I had a dream about you;

Remember this: NEVER, EVER wear brand new heels that haven't been worn in when going clubbing.

I did exactly that, and now I have 4 huge blisters to show for a crazy night of fun. 2 of them were so bad they actually burst and were bleeding when I got back. :(

Monday was Newark's after exam party. There was a karaoke thing in Newark's hall bar, where if you sang with your friends, you could get free tickets to Oceana, which is one of the best clubs in Nottingham. So my friends and I decided to give it a go.

Ryan singing Queen's "We are the Champions".

That's the only photo I got, cos everyone else didn't wanna take pictures. :(

Anyways, as it turned out, there were only limited tickets to Oceana, so only a couple of us got tickets. So we decided to ditch Oceana and hit another club.

At first, everyone wanted to go to Geisha and so we all piled into the taxis and went to Lace Market (that's where all the clubs are), where we promptly discovered that everywhere was closed! We had to troop all the way back to Broadmarsh, and decided to go to Ocean. Great place to party. I love the huge dancefloor!

Everyone congregating on the street, trying to decide where to go.

Thai girl Oh and me, as we made our way to Ocean.

Random shot in the middle of the street.

(From left to right: Khalib from Oman, some guy I don't know, Rik from Manchester, Jokha from Oman, Sanah from Kashmir, Oh, Sophia from Hong Kong and some guy I don't know. Think his name's Alan.)

Me and Sanah.

Oh and Woody.

After we got in to Ocean, everything went crazy! It was packed so we kept losing people. Haha!

Khalib, Oh, Rukshan and some guy.

On the dancefloor.

The view from the second floor. Look at the masses of people!

Woody and Jon.

Sanah, me and Oh.

Oh and moi.

Me and Jon.

Tsolmon and her friend.

Subha, me and Rukshan.

King of the world!

Tsolmon, Ryan, Rik and me.

The guys.

Crazy people. :)

This just looks wrong on so many levels.

As does this.

Look at us, not the couple making out at the back.

Rrright.

Subha and Rukshan.

Man, Rik looks so drunk!

Rukshan. Gone already.

Ryan doing the Melbourne Shuffle. LOL.

Back at Newark, we all congregated in the foyer. I think we made ALOT of noise. Oopsie!

Ryan and Chillo.

Lectures have started this week, but there's nothing much yet. Only the first week, so things are still pretty slow. I'm taking it slow this week too. Just lazing around. I think I deserve a break after the exams yeah? Hahaha!

Anyways, I'm sleepy now, so tata!

Back from Birmingham!

Boy, am I exhausted! Sigh. But yet here I am, writing this post faithfully. :)

Pictures of today's trip. Only a few, cos once we started shopping, my camera was all forgotten.

The train ride there, we were all a little nuts. I think it's the post-exam stress. :) We were like the noisiest bunch in our carriage. Haha.

William. (His leather jacket is so nice!)

Me and Sophy. We were so tired, we slept the whole way from Leicester to Birmingham.

Willliam and Woody.

After that, went for lunch at this Chinese buffet restaurant. It was pretty good, only 5 pounds per person. Much cheaper than in Nottingham. After that we went towards the Bullring Shopping Centre. There was this really beautiful church as we walked down the slope, so I snapped a few pictures of it.

There was this weird looking structure (which is an extention of the shopping centre) next to the church which reminded me of Singapore's Esplanade, except that our durian-shaped architecture looks more aesthetically pleasant than this building.

I bought a cropped pants from Topshop, which was on sale. Got it for a freakin' steal! Only 5 pounds! Also bought black cropped leggings from Topshop as well. Ooh, and I bought a huge box of KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS from Selfridges!!! I love Krispy Kreme dougnuts! Yummy! Well, all in all, today was a pretty good trip.

The only sour note was at the end of the day. My friend and her boyfriend started fighting, as we made our way back to the train station, over the most silly thing ever. Doughnuts. Apparently someone forgot to buy a box for the other person, and God knows how, but a huge argument ensued. So stupid. This is one of the few reasons why I'm glad I'm single. I wouldn't stand that kinda shit from my boyfriend.

The train back to Nottingham was freakin' full, so we had to stand for almost one whole hour before we changed to another carriage and got seats there, where we then promptly fell asleep.

So, yeah, that's my day! And I'm so tired and my muscles are all aching, so I'm gonna say goodnight and more tomorrow! :)

Today's post is gonna be all about my favourite topic.

FASHION!!!

Shopping, clothes, shoes (especially shoes), bags, jewellery, u name it!

Pictures of my very successful (and guilt-ridden!) shopping trip out on the town with Eline today!

A wooden necklace I got for free from buying a magazine. (Hehe. I'm a cheapskate.)

MY MANGO BAG!!! (Isn't it gorgeous? Sigh.) (I know I said pictures from today, but this is a special one. Haha.)

Red sparkly pumps from Zara! (I've been searching high and low for shoes exactly like these and today I FOUND THEM! And for half-price, no less!)

Light blue velour jacket. (70% sale! A-woo-hoo!)

Silky formal dress from Jane Norman. (So nice right? It's gonna be for my Spring formal.)\

Black satin peep-toe chunky heels from Primark. (Another pair of shoes I had been lusting after for ages!)

Oh man, I feel all the exam stress from the past 3 weeks just sliding away from me. Unfortunately, that means my debit card is still smoking away in my purse.

But then look at the shoes! I mean, can u imagine how absolutely amazing and gratifying it is to find 2 PAIRS of shoes that u've always wanted in the SAME DAY?! Like the red pumps? I've been searching for those ever since I saw a clip of What I Like About You (it's an American sitcom, starring Amanda Bynes, Allison Munn and Jennie Garth.), in which Amanda Bynes was wearing this pair of cute sparkly red pumps. And the black heels? I've been searching for those since I first saw (I saw it twice in the cinema.) The Devil Wears Prada (Seriously, if u don't know this movie, u must have been living under a rock.) when I went back to dear ol' Singapore (54 days more, by the way!) in August, and near the ending, in Paris, when Andy Saks (Anne Hathaway) was dressed in that green dress and black cape and those black chunky heels. Ok, those I bought were peep-toe, but it was close enough, since they have chunky heels. And they were only 6 pounds! Compared to Topshop's exact same pair at the unbelievable price of 25 pounds, it was a freakin' steal!

That dress was a little pricey, but compared to it's original price (65 pounds), I think it was pretty worth it. And it's a little over the top, but heck. I thought it looks very Paris Hilton.

Sorry, I had to take a photo of the magazine where I saw the picture of Paris. Couldn't find the picture on the Internet, so this was the next best thing. Sorry.

After shopping today, we went to have dinner at Siam Thai, the same Thai restaurant we went to the last time. Had a set meal of green chicken curry, sweet and sour pork and fried salmon with chilli sauce. Man, it was bloody cold when we left. Wind was blowing like crazy and both of us were literally shivering as we made our way to the bus stop.

So all in all, it was a BLOODY GREAT DAY!!! Going to Birmingham early tomorrow morning with the gang, so I better go get ready for bed now.

Ooh, Oceana on Monday! Can't wait!

YES!

FINALLY THE DREADED EXAMS ARE OVER!!!

Man, I feel like a burden has been lifted off me. Feels so good to just sit and relax and not have to worry about the exams.

Unfortunately, now a new worry has formed. 7 scary letters.

R-E-S-U-L-T-S.

School starts next week. I just saw my timetable. I have class everyday. Ugh.

Going shopping tomorrow. Yay! And then on Sunday, I'm gonna go to Birmingham with my friends. If it were USA, I would say "Road trip!", but unfortunately, instead of sunny California (or Los Angeles or Miami) or the Big Apple, I'm here in dreary, wet, rainy, disgusting Nottingham, UK. Bah.

I'm gonna go watch a movie now. Tata!

Did I disappoint you, or let you down?

Should I be feeling guilty, or let the judges frown?

'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun

Yes, I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won

So I took what's mine by eternal right

Took your soul out into the night

It may be over, but it won't stop there

I am here for you, if you'd only care

You touched my heart

You touched my soul

You changed my life and all my goals

And love is blind and that I knew when

My heart was blinded by you

I've kissed your lips and held your head

Shared your dreams and shared your bed

I know you well

I know your smell

I've been addicted to you

Goodbye my lover

Goodbye my friend

You have been the one

You have been the one for me

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

I am a dreamer but when I wake

You can't break my spirit

It's my dreams you take

And as you move on, remember me

Remember us and all we used to be

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile

I've watched you sleeping for a while

I'd be the father of your child

I'd spend a lifetime with you

I know your fears and you know mine

We've had our doubts but now we're fine

And I love you, I swear that's true

I cannot live without you

Goodbye my lover

Goodbye my friend

You have been the one

You have been the one for me

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

And I still hold your hand in mine

In mine when I'm asleep

And I will bear my soul in time

When I'm kneeling at your feet

Goodbye my lover

Goodbye my friend

You have been the one

You have been the one for me

Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me

I'm so hollow, baby

I'm so hollow

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow

I'm so hollow, baby
I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow

-James Blunt-

The lyrics to this song are just so beautiful, u can't help but to tear up a little. I know, so dramatic right? But it's true. I love this song. I know it's a pretty old song (I'm not very up to date with the music scene back home. I just hear songs from various TV shows or movies and if I like them, then I'll download them.), but who cares?

Anyways, Give it a listen on the music thingie I've put up.

It's such a haunting song. Gives me the chills (not scary ones, pleasant ones) whenever I listen to it. I love the piano in it. So beautiful. And the lyrics, gosh. Wow. I wish I could have a relationship that speaks of such passion and intensity. (If u watch the music video for this song, u'll understand. It has Mischa Barton in it, so if the song doesn't speak to u (which u have to be some kind of stone to not feel anything when u hear this song), watch it for the steamy action between the hot and sexy Mischa and some guy.) Here I am, almost 19, and I've never even had a serious boyfriend, much less a serious relationship of that kind of caliber.

Here I go again. But then can u blame me? Left and right, all my single friends are coupling up, falling in love one after the other. And I'm left bloody hell ALONE.

God must hate me. (Cue Simple Plan's "God Must Hate Me".)

Ok, enough crap. Last paper tomorrow. So I just have to push through for another couple hours and after 11am tomorrow, it's PARTY-TIME!!!

And if I don't go shopping after my exam tomorrow, and I'm in a pleasant mood, I may just upload long forgotten (and awaited maybe?) photos. :)

Ugh. All the beautiful white snow has melted and today wasn't cold enough for the dreary rain to become snow.

Last night was fun. With the warm yellow light of the streetlamps shining off the white surface, people running around screaming and laughing, flurries of snow falling down, it gave a really surreal, ethereal feeling. And I think if that had actually happened on Christmas, it would've been the best thing ever.

U ever notice how in movies where the time the story's set in is Christmas time, it starts to snow at exactly the instant the countdown to Christmas Day (meaning midnight on Christmas Eve) ends? Or when a family that couldn't see eye to eye at first talks and sorts out their problems and the minute everyone's happy and understanding of each other, suddenly some random kid (usually not one of the key roles) runs to the window and says, "Look it's snowing!" and then everyone rushes to the window and oohs and aahs. Or when someone just realised that they love someone after they both had a huge fight and he/she runs after the other to proclaim their everlasting love for them and it starts snowing as they kiss. Or like in those movies where someone's trying desperately to come home for Christmas Day to be with their family and go through absolute mayhem just to get home, when they reach home and hug their family, a split second after they say "Merry Christmas, so-and-so. I love u.", snow comes down like magic.

See how I've written so much on absolute crap? It's a fucking gift, I tell u. Haha.

Watched CSI just now. One of my favourite shows. The writers are damn talented. I mean, the amount of ways they can think of to kill someone. And sometimes the way they kill a character is so amazingly simple, but we, as usual TV watchers, always think, "Nah, can't be so easy.", and concoct some innane, twisty-turny plot in our minds.

Anyways, the episode I watched was about this girl, a daughter of a casino owner. The usual rich girl, trying to get attention cos her dad's always too busy to care. So she fakes her own kidnapping, getting into the trunk of her car and tying herself up, stuffing a scarve down her throat, hoping that her father would come to her rescue. But her father, tired of her pranks, thinks it's one of her usual attention-seeking jokes, and ignores her, well, fake, call for help. 3 hours later, she's found stone-cold dead, suffocated to death on the scarve.

So sad right? I mean, to go to that extent to try and get her father's attention? Poor girl. I know this is only fictional, but I can imagine how utterly disappointed and unbelievably scared she must have felt, lying in the darkness of her own car trunk. The last thought that probably went through her mind before she passed out was, "My father doesn't love me. What if I were kidnapped for real? He wouldn't even care enough to pay a lousy sum of money to get me back." So sad.

Anyways.

I HATE LAW.

I NEVER WANT TO SEE ANYTHING ABOUT LAW OF TORT OR CONTRACT LAW OR MISREPRESENTATION EVER AGAIN.

Unfortunately, my conscience doesn't allow me to. So until Friday 9am, I'm gonna have to literally FORCE myself to sit still and read my painstakenly handwritten notes.

And it's back to the law for me.

I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK IN WORKING ORDER!!!

I'M SO HAPPY!!!

AND IT'S SNOWING!!! ACTUALLY SNOWING!!! HEAVY SNOW THAT SETTLES!!!

THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME IN A LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME!!!!!

I KNOW IT'S VERY ANNOYING TO READ AN ENTIRE POST WITH CAPITAL LETTERS, BUT IM JUST SO VERY FUCKING HAPPY!!!

And I'll stop now before anyone feels like putting a knife at my throat.

It started snowing around 10pm. My friends and I immediately ran out and we were having snowball fights and running around, screaming like crazy. It was SO fun!!! Best time I've had so far since the Christmas holidays!!!

OH MAN!!! I CAN'T HELP IT!!! I'M SORRY!!! BUT I'M JUST SO EXCITED AND ABSOLUTELY DELIRIOUS WITH JOY!!!

Man, I'm gonna fall sick. It's bloody freezing.

I love my life now. Everything just looks so beautiful when it's covered in snow. :)

If only I could turn back time and the date today could be 25th December all over again. I feel like singing Christmas carols and drinking mulled wine in front of a roaring log fire.

Mmm.

Law can be interesting. Unfortunately, not when it's studying for a damn exam.

God, I'm dying for a lovely, hot cup of Starbucks caramel machiatto.

Sigh.

I had a horrible dream last night. It felt so damn real, I was totally freaked out. Won't go into too much details, but it was terrible.

Ooh, gonna put up some pictures of celebrity hairstyles that I've picked out. Gonna change my hairstyle when I come back in March

Choice 1. Ashlee Simpson. (I love the waves.)

Choice 2. Sophia Bush.

Choice 3. Danneel Harris.

Choice 4. Ashley Tisdale.

Leave a comment and let me know what u guys think. It's either waves or straight. Not poker straight, cos it makes my head look totally flat.

Anyways, I better get back to my notes. Can't wait to change my hairstyle. As of this moment, my hair looks like a bird nested in it.
