living in singapore has made me take the sun for granted
was squinting at the sun today, and hey
it struck me suddenly, hahah that you know in singapore, it's hard to look up to the sky when it's sunny, or complain when we have to squint to see something in the sky..
was really happy to be able to squint at the sun today
being here in manchester made me realise things that i often took for granted in singapore, things that are so simple hahha like the sun, oh yes flowers! a few sprouted along the road today, so really happy :)
the weather here is often cloudy, lots of grey, so even the weatherman was happy when he announced some spring sunshine today
wanted to upload pictures, but cant
today me and my dad went to the university of manchester to walk around the University of manchester
the place is humongous, and very nice, hahah makes me want to study there:)
the Uni is big, its like a small town even haha they have their own small shopping centre too, its like maybe 4 times bigger then smu? just really cool, opened my eyes so much more
wore 2 layers plus a jacket out today thinking since its abit warmer (12 degrees), i could endure it.
but hah had to add another layer on.
its usually 10 degrees here for now, and sometimes i see people jogging in like shorts??hahah 'clapclapclap' to them man.
there are less buildings in manchester, mostly are red-bricked and look like cottages that we asians see in storybooks:) so another nice thing i like, is that the sky is veryveryvery w i d e. like really, it's nice, no tall buildings blocking your view.
oh my i cant wait to upload the pictures
sunday was cool
we went to this chinese church that my dad's friend's wife went to
the english service had like 20 people, with teens around my age
the worship was different from ky's, like no drums, but there is a worship leader,keyboardist,guitarist.
but they sit down and worship, so its abit weird.
but still powerful worship. even when im in a different place, feeling isolated, im still under the same sky that the same creator made.God in singapore is still the God in manchester.
watched a video sermon, something like john bevere, really cool
but after when someone introduced me to the teens, like no one said hi even i was right infront of them, so was abit sad, irritated.
in my heart, i really didnt want to go back for the afternoon teens session while my dad had his canto one, but ho it was good i went.
after then teens one, 2 girls came up to me, both older and younger by a year, and we clicked quite well
really nice people, exchanged nmbers and emails and all and hahahhaha they are the same as the ppl in sing except for the accent
they know famous korean ppl that we know haha, watch the same dramas, happy to be able to meet them
think im going back there this sunday
so it was really His plan that He brought me back, if not i wouldnt have wanted to go anymore
breakfast these few days consists of
canned hotdogs, bread,butter,tomatoes,cucumber and all:)
we buy from the supermarket the day before and eat them in the morning in the hotel room haha
oh yes SUPERMARKETS here are the best
hahahhahahha
the chocolate/sweets/biscuits section in singapore? times like 5 times, yea thats how much they have:))
theres chocolates, biscuits i have never seen before hahah so happy, will get some back.
hahah imagine buying a snack everyday after school... later i come back after 6 years and people dont recognise me
and they have lots of easter eggs here too
the other day we were in a chinese restaurant in chinatown, and hah
the table next to us had young people speaking with all the singlish
so happy to know singaporeans oversees:)
am at my dad's friend's house now, so thats why we have internet :)
sometimes i miss singapore, wanna be there now, having fun with evryone in the march hols
housing is still a problem that we are hoping to solve.
one uncle is quite eager to let me stay in his house, but his house is far from the 2 schools, then there are other options like renting a place ontop of a roadside shoppe/boutique that a uncle works at...which costs around £650/month, which is around two times sing
feel abit lost, like when i fill up forms, what do i put for address
He will provide
