Before I forget

You see, I'm not very good at documenting my life at the moment. I tend to forget to appreciate the things I have in front of me until months later when I look back to see how blessed I was to be at that place or doing that thing at that time. I've been trying to do a better job at this by keeping my instagram up to date, but I thought I should compile a little bit about life in the first quarter of 2014 here too so here are some random stuffs from my life in Bristol lately. Since the year started I have been busy with school. I haven't been on a train at all so far because I didn't travel except on a field trip with my monastic culture class to visit four abbeys that used to be monasteries. The first 6 weeks of this year was rainy and the sun only came out a couple of weeks ago.

 I walk a lot because that's my only mode of transportation here.

The most snow we got this whole winter. There were plenty of rain though.

I am learning things like this this term.

Sunny day on Park street

Starting to take vitamin supplement every day, and nearing the end of my Malaysian milk tea supply (I still have milo though ^^)

Dinner with my housemate. Meals with multiple dishes like this is a luxury for a uni student.

Field trip. The archeology professor drove this land rover.

Singing medieval chants in a chapel.

Horse year.

A Cistercian Abbey at Abbey Dore.

Inside the old church.

Spring's arrival.

Summer dreaming

Some images from my past summers

From Chinatown to the Trafalgar Square (summer '13)

I'm finally getting around to organising my photos from August last year so here are some shots from around the Chinatown area in London. Prior to going to London, I did not realise that you could just walk from Chinatown to Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace, and have access to the broadway theatres all in the same area. It was pretty cool to see how close things were to each other. :)
