Yesterday, Margaret's parents and relatives prepared a really nice dinner for us! Her parents are very sweet, especially her mum, because she reminds me of my own mum! :)

I enjoyed my meal...i think i ate twice as much as the rest....Geeezz, and I even finished Ad's piece of chocolate cake...(Feride, we missed you loads...wish you were here, it's no fun when you're not around...you would have enjoyed every little bit of the food).

 

Today again, after the boxing classes at the gym (My legs went completely numb afterwards...arrrrghhhh), Margaret's mum prepared home-made macaroni and rabbit and meatballs. Once again, i gulped down the whole meal in just a few minutes... :P

I've been having really good food the past 3 days, Chinese dinner on Saturday night, Indian dinner on Sunday night, both in London, and Cyprian dinner here with Margaret's parents and today as well! I can feel my cheeks bursting out! LOL! I feel so blessed :)

 

Wish I had more pictures to post, but you can check on Adrien's blog (http://lostinlondon.canalblog.com/) which is always full of pics, funny and not so funny ones as well :P (Ad, hope you don't mind....I'm sure your blog counter is soon going to explode with the number of hits you will be having! LOL!)

 

 

 

 

This weekend, Adrien, Enis, Feride and I left for London for some sight-seeing...First stop was the Tate Gallery (http://www.tate.org.uk/modern). We spent at least a couple of hours looking at the different paintings, sculptures and other stuff. Then, we took the bus to Covent Garden, walked around, then headed for Leicester Square and had dinner at China town, then spent some time at Trocadero. On Sunday, we just hung around in the surroundings, then had an indian dinner near Gloucester Station, before heading back to Egham in the evening. Then, Feride and I watched 'Dracula', the 1992 version with Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins and Keanu Reeves.

 

Otherwise, the past week was fine, nothing really exciting apart from my box exercise class. I went to my first class last Tuesday evening at the gym...full of kicking, punching, jumping, etc...i had my dose! Phew! The funniest thing was that when i woke up the next day, i felt like an old lady and i couldnt move my arms and shoulders....arrrhhhh!!! That's the result of not doing sports for more than 2 years! Back in high school i had weekly self-defence classes. I can't wait for the next class again!!! hehe :)

 

Also, on Friday, i went to meet a childhood friend of mine, Robin, he studies at LSE, and I also had the chance to meet the mauritian society there. I was really glad to meet Adilah and Jessica, we were all in the same high school, in the Student Council...awww...the good old days. Too bad there isn't any Mauritian society here at Royal Holloway.

 

Oh and my mum sent me sweets from Mauritius today! Awww! I was really glad...They are called 'Coco Bars', it's a traditional philipino sweet. She usually makes them very often back home to give to friends and family...especially my little cousins who are very fond of them.

 

Another 3 weeks starting today for xmas holidays...Time flies...

Until my next blog entry,
Peace and love to all,
Sab:)

 

The past week has been like a rollercoaster...it has been really fast! It started with the usual lectures and I also had 2 assignments to submit, but hopefully, the second one is due this coming week, so, fortunately i'll have more time to polish it up :)

 

Otherwise, the weekend started with this Erasmus Society Gathering at the Penrose common room on Friday nite. We arrived there 30 mins before it was over! Duuhhhhh :( 

On Saturday morning, i took the train to southampton, going thru the train stations Waterloo, Alton, Winchester and finally Southampton Airport Parkway. Spent the afternoon with family, then in the evening, after a nice dinner at a chinese restaurant called 'Pearl Harbour', Dish took me out (http://www.bambuubar.com/index1.htm). I got to meet friends of Dish, who are all very friendly by the way!!!! Hey, I even had a free smirnoff!!! :)

 

Then, i spent the whole morning today sleeping until 12pm...ZZZZzzzzz...(old habits don't change!)

Another 4 weeks in RHUL for the xmas holidays...phew! I can't wait!

 

Dreams are meant to be lived...not to be forgotten (Parole du jour)

 

Peace and love always,

Sab:)

 

 

 

 

 

I met my QEC high school friends this weekend in London. Milly, Stephanie, Beatrice and Alexandra (Bea's friend). I took the train and the tube like a big girl!! It was my first time alone in the tube, and i was hoping i wouldnt be lost along the way! But i managed to get through it...I even got my oyster card (thanks to Milly!!!! :*), so that next time, it's so easier and practical to travel around London.

So, we met up at Leicester Square on Saturday afternoon and went for lunch at this really nice Japanese restaurant...after which we walked around, looking at the shops in China Town, on Oxford Street and on Regent Street and took pics at Picalladilly Circus. Despite the cold, we did really enjoy going around...Actually, it's been quite a while now that we haven't met up in Mauritius, i would say more than a year! And where do we meet? Surprisingly enough, someplace away from home....Geeezzzz....comme on dit "le hasard fait bien des choses"!

 

I was practically exhausted when we got back to Milly's apartment after having Chinese takeaway and I slept like a baby! (Hey Milly, sorry mone ronfler a soir!) This morning we took the bus to Camden town (li exactement couma dir la foire quatre bornes dan Moris)...Milly got really lovely shoes for a pretty bargain! You go girl!!! It's your birthday tomorrow... :) Cheers for that!

 

Hope we can do this again sometime girls.... allez Cato Verts!! To meme meilleur!

 

Lovely week to all...

Peace and love always,

It's been a month yesterday, the 7th Nov, that i've been here in this freezing cold weather...

Going through my pics with my roomates yesterday while I was showing them the mauritian beaches, etc..., it made me remember how i miss my little paradise island in the sun!!!!

 

I also do miss my family and friends! Even though i speak to them so often on msn, it obviously does not feel the same...sadly :( I really miss everyone, my family (my sis and my parents), my 2 little annoying cousins...hehe :P (miks and maps), my funny chacha devash, my pretty huggybee katherine, my accenture collegues (anoush, kadou - gro peter dou!, ashfaq, ashwin, arv, jo, yan, trish, jason, dario, james, darl, bhanu, ever, etc...) my ym4c mates, my Uni mates (kev, you, jules, sandy, etc..) my buddy andy, everyone else, and my doggy scooby!!! Phew, such a long list! hehe :) I also miss all my hugs! I LOVE hugs!! Big huge hugs!!! Did you know that a hug a day keeps the doctor away?? :()

 

Anyway, below are some pics with friends and family in Mauritius...just to let you know that you are always in my thoughts, even though sometimes, i may fail to write, or contact you, okie guys and gals??? Smile and cheer up! Someone loves you! Miss you like hell! Mwah!

 

The good thing is that i've made really good friends here, for which i am very grateful for! My roomates and also classmates Enis and Margaret; My other pretty roomate, Feride, we're always ready for a vodka kick, rite??? :* Party time! Yeah! LOL!; Adrien, James and Emma, with whom i can freely speak french whenever i feel like! :P And also the others Victor, Martina, who are also friendly mates to be around. And of course, my classmates, they can be so funny at times! Phew! :()

And I also have my 2 so wonderful cousins Shalu and Disha, who make me feel just so great about being here! I love you both like crazy! Mwah!

 

Love and peace to all,
S@b:)

I had no classes yesterday, so i went to Sainsbury's with Ad to do some shopping for dinner tonight in Runnymede, with everyone! We're gonna have a nice French meal, to be prepared by Ad...Im sure it's gonna be a dinner to remember! It's not everyday that a guy prepares de la haute french cuisine for us! hehehehe :)

 

Bon appetit a tous!

Until then, peace and love to all,

Yesterday night, we went to a party organised by the Student Union. Urban grooves, kinda like R & B music. Had loads of fun, as usual! :P

There was this group of students doing acrobatic moves on the floor, it was too coool to watch them do that! Geeezzz! Adrien also had a few friends from France here for a couple of days for holidays, so they joined us and we all had a great time together, it was a great opportunity for me to practice my poorly spoken French! LOL!

And before going to the SU, in fact, there was a party in our flat, on the last floor, so we went to say hi (zis pu couma dir montrer figir, lerla noune chal!!!).

 

Today i did practically nothing, it's saturday anyway, come on! Give me a break! LOL! We played cards (a new game i learnt from the Frenchies). Have some plans for tomorrow, but i seriously need to start giving more attention to the assignments which are due in the coming weeks....Il faut travailler dur pour avoir son pain! :)

 

Until then, peace and love to all...

 

 

Wednesday night was halloween night on campus...oh and by the way, that was first halloween....Geeeezzz! It was kinda cool, coz everyone had crazy costumes on...which is not a normal thing to see everyday! :)

Adrien and Enis had their black suits and tie, the Blues Brothers. Victor had his scream mask, which looked totally wicked on him! Feride had a really cooool kind of like devil's ears hairband which suited her perfectly, and last but not least, myself, Pocahontas (not very surprising, since everyone at Uni in Mauritius calls me Poca...short for Pocahontas...duuhhhhh!) See pics below, they are totally great...I thought i would be the only one with an american red indian outfit, but there was another girl who kind of like dressed up similarly, so I asked Adrien to take a pic of us both. More pics to be posted soon.....

 

Until then, peace and love to all...
