v. long post and photo overload!

Now that I've finished my degree, it's time to stop hermitizing, and actually get a life. (No more weekend practises in school!) The past few days have just been absolutely heavenly: eating, drinking, clubbing, etc etc and what better than to do so in the company of good friends?

Tuesday:

Ended all my accompanying jobs, I thought Lawrence and Clarinda were absolutely brilliant. Yang'en played really well too and his Brahms was absolutely gorgeous (thanks to Lou's accompanying too!) but he thinks otherwise. So if you guys ask him abt his recital and he tells you it's crap, just nod your head to pacify him, but know that it's not true! I heard the pianists Will,Marian and Dominique play, and they were so good they put me to shame. Marian played this Takemitsu piece, which I'm itching to pick up and learn it for myself. Everyone's really talented: I feel as if I'm basking in a sea of constellations.

Cla was really sweet and treated me to dinner, and we went down to the Waterfront for some karaoke:

That's Jenny Bianco, the photo's really blur.

James and Matt. James is our President btw.

Yang'en is drinking! OMG!

This is the only group shot that turned out decent. L to R: Claire, Jenny Beer, Ewan, Grace and Caroline.

My darlings Mary and Lou!

Ewan and I having a laugh!

Wednesday:

Went for timsum, and gathered at Leicester Square:

Thursday:

Jo and I went shopping to prepare for our upcoming beach holiday. We spent close to 2 hours in there, and we both bought too many items that we don't really need. Damn the convincing salesgirls. I blew close to 100quid at Boots alone, and I forgot to redeem my Boots points. But never mind, Jo and I got our free gift. Mwahahahaha. I met Daniel in the evening, Jap dinner, concert and tim sum for supper. We both loved eating, so as long as we don't go hungry, I don't think it takes much to keep us happy! Attended a concert with Mozart's operatic excerpts and Mass in C minor, Royal Festival Hall. It's closing down for renovations soon, just as well, it suffers from the same flaw in the Esplanade back home. The sound quality under the 'canopy' is really quite bad. But it's such a prettttyyyy hall.

Friday:

Temperatures hit an all-time high of 30 degrees Celsius: the hottest day in London to boot. Yup. THIRTY. I actually woke up stark naked and perspiring in the morning, with my duvet, clothes and pillows sprawled on the floor. Freaked me out quite a bit. I had totally forgotten what humidity and heat actually felt like, talk about convenient amnesia. Sunny weather is fine and all, but this was ridiculous. Went down to Letchworth to Will's for an 'Analyst' gathering: (Lou, I still don't know where Letchworth is, is it in Cambridge?!?!)

Will's house.

Nell, Ewan, Will, Jenny, Lou and Clarinda.

Simon was MIA, he was totally missing out on the FOOD. I ate too many brownies and ice cream pastries for my own good:

My clean plate!

Attempted to play badminton:

Headed back to Central London at Leicester Square for Jo's belated birthday dinner. I don't know why I forgot to take pictures with Vincent:
Ashley and Jo, and it's JO AND ME!! -squeal squeal squeal-

Marcus and I

We headed to the Zoo bar later that night for some action, it's been too long since we've last went out clubbing. Anyway, there were just TOO MANY MEN with EXTRA LONG ARMS and STRONG FINGERS. What the hell, they could all pass off as reincarnations of Shiva (The Indian God with 8 Arms).

Saturday:

Korean dinner with Jo, Ashley and Lishi. Jo's going to review the Korean place where we went to on her multiply acc, so check it out soon!

Okay okay I'm very tired *pant pant*, going to crash out in bed. Scoffed too much junk today, so I must wake up early and go jogging. Yosh!

p.s. I know there's been a horrific lack of 'intellectual posts', exams just ended after all! Ngahahahaha. (Eat your heart out, Jing!)

blueprint

I will like to spend my days, as though they are my own, which I mostly end up doing in halves, for duty beckons, and I am answering its clarion call. Soon enough! I am also a veteran procrastinator.
