Some Pictures

Thank you for noticing the unimaginative title of this entry. It's the best I can do on short notice and while totally bereft of any chocolate.

Enjoy the pictures!

We had a housewarming party to commemorate us moving into 46 Spring Hill - but it was basically just an excuse for us to make Suresh cook some curry!

A group picture after our housewarming party - note all the empty plates on the table.

Lisa's birthday was celebrated by us going to a Chinese buffet restaurant for dinner. Not very imaginative, yes, but was it satisfying? Definitely so!

On Deepavali, we had another small party where we invited the folks from 351 Crookesmoor Road over. Suresh lent me his jippa - and now I'm thinking of buying one for myself!

"Run away!" seemed to be the battle cry of this groups of knights who were seen wandering the streets of Sheffield during the Medic's Pubcrawl. It's odd, really, because they carried the largest swords ever seen in the history of the pubcrawl.

With a few of Hiromi's coursemates in her house in Leeds. It was during this party that I ate raw fish for the first time in the UK - and I'm still alive!

After everyone gave up wondering why there wasn't any snowfall at all during Christmas, it snowed all of a sudden in February.

BUT we still had to attend lectures...

Our plans to make Hiromi's birthday celebration were derailed when she arrived early - but we improvised surprisingly well and with lots of acting (most of it was appallingly bad acting), we managed to pull it off! Many thanks to everyone who helped out!

My T50 'sister', Rex! Hers is red and mine is black, so all we got to do now is to find someone who owns a silver one, and the set will be complete!

Photographic evidence that racism does occur over here. Hahaha! I'm just joking - it's Anna giving TLC to Suresh, as usual. It seems that even he's not spared at a birthday party.

It was snowing really heavily during Hiromi's birthday party. The heavy snowfall actually caused travel disruptions all over the Midlands that day! Here's a picture of our nondescript backyard, looking a lot prettier covered in a thick layer of snow.

The snow actually made the party a lot more fun than I thought it would be - we started snowball fights with strangers out in the streets, had intense snowball fights among ourselves and we even made a snowman!

The morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year was spent eating dim sum in Zing Vaa, a Chinese Restaurant in the Moor.

Anna's actually NOT physically abusing Suresh in this picture! What a rare sight indeed. Maybe it's the dim sum?

P.S. - As my finals are just around the corner, I might not be updating for a while.
