Wow. I meant to put this up waaay long ago but for some reason or other, kept putting it off. One could say that I had important things to do, but one could also argue that I was just being a bum. In any case, I now have more to say perhaps?
Well, in picture form, over the past few weeks, I have: Eaten at the "famous" Christ Church dining hall of harry potter fame. Verdict? Extremely overrated. I mean, rice krispie treats as dessert? Even my hall can do better than that.
 Gone to london *again* but thankfully had Nancy for company. Had wagamama's for dinner - much better food than Christ Church, but still, the wasabi chocolate fudge did not differ too much from a 'normal' chocolate fudge. Oh why oh why..
 Volunteered at the Botanic Gardens - taught kids how to make flowers out of paper and egg cartons. Twas fun!
 Visited Jiing in Amsterdam (and fallen off a swing thing) - and since then she has kindly given me the grace of her presence in Oxford :)
 Gone to the beach at Brighton - pebbly beach + impromptu nap = ouchies.
 Gone rowboating with kor (thats him behind me!) and Kon Yew - lesson learnt: let the guys do it. Its tiring.
 Visited poland with Sarah, Amy, Tim and Jamin - is not the town square of Wroclaw lovely? The food was really good too - after you've seen British prices, you'll appreciate anything that is decent and lower in price.
 Paid 12 quid to get onto the london eye with the girls, which was quite a good end to our day out in London, where I dragged them around to see accommodation sites and Nancy took us to a mega comic bookshop.
 Went punting, where I managed to spectacularly fall into the river. Details upon request.
 Attend the last Peter's bop. Theme: best of bops. My dress code? Can't be bothered. Only there because I was threatened with excommunication by Torbs.
 Went to Brussels and Amsterdam with Meghan, lived with her extremely hospitable extended family and learnt lots of family lore. Her grandpa once managed to skewer himself with a fondue stick. Needless to say, the family has not had fondue since.
And other things not pictured- new career in crisis (i.e. others' exams) management, baking cookies, taking short walks with the moose and learning about all sorts of psychological disorders. This week's is schizophrenia, and soon I get to move on to SAD. God's been so patient - there have been times when I did everything except spend time with Him, yet He was there when I needed Him. And to think this is almighty God - the God who made the universe and knows how many hairs there are on my head - goodness. |
