Somemore happiness

Prof Lee and Chengwei Lee - Don't be deceived by his fatherly looks. This prof tells us where to shop, poses for silly shots if we tell him to, listens to S.H.E., drinks beer, brings us KTV...omg, I walked up to the wrong level one day, knocked on his door thinking it was mine and said, 'HEY BABE!' when he opened the door (that's what I call Serene)
Lynn! - This year 3 senior in our group whom Serene and I absolutely love! She's like the big sister to all of us, waking Visha her roommate up every morning (or so I heard), knocking on our doors the morning after clubbing to check if we woke up, super duper obliging and patient, easy to talk to... my (twice) jogging partner around campus, and we took this picture because we thought it looked so happy with all the bright chairs! Think Serene and I spread out photowhore-ism and shopping madness to her! Oh, and I keep telling Lynn she's a closet commie because she bought Mao caps, Mao Poker cards, Mao Shirt and couldn't stop flipping and buying Mao posters!

Serene and I being disturbingly gleeful at the Ming Tombs...wheee! Darren - This is Ray's roommate! Quiet quiet boy whom I love to bully and tease...he doesn't like being photographed, so we make him help us take photos so much that he suffers from a new photographer occupational hazard - we just have to pause while walking and turn to face him and his hand automatically stretches out for us to hang our (numerous) cameras onto it! (I hope he doesn't have photo nightmares now that he's back.) Anw, shopping king ray and shopping queen Serene and I spread our disease to him! He barely bought a thing on the first shopping trip, progressively bought more and on the last day, he went off to wu3 dao4 kou3 (when I was already so bored of bargaining that I stayed on campus) to spend off all his money! So proud of him!
Whee again! The epitome of my madness. (almost fell down taking that)
More wheeness on top of the Great wall!
Wei ming hu - otherwise, the very scenic yet-to-be-named lake on the campus itself. (Nus really needs to be beautified) Lynn and I ran round it one fine morning. (Took us 6 minutes when Prof told us it'd take about 30 minutes...)

Now, looking at the last picture, I look really fat in it! =( Time to go on a diet (seriously) to make up for all the oily China food, lose 1 inch around the waist (don't know for what also) and most importantly, to run the half marathon with Fuzzy! There goes the Baileys I bought from Changi Airport...

Today, I woke up and I missed hearing Serene's voice, asking me what she/we should wear... and then I spent the morning reading The Sunday Times with my good old cup of Cafe Nova, had my first healthy Singaporean lunch in two weeks, msn-ed with Visha/Ee Jin while uploading photos and missing them, went for my regular long run round the estate with my favourite music, called QY to catch up and sat down, played the piano, and realized how much I missed sitting there alone, just me, my piano and music - the moment where I can feel like nothing really matters and think through things all at the same time.

While I'm still on the post-Beijing high, everything feels strangely normal. It's nice to be home again.
