I love London

View of London from plane, taken in June 2011

Going to London in 3 hours time for a day trip. Will be meeting up with my sister and cousin there. I love London, as a TOURIST. I don't know what I love so much about it, honestly. Food? Shopping? Galleries? Museums? Well, I think I just enjoy the feeling of being in London, walking around and exploring new places. Something I really love doing is to walk along the South Bank.

I'm so glad that it's only a two-hour train ride from Manchester to London, and train tickets aren't THAT expensive. 

Mind you, I still love Manchester, as a student. Life is so convenient here, and it has almost EVERYTHING. But if I get to choose between London and Manchester to work in the future, I think I will choose London any time. If... I wish... not so possible...

Packing

Something I'm not good at

In the midst of packing. I hate packing, not only because I am not good at it, but it involves too much decision making - what to bring and what not to bring. How I wish I can send EVERYTHING over, or more ideally, have a Dokodemo Doa -

Mum, I'm going to uni now! I'll be back for dinner!

Tomorrow

My loyal travel mate, wherever I go

Tomorrow I will be travelling up north, then west and up north again, back to the place where I call my 'current second home'. My feeling isn't as heavy as it used to be the past 2 years, as I know very clearly in my mind that after this year, I will be coming back home with pride, and I shall treasure my very last year of being a student in my life (unless I decide to get a Permanent Head Damage).

OMG

Oh my God!!

What happened??!!

I didn't know what made me click on the app on facebook 'Messages from God'. I had never really bothered about it. I was just feeling really down and depressed over some thoughts.. unnecessary thoughts.

So... I got this:
You've been worrying too much about the future lately. So tonight, go ahead, put your faith in God, and just have a peaceful evening and a restful sleep.

I was so shocked!! How could this happen? That's exactly what has been thinking about! The FUTURE!! And God is speaking to me! This.. is... amazing... even though I have always known that God is amazing, but I was still very shocked!

Anyway, it's Easter today! Rejoice! And thank you Jesus!

Phew....

I think I have insomnia. After days of sleeping for only 4 hours or even less a day, I think I now have insomnia. It's 5 am, and I'm not even tired. Now I'm no longer stressed about my design project, and I have nothing much to worry about, but why can't I fall asleep?

Oh well. Like I said, design project is seriously a health hazard. Ironically, I did the health and safety hazards part for my part 3 report. For one whole week, I had been sleeping for at most 4 hours a day, and they weren't good quality sleeps. Sometimes I dreamt about having to hand in my report literally in the next hour and I'd only done 50% of it, and I would wake up immediately and start working. And of course, there were all-nighters as well. I had been sleeping in the morning at 11, and waking up in the afternoon.

So, that's part of it. Secondly, everyday I sat in front of my laptop for at least 10 hours. That's nearly half a day! My back hurt so much, and there was once when I couldn't even bend my fingers after having been typing for so long. Yes, literally couldn't bend my fingers. Of course, I believe my eye sight has deteriorated for having been looking at the screen for so long for so many days.

Thirdly, I had lost my appetite. I had at most 2 meals a day. That's partly because I went to sleep in the morning, and missed my breakfast. I was too knackered every time, and so I decided to sleep right away, and I would rather have more rest than to spend time to have my breakfast. Every second I had was so precious. On the day of submission, I literally didn't eat anything. All I had was 1 bottle of red bull energy shot which kept me awake and alert for the entire day. I still don't have the appetite till now.

Oh Red Bull, my lifesaver. It really helps!

Anyway, I'm not going to continue writing about it anymore. It's just going to be a post about my complaints anyway. The conclusion is, I was very stressed!


What's more important now is that IT IS EASTER BREAK!!!!!!!! So be happy!
