and the squirrels are getting real fat

Hello! it's an unearthly hour of 4.37am right now. i can't sleep i don't know why. maybe i'm too excited about the theme park later. haha. and we just had daylight saving. like after 1.59am is 1am. so cool. hahahaha. we gained an hour for no reason, but we will lose it next spring ON MY BIRTHDAY (!@#$%^&*)

ok so since im awake at this kind of time, i decided to blog :D woohoo. and the greatest thing that happened between now and the previous post is that WOOHOO THE TOY IS OVER OMG YAY. it was due on thurs. couldn't wait to hand it in and get it out of my head. went there with my ultra portable toy in a plastic bag and when i saw what the others have i was like "oh dear..." but ah well, it was so interesting to see other toys and the mechanisms people use to make their toys work. when it came to testing, mine worked but needed to be tweaked a bit. so yah cross fingers toes and eyes x) this toy project was like sooo troublesome, i spent so much time effort and money on it but it was a good experience. a kick in the butt for us to start the course. haha.

some of the toys
everyone waiting for the testing to start...
my toy :D i watned to throw it away after the thing, but couldn't bear to so it is now sitting in a little corner collecting dust.
friday long day at school and a happening happening night. went to get shiqi's cake and then had an EWB social dinner between UCL and imperial. we went to this ethiopian restaurant at finchley east which was in zone 2 (ooh my first time out of zone 1). it was had such a cosy atmosphere. a perfect place to bring shunjie and jolene. haha. it was a buffet of ethiopian food. haha. the food is quite nice and yummy. pretty worth it for £8.50. and because they wanted to give us a really ethiopian experience, we had to eat the ethiopian way, with our hands. there were no utensils at all. haha. really interesting experience. glad i went :D
ethiopian deco...
we filled up the entire place, more behind
the food :D
queueing for the food
after that rushed back for shiqi's birthday celebration with the cake. supposed to celebrate it at ULU bar but they didn't allow outside food (the cake) so we adjourned to my hall's common room. and we just sat around and had orientation. like introduction and playing orientation games. it was quite funny and suaning was damn focused on his games and introduction objectives. but it's a really good way to know people :) and connaught bar was having a halloween party. so there were 2 parties in connaught that night. haha. stayed till like 2plus in the morning. yay hope shiqi enjoyed himself. love celebrating birthdays :D
sitting around like an og. haha.
birthday boy! :D
:D
saturday i spent my entire day doing work so that i can go out at night and on sunday. ok there's nothing much to blog about doing work so fast forward. i finished my work early and went for a jog. the squirrels are sooooooooooo fat. getting fatter and fatter. luije suggested catching one back to watch it sleep in the room -.- after that went off to vic's house for her housewarming, the bus is so cocked up. we got up the correct bus number and on the way, the bus driver just announced that the destination has changed. then at some angel place, the bus stopped and all passengers had to get down. we alighted and the bus stop does not cater for the bus we were on -.- so we had to hunt for another bus stop and wait for the next bus. and pay again. baaaah. ate and talked and chatted at vic's house. there was a weird atmosphere, maybe cos i didn't know the people there well enough. so it wasn't as fun as i thought it would be. stayed for a while and then headed back. waited to watch the daylight saving thingy :D haha so cool. like a min ago it's 1.59am and then it becomes 1am. haha. chatted and talked till like 2 plus 3. came back, tried to sleep and can't.

WE'RE GOING TO ADVENTURE ISLAND LATER! :D WOOOHOOOO!
