Baka a.k.a Paboya updates:
Hey guys!
Haven seen ya all in like 5 days and I’m missing u guys already!! *muackz* Life here is rather fun and exciting but I also feel redundant like what yijia says… I’m surrounded by all the students studying PhDs or Masters! *sobz* but everyone here is real friendly and nice! Got cute guys! Hehehehe one is nerdy the other is cool. English and greek. Hmmm.. will post pictures up another day… today I’ll just talk about my past few days here!
1st day march 4th: reached airport at 10.30am…. horrible trip from the terminal (we were at a secluded area -_-) to the immigration place. ARGH yakult and milo were confiscated from yvette’s luggage coz’ no dairy products should be brought in. DARNED! My yakult!! Anyway, left the airport and dragged luggage EVERYWHERE!! From taking heathrow express, to taking local tube access… GOSH wth man!! Do u actually BLOODY know how heavy those things ar?? And they have no lift nor escalators! F**K!! BUT, people in UK are SOOOOO nice!!! They are so many people who came to help us each and everytime we had difficulty carrying the luggage up the stairs! Yvette’s luggage was soooo BIG that 2 guys had to help her carry the luggage up! 1 of them helped me first, b4 he went back down to help her! And hey! The stairs are not just 1 single flight, they are SOOOO many of them! *pengz* ANYWAYz, I’m so grateful guys and GIRLS came to help! Even those with boyfriends help out! A couple! Can u imagine? At first the girl told her bf to help, then she herself came to help but her bf said he could manage! Soo sweet!! *awwww* so, after a gruelsome 6 hour move?about, we got to Leicester in like 10 pieces. Nah just kidding. We’re alright but we needed tons of BENGAY!
Day 2/3: stayed at stoneycroft hotel and it was… not bad. The bed however, was even smaller than my QUEEN size bed? And for 2 people? Gosh u can’t imagine me dears~~ but I love the breakfast!! It was sooo sumptuous~~ and the weather was cold but amazing!
Monday: it was a SNOWY DAY!! Wooo~~ it snowed little at first then it got rather huge… I took a mini vid but I can only upload it when I return to sg… sianz.. heheh but we went to visit our supervisors and boy were they surprised!! Turns out that the director hadn’t informed them about our early arrival unlike the last batch, which was in april. So they didn’t expect us now at all!! -_- Dr zaman, wad have u been doing? Y didn’t u contact them!?
Then, I and Yvette had to choose btw Dr. Andrew Fry and Dr. Julie Morrissey. Seriously, we couldn’t decide coz’ we weren’t too interested in either topic. Dr Fry was focused on Biochemistry while Dr. Morrissey was doing genetics and MRSA. ARGHHH reminds me of Dr. Gordon LIM!!! >_<” lol but in the end we did choose using scrap paper and drawing lots and I got Dr. Morrissey! Hahaha boy was I glad now! They’re a bunch of lively people and my lab has more guys!! *smirks* hahahahahaah and there’re 2 cute ones I observe… 1 English and the other from Greece. Fantastic yea? I’ll show u the pics another day.. oooo so exciting.. lol
Niwaez, I gtg now.. the I just destroyed a cable and I am DARN pissed about it!! Will update soon when I load the pics up!
Meanwhile, cheerios to u lovey doveys!
