Yam Cha Day?

It's been a while since I had used the word 'Yam Cha' in UK. For those who don't understand its, meaning, it's actually a word used by fellow Malaysian for chatting :) Anyway, this came to my mind when I realized that the chatting sessions today are MUCH longer compare to the usual days in Leeds.

I had two Yam Cha sessions today. One of it was during the afternoon class break. My friend Edele and I was invited to Jing Han's house today. We packed our bread/sandwiches (whatever they call it) and ate in her place. On side note, her place was.. WOW! Try imagine staying in a castle like house (from the wall to the windows, doors, and also the design) and that was her place. Although her room doesn't have a castle theme (it will be scary to see this), it was actually like a hotel! Large windows, large bed, personal kitchen with high chair, personal study table.. Anyway we had our lunch there and start chatting. The details are confidential, of course (according to the ethics of APA), but the whole yam cha session just keep going on until 15 minutes before class, which was a bit rush. Overall this Yam Cha session was great and honestly I get to know my friends more than before through it. :)

Another Yam Cha session was at night. My brother's friends had booked an "appointment" with my brother to come at 11 pm to meet up (my bro's schedule was full due to hotel work). When they arrived, I was feeling kind of awkward. Why? Because.. we let them sit on the sofa and when they sat on it, it looks like some camp or something like they were forced to sit in lines (and yes I kept laughing inside me about that). However, this feeling faded as my bro came in and chat with them. The topics revolves around INTI life, friends in Engineering fields, basketball (they would never miss this) and life in Malaysia when they go back during summer holiday. Well the Yam Cha session was quite interesting although I just laugh whenever they say or do something funny.

Okay apart from that, I would like to share something that my friends and I found out about. Ever watched Winnie the Pooh? During our Yam Cha session, we were talking about it and we discovered something amazing! Do you all know that the main characters of Winnie the Pooh all have a certain psychological disorder?
Pooh Bear (Binge Eating Disorder)
Piglet (Generalised Anxiety Disorder)
Eeyore (Depression)
Tigger (Mania)
Rabbit (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

Okay, that was random... Anyway time to sleep :) Night~
