a week and more

time for another entry ...

i am way bored out of my mind right now studying land law .... the cases just wouldnt stick into my brain. i dont know how i am going to survive on monday. maybe ill pull an all nighter on sunday who knows.

allow me to just blab a lil about my week .this week has been pretty intense with studying but at the same time my social life was once in its open . as i had a weeks time to spare to study for one subject so i decided to let go a lil .
been spending time at audrey's more cause i really do find the engineering library very comfortable to study in . and not only that theheating hasbeen permanently turned off since spring has arrived but its still soooooo cold . somehow audrey's hall seems warmer. i had the excitting privellege to cook for two of audrey'a housemates . seemed that they both enjoyed it.
Fun Fact : the egg box i bought from tesco and left in audrey's all had double yolks in it ... we were so lucky .... its like we struck gold . heres a picture of our fascination : lol


there was one night staying over at aud's place i think it was monday where we all just let go after exams and well played twister ... unfortunately i had a cold then so i couldnt really bend upside down wouldnt want my flu to be running everywhere . but it was hillarious to see them battling out each other . laura and gary were exceptionally funny . plus there were many a times that gary did try to hit on aud .... could definitely see that he likes her ... hopefully he does make amore significant move to get her attention . shes a stubborn bull who would only go out with a guy if shes been asked .

well from tuesday to wednesday i had pure luxury of staying in town with one of my friends . she has a posh apartment next to the capitol which was freaking awesome. it was just like staying in a hotel . i felt so pampered . she seriously has loads to splash. i really did make full use of her sky tv. watched loads of tv programmes .and well had the privellege of studying on a sofa which was absolutely comfortable. i got to eat nasi lemak with sambal too which she cooked. really did feel at home there and was very refreshed the next day .

wednesday rolled round , woke up and left illy's house at 11 cause needed to head to sainsburys and by pure luck, fate or whatever you called it , i met my dear olly , who previous night text me to asked me to go for a gig with him that night. there was a lil misunderstanding on being to lovey dovey in our text,wouldnt blame him to think that way , i can be pretty flirtatious. felt a jolt of excitement leaped in me when i saw him . it really made my day. it was funny that he was shopping for ingrediants to make spaghetti bolognese, didnt really know what to get so i guided him along the way.

had lunch at Xiu mei's house with martina . i decided to try out the bbq, curry powder recipe for the chicken ( thanks div , i still remember the recipe you gave ) . it was delicious . we had a salad and baked potaotes on the side ... yummy ..... it was then down to solid work and doing my laundry at the same time. went out to dinner with Dr Corrie at Tenkaichi seeing as she hasnt tried japanese before ... so i introduced her to the food . she loved it, and the conversations we had were great. in a way yes you could say shes is sort of like my surrogated grandmother in cardiff and i am honoured to have one who is her.

not too long then 10 rolled round which i then walked to olly's to walk to town . the gig was aparently held at rococos . i had a malibu and olly had two carlings. i shared some of olly's carling as well .the gig turned out to be great. the band was called bluegrass and had two members.one played the double bass and the other was a guitarist who occasionally tapped on the base drum. they played the 1930s american music which was great. a few to name was dont know why by norah jones, the bare-necessities in the disney movie the jungle book, some old welsh song for rugby, johnny cash songs . i totally enjoyed myself and olly's company .

thursday i had lunch with louisa hocking at the pot up crwys road. this cafe is really small but yet they served such authentic food and shakes . well worth the prices too ! we were both trying to get to know each other better since we have been postponing it since before easter . but it was great having to get to know more about her life and she'll still be in cardiff next year .... yay ! means i can spend more time with her .....

yesterday pretty much had a study day at home ... with andre taking me out to dinner at an indian restaurant down city road. ended up sitting in the exact same table the last time i went there with andrew . but yeah andre and i went into complaining modes since we both love doing that when we talk to each other . we let it all out since neither of us would judge each other . andre is someone whom i could dish out all the dirts and he would hear me out and i do the same for him. afterwards i decided i needed to get out so i went over to his place and he had two other friends over lynn and ariff for a study group ... which was pretty distracting but oh well it was good fun hanging out with them. you wouldnt guess where i ended up ... i ended up sleeping next door in hannah's flat which she willingly made a bed on the floor for me . it was good for me to spend time with her seeing as we havent been catching up much . somehow i still feel a slight jealousy for her though and her current bf . ( they started the same time i did but are still going strong whereas mine isnt ) this is a personal battle that i have been trying to push away to not let it get in the way of our friendship . i am trying but its difficult.

and here i am on a saturday writting down what the past week has been . oooo almost forgot, slight opening up session with my housemate gaz as he was telling me about his worries for his course , and what to do next . i would say that was great seeing that i was more needed and he wouldnt push me away to depend on his own feet .

guess thats all i have to say for now ... a bit panicky for my land law exam on monday ... pray hard and wish me luck !
