Sunday's trip to Chester was very much different from the Liverpool trip. Liverpool is a much developed city, comparable to Manchester. Chester, on the other hand, is a small town in Chesire which is really small but yet has an good old charm to the place. Maybe it's due to its Romanian history links that gave this place its heritage. It was on my journey to Chester and at Chester itself that I saw white snow piled up on the ground everywhere. It's the first time I see snow and it was amazing to see the place so pure and white.

Lessons started this week. I enjoyed the one-hour durations for lectures as there is a limit to our attention span and 45 minutes worth of lessons is just nice and digestible. I guess one thing that I've always taken for granted back in NUS was the accompany of friends. I guess when this privilege is not available, you start to appreciate the comfort zone that you are at. I'm exactly in that position right now. Sometimes I wish I can just approach random people in lectures and make new friends but it's just my inert nature that doesn't seem to make that happen. But at least one good thing that came out of there is that all I can do during lectures now is to pay attention to what the lecturer is teaching :p

Anw, today was the first day I experienced falling snow! It was really funny as we were still discussing whether it was snow initially but gradually it became so obvious that there was no denial that it was really falling snow. It was nice seeing snow fall but not that enjoyable to be in the open with an attire that cannot withstand the cold weather.

Really thank God for His guidance and plans for me through the past few days. Other than the above-mentioned events, I had a chance to sign up for a cheap school gym membership. Was very glad to be able to continue with my gym exercise, something which I didn't want to discontinue over here, so I found some familiarity and comfort when I went to the gym 2 days ago. That was something a testimony of how I can trust in Him in my plans throughout my experience here. Learning to continue with that trust and faith
