Appreciating Summer

Thursday, 31 July 2008

Hello people! Yes it's been a while. The reason for the lack of updates is primarily my laziness. You see, I have two sets of photographs (grand total of 2K pics) which I have yet to sort. Well I did start a bit, but well... sigh.

Anyways, this is my first summer in Sheffield (and sadly, probably the last). My first proper summer holidays. On one hand, it's good to almost totally relax, have a nice break whilst I can before throwing myself into the working world (note to self, must work super hard now that you're having so much free time). However, sometimes, when I see some people taking some part time job, I feel guilty towards my parents, spending their money (right now lar) bumming (I admit I do have stuff to do, but I still waste quite a bit of time here and there, taking my own sweet time whenever possible).

Actually, instead of complaining (which I do quite often, something I've been trying to change for a while now) about being all alone in my house, and most people not in Sheffield, I think I should enjoy the British summer to the fullest! Get some warm nice sunshine, so rare in winter and autumn and.. well basically most of the year.
It's so easy to forget the dreary cold weather throughout the year... ahhh we seldom treasure what we have. I shall blog about any activities I partake in in the future =)

What else... Oh yea, my graduation photographs. It's all in my new Camera. Okok.. tomorrow I shall transfer them all into my computer and sort them out. It's quite a task since it takes up so much space.. and I have to compare photographs from both camera to delete similar photos....

Oh yeah, I have finally decided on my accommodation in Reading.. small little room, right next to Foster Wheeler office (I hope I won't be assigned to the other office in city centre.... T__T). It seems that most landlords in Reading tend to put double beds in small rooms just so that they can charge us much higher rent. Consequently, there's really not much space to move about in the room. I just hope I can fit a small desk in there for my laptop and speakers.

Another thing is, nowadays I find it a bit hard communicating with my colleagues... maybe it's just me trying to get used to using an English slang (yea yea we can argue about this later), but I think generally it's just me being too shy. (You might not be able to tell from this blog... LOL). So, gotta remind myself to speak louder and with more conviction. YEOSH.


Here are some random photos I took.

Chili chicken. Quite tasty.. frankly, I feel that the quality of food in Wong Ting has gotten worse over the recent years. Either that or it has lost it's novelty as one of the few chinese restaurants in Sheffield.

Taken on the way back from Reading. The train ticket cost me more than 100 pounds! Still deciding if I should claim it. lol

Ok time for bed.
