Last week was a busy week: she had assignments to work on and projects to complete so besides the weekly grocery run, meal prep, and lecture readings, she was in her room completing work. Oh yes, she also came down with fever earlier part of the week and spent Sunday sleeping it off. 

Then on Wednesday, she told us that she and the group would be going to Nottingham again this weekend. :) 

They spotted NTU: UK version! 

She said the portions were always large and filling. 

They also attended church where they were gifted some plants. :) The leaves resembles that of a daffodil plant so lets hope they bloom into those pretty yellow flowers. 

Went to Nottingham Castle too.

When you hear 'Nottingham', you think 'Robin Hood'.

Here they were, back in their room after. 

C has a thing for fridge magnets. 

That time of the week where C did the meal prep with her friends. 

Next week, they will be having cabbage rolls and 

It is always quite comforting to have warm soup with rice. :) 

There is always something to do when the weekend draws near. C is diligent with her readings, tutorials, and lectures. On the days where she does not have classes to attend, she stays indoors to finish up her readings or whatever work she has with her team mates. 

The group of them were supposed to head up to Nottingham the previous weekend but some of them were slightly under the weather so plans were postponed. 

The 40-minute bus ride out. 

C said it was sunny but oh so windy. 

Being miles away from home, and especially during this festive season, homesickness must hit hard and different. It was heartwarming to learn that they got together for their own celebration. 

With Valentine's Day around the corner and it being the weekend, C and her friends had a bit more time to spare. They gathered for breakfast and made themselves pancakes. 

I was going to upload a photo of the girls together -but I didn't get permission, so I think I shan't. 

The girls cooked chicken curry today!

C said it took them a good two hours to prepare everything: way too long. hahaha. oh well, the good thing was the kitchen smelled heavenly after. 

Meal prep is getting more exciting with each passing week. 

I guess it is also easier to be preparing western meals as they have less complex procedures and do not need all sorts of fancy spices.

The colours truly whet the appetite! We are heartened that C is adapting well. :) C said she liked the taste of the sweet potatoes and that they provided a contrasting texture to the oily salmon. 

The weekend's here! C and her group of friends headed out to Leicester. 

bonding time with her mates. :)

She found a thrift shop and bought 2 tops for 3 pounds each: much to her delight.

Meal prep for the coming week. 

Sunday morning, a few of them went to church near campus. 

Okay, we'll await for more updates from C. :) 

It's been 2 weeks... C's daily routine has been quite similar: Up at 7am, eat breakfast, then get ready for classes. Lectures are mostly in the afternoon with a day at 9 o'clock in the morning. Then she will be back in the dorm to do her readings. 

Then at around Singapore time, 5pm, she will call us. :)
