First wedding in the family
Yesterday evening my first cousin on my mom's side got married. Kevin is the oldest cousin of this side of the family and the first one to get married. The second oldest is me, which meant that there were a lot of 'looks' when the discussion fell on who was to be next. I tried to ignore them. It won't happen for quite a while and they should know better!Still when I saw Louise walking down the aisle I still got a prickle at the back of my eye. I guess at the end of the day its every girl's dream to get married and to be the one in the white dress. I don't deny I want it. Just not for now :)
To get back to the wedding, it was really quite cute and funny. Before the wedding Kevin looked very evidently nervous - which I thought was really cute, but when I actually thought about the fact that he was committing to a woman for the rest of his life, I got pretty nervous myself. Anyway I told him to relax, that she would turn up, and he said "its not that I am worried about, I'm worried about making a mess of this!" I told him "as if just make sure you say I do! And you'll be fine".
the whole 'I dos' went great, but a problem arose with the rings. In his haste to get it all right, Kevin grabbed the wrong hand. Louise sent furtive glances at Kevin trying to push the left hand at him but he seemed to ignore it. With one final shove louise thrust her left hand at Kevin. Kevin suddenly woke up to the fact that he was holding the wrong hand, and in an act of embarrassment tried to shove the ring in the first finger he got - the index finger! Once he realized that he now had the wrong finger he had to pull the ring out (it got jammed) and put it on the right finger. He was well and truly red by that time. It was quite hard keeping a straight face.
Still its a story they'll be telling their kids I'm sure. The reception after was great and I got to catch up with all my family - which I really loved.

Back to Malta
Well here i am - been home for a whole day now! Done nothing all day except laze around, watch tv, chat with family and friends....things i've wanted to do for so long! I have ten days of parties, catching up, weddings, lunches, dinners and drinks! I have every mind to enjoy it as much as possible.Its funny but even the feel of the place is different to edinburgh. Certain aspects start appearing, like here you look around and the general colour is yellow - citrus - meditterranean, with the bright blues and yellows. Even in the dead of winter you see these colours - they're striking. Edinburgh is Grey and whitish. Theres blue too, i was surprised at the number of blue skies i actually have been seeing, but it is a very pale blue to here.
I dont think i have preference to any right now - they are both beautiful in their own perspectives - but its amazing how colours can change the environment and the vibe of a place. It was the first thing i noticed on coming back home.

A thing of dreams
I know vivid dreams can be a nice thing, but when you desperately need your sleep due to studies and wake up with your head full of dreams it can be quite frustrating. Its funny how a vivid dream can remain in your head all day long, and throughout the day you keep getting flashbacks that make you remember more.And why is it that dreams are so weird? Ppl say dreams are your supressed subconscious, but if your subconcious thinks as weirdly as you dream then i can understand why its supressed. Honestly the things that happen in some of my dreams are beyond me.

First post :)
Ok here i goIt seems that this blogging stuff has become really big and after reading a couple of friends' blogs i realised this could be a really great way to keep in touch with ppl
I cant believe its already december and that i have been living in edinburgh for almost 4 months. Its been just one mad rush honestly. And now i am in my last few days of work, where my brain just refuses to work but u have to give it a nudge, push and jolt to keep working.
I have one assignment left, genetic algorithms, and it just does NOT want to work out. Sometimes i wonder why i am doing all this. I mean come on! Heidi doing an MSc in artificial intelligence is kinda funny in my mind.
I would have never thought i would be here.
