the fingers of your thoughts are molding your face ceaselessly -

it's been a hectic past week! now I am tired but happy which means I need alone-time to recharge again but I am happy! I had three final exams from 20-22 may and then had to cloister myself away in the library while my hallmates who were done went out to pretty places like brighton. went out with nyx on saturday and we went to watch hairspray!, and she slept over at night which was fun but unfortunately v short ): finally had my last exam on 3 june :D then went to belgium- bruges and antwerp- from 4-6 june, just got back late this afternoon and just finished uploading photos. happy times, happy times.

I liked belgium, but then again I've liked and will like every single holiday/trip I have been and will be on, even when it involves many extra $$$ to go on it and it rains all the time (spain) or I forget to apply for a visa and get kicked off a night train (romania) :P I'm like...why complain about something if you're already there! find the happy things and focus on them! and I really appreciate all the opportunities to be able to visit many different countries and cultures. it's one thing to be studying overseas, and I am still grateful for that opportunity even though it's been a year, and it's another thing to be studying in europe- so much culture!- and london is a springboard to everywhere. budget flights like easyjet and ryanair go for £5 for a single trip when you catch the right offers, and st pancras where the eurostar runs from is 15 minutes' walking distance from my hall. I feel so well-placed and it would be such a shame not to take advantage of this. I also feel like I shouldn't even be here by right, so like everytime I get to do something cool (like travel) which I couldn't if I wasn't studying here, I am v v happy. haha.

and besides, it could always be so much worse. and it was nice that we were able to go in a group of twelve from college hall- kind of like a final trip before we all start heading back for singapore- and nothing bad happened. I have immense respect for de facto group leaders and navigators, by the way, I think it takes imba leadership-ness to marshall and mobilise and MOVE such a large lazy group hahaha.

I liked belgium; it was...nice. laidback and western european and old and cultural and kinda germanic (?) and peaceful and...very nice! then again, we did take things slow and mostly ambled around eating lots of food hehe.











here be the rest of my photos :)
