Honestly speaking, I can't wait for placement to end, and I can't wait for my summer holidays to start. One good reason is because I wanna shoo back to Singapore, to my room with AIRCON!

Summer is here, and mad Cardiff was 42 degrees last Thurs. Melt manz! It just started raining quite a bit last night (thank goodness!) after a horrid week of sunshine, which angmos love, but apparently, sunshine's is something I avoid big time.

My room in Cardiff is boiling like a sauna as well because of the afternoon sun, so I end up spending most of my time in his room. It's only time I start moving my pillows to his room as well, since I can't even sleep in my room without getting my tee soaked at night. Am glad I'm moving to a new flat with him soon. Hopefully, everything will be perfect there :)

Can't wait to go to Paris now. I'm really proud of my boy who has so kindly volunteered to do all the planning for our trip. And it seems to be progressing well. But he's gotta pay 125 quid for the visa!!! What an extorbitant fee! He was so jealous when he realised I didn't need a visa since I'm Singaporean...hahahaha. Hope we'll get it all sorted and be able to start booking our tickets and hotel. I wanna see Paris so badly and of course, go to Disneyland. The last time I was in Disneyland was when I was 7 years old...haha..what a looooooong time ago..

We're also getting more and more excited about my trip to China. He's planning it as well, and we're probably gonna go to Sichuan for a tour with his cousin and friend. But I have quite a bit of preparations to do and it's definitely more than just a leisure trip there. Apparently, his dad is pretty concerned about a person's appearance, so that means, I'll have to make sure my clothes aren't as rotten as those I'm currently wearing and I'll have to get my hair cut, brows trimmed etc. Basically, total makeover. I was feeling troubled over this issue and had a chat with Mum abt it, but I'm glad she was pretty supportive about buying me some new clothes and groom me up a little before my trip since she thought it was high time I did something about myself. Sigh.

I've got the green light to buy a pair of pink heely sandals I saw in Ravel too. It's gorgeous to me, and CG loves it to bits, and most importantly, I do look like I'm 1.7m when I'm wearing it. Will share it with Mum (and she's most likely gonna wear it most of the time) since I'm pretty unwillingly to part with 35 quid on it even though I know it's all worth the $. Can't wait to shoo back to Cardiff now to buy it actually, but I've got teaching later on Radiology...argh! Hope it'll be something worthwhile though.

And...laptop...sigh. I'm facing laptop problems again. One of the fans is faulty now and my laptop isn't cooling itself as well as before, and the hot weather isn't the least helpful. Hence, my laptop just switches off by itself without warning, and as a result, I'm kinda hesitating to turn it on unless I really have to. It's a nightmare to have laptop/computer problems here because they end up in the workshop for MONTHS no matter how simple the problem is. And the repair fee is insane too. Fancy them wanting to charge me 50 quid just to collect my laptop and bringing it to the workshop with NO guarantee of getting it repaired. And repairing that fan might well cost me a good 100-200 pounds.

I'm so wanting to buy myself a small laptop..a 12 inch. But I'm not daring enough to ask for one..lol. It'll definitely come in handy since I'm always "on the run" and my current 15 inch is way too heavy to keep carrying around (it's not in the best condition now either)...but...the $$$!

Just reminded myself what a miser I am...
