Chap Goh Meh is tomorrow! Which will mark the end of Chinese New Year ... :(
Thinking back the CNY celebration we had makes me feel nostalgic!

Anyway, this post is going to be about Bath and Bristol. We had to wake up super early because the bus would leave at 7.30am. However, i slept thru the alarm which was set at 5 (i need an hour to get ready!) and woke up at 6. How smart. Nevertheless i managed to get ready in *ahem* 30 minutes and rushed to Kim's room to pack my stuff.

We (Me, Hann, Kim, Nicholas and Hehn) reached Bristol first. Its a totally different city than London. Less hectic, less cars, less bustle, fresher air etc. We were like tourists - wait, we actually are! ;P - taking pics along the way to the train station. Hence, the delay in reaching Bath.

Bath is a very beautiful and peaceful place. Love it! It felt good to relax and forget about all the stressful things in London. We met Boo and Caleb there and proceeded to a Chinese restaurant for buffet. The food was good! Yum yummm ... though i was quite full after that. We then went to the Roman Bath. Haha its a typical tourist attraction which is about rocks and the Romans. Boo, Kim and I did not have much interest so we 'walked horse saw flower' and took lots of pictures together ;)

Later we went to Boo's uni which is the University of Bath. I tell you, i sure am missing out A LOT on campus life by going to LSE which, pathetically, is made up of a few buildings without a proper gym (not that i need it anyway, but still!), gardens (grass especially) and importantly, buildings of each faculty. Like, Department of Accounting is only on a floor in the Old Building. Not only that, University of Bath has SUPERB sports facilities. No wonder its ranked no.2 for sports in the whole UK. I'll let the pictures do the talking later ;P

The next day we went to the Royal Crescent in Bath before going back to Bristol. We went to the Cliffton Suspension Bridge which is so gorgeous! The view from the hill was spectacular! Hahaha then there was a slide on the slope of the hill which most of us tried.

And OMG, this is interesting! Look what i've found from Wikipedia:

"The Clifton Suspension Bridge is well known as a suicide bridge.

Between 1974 and 1993, 127 people fell to their deaths from the bridge. In 1998 barriers were installed on the bridge to prevent people jumping. In the 4 years after installation this reduced the suicide rate from 8 deaths per year to 4. The bridge is fitted with plaques that advertise the number of The Samaritans.

In 1885, a 22 year old woman named Sarah Ann Henley survived a fall from the bridge when her billowing skirts acted as a parachute, and subsequently lived into her eighties."

No wonder we saw signs that said, "Need someone to talk to? Call XXXXXXXX!"

Oh and by the way, highlight of the trip: i walked straight into a pole in the bus! And yes, needless to remind me, i'm turning 20 this year. ARGH speaking of which, i feel so old now!

Some pics to share :) - sorry about the sequence of the photos though, they are all messed up!
