Alright, alright, I'll update...Really, there aren't that many things that happen out of the ordinary in life right now. I'm too impatient to write eloquently on my blog (kudos to Persephone for her beautiful entries) so 'beauty' of my words does not motivate me to write. I'm still on track for Lent (no TV for 40 days) and it's been good to have 'more' time to do important things such as CV,

Whistler, the high life I'm in Whistler/Blackcomb at the moment, for a spur of the moment weekend trip with Woods and his culinary friends! Several factors came together for this trip - I had a really busy Friday, mere hours and minutes before I had to stuff things in a travelling bag and head off. It was snowing in Vancouver, so traffic was horrid in the morning. I had an appointment at

It's been a while since I blogged. Mostly it's due to the fact that nothing has really happened over here, I suppose. I'm still helping out with the BC chapter of the Canadian Music Competitions, and that is actually taking up a lot of my time. There are lots of little administrative and organizational bits that need tying up, and since I'm pretty nitpicky, that takes me a while. I'm doing a lot

Steph is back in Vancouver, after 9 days in T.O I'm back, once again. My goodness. I had enough of travelling for a while. Let's see: including my trip to Toronto, I have logged over 50 hours of flight since June. Lovely. My trip to Toronto was pretty good, actually. I do annual 'pligrimages' to T.O to see my maternal grandfather. He's 92 years old this year, and apparently doctors declare that

Back from Hong Kong, but now off to Toronto I'm back. Then I'm gone. HK was a dizzying array of lights, buildings, concrete, technology and plagues of people. Ate too much, for there were too many lunches and dinners with people. You don't just meet up and see people there - you met for food. The Octopus card is still the highlight of my trip - I just love that thing to bits. I got to see many

Steph in Hong Kong It's muggy here. And grim is everywhere. HK is a strange creature, for sure. The 13+ hour flight was very boring, but it was mostly because I forgot to bring a book along and the movies were very bad. Esp this Cantonese one - "Driving Miss Crazy". Really stupid, sorry. I'll be in and out of Kowloon today, I think. Miss you all over there in greener places - the air here is

Steph is lazy, but everyone knows that by now... After a month and a half of vegetating and loafing, I'm leaving on several jet planes again. Firstly, I'll be in Hong Kong from September 7th to the 17th, so HK people who know me, please please, email me ASAP with your contact information - I would love to see you again! And then, I'll be off to Toronto for my cousin Patrick's wedding - wheee!

One month back already I've been a lazy blogger. Actually, I've been lazy at everything these days! I sink into the sofa in front of the TV and I sit there, watching the Olympics. And I stress out over gymnastic routines by the athletes because I'm always scared that they would fall over the pommel horse or something... heeeheee. I had another quiet week.

Degree Day, as they call it here, began at 11am, when I picked up my gown and hood from the store and cycled in true Oxford style with full sub fusc, weaving in and out of mobs of tourists.

Sorry for the delay in continuing my previous post. Things have been quite busy, but not in the productive sense of the word...   So the cruise was fabulous. The cruise left Venice, went to Corfu, then onto Rhodes, then Kusadasi in Turkey, then Santorini, and ended in Athens.   July 6 to 9: Athens, Greece   Dusty. Windy. Awfully windy and dusty.

Post-exam slack It's been a nice few days after exams, I must admit. I finally watched Harry Potter 3, had a St.X lunch, met my supervisor and thanked him for the 2 years, went to the IR end of term party, had dinner with my classmates, had lots of G&Ds ice-cream, shopped a bit, St.X summer party on Saturday, lunch with Michelle, the last Basic of the year, etc....

Tuesday was History and Theory. History was completely bonkers: previously guaranteed questions were NOT there - the exam lumped together origins of WWI with inter-war years and origins of WWII!

Back from Edinburgh... Just got back from Edin - beautiful sombre, almost mournful city. Don't know why that's how I feel about it. The surrounding countryside in the highlands is gorgeous, but it's of a majestic, sort of noble beauty that is hard to describe... humbling. Glencoe is the most memorable place. Loch Ness was interesting, and Stirling was very pretty... Tim and Woods are in London

Oxford City Bumps After 2.5 weeks of sitting on my butt in front of my computer and working on my thesis, I spent the whole day today on the river, in the Oxford City Bumps. It's a fours rowing race, where there are 4 rowers in one boat plus the cox (steering/coach person), instead of at Torpids, where we were 8 to a boat. It was a gorgeous sunny day, not too hot, but defininately summer-like.

London! London! London! Sunday March 21st 2004 was a mad day in London. I haven't escaped from Oxford for a good part of the term, so I was really looking forward to this day in London. For the first time, this trip was a mixture of work and pleasure: I conducted two interviews for my thesis. Let me start at the beginning. This was the preliminary timetable: 10:00am-11:00am = church 11:20am =

End of Term syndrome Here is comes 'round again: the end of term. And as usual, I'm pretty butt lazy. I'm not as exhausted as last year's end of Hilary, where everyone literally just dropped to the ground, tired and worn out. This term's work has been heavy, but I guess I'm just in the groove of things by now. But this Week 8 was a seriously lazy one. It all started with Wednesday. I had a

We were all ready to bump for the 4th time in 4 days, thus getting blades - they actually present the team who has bumped 4 times with real oars, with the college crest and the names of the crew to EACH crew member!!!!

Torpids, Day 3 Wheeeee! We bumped again! This time, we were at #3, and we were chasing #2, Oriel II. As the race began, Oriel caught up with #1, St. Catherines, so Oriel bumped first and dropped out of the race. St. Catz had to keep going though and had to try to escape from us - muhahahahaha... Seconds later, we caught up with St. Catz and bumped them! And we did it waaay early in the race too,

Torpids, Day 2 Today was a muggy and grey day. I think it matched my mood a bit. I was pretty tried from all that rowing and umpiring yesterday, and I could feel it as I cycled down to the river today. Did the usual warmup and stuff, and then we set off in the boat. Rowing up to the start was pretty good - I was at least in sync with the others. We bumped yesterday, so today we start off at

Torpids Race, Day 1 It was thankfully a warmer day today - sunshine, breeze, but definately milder. I hust gave a pretty horrendous presentation in my seminar on international economic law and the WTO (I was babbling, incoherent, no points to make). And then I rushed down to the river where there were already lots of people milling about. Women division 5 just rowed by as I locked up my bike,

I was nervous because I don't want to let down everyone else in the boat, but it ended quite well. We're not very very fast, but decent, and it was also a beautiful sunny, but freezing cold day.

It turns out that there was a bit too much wind for us novices to get out on the water this afternoon for the Isis Winter Race, so there we were, all bundled up against the cold, watching other teams race.

Ooooh, what a week I'm clutching my stomach as I type - I think I ate my dinner way too quickly, and ate way too much of it.... What a delightful start to a post, eh? ;) This week has been quite fantastic - thanks to God for pulling me through and ending on a high note. I did my bit for my thesis, and my supervisor was fine with what I've written so far and my ideas. He also gave me a very

Unbelievable... you know you're doomed when you can't even remember the username to your own blog! ... or maybe I'm just terribly absent-minded and thick. Regardless, I did remember the name, and I am posting on my own blog. It's been a week since London, but still I feel disjointed. I've started writing a bit of my thesis, but I have a long way to go still. My daily devotions are still going

The London Weekend I haven't written for a long time... Much has gone on, and I'm very busy... but the important things around here are to do with community and communication. I've had the blessing of enjoying the company of my best friends here in the last few weeks: cooking, dinner and desserts with Ruth and Amande, ice cream with Alia, and being with Marisa and Cedric this weekend in London.

Back in Oxford... Hello everyone! It's been a long while since I updated my blog. Christmas back home was one long, relaxing, lazy and lovely month. It was only marred by the fact that Woods zipped off to Hong Kong for 2 weeks, and the snow snowed the entire city in so people could get out of their homes to meet up. But the snow itself was absolutely lovely... powder soft and white... So, what

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day! I spent Christmas Day with my mom. She wanted to go up to Cypress b/c she's never been, and so we drove up there. It was a mixed day of flurries and fog way up there in the mountain, but looking down onto the city was nice and sunny. We pretty much drove up there, walked around the place (me itching to go skiing but no skiing) and watching all the happy

Off to the Island: Dec 22-24 So, me and I fan went to Galiano Island early Monday morning. We got to the ferry terminal early at Twanessan, so we had at least an hour to browse through trash magazines and eat our McD brekkies.... YUM. We got to the island at around 11am.... we check it and it was perfect weather: sun sun sun. We hiked Mount Galiano - 1 hour going up, 30 mins lingering at the

Homeward bound The day has come. Or rather, shall I say, the night has come for me to pack for the trip back home. HOME.... After all these times of packing up and going home, I still have this unsettled feeling in my gut, as if I know that I'm forgetting something, or that something wrong is going to happen... I wrote my Christmas cards. I had College lunch for the last time this year. I

It's Friday already! Aaaah! Thursday was a looong day: I went to London for an interview for my thesis. It was really good - 2.5 hours of chatting! I've learned a lot, more about my thesis topic and all the dynamics and difficulties I need to address, or at least mention. Sigh. After that interview, I lingered around in London, going into shops on Oxford Street. Even though it's a Thursday

Another week has gone by... So, what has happened? The question is more like what hasn't happened.... I gave my thesis seminar presentation on Tuesday. I suppose it went alright, but I'm mighty unsettled by the whole ordeal. Each week two students present the outline of their thesis in 15 mins or so, and this is followed by 45 mins of criticism, suggestion and general restructuring of the thesis

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset... I've been busy and slacking off at the same time for the last week or so. I really should be prepping for my seminar - I have 30 mins left! - but I feel like slacking off. Really rather unfortunate. Remembrance Day today. I stand in silence in honour of those who sacrificed their youth and lives for peace. After spending the last 4 weeks reading and studying

Oh, we had the annual "fire alarm drill" at the Annexe this morning, so that officials from College can simply trigger that thing at 7:55AM and gleefully watch us (and time us) as we scurry in a rather undignified manner out of our warm beds and into the deep-chill of the morning. Brasenose too. But poor Brasenose! They had a false alarm _already_ earlier in the day, at 4am! I heard it faintly

And then Woody called and we chatted on the phone. I was going to bring my bike down to the bike shop to get it fixed at 8:55am, but I was waaay to lazy to do that.

Where there's smoke, there's Steph trying to cook... I don't get it - why does my cooking all seem to emit more smoke than before? Where have I gone wrong? What have I been doing differently compared with last year? I have the fear of setting off the smoke detectors driven into my deepest psyche - the fear of hearing that dreadful buzzer going off and having the whole Annexe grumbling at me.

What a day... Oxford is hitting me with full force with its expectations, brilliance, and loneliness. It's not loneliness in the sense of being physically isolated from other people, but more like the blazened realization that everything is seriously your responsibility and that I have a fear of being lost in my own wallowing of self-doubt. I actually had a terrifically wonderful day today:

Back in Oxford It's COLD HERE!!!! It's dreary looking weather outside, chilly, heating is not quite strong enough inside my room.... aaaaah, yes - I'm back in Oxford. My new room is the same layout as my old room last year, so I pretty much just unpacked and stick my stuff back the same places as last year. Not much imagination, eh? Had a little crisis with network connections too, last night.

Being very lazy I think that heading says it all. Unbelievable how lazy I've become. Urgh. All the academic things I ought to be tackling right now: didn't touch it one bit. Nadda. Nothing. Still in Vancouver, and that also contributing to my panicky state. I don't feel like doing anything, b/c I'm not in the environment of feeling the need to do anything. I wake up late. I watch tv.

Secretly tapped onto the Net... classes have been incr. boring. don't know why. I went to visit the Int'l Crim. Court yesterday with one of the interns here at the Coalition. Unfortunately, on the way there, i suggested a travel route that took too long. We ended up needing to take a cab - SO expensive!!!!! For a measely 5 min trip, it costs us 16 euros!!!! Never again! The ICC offices

Le week-end I've completely used up my cellphone pre-paid time. That was 50 pounds all gone in a week!!! OK, no more cellphone. i think I have a few pence left, just enough to send a txt to Ox when I return in 2 weeks time! I've had a good weekend. Even though I slept late on Friday night (school ppl met at this club called "Crazy Pianos" and it's a jazz/rock/pop music club where there's 2

Seriously addicted to checking email! It's me again. I finally got to attend a trial at the int'l Tribunal of former Yugo. Woke up earlier today to catch the trial's 9am opening time. It featured a witness giving a testamony to the judges. This witness is a very prominent member of the Serbian govt but the bit I watched was the start of his questioning by the lawyer acting as the prosecutor. We

The Hague is crawling with lawyers.... Couldn't stay away from the internet, so here I am again hunched over the computer terminal... Classes are getting very technical, and it's hard to follow. Esp for the lectures in Fr, I really need to concentrate or else my mind just drifts peacefully away.. =) It's been rather damp these days and humid, and unfortunately you notice this moisture the most

Hijacked an Internet terminal in Centrum, the tourist area of The Hague It's a cool 21-odd degrees here, and it's always chilly in the mornings. I live in a basement suite with 3 other girls. 2 girls are from Paris, and the other one is from Montreal - it's French all day, all night! I think that I'm getting better at vocab and conversation already! Classes are ok - too legalistic and lawyer-y,

Back in Oxford So, I left sunny, warm, breezy, beach-y, beautiful Vancouver for this, an Oxford that is damp, rainy, dreary, cloudy and chilly?! Heeheee. It's nice to be back though. Ruth&Amande's new house is fantastic - I wished I lived there! I had a nice enjoyable evening with those two last night, enjoying the company of my former flatmates, cooking together and trying out Amande's

Food food food Ahhhh.... I've now had 3 bubble tea nights in a row. I'm beginning to feel bubble tea-ed out. =) Tonight I met up with most of my friends from high school. Sometimes it's difficult to realise that having this large group of friends all from high school is actually a rare thing these days - around 15 people were there tonight, and it was lots of laughter and fun around the tables.

Nothing much happening. Breathtaking view of the ocean, a fantastic BBQ at Agus's place, a sleepover at I fan's, shopping downtown, beach-side walks, strolling down streets.... Ahhhhh.... Nice summer... Oh, visited my cousins Samuel&Winnie's house this evening: NICE. See? Nothing too exciting. And I like it that way so far. =)

O Canada! I'm back in Vancouver! It's SO NICE HERE! The ocean is of a bluest blue; the mountains soar and the sun is so nice and warm... and the breeze is simply divine. It's also so nice to see Vancouver as a city and the people too. Toronto was stressful to me - I have no idea why. I was in Toronto for close to a week, and I was shuffled around from relative to relative, eating WAY too much

My last day in Oxford Funny how time flies when you don't have that much to do. Slow like molasses when you're in front of the TV, but moving around, changing from city to city, time really does go by quick. So after frantically packing my entire room up in the Annexe, and sticking a lot of stuff in storage (THANKS ALIA!), I was off to Amsterdam for a bit of touristy 'research'. I had to catch

Aussie blitz at Oxford My cousin Arthur was here the last three days and I had a very good time! He came to Ox by bus on Thursday night, and we had Indian food at India Gardens. Very good. And then we walked around a little bit, and had G&Ds icecream. Yum. Friday was our very full day. We punted from Madgalen Bridge. It took me a whole 15 minutes to remember how the bloody punt pole thing

School's done! Heehee, Tuesday was my last seminar of the year, and my classmates and I celebrated with a pinic lunch, followed by lots of chatting and drinks from 2:30pm to 2:30am! Gorgeous sun, sparkling river, great friends - how else does one need to celebrate the end of school and the start of summer? Yaah, weather in the UK has been fabulous, although today it has cooled down a bit. It

ESSAY IS DONE!!!!!! Whoohooo! There's a lot left to do in terms of 'regular' school work, but at least that's out of the way! This comic strip is pretty accurate.... working on my essay was fun in the end, and hopefully it helped me do some good work!

Final push Wow... it's 9:30PM and the sky is still bright with the final rays of the sun... The entire flat is dark... we turned off the corridor lights... both Ruth and I are working away at our computers with only our desklights on... Current mood: Feeling really good!

hot hot HOT! The weather here is steaming! HOT! It was at least 28 degrees in the sun today... good breeze though... We opened up Jamie's room and we're using it as The Lounge... Very pleasant... good sun, good breeze... The flat is hot but not oppressingly so. Keeping all the doors open help... :) also we pumped classical music throughout the whole flat... very nice surround sound effect...

MAJOR PANIC So guess what happened to me last night, at 11:33pm? My laptop suffered some kind of nervous breakdown and ERASED MY 7000-WORD ESSAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I noticed that it was running slower than before, so I quickly saved a copy of it. And then I continued typing and I realised that the programme was about to crash so I attempted to save and close Word. Word crashed and this dialogue box
