wifi so I ended up using a computer at uni. I mainly did some admin stuff I needed to do for Team Up. Then Nia and I started discussing about the k-drama, It's Okay It's Love coz Nia just finished watching it. I let her have my hard drive while I was away so she could watch them all in HD. While we were discussing it, I showed her the posts I did on KSTYLEFILE about Ji Hyesoo's outfits and then I realised that I didn't put episode 16 into the hard drive which meant that Nia didn't manage to finish the series! So luckily I had ep 16 on my laptop so we transferred the file over to the uni computer and watched it then and there. LOL. I still love that drama so much. Definitely one of the best I've watched.
Then I shared some chocolates I bought from Belgium with Nia. Well, I say share, but I actually ate most of them and Nia just ate one piece. lol I did give her a bar of chocolate as a gift though. Then I don't know how time past so quick but it was almost 4pm when we decided to go home. Before that, we went to Sainsbury's where we ended up not buying anything. While we came out, some people from the Co-operative were outside uni giving out free goody bags because they opened a new store next to uni. So we made a detour to get one and while walking, Nia was like, "Why don't you just come over to my place to have dinner?" Because we were talking about what we were going to cook for dinner. And I said, "Why not~" So we walked back to her place together~ On the way back, we went to Lidl to get some stuff for dinner.
We ate some of Nia's homemade black sesame ice cream before we started cooking. In the mean time, a colleague of mine called me to ask me to cover two of her Sunday shifts.... And I agreed to do them although I knew I had exams around those dates. I find it so hard to say no to friends sometimes. Anyway, Nia and I then started prepping and cooking dinner~ We had a really simple dinner of fried chicken breast with roasted vege. Her flatmate also joined us for dinner and we watched an episode of Running Man together while eating. We even had some strawberry trifles as dessert~
By the tine we finished watching it, it was past 9pm so I had to leave. Got back to my place around half past 9 coz I chose to walk instead of taking the bus because the night air was so nice and cooling. Better appreciate this nice weather while it lasts.
I'm so happy that the weather is finally getting warmer~ Today the weather was so glorious! The sun was shining and it was so warm; warm to the extent where you can go out with a sleeveless top! It's amazing how the weather changed so drastically within a week.
I woke up early today and continued editing my photos and uploading them. My uncle is quite impatient and wants to see my photos right now but the internet has been constantly acting up and until now, I still haven't been able to finish uploading everything. I ate a banana and cereal with a new chocolate coconut milk that I bought on Sunday (it was on sale). It was the perfect start to a morning, I really want to stop the habit of waking up late so I've done well today, let's hope I keep up the good work. Then I continued doing some stuff till noon when I started getting ready to go out into the sun! I needed to get a new pair of shoes for work coz my old ones are starting to wear out. I wanted to go to the Westfield in White City coz it's much more peaceful than the Stratford one and Oxford St but they didn't have a John Lewis there. So I ended up going to Oxford St~
As usual, it was crowded; everyone was out in shorts and skirts and sleeveless tops~ I wore my cardigan out and it way too warm for the weather. But I wasn't in the mood in walking around, I just wanted to get shoes, get lunch and go home. I went into John Lewis and remembered that I needed a new concealer so I went to the Nars counter to get their Radiant Creamy Concealer. The lady there was so nice and helpful and she helped me pick out the right shade for my skin tone~ Then I went upstairs to the shoe section and had a quick glance around and found two pair of black ballet pumps that I liked and asked for them in my size to try them on. Luckily it wasn't very busy so I didn't need to wait long to be served. After trying both on, I decided on a cute leather pair~ Hopefully they will be comfortable coz I'll be needing to stand in them for many many hours.
After that successful shopping trip, I decided to have Five Guys for lunch! But stupid me, forgot there was a branch on Argyll Street and walked all the way (under the hot sun) to the branch on Long Acre near Leicester Square. But on my way there, I walked past Leicester Square and there was the queue for the free Ben & Jerry's event! So I immediately joined the queue! LOL I thought it was just nice to have an ice-cream in the hot weather! I was in line for almost half an hour I think before I got my scoop of Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream~ Then I continued walking towards Five Guys for my burger! I was so hungry because I didn't have lunch but I decided to take the burger and fries home for dinner instead because it was alr almost 4pm when I bought it. It was my first time in Five Guys and I have been wanting to try their burgers for ages!
I got back to my room and continued to upload my photos while catching up on some Youtube videos that I have missed while I was on holiday. I ate some grapes while doing that coz I was way toooo hungry and I didn't want to have my burger till a bit later. I ended up having the burger at 7pm~ I went for the medium hamburger (with my choice of toppings) and a side of cajun fries. And they were delicious. The cajun fries were so nice and they would've been even better if I had them hot. The burger was good but nothing exceptional about it. I would probably go for their little burger next time with fries, coz the medium burger really filled me up. But coz I have a big appetite, I was able to finish it without any problem but I probably shouldn't be eating that much lol. Overall, because I was starving by the time I ate it, it was delicious~
From then till now, all I've done were just uploading more photos, editing more photos and watching youtube videos. How productive. lol. But coz the internet is being annoying, it's taking forever to get them uploaded onto Google plus so that my mum and uncle can see them. I really hope that by tmr, I can get them all uploaded so that I can fully focus on my revision. But then I'll probably start uploading them to my blog and start blogging about my trip lol.
But yeah.... I mainly wanted to blog tonight because today has been a good day~ I woke up early, ate a good breakfast, soaked in a lot a vitamin D, got new shoes and new concealer (yay!), got a free scoop of ice-cream and indulged in a delicious dinner. How I wish everyday can be like this~ Except with better internet!
The internet seems to have improved now, so I'm going to try to upload as many photos as I can before I fall asleep. Tmr will be my first day back to work after having one week off and tmr I will need to seriously start my revision before it's too late.
Back to reality now.
