Nothing compared to London and Birmingham where the whole city was blanketed with snow, causing schools to shut.. no such thing here..<br /><br />In fact, for all the hype bout Lancaster being so far up north, it is suprisingly warmer (mind u it is not warm it is freezing!!) than expected.. what a waste.. but news reports that the Snow is moving up North.. ok it reports that it will move to the North East.. I hope the wind changes and blows it to the North WEST instead... haha.. than maybe I'll have a WHITE CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! Wohoo!!<br /><br />*No pictures of snow as there just wasnt enough falling :(<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2500347942644885669-3084569451077885641?l=joester84.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tan Ye Huang, Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05508749461030663346noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500347942644885669.post-64112503060041009172007-02-02T13:35:00.000-08:002007-02-02T13:44:42.496-08:00<div><div>It was a Thursday night</div><div>It was an International Party </div><div>It was orgnised by the Chinese and Hispanic Society</div><div>It was Ace!!</div><br /><div></div><div>Clubbing with friends, partying till Dawn, need I say more??</div><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TNDff9I3Snc/RcOwlvyFN8I/AAAAAAAAAB8/_72fHEeiZzY/s1600-h/clubbing-1-feb-2007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027055771603777474" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TNDff9I3Snc/RcOwlvyFN8I/AAAAAAAAAB8/_72fHEeiZzY/s320/clubbing-1-feb-2007.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TNDff9I3Snc/RcOv4_yFN6I/AAAAAAAAABs/3JOyYHUQey4/s1600-h/clubbing-1-feb-2007.jpg"></a></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2500347942644885669-6411250306004100917?l=joester84.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tan Ye Huang, Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05508749461030663346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500347942644885669.post-63157909028135883092007-01-27T08:45:00.000-08:002007-01-27T09:01:34.981-08:00Already it is the end of the second week of term!!

Very much akin to 'open sesame'. And what a new world this has proven to be.. No, i'm not just talkin about studying abroad.. but about BLOGGING.. <br /><br />Never in my life did i ever think for a moment that i would actually be sitting down and penning my mundane life for the rest of the world to read. But thanks to my good friends back Home in Singapore who so want to know what i'm up to (studies!! how many times must i repeat myself!!!), u will get a glimpse into the 'exciting' life of mine.<br /><br />So read on at your own leisure and i'm not to be sued or held accountable or responsible in anyway if u should suffer any loss (time mainly) while exciting yourselves over my 'fascinating' posts!<br /><br />Cheers!!<br /><br />NB: This is for all my mates i left back Home and anywhere around the world some of u others might be.
