Gardening

is something that Id never done in my life. Best to say that I did not get a chance to do any gardening as I had never taken any responsibilities until I move out of home to Uni. Uni life is teaching me a lot outside studies too. From cleaning to moving houses ! Believe me or not, when I went to do work experience at a nursing home in sutton to make my personal statement look good for the medical school, I had a very shameful experience of that.....hold your breath.... I did not know how to toast bread in the toaster. And when one of the staff works there asked me to help with toasting bread I had no idea what to do with the toaster. I had to put all my shyness aside and ask her 'how do I toast it, could you show me first..'. There were some other experiences like this but I am not gonna tell you pps here ;)

Now, gardening....... yes, for the first time I have done gardening with my friends today and I am really proud about it. It was such a hard work still. Got some cuts on my hand too. The fact that we didn't do the garden last summer made it more hard. The weather was also not the perfect to do gardening but still enjoyed it.

It is snowing in london since the night I left from there (home) to Uni on Saturday. How annoying ! I was longing for snow for a while from the beginning of the winter but I am not there when it snows now. It is never gonna snow in Southampton and I am really jealous of everyone who is enjoying the snow in London. I want it to continue snowing because I am going home again in a week time so that I won't lose my chance :)

Ok, as of now, I am gonna have a nap cos I am really tired of the great gardening work today. Happy gardening and well done to myself :) Happy easter too off course !

Kumi : I know..that staff made it sure that she told as many ppl as she could about it in the nursing home ;)

Thena : Yes, whether I learned anything about looking after or not, it taught me how to use toaster :) We have to leave the house in the same condition as it was when we moved in if we want our deposit back. That's why gardening must have had done! lol.
