Carpe diem

It's unusual how I haven't touched this space in more than a month and feel entirely comfortable about it. I wouldn't say I didn't have a life back home, but here, it's a whole new level of life. Everyday, I am living every minute to the fullest. I am never idle. If I'm not in school, I'd either be in the kitchen attempting to whip up a 15-min meal (that far too often takes more than just 15 mins), in my room to catch up with undone work and house chores, or in Lorena's bed telling her about my day. And well, occasionally travelling as well... But I love it; I love how it feels like I'm learning new things and growing everyday. Moving here has undoubtedly been one of the greatest decisions of my life.

Travel logs:

Central Lake District - Aira Force & Ambleside

Day trip to Leeds with a plan to shop at Leeds Trinity but we ended up spending the entire day exploring this serene city and its grand university with our lovely host Yuping instead.

3d2n road trip to the main cities of Wales (Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea, the Stonehenge and Bath) with this amazing bunch of seven. Three Cliffs Bay at Swansea was my favourite even though I developed a phobia of steep slopes while we were trekking up the cliff. Other than Wales being absolutely mesmerising in general, I think the highlight of my reading week would have been witnessing two backpackers having sex in the middle of the night in the dorm right. opposite. me. Bless me and my traumatised mind...

Anyhow stitched-up doll for Halloween. Received several compliments for my stitched-up shirt but it was actually just a mistake 'cause I had to sew up the unintentional oversized slits in my shirt when I was attempting to go for a shredded look...

It's been two months and I dare say I've been carpe-ing diem everyday. This is all I've ever asked for.

Till then,
