Woman in White
GO AND SEE IT!!!!!!!
Even though the singing wasn't top top notch, it's nevertheless a very intense and power show. the actors really believe in their roles. As soon as they set foot on the stage you can really feel them, not as an actor, but as a genuine character.
The stage design was very modern, you can see they have put a lot of effort into rounding it into an acoustically and visually stunning musical.

Rainforest Cafe
It's my dearest zoology mate Ellen's birthday today :D:D:D
Went to Rainforest Cafe (very appropriate consider the zoology background =P not that we actually had anything to do with ANIMALS when we studied part II ^_^;;)and ate lunch with the zebras and baboons and parrots. Our conversation promptly interrupted by the thundering monsoon rain. It's all very exciting.
anywayz, really just a blog to say:
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLEN!! ^o^

No Offence to Singaporeans
This was an assignment for a student who is taking English as a second
language. Keep this in mind when reading this one. Lim Ah Toy, a Singaporean
student, was asked to make a sentence using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and
10. Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again from 10 back to 1. This
is what he came up with.
"1 day I go 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep. But couple saw me, so I
panic and 4 down. The man rush out and want to 5 with me. I run until I feel
6 and throw up. I go to 7 eleven and grab some 8 to throw at him. Then I
took a 9 and try to stab him. 10 God he run away. So, I put the 9 back and
pay for the 8 and left 7 eleven. Next day, I call my boss and say I am 6. He
said 5, tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also ask me to climb a
3 and jump down. I don't understand, I so nice 2 him but I don't know what
he 1. THE END."
and Lim Ah Toy graduated from his ESL class with honor.

Random (but interesting) Finding
The weather is so unpredictable these days. Today I fell into the trap of believing today would be a wonderful day by the morning deceitful sun shining through my bedroom window.
Therefore my friend and I travelled through parts of London pretending to be tourists (again). Being stupid I wore stilettos going to the london tower, where i nearly died straining my ankle trying to get through the cobbly streets by manuvring my feet at all 10 different angles.
Anyway, so here's what i have to offer. A picture showing the different phone box designs found in a red telephone box, which itself did not posess a phone. Strange or what.

Road Trip!
It was so fun~~and a lot of thanks towards Rach the accomodation provider and Car for driving us wherever we want to go ^o^ It was great getting out of london and just temporarily forget one's worries~
Leeds-Corn Exchange: It's quite an interesting student building, selling an assortement of weird and wonderful arty crafts. Cute knitted hats, coins with areas sawed out inside as necklaces, scrabble bracelets, innovatie clocks. You name it.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park: It's an interesting place. And I saw a really cute black labrador puppy being tied to the fence at the entrance (highlight of the day). Got a bit of artistic insanity driven into us by the end. The pictures that were taken later became much more expressive and somewhat psychodelic. Haha, it's not THAT bad really :p
Lake District: It's so pretty~~and we also managed to visit the little town of Keswick. There lies a motor museum where all the famous vehicles rest (Mr Bean's mini, Chitty bang bang, Batmobile etc). If we had time i would like to look at the pencil museum, wonder what that's about...
