Easter holidays came & went. 3 weeks of holidays now over. The last term is giving me mixed emotions - I can't believe it won't be long now before graduation, yet again I will be sad to leave Aber as my year here has been filled with great memories (and of course, sad to be leaving the people too!), and yet again, terrified of the coming exams. The final one. Help! Plus it doesn't help that I have got 6 papers to sit for.
Easter holiday was pleasant - though for most of it I was in Aber, but the town wasn't as dead as it was during Christmas. Though I got to spend a night with the Lyn & the other girls in Liverpool and also another night in the beautiful town of Chester (which I love much!). Acted like animals in the zoo. What can I say? We wanted to blend in with the animals in their habitats. *winks*
I'm still contemplating to go or not to go for MayBall. It sounds exciting, really. The line-up isn't a bad one either with Sugababes, Vengaboys, Bjorn Again (woo-hoo for ABBA songs!) and many more on the main stage. It will definitely be a night to remember with friends. What more, it's the last year of uni - possibly the last ball I'll ever get to go for...So what's the problem then? I suppose the fact that everyone's unsure if they're going or not. After all, friends makes the night even more memorable - not the performances!
It snowed on Sunday (also the besties birthday!!!). Unfortunately I fell fast asleep while waiting for it to snow & by the time I got up, most of it had melted. Boo-hoo. Didn't get to have snowball fights or even make a mini snowman - like how Lyn made one and sent me an MMS at 1am! It was a joy to have opened a multimedia message while half-awake only to be greeted with a picture of a snowman greening at you.
I'm glad people are back in Aber. It's so good to see familiar faces once again & am loving the fact that it is still bright at 7 in the evening! Much work to do, yet I'm still bumming around watching shows on iPlayer. I'm hooked. I wished I had a tv - to watch more series and well, footie! Remember the times when dad & I use to watch it & we used to drive mom, the lil' rascal & the maid crazy. :p
It was grandad's birthday 2 weeks ago - a night before Irene's wedding dinner. The little rascal sent me pictures of both nights & how I wished I had been there! Looking at the smile plastered on grandpa's face when the family threw him a surprise celebration at a restaurant & also Irene's wedding - it was simple, yet she looked as stunning as ever!
Happy 90th, grandpa! <3

Took this picture at the beach the other day when it was so sunny and warm. Reminded me of this:
Along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed that
During the low periods of my life when I was
Suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me,
Lord, that if I followed You,
You would walk with me always.
But I noticed that during the most trying periods
Of my life there have only been
One set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have needed You most,
You have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you."
Me :)
