Interests: I'm FINALLY in BATH! So where's Bath, you might be wondering...Well its in the UK and about 1 1/2 hr train ride away from London! Its a really small place where u can walk the entire downtown in half a day! But I love the place! Eventhough the weather is cold n dry, I still love it!! Its peaceful....slow....friendly! What more can i ask for! Ermzz..maybe having Max here wud have made this place more perfect!!! But that aside, this is a wonderful place ta be in! I have loads of time to myself, ta do stuff i wanna do but haven't been able ta do, given the hectic schedule S'pore has put me through day in day out! I am learning more each day, about myself, about my life! And I love it!!

Lappy's finally up and running! *Yippee* As i guessed it, some dirty old virus corrupted my hard disk drive, causing it to be re-formatted! But thankfully, due to some sheer luck, it decided to resurreact at the repair center for a while, giving me just enough time to back up ALL my files! *double yipee*. Which means ALL my photos are back!! Still wondering how did that happen!

Anyway, I arrived back in Singapore last Mon (28th) after a tearful farewell to my friends....and Bath! But i'm glad to be home!  Had a short stop-over in Bangkok for a few days, but was too jet-lagged to do much shopping and eating! I only managed to unpacked my baggage TODAY only, and thats only because I'm going to India on wednesday! Yippee, another trip! But this time...its wid MAX! I'm so looking forward to this trip.....even if its India! Gonna be back on the 22nd....so till then...have fun peeps!

poopie> this entry is esp for u! Just received your email and guessed u wud want an update! Will try to update as often as I can, but I will DEFINATELY email ya.....have fun in sch! Miss ya lots!

I actually forgot the reason to why i'm updating my blog---->FRIENDSTER!

Dear friends,

As you all have known, I'm ANTI-FRIENDSTER....was...still is...and will be! So that account of "mine" is definately not set up by me....Being in UK has not changed my perception of FRIENDSTER. Its done my by dearest pals....Ricky n Poopy.... Notti pple!!! (Will get back at you two soon! When my exams are over!!!) Will try to close it as soon as I can!

Love,

tracie!


Its gonna be my LAST exam today! Can't wait to get rid of it...PERMANENTLY! Think the questions are gonna drive me mad.....my prof loves questions like

" Is Culture a form of Control or is Control a form of Culture" or

" Are we in a society of consumers or consumers of society"?

Its questions like these that are gonna drive me MAD! I only have 2 hours to make sense out of the question, and then make sense out of my answer.....GREAT! But after that....LALALALALA.....its HOLIDAY time...Gonna be in London next week....and then off to SUNNY Bangkok! Yippeeee....and then back home to Singapore

Btw....lappy still down....

Sad sad day today...woke up this morning for  my sports psychology paper only to discover that my lappy "died" overnight...it was a peaceful "death" i guess, since it died while in "sleep". It said " Unable to locate Operating System", anyone know what caused its death? I guess I can only resurrect it when I'm back in Singapore cos the local docs ( the ones in the library) are too poorly equiped to save its life, so I have to bring it to the A&E aka the ER ( some Computer shop in town). And I'm not gonna freaking pay money when its still under warranty!! Thank goodness Lisa n Judy are away in Belgium now, so they have kindly lent me their lappies to tide over this depressing period

And nope thats not the end of my depressing day....its a DAY...After discovering the "death", I made a few phone calls to convey her death back home and USED up all my phone credits left! Another sad thing.....cos theres no point in topping it up anymore since I'm leaving pretty soon. Which mean, I can't call HOME! Thats SAD THING number 2...

SAD THING number 3 was seeing Ingo leaving, yeps EVERYONE is gonna leave or has left.....but i was too depressed over my lappy's unexpected death to bid Ingo a cheerful farewell! Ingo> Hope you have reached home safely!

Then its on to my SAD thing number 4.....picked up the bottle of "FRESH" milk to make my lil choc. cereal and i made sure i checked the expiry date....cos things in my kitchen seems to expire really fast. "Ok label says, 13th June....Can drink" my already sad mind was thinking. So I happily poured it over my cereal and ate.....first bite...ok taste buds too numb to notice anything....2nd bite....Hurmz taste funky...3rd bite.....Better check the label AGAIN....4th Bite....Hurmz still not suppose to expire so sud be fine....5th Bite....inspects the bottle...okies no lumpy stuff.....6th bite....ok it is still as SOUR as my first bite. So off it went into the dustbin and I prayed my tummy wud be fine for my morning paper.

Well, with every Yin, theres always a Yang, so it was great that my SAD THING stopped for awhile to give me a lil repreive from my morning disasters. The friendly bus driver picked me up this morning! He's friendly cos he gives us FREE bus rides! So that cheered me up a lil * see it isnt really that hard to cheer me up!* Then the Sports Psychology paper was an exact carbon copy of last years, so that upped the CHEER factor more! I finished it within 40 mins when it was a 2 hr paper, but decided to stay a lil while more to wait for Eric and Ali who were sitting around me to finish theirs. In the meantime, decided to read the dictionary which the school has so "kindly" placed on my table & eric's too ( Seems that only WE had the dictionary). Anyway, realised that they had given us an unfair advantage cos the exam questions actually asked for some definitions which we could have relied upon the dictionary for. But still find it kinda amusing that I get a dictionary... Don't this people get it that my FIRST language is ENGLISH! Okies, my English ain't that perfect but hey, dun think its that bad till i need a dictionary rite! Feel kinda discriminated that we have been singled out for dictionaries...But that aside, the paper went fine!

After the paper, went down to the tax office to claim back my taxes! Yeah, got a job in my school cafe & bar (which explains my no-updates blog) and they TAXED me! God, i earned like 168 pounds and they taxed me 20 pounds! Thats about 10% tax....its not even a CPF contribution which still remains MY "money". Yeah so I better GET BACK my tax!!! So yeah, Tax department says to wait for my next pay slip to check if they have refunded my tax money!! They better...*haha*

Next up....everything went downhill again. Ali left! Yep left bath for good! Had his last lunch in Bath with him in Judy's kitchen, which we all cuden eat much....Then it was off to his place to finish some packing, and then lugging it off to the coach station * Baggage count- 6 Items-* I will be seeing Ali back in Singapore so things wasn't that bad for me, but can't say the same for Judy.... then again, life in bath without Ali around seems weird, everywhere we went, whatever we said, kinda reminded us of him with us. So yeps, thats sad thing number 5!

Sad thing number 6.....bumping into the Spanish gurls and discovering that they too were leaving pretty soon too! It was like BAM BAM BAM....all bad news coming at the same time....everyone's LEAVING except ME!!! I'm like the last to leave here......i think i rather be the first...

I think this upcoming 2 weeks would be a pretty sad and nostalgic one, cumulating with Poopy's departure....

 

Damage Count:

Okies all pictures recoverable cos I uploaded them up to Yahoo!Pics, except for my Manchester & Liverpool Pictures  My first live soccer match....*sighz* so i guess the only picture i have left is that of Owen n me in my Profile pic..its gonna stay there for a long time!

GONE- ALL VIDEO CLIPS....funny ones...sad ones...ALL GONE! sobz sobz...

MY FINANCE SPREADSHEETS...ahhhhhhh....which i have built up over my three years of uni life....Its like taking away the wand from Harry Potter, the pistol from the Policeman, the taxi from the taxi driver....do i make sense? Anyway, you get the drift...I'm So gonna be dead when I get back to SMU....

The rest of my files....well....not so important i guess....Pray that my harddisk drive can still be salvaged...

Flipping through my trusty lil organizer, I've come to realise that I'm approximately 7 weeks....48 days to coming back to Singapore. Time passes by really fast huh? From "my hostel" to 'my home', its now where I call 'my room', i think i have become really comfortable staying where i am now and leaving it  will be really hard! I'm STILL in the midst of decorating my room, like putting up stuff on the wall, on the noticeboard! I really don't think i am prepared to leave yet! I will probably cry as hard as i cried when i left Singapore when I have to leave Bath. I haven't even ventured to the outskirts of Bath yet! And not forgetting, my friends! Thats wud really be sad, and like 10 times more hardbreaking when I have to send each of them off like within a week! 7 weeks from now is my "Armageddon" week, where everything I had for the last 6 months will "vanish" within that week...my room, my friends, my way of life! Everything! Its gonna be as though this whole thing was a dream and poof, its gonna all vanish and everything will just be memories.

I have 48 days left to grab everything I can.....It may sound really long. But i know how fast time can pass over here. I'm gonna treasure everything even more now

Which reminds me.... i have to contact Thai Airways regarding my baggage allowance...
