Boredom brought me here….

I am bored.

It’s Boxing Day today, ie sales. Last year’s Boxing Day in London was a nightmare. It is, however, suprisingly quiet in Oxford this time around.

Since I have a 12pm - 12am shift in the lodge, I’m left with 2+ hours to shop in the morning. Soojin & I were pretty enthusiastic when we set off at 9.30am. Greetings from the empty and quiet streets in town sorta put us off immediately and we ended up having coffee & muffins in Costa cafe. What losers…

Caught a glimpse of hope when Zara finally opens. And then there were Gap, Topshop, River Island, etc. Ended up window shopping instead. What losers…

Catch of the day : Face moisturiser from Body Shop. What loser…

And yes, that’s Boxing Day 2006.

I’m bored.

It’s been a while since my last post.

Busy, lazy, lack of inspiration… excuses.

Michaelmas term came and went. So quickly that I could only remember it as a term filled with parties, banters, gossip, and dramas. Doesn’t feel as if I’m a student, guess it’s time to re-focus (as if that’ll happen, but it’s a priority in my new year’s resolution).

Christmas in the lodge sounds sad. But again, I’m just gona bum around anyway. Guess I’ll spend the time missing the people back home, not looking forward to it.

New year in Edinburgh sounds fun. Can’t wait to meet up with some old mates. Catching ups always leave you with fond memories. Plus, Hogmanay is something to look forward to.

2006 - Enjoyed every bit of it

2007 - Bring it on

Merry Christmas & a happy new year!
