Well, it has certainly been a long time since I even touched this blog, quite a few of you might even accuse me of abandoning it. Well, never fear, because I'm back, and with quite a bit of news too! XD
I suppose that some of you here might have noticed the change in my writing style, or at least the tone and emotion of my post. It certainly is a lot lighter than my previous ones, don't you think?
I'm having quite a good time in Nottingham, and I certainly don't regret studying here, because I've met quite a few friends and while there's not a lot of eye-candy, there's some that I wouldn't mind looking at. Of course, non of the guys here have managed to capture my interest or my heart for that matter, so your Ice Princess is still in her indestructible palace.
On another note, I guess I've grown a lot more confident now, though I still retract into my shell at times, but all in all I'm a lot more outgoing, and I'm doing quite well in classes. It's so surprising that the lecturers here have clearer voices compared to secondary school even though the room is way bigger and there're many more students. I've no problem keeping up with the lectures at all even with my hearing problem, so I should be able to do well, though I still need to find the drive to actually start studying.
Ice Breaking Night was quite fun, and my team managed to get 3rd place overall. If you're on my Facebook list of friends, you might have noticed 2 pictures-- one of me bizarrely wrapped in toilet paper, and another of me in the bathroom. I didn't have to run through the fountain, thank God, but the toilet paper bride was the price I paid for it.
For those of you who know me to be a spoilt princess who can't do housework to save my life, I have to say that you're really wrong. Why? Because I'm hand washing all my clothes, I clean my own room, I sweep and mop my own floor too! Hmph! I deserve a medal for this! Lol, but even so, my hands are surprisingly still as soft and smooth as they were when I didn't do any housework, but that's probably because I've been using some rather expensive lotions after I do housework.
On another note, my skin condition doesn't seem to be improving. While my blackheads are slowly going away, I seem to have a weird outbreak of sorts. Nothing major, but it seems that pimples are coming out more often on my T-zone, but it's one at a time, so it's controllable.
I seemed to have lost some weight, which is good, and 2 of my guy friends have been trying to reassure me that my figure is fine, and that I didn't need to lose anymore. In fact, I received some rather positive feedback when I wore a sleeveless racer back t-shirt that my mother bought for Charlotte when she was 9, which makes the shirt 7 years old, but she has never it before, so did I, until today that is.
Still, I need to work on my thighs, since they're still rather flabby, but my skin colour is starting to turn white again, which will probably prompt Charlotte to call me a vampire, as usual. Even so, isn't that a good thing? After all, my previous skin colour was something many girls envied and wanted, but they never quite got to the same colour, especially when my skin practically glowed an reflect light in the sun.
I also tried to pick up tennis, but I don't seem to have an aptitude for the sport, especially when I accidentally hit my instructor with the tennis ball. Truth be told, I wasn't even aiming when I hit it, I was concentrating more on trying to hit it (I'm so so sorry, Tishaan! XD). I also forgot to bring my swimsuit with me, so I've not been able to try out the pool at all, even though I love swimming. I also sit 20 sets of sit ups yesterday while at the gym, which caused my stomach muscles to stage a royal riot this morning when I woke up.
What more, because Sandra was staying over, I practically rolled out of bed because I couldn't sit up at all. It was worse when I took an evening nap, because by then fatigue fully set it, which caused me to be unable to sit up or roll over at all! In the end, my bathroom mate, Jolene, had to pull me up and out of bed. *Pout* By the way, I slept at 4.30 a.m. because I was too busy having a major chatting session with Jolene and Sandra to notice the time. at the same time, I was also chatting with Edmen and Helmi, so one could say that I was multi-tasking.
Even with quite a few things going my way, there's one minor setback that I find particularly irritating now. I'm having problems with academic writing, and it's in English too. Well, I guess it's not too much of a surprise since my writing style has aways been towards creative writing. Then again, English is not my best subject for nothing, and I swear I will conquer it like I always do, quote Julius Caesar, "I came, I saw, I conquered", unquote.
All in all, I'm not really sure what else to say, since this is just about what I can remember from my days here.
