Unbelievable how time passes so quickly and I'll be moving out of hall this Saturday. I've been feeling quite down recently because my hall life is ending.
What i'll miss about hall life:
My hallmates.
Probably that's it, but also the one thing that has made my life in UK so enjoyable. Returning to hall everyday is like going back to a large family, and at meal times all of us share the day's stories, have cookouts during special occasions and once in a while, hall outings to watch movies or shopping. It's been amazing how everyone is so bonded in hall and also how everyone is simply so giving. I've never met a whole bunch of people who are all so generous and kind to one another. We have a "Canterburians" whatsapp group whereby everyone is active(: Even a facebook group to organise post-exam trips. I've been taking many photos of mealtimes and the hall environment just to grasp onto every last bit of memory I have of the hall.
My hall ID at the side of the tray, which unfortunately I recently just lost (thank god no replacement is needed). This is hall brunch at Commonwealth! 7 items. My favourite pastry hahaha and cheese & soy milk (only available weekends!)
My two lovely hallmates guanhao and willa(: This is at dinner!
I think that's beef and mushroom steak pie with spinach and cauliflower.
Eating an apple at every meal(: to fulfill my two fruits a day quota.
Hall breakfast 5 items only! with the super yummy cheese toast
Amanda's and Shu's creation. Take a banana and bread and make nutella banana bread!
very awesome salmon quiche, very rare that dinner tastes so good.
willa's favourite cheesecake! (and she doesnt like peas haha)
The chem eng hallmates:D guanhao's standard banana per meal and amanda's favourite strawberry cake!

jingwei and jianxiang bought IKEA meatballs! (the thing at the side was sauce hahaha)
brunch again (explains why so many items) i like toasting the baguette by cutting into hall and spreading the very awesome chunky peanut butter. and they often run out of cups thats why i use a bowl to hold mny soy bean milk instead lol. RHS bottom is this little cute pouch that sam gave me before i left. inside i store my hallkeys, oyster, hall card etc easirer to feel for when it's lost in my bag.
serving pizza bar!
