Weekly reflections

Note: No pics so far.. so nothing on London.. yet. Sorry, Jess!

Ahh.. it's that time again. The cycle of 7 days, which i believe is called a week.. has ended. Let me highlight what has gone on the past week.

Monday - It was Justin's birthday. We, the Rutland gang conspired to surprise him on his birthday. He took everyone but yours truly for dinner in the city. (I had to skip it coz of the Notts Games preparations) The plan was to ambush him with water balloons(you can't go wrong with water balloons in winter! >.<) and to lure him into on of the shared studies which had been set up for a surprise party. It went well.. he was quite surprised. We got him a bottle of Absinth.. which we drank throughout the night as we played poker. We drank shots throughout the night.

Thursday - I had my regular ballroom class.. learned more waltz and cha cha.

Friday - Ahh.. yes. I turned 19. Kept it quite low profile... I went over to my bro's for dinner. Original plan was to have a steamboat party at a fren's place but the next day was to be the Notts Malaysian Games so wanted to keep the day simple. It was a great dinner.. with herbal chicken, curry fish/prawns and other stuff.. After dinner, my bro and housemates surprised me with a nice chocolate birthday cake with a candle on it. Heh.. was a nice surprise.. didn't see it coming. We went down to the city after that.. had a pint at Malt Cross. It's a nice classy bar with a glass roof and it usually has indie bands performing in it. (Coincidently, my bro did a magic gig there and has a nifty picture of him here)

We then headed of to Snug, a medic hang-out club. It's a pretty nifty place as the top's the dance floor and the bottom floor's a acoustic performance lounge. We hung out at the lounge where my bro met some other medics. The music was good.. the guy playing played stuff like Iris, I'm a Believer, and other covers..

Reached the hall around 1 and fell asleep at 2...

Satutday - NOTTS GAMES! Yeah... had to wake up at 6. 4 hours of sleep for a long hectic day.. Yeah!! I ran snooker and played bball (although i only got 6 minutes game time>.<) and met tons of friends. Here's where i have to say to those who did come that i'm terribly sorry i didn't have time to entertain you guys and show you aroud Notts. I feel immensely guilty... By the end of the day, I got back to my hall at 5.30.. makan.. masuk bilik.. then Tracy called saying she's going back edi. and i was just so exhausted.. slept right there on my bed after that.

Ahh.. to make it up to you guys.. Those in the UK reading this.. next weekend is the Malaysian Singaporean Society Games. I'll be doing less then.. i'm playing bball from the nott's junior team.. that's all. So, tell me in advance if you're coming down and I'll give like a campus/city tour if you like. If you need a room to stay.. well, bring a sleeping bag and i think i've got space in my room for one. (Just don't mind the drunken ppl chanting and banging on doors)

That's all for now.. Cheerio...
