Reached Aberystwyth an hour late. Poor Jose was waiting for me in the bus stand in the cold and rain. Friday, we went to the Art Centre, walked around town and the museum. That night, we went to watch "The Importance of Being Earnest". Went up to Constitution Hill on Saturday. Didn't do much after. Sunday, went to church in the morning, stayed home in the afternoon chatting away. Late evening, we took a walk up to Pendinas to watch the sunset. It was beautiful. The wind was VERY strong i swore it could blow me off my feet, but Jose said not to worry. We saw a herd of cows eating and umm...defecating on our way up too. Haha. Had my birthday lunch and dinner, which was nice, my birthday song sang in Welsh too! Today, on the train now back to Aberystwyth from Machynlleth, quite a small town. I went to Celtica, a Celts museum. Very informative and lots to read. On the other hand, quite scary and dark. Probably because i was the only person there and then. Pretty sure i'm going back to Penzance tomorrow. Sadly, can't make it to Ireland. Very disappointing, oh well. It wasn't meant to be. Damn the bloody British weather and wind!
Yes, i came back to Penzance yesterday. Tired and of course delayed on the train again. Went to watch "Road To Perdition" again with Jose, Basil and Anne. Must admit i was half asleep since i saw the movie with Syeekin already. I spoke on the phone all day today! I miss my friends so much already :o(
Haven't been up to much lately. Just went out with Lisa and Marlies(from Austria) last week. Tonight, they are cooking and Austrian dinner for us. Last night, i made Shepherds Pie for everyone. Really delicious! Hehe. Last week, was interviewed by the college for the local newspaper, The Cornishman, Been thinking about going back everyday. I don't know how i feel about it. Happy but sad as well, really complicated. I guess i'll be sad cos i don't know if i'll ever see my host families here again or Jose. Not even sure whether i'll see Syeekin and Shiang again too. Well, maybe it won't be hard to see Syeekin and Shiang cos we're from the same country anyway. Gosh, another 20 hour flight! Not exactly what i'm looking forward to. I pray that everything goes ok.
My sore throat is really bad. It's so painful and to make things worse, i've got 2 ulcers in my mouth. Haven't been up to much over the weekend. Just went down to the rugby club last Saturday to watch the Pirates play against Nottingham. Just now, sat watching the documentary about Deeble and Stone on National Geographic. Quite interesting as i went to see one of their documentaries, and them on Crocodiles in Africa at The Bolitho School up the road.
Should give Syeekin a call soon to ask her how she's going home. Spoke to Ian on the phone just now. His mother passed away 2 weeks ago. Going to his house for tea this friday.
Bright sunny day
Through the park i went
Dogs chasing balls
Barking happily at their masters
Birds singing away
Making the day more wonderful
The sweet sound
Music to your ears
Squirrels eating their breakfasts
And playing chase up the tree
Cars passed
I crossed the road
Down through the town
Up the hill into church
Hello, how are you? - they asked
I take my books and down i sat
Waiting, waiting
Then, the clock struck half past
And everyone got up
Standing and praising the Lord
