Leeds
So I've conquered my 4th city in England.
London many-a-times, Sheffield, Manchester and now Leeds! I don't know if Edinburgh counts since it's in Scotland so I left that out :P
Northern weather, as usual, was sucky. It was exactly like Sheffield but probably a bit worse. But it's hard to say since I stay in most of the time in Shef. I didn't wanna waste my Leeds trip by staying in so I tagged along with Lam and his friends out to the city center on a wet day.
His buddies were in from Bristol at the same time so the Leeds people were put in the position of tour guide. For a free tour, it wasn't so bad xD
Because it was CNY, most of their uni friends were in Leeds somehow.. I left on the day more people came. Wish I could stay but I probably don't wanna clog up the room space and I've got my own reunion dinner in London as well!
Resting outside Leeds Town Hall. Wasn't allowed to put this up on Facebook so I'll put it here. Without the third person behind ruining the photo, this would've been a really nice picture!
I remember how I used to be in charge of cooking pasta for parties back home. Being one of the few girls in a big group of guys tend to put you in that position. Surprisingly this trip, the guys did all the work! Given, I was the only girl and I was a guest but still I found it pretty impressive when they told me to get back in the room instead of the kitchen xD
Okay I've got something to note about this trip -surprisingly no crazy night out clubbing and coming home at 3am. We spent a lot of our time getting pissed in the rooms with wine and gin. We didn't mix them, but don't try that combination on the same night really.
My last night in Leeds was also the most fun despite just three of us (Lam, Mithran and myself) in the room. Full of insane things forever captured and never posted online, me screaming at Mithran about something I don't remember, and then him screaming back the same phrase and Lam screaming at us to shut up. It was a noisy night until we all passed out D:
Also had pillow talk regarding relationships and whatnots. I guess I've pretty much made up my mind. I'm not ready for commitment at all. Not since last year, not since ever. It's nice to be single and free of commitments, something I hardly appreciate. While other people like texting and being on the phone 24/7 talking about every single detail of their lives, I realized I don't need that. I have best friends, I have a blog and I have family. I don't mean I don't like having someone special around, but I'd rather enjoy how free I feel right now, rather than go around looking for Mr. Right in every corner of the street. He'll pop up one day. Love always comes when you're not looking for it, this is what I've always realized. Someone up there is actually being very nice to me, come to think about it. When something bad happens and I handle it well, something good always comes to compensate. So this time I'm gonna handle it well, and continue to juggle my degree and partying as I always do. And yes, I do juggle well.
Anyway, pretty much sums up to be an awesome trip! :D
