Hawaii

So I'm gonna be on a plane tomorrow morning for Hawaii!!!!
I'm so excited!!!
So in under 24 hours, I'm gonna be in Hawaii!!
What else could be more exciting???

Apart from my 2nd eldest brother's wedding?
I don't know really.
I suppose just the fact that I'm going there is awesome.

Added that we are going snorkeling!!!
Does that sound cool or what?
And I'm going to take loads of pictures,
on my dad's pro-ish camera!!
Alright I'll leave it there now.

Hopefully I'll be able to update when in Hawaii,
if not,
then I'll update when I get back around the 8th Jan.

Tea ceremony

So the tea ceremony is finally over.
Yay.
Not that I did anything interesting.
Or even contributed in any way.
That's what happens when you're younger than the groom getting married.
Not that I'm not happy for my brother,
But the fact that everybody there was on his fathers' side of the family,
Hence I don't know them nor am I even related to them by blood.
Can you understand how I'm feeling???

And the brides' family decided to also participate in the tea ceremony.
And all the family on the grooms' side were whispering to each other.
And going on about how it wasn't appropriate...
Couldn't they just voice their opinions out loud,
instead of speaking in their native dialect???

The Banquet is tonight.
I'm not sure what to expect.
Seven courses though.
Don't even think we'll be able to get through half of them!!!

XMAS

So darlings.
It's still Christmas here where I am.
San Diego.

And just came back from Christmas dinner with the family.
Thai food.
Awesome.

So my brother's tea ceremony is tomorrow.
I'm still a little jet-lagged.
Which is bad.
Considering I kind of have to wake up early tomorrow.

And then Hawaii the day after?
Another three hours difference.
I'm gonna screw my inner clock so bad,
it's not funny.

But I'm enjoying my time so far.
And my brother's dogs are so adorable!!!
xD

Nothing more, nothing less...

I really don't know what to think.
Life in this moment in time.
At this certain place.
Where I feel kind of lost.
Holds no more meaning for me.
Even though.
I have things to look forward to.

But.
I.
Can't.
Be.
Bothered.
To.
Care.
Anymore.

so hyped it's not funny...

Well for those who don't know.
Or haven't been told.
I passed.
Both my piano and violin exams.
Amus.
Gosh.
My heart was beating so fast when my teacher called.
But now it's doing alright.
For someone who doesn't need red cordial to go on a high.

Now all I have to wait for is Wednesday.
When I'm going out with Uni friends.
And wait for everybody else to finish their exams.
xD

So I haven't posted in a while. Bite me.

Uni exams are finally over.
How good is that?
Downside: I have time to go out, but everybody else is now too busy studying for their exams...
What.
a.
drag.

But now there are less than 2 months until I go to America!!!
I'm so excited.
So have to save up for that awesome maxi dress I saw at Glen...
But I've never been good at saving... >.>

so excited...

So I finally received my new violin today!
The sounds are more mellow than my old violin.
And the absolutely awesome case that it came in...
I still can't get over the fact that I have a new violin...
Which reminds me that I need to name my new violin...

My old violin was Symphonia.
Maybe the new one should be called Symphonietta?
What do you guys think?

one month left...

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!
One more month to go until my Violin exam.
1/12 of a whole year.
Great.
Even less until exams come around...
Make that two weeks...
Am so not ready.
Then again, when am I ever?

Can't wait to watch Easy A!!!
Apparently hilarious and very good.
I want Friday to come sooner!!!
But I watched The Last Airbender yesterday.
Quite good even though less than 5 minutes of romantic scenes.
Which in a sense is alright by me.
Can't wait for the next one to come out...
Why is everything all of a sudden asian-style or even remotely asian-like???

hmmm...

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while since my laptop is dead! There's something wrong with it, and I am not happy...

But anyway, not much has actually happened the past few weeks. Watched more than a couple of movies, still watching a lot of dramas, 'learning' to not watch tele because I have nothing else to do... Just need to remind myself to get started on my essay and start studying...

And I have two more violin lessons with my teacher before I start teaching violin myself! Gimme that money!! xD But I won't get as much as I would have supposed to get since I'm going overseas this year, not that I'm complaining about going to Hawaii...

OMG! I saw this awesome maxi dress at Glen earlier this week, and I so want to buy it because I want to wear it when I go overseas later this year at my brother's wedding!!! But it's like $200+!!! (As most dresses usually are...) Hopefully it will go on sale or something like that soon, but I simply MUST HAVE IT!!! >.>

I have absolutely no idea where I want to go with my life.
Is that altogether bad?

How the hell?

So I had to work on Sunday.
And at the end of the day, I realised that I had these little cuts all over my hands, and I do not remember how I got them, or even when I got them...
Simply did not feel it when I did get the cuts...
Must have been too absorbed in working...
Have you ever been through that?

So I have a career assignment due on Friday.
It's quite stupid really, well I think it's stupid, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.
We have to write about a STAR, (Situation, Task, Action, Result) using an experience we have undergone this past year or so.
And we have to draw a flow diagram showing what we want to be when we grow up and show how we are going to reach that...

How about I want to be an angel when I grow up, do all these good things to help the world, die, and looking back realise that everything I did when I was alive was now useless???

Eat Me? - Resplendence at Amaranth

Amaranth was absolutely awesome. Course nobody was really listening to us.
And the keyboard kept on moving when I was playing, so...
Probably the only other people who were listening to us and applauded were the other musicians...
But the cosplays were pretty good. Two random ninjas and I swear they were wearing like black shirts on their heads... but they were hilarious.
Suiseiseki? from Rozen Maiden... The Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland...
Quite a few 'wedding' dresses as well. They were all in white, so what do you think?

Not to mention that someone made an absolutely AWESOME AND STUNNING ballgown. Just jaw-dropping and mind-blowing.
I wish I was able to make something like that...

Isn't the chocolate awesome? I don't know if I will eat it though, since it looks so nice...
Though it desperately wants to be eaten...

Ready or not?

I totally forgot that voting was this Saturday...
Is that a bad thing?
With all the crap stuff our government has done lately?
Why should I even bother voting for a party when all they do is mess up this country even more?
Then again, why am I caring about politics?
It has never even been my thing...
I mean, it's not like my vote actually makes much of a difference right?
(And here they say that every vote counts... >.>)

Teh.

Amaranth

Listened to Amaranth by Nightwish like four times in a row last night.
I could listen to it again and again right now as well...
Well, it is addicting.
And since I already know the chords...

But I downloaded the other songs that we, Resplendence, are playing at Amaranth Ball.
I'm and so excited and can't wait for Thursday to come...
But I need to practice more...
Why are the songs that we are performing so nice???

By the way, can you believe that I can now play all of my piano pieces by memory???

...

I really can't be bothered anymore.
Not with a test this week and an assignment due on Friday. Though the assignment is v. easy...
What is it with life that bores me?

Watched the first half of Alexander yesterday.
Ideas, ideas, ideas...
But should I give up writing stories since I can never seem to finish them???

Hell Girl

So I watched Hell Girl. Again. I'm sorry if I can't help it because it is so good. True that it is a rather sad story, especially at the end, and what a coincidence! But I like it. Added to that that I have the DVD, so I can watch it whenever I want to... xD



I think I might watch it again... >.>

extraordinarily excited...

So I watched St. Trinian's II: The Legend of Fritton's Gold. It's awesome.

Can't wait for St. Trinian's III to come out... xP

So it's already the third week of Uni. How time flies. When you're having fun. Which I am not. Unfortunately, it is already near the end of July. Five more months until I am going to America/Hawaii. And attending his wedding. I wonder what the weather will be like in Hawaii. Warm? Humid? Windy? or cold? I don't know, nor do I particularly care at the moment. But anyway, I will check it up closer to that date.

However I will have to get through exams first. Including my violin exam. So over exams already, and I haven't even had any tests of the sort yet...

But I have made a resolution that I will concentrate this semester and try and improve my final results. Not that it's been much use so far since again just like when I first started Uni, it's all revision with not a lot of new stuff. And I couldn't be bothered buying the new textbooks either. $150 for a textbook that isn't even more than 2cm thick!! No way will I buy it. I'll just simply borrow each week from the library. Which reminds me to go put it on hold...

So sitting through two hours of anecdotes and a topic that you have already learnt before really sums up the interesting life I have at Uni. Even though the lecturer is a really nice guy. But his lame attempts at jokes don't really cut it. Especially if nobody realises and understands what he is talking about. Therefore nobody laughs, and there is an awkward silence in which everyone is like 'OMG, I should really laugh', but there is simply nothing at all to laugh about because it isn't funny at all!!!

But altogether, Uni isn't that bad. Apart from three Fridays where I have a practical from 2-5pm. So I do absolutely nothing in the morning just to go to Uni for a prac. Stupid really... But I guess it's alright since it's only for three Fridays of my life, and every other Friday is a day off. xP

So lately I haven't been reading manga lately. Which is a first. Nor have I been on gaia much either, even though now at Uni I have 5GB of internet usage, compared to the previous 1.25GB, and the search engines such as google and yahoo are free. So yes. Enjoying it so far. Been downloading songs. Quite a couple. At the moment, 40 songs within two days. I am so excited about it!!!

But for now, hopefully I will have much more interesting stuff to talk about next time I post...

Uni

So it's the first day of Uni for me today. At this very moment. Even though I was supposed to start on Monday. Oops.

I am quite tired at the moment. Maybe because the lecturer that I have right now has a habit of providing anecdotes as he goes through the lecture. And also maybe because it's a two hour lecture...

Two two hour lectures on Wednesday. But Fridays are free, which is good. I suppose. I should probably focus now, but the lecture just started and I don't feel like listening. Maybe I will go read manga... xD

Yay!

So I finally finished watching 'My Girl', and I must say, the ending is a little anti-climatic. But it was alright anyway. And now I am watching 'You're Beautiful'. I started it a while ago, and watched like 5 episodes, but I will try and make it through the whole drama this time. Since someone I know thought that it was really good...

And the start of Uni. Semester Two. Who is ready for all of this? Definitely not me. I don't want to go back!!

Short post. I don't really care. Nothing much had happened the past few days in this decidedly boring life of mine... *sigh*

Let's see...

It is fairly sad what people can come up with when they are all alone and doing nothing in particular. Especially if they are writing stories.

So I have started attempting to write stories in Chinese. Actual Chinese. Except it is all in simplified... so it takes me a little bit longer to find a character especially when I forget that it has a simplified character and I totally overlook it. SOMEONE FIND ME A PROGRAM TO DOWNLOAD SO I CAN TYPE IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE!!!

I have finally decided to watch 'My Girl' all the way to the end. I started it so many times that even I don't remember exactly how many times, but I have made the resolution to start it and finish it. To the end. However, I realised that I now have this thing against love triangles, or even love squares. They kind of put me off watching a drama. It just happens that if I realise that there is a love triangle present in the drama, I just don't feel like watching the drama anymore. Maybe because they are all simply to clichéd...

OMG!!

So I watched The Karate Kid yesterday. It is absolutely fantastic!! And the tournament is simply awesome. The moves are simply amazing!! Halfway through, I was like, 'Wait, what did he just do?' xP lol. I guess the beginning is a bit slow because I was like where is the part where he starts learning kung fu, but they finally got there. And when they did, I was so glad. But you have to watch it if you haven't watched it yet... I'm considering watching it again. Make my dad watch it as an excuse to watch it again... xD

So a week and a bit until my exam results come out. I'm freaked out. Kinda. I don't even know what I am feeling at the moment. Just happy that I am finally able to access internet on my laptop, since I am at my Uncle's place scabbing his internet... >.> Not that he minds... :)

Bought quite a bit yesterday as well. Spending $30 on Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom cream was quite worth it. Especially if I finish using it in approximately three years. Which accounts to $10 each year. xD

Can't wait to see everybody really really soon!!

SoEul SoEul SoEul...

I finished watching Boys Over Flowers the Korean version. It was soooooo good. If you want to hear this awesome saxophone instrumental, go here, it's played by the guy down there in the drama:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9i_Tkx8VLs
It's from the drama, and I simply can't believe that So Yi Jung and Chu Ga Eul don't ever kiss throughout the drama!! Well there was a nearly kiss scene, but the director suddenly decided to place a phone call just as they are about to kiss! I mean seriously, does a coincidence like that actually ever happen in real life? But I guess it's alright because they do get together in the end. SoEul forever!!



Aren't they simply adorable together? Kim Bum & Kim So-Eun are perfect for each other!! (If you hadn't guessed by now, I'm a little obsessed with SoEul... xP)






























Look what I found!! Boys Over Flowers, from left to right:
The manga, the Taiwanese version, the Japanese version and last but not least, my personal favourites the Korean version of F4!!!

too much...

So much stuff has been going on lately. Not to mention the end of exams and holidays!! Yes, you all know what this means... Going out, watching movies, buying a lot of stuff... >.> Except for the fact that I'll be broke before Uni starts again. However, now that exams are over, it is time to go out and catch up with friends!!! So many movies to watch, so much catching up to do, so little time to do all of it... xD

Finally got the dates for when I am going to America. Leaving December 24th and coming back February 6th. Or 8th. I don't remember. Around then anyway. I still can't wait to spend my birthday in Hawaii!!! And seeing all my relatives!! But isn't it awesome???

My dad is coming back from America early. Next Monday in fact. Too bad that I won't have the computer to myself for another extra month, and thus less time to go on the internet. Annoying me slightly, but I will have to survive.

I watched the Prince of Persia on Monday. It is awesome. People have so got to see it. And just so people know, such good lolly sales at 'Sweet As' at Shoppingtown. *stocks up on chocolate* hehe. But then I will get fat... *sniffles*

spare me.

Please people if I ever have a 9am exam again shoot me. Just because bloody uni decides to have the exams in the city, and we all know what peak hour traffic is like, I had to take public to my exam today. So I woke up at 6:30am. Which made me completely stoned at 1pm. And I have had a slight headache since lunch. Which does make me kind of irritated.

But I guess my first exam. Alright. Freaked out a little because I thought I wouldn't be able to find where the exam place was, but just follow the people in t-shirts holding signs, and follow all those familiar faces, which are also as blank as yours! xD I'm joking.

But then I realised we were allowed to take food in, and we were 'encouraged' to take our valuables in with us, because there have been reports of theft. Therefore I must remind myself not to bring too many valuables with me in the first place...

Two more exams to go. I'm totally freaked out for Chem though...

totally unfair...

My dad is coming home from America early! And that means that he isn't going to China after all. Poo. And I so wanted him to by 'cheap' stuff for me in China. Hmph.

So my first exam tomorrow. Omg, why am I blogging instead of studying then?

HBS109 : Human Structure and Function
All multiple choice.
2 hours.
9am start.

SBC131 : Principles of Chemistry.
*gotta charge my calculator batteries...
Simple chemistry questions. Using your brain that is...
2 hours.
6pm start.

SBB111 : Cells and Genes aka. Biology
All multiple choice.
3 hours.
6pm start.

Oh dear, what time shall I get home by???

confusing...

Well today may well be my last day spent at Deakin University as a student, as I have kind of decided that I want to apply for mid-year application to Melbourne University for Bachelor of Science. But I'm still not sure if I am going to go ahead with this plan, nor do I know if my parents will approve. Sure, my mum wants me to go to either Melbourne or Monash, but Monash isn't offering mid-year applications for the course I want to do... I most likely can only apply for the said course above. Should I apply???

Well I received an email a few days ago from my dad, saying that he might be home early from America and I was simply devastated. I really want the home computer (and internet) all to myself for another two months... xP

I have realised a lot of things these past few days. Not that I'm going to tell you. xD But at the moment, I have just realised that I feel like having hot chips...

Kahoko Hino + Len Tsukimori... >.<

Yes...

So, exams are coming up soon. Next week in fact. And I don't feel that I am prepared for them, though it is mostly all stuff that I have already learnt in IB. To tell the truth, I'm finding it a bit weird, since I realised that most of the stuff I have learnt so far this half year is all revision, except there are certain sections in which they go into far more detail than in IB.

OMG! Why didn't I do HL Chem? Then I wouldn't have to worry about some of the Chem stuff would I? But then I would most likely to have failed Chem, and caused my final result to fall even more. Then who knows where I would be???

But I went shopping again for dramas late last week. It felt good. And I bought Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles II and two movies. Can you believe that one of the movies was only $3??? I couldn't believe it, but I still haven't watched it yet. I also have my eye on the Claymore Part II. But as written, it is Part II, so I don't know which episode it starts with.

I should really go study now. Like hardcore cram. But it's not like it would enter into my brain such that I would remember it the next day... I'm finding it especially hard to keep things in my brain for more than a few days at a time.

AND WHY DOES THE EXAM HAVE TO BE IN THE CITY??? AND SO EARLY IN THE MORNING AND SO LATE AT NIGHT??? TRAFFIC IN THE MORNING, AND SIMPLY TOO LATE TO TAKE THE BUS HOME WITHOUT BEING AFRAID OF BUMS... AND PEOPLE WITH WEAPONS...

Oh well, I will be look forward to seeing people soon and partying!!! (and shopping, for all you shopaholics out there xD)

hahaha

Chemistry pracs are hilarious. We have so much fun in them, since we're all girls so it feels like school all over again.

A few days ago, I bought four more dramas. Two Korean and two Taiwan. I'm currently 2/3 through one of the Taiwanese dramas, and I must say that it is awesome! 霹靂MIT is actually quite good. And it's quite cute as well. Just like Black Sugar Macchiato, because 鬼鬼 really is cute. And the fact that she acts as a girl with a big crush on the guy in both dramas is really incredible. Chasing them relentlessly until she slowly creeps into their 'cold' hearts and they fall in love with her. Just incredible... xD So I'll leave you with these pics...

霹靂MIT

















黑糖瑪奇朵

So...

Another week or so has passed uneventfully. Apart from work yesterday, so much stuff to unpack and place on the shelves, I got a little sick of it. At least I wasn't at home with nothing to do other than spend it in front of the computer and eating non-stop.

I realised last week that my hair is actually really long. And I have heaps of split ends, which aren't good at all. Considering that I haven't cut my hair in a year and a half, and I curled it, which turned my hair all dry, it's actually in quite a good condition. And it's not that thick than it would be if my hair had been permanently straightened. So I'm considering whether or not to curl it again, or permanently straightening it, or just leaving it...

Two more weeks until exams. I'm kind of prepared yet at the same time not prepared. Do you understand what I am going through???

超開心!!

Well it's not actually much that's making me happy right now, but for the fact that I have the whole house to myself today. And yesterday as well.

Added to that, the fact that a few days ago I bought 4 new dramas! Two Korean dramas and two Taiwanese dramas. Not to mention the fact that they were only $5 each! So I started watching one of the Korean dramas, (Coffee Prince) and I only have three more episodes of one of the Taiwanese dramas, (Black Sugar Macchiato). The Taiwanese drama is so adorable! The interactions between two of the characters is indeed quite cute and intriguing. xD But enough about dramas. For now. >.>

Well exam timetables came out, and my friends and I realised that out exams are in the city. But I don't finish until the 17th of June, and just so you know, it's a three hour exams which starts at 6pm!! But my friend and I were like 'let's go clubbing after to celebrate end of exams!' So yes, I'll have to invite people and consider where we shall go. Any ideas people?

*croak*

Still have a sore throat, and my nose is blocked, but I'll survive.

So took my dad to the airport yesterday morning. Then mum decided she was too tired and forced me to go work for her. So I went to work in her stead. However, one plus out of this is that I will get paid, not her and she also told me, that when after my brother gets married, I can probably spend my birthday in Hawaii, and then we'll to to Chicago to spend some time with family. And it'll be snowing there when we go in January!! And she also said that if there was time before Uni started, then we could also go to Taiwan. AWESOME!

But nothing has been finalised yet, so I guess I'll just have to hope for the best.

Sick... but some good news.

So I have a sore throat. And it's all thanks to my mum. And the fact that I have had a slight headache everyday for the past three days. I don't know what's wrong with me. But I'm not feeling that tired at the moment, nor am I feeling sleepy. I can't wait until tomorrow when I can sleep in and recuperate. BUT SOMEONE GIVE ME STREPSILS!!!

Good news. My second brother, Benjamin, is getting married early next year. According to my mum, he's getting married on the 1st of January (New Year!) in Hawaii. Does that mean that I will be spending New Year in Hawaii??? That would be AWESOME! And if we stay a few more days to sight-see, then that would mean that I would possibly also spend my birthday in Hawaii! (That would make an absolutely wonderful birthday present...)

But some other news, neither good nor bad, but rather sad. My dad leaves for America this Sunday for America. And this time he'll be away for three months. That's a rather long time isn't it? But I guess he deserves it. And he'll be going to China, so he can buys lots of stuff back for me!! xP I'm going to make sure that he does, so he won't forget.

I suppose I should concentrate on the lecture now. But I already understand Mendelian Genetics!! xD

Criminal Activity?

So, I did something rather illegal last night. Though I wasn't breaking into someone's house but rather getting of the property to go home... So climbing over someone's front gate if you were exiting the property wouldn't exactly be defined as criminal activity yea?

Well it wasn't exactly our fault that the gate was electronically/wirelessly activated, and if only the 'Man of the House' hadn't just 'seemed' to forgotten about us and to remember to open the front gate so that we could exit the property... Maybe they were too busy eating frozen pizza to remember us. Probably when he did, they would have realized that we went over the gate... >.> oh dear, what if they ask me when I next see them about how I exited yesterday??? Hmmm... I'll have to think about that.

But playing Jewish music is actually quite fun. Though it is a little hard at times, especially when you have to speed up throughout the piece and for like 3/4 of the last page you have a million semi-quavers... Though I must say that it is rather enjoyable. And the view is awesome, like, you can see like a view of the city and the Dandenongs on the other side. And last night, when the lights were all on in the city and the houses in the suburbs, pretty!!

Okay, I should go study for my Bio mid-semester test now...

Kyou Kara Maou

Isn't it adorable?

So, what has happened of late? Nothing much actually. Apart from printing out loads of piano music by Yiruma,getting laid back because don't have much to do...

OMG OMG OMG!!! No assignments or mid-semester test for Chem!!! God, I love my lecturer now... xD Only one assignment due for Biology, and a mid-semester test for Biology and Human Structure And Function and then I have nothing else to study for! I'm loving my course right now...

And of course the fact that because I have a Human Structure and Function mid-semester test next Wednesday, I don't have any of those lectures/tutorials/practicals for that subject for a whole week!!! SCORE!! xP

Well I hope everyone is enjoying life because I certainly am, on my new laptop with wireless connection so when I go to uni I don't have to find a computer to log onto the internet with. And no restrictions with what websites I can or can't go on. Except MSN seems to be blocked. Or something like that. But I'll get over it. Hopefully soon.

I'm actually quite over the thrill of being at uni. Maybe because I was looking at my timetable and realised that if I really did have every lecture/tutorial/practical scheduled on my timetable within a week, it all adds up to 18 hours only. Hmm...

Well I'm off this post on to read some manga, which I can do without any guilt here at Uni because I'm not 'wasting the internet' at home, according to my dad. But now that I have something to do in lectures, I will try and post as much as possible now.

So I haven't blogged in a while. Bite me.

Yes. It has come to this again. The time where one has nothing else to do because they have already done all that they needed to do and thus blog for no other apparent reason other than to waste some time.

Well not really but oh well. Some survive on blogging. Others... just... blog. Every now and then. When something interesting comes up. But nothing interesting has come up in my life as of yet. Hopefully something will come along and break this endless cycle of waking up, going to uni, suffering through lectures/practicals/tutorials, going home, eat, sleep. *Repeat cycle for the other weekdays*

And not to account for the weekends in which I have to work because my wonderful mother has decided to go to Hong Kong for a month, leaving me to work in her stead. Great. But I guess it's alright. Except for the part where people ask for discounts. I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANY DISCOUNT BECAUSE I CANNOT TAKE ANY INITIATIVE IN THIS MATTER!! So get over it and stop asking me. And frankly, the eftpos machine has something against me. As I have something against it. Doesn't even work half the time. Though when it does, everyone is happy. INCLUDING ME!! xD

So uni has started. Finally. Why did I start a whole week later than everyone else? So when I was still enjoying my o'week everybody was already stressing out about assessments etc. I'm so laid back at the moment, it's not good for me. Yes, the lecturers are kind of boring, (maybe due to the fact that what we're learning at the moment is stuff already learnt in Year 11/12), but does someone want to explain the meaning of orbitals to me? WHY DIDN'T I CHOOSE HL CHEM??? Oh yes, that's right, I really suck at chem... >.>

But I tell you, once I spent the whole chem lecture texting, another the whole time on facebook, the rest? Sleeping of course, what else? Met a few people whom I haven't seen in quite a while, been surprised by others that seemed to creep up on me, met new friends that are quite awesome, wondered why there are so many people in the library nowadays that you can't find a computer just to check your email on...

But I guess that's why you have laptops/netbooks. And I am getting one. Soon hopefully. I don't know if I'm going to buy it here or in Hong Kong. Guess which one is cheaper will win. ASIAN CHEAPO TO THE MAX!!

Okay this post is quite long. Hmmmm. Maybe making up for the lack of recent posts in the past month. But as I have written before, nothing interesting has happened of late in my sad sad life, so you'll just have to excuse this silence of mine.
























Bye.

So...

Anyway, to all the asians out there, Happy Chinese New Year, and to the whole world, Happy Valentines' Day. That's if you have a spouse or are married etc. You get the point.

So I had to work today. 10am-5pm. It wasn't that bad, except for the fact that it was freezing in the morning and as lunchtime came around it became unbearably hot. Added to that the fact that the owner didn't seem to want to turn on the air-con. Which, may I add doesn't do much difference to the temperature either way if it is on or off. And then he made me vacuum the whole shop. When he started vacuuming first, then got lazy and told me to finish. >.> But I guess it wasn't so bad, since there was a lady opposite the door having a sausage sizzle. Though she was sitting down most of the time, or talking on the phone. But I don't care anymore.

So, I'm currently at my aunt's house, on my uncle's laptop. Funny he doesn't have a computer, but only two laptops. We're obviously celebrating Chinese New Year. With my cousin and his wife. Haven't seen them for a while, and they haven't changed much. Well I wouldn't exactly know since I haven't seen them for a while, nor talked to them. But I talked a little bit to my other cousin who is currently in HK. Well I think he is. He might be on holiday somewhere with his girlfriend. But I guess that I am glad that I even managed to talked to him. And see my relatives, whom if it wasn't clear enough, I haven't seen in a while.

But enough of happiness and I hope everybody has enjoyed their day, and the days yet to come. I know I will enjoy working all by myself tomorrow... T_T

I give up.

It's no use arguing with parents. They simply don't get it. Especially if you're the same gender as them.

Now I have to work on Valentine's Day/Chinese New Year. The only plus? I get paid. Hmph. The perils of working on holidays...

Dedications

Well. Now what. I guess I will do what I intended to do. Thank people for their lovely pressies. xD

Viv: Awesome book!! And you know what? I can use it for any year. xP Watch out for any pranks that I might play on you!! hehe.
Vi: You told me that I had to like your present, and I do. Thanks for the mug!
Em: Unfortunately, I may go on a St. Trinian's stampede now... hmmm. What should I attempt to steal???
Ying: Thanks for the accessories. As expected of you, but you do realise that the earrings are not violins as I originally supposed, but cellos... and not to embarass you or anything, the price tag on the necklace was still attached. But I attempted not to look at it. xD
Joanne + Clare + Elaine: Thanks for the beautiful shoes. Even though they are a bit small. But at least I can wear them. And thanks to Wensi's advice, they now fit perfectly.
Wensi: Purple huh? Now at least I can add some colour to the majority of my dresses, which are either black or white.
Gwen: Thanks for coming even though you only knew two days before, and thanks for the diary and pen. (And here Viv, I am thankful that you did not by me the 2010 Diary of Benrik etc. because I wouldn't have like to have two diaries to use and not know which one I would like to use...)
Kristen: I really like the bangle. And the scarf is nice and warm. And fuzzy. ^^
Glor: Awesome digital photo frame. It tried it out the day after, and I tell you, even my dad is envious.
Fiona + Kath: The bag is beautiful, and very useful because I don't have any white bags to use. So thank you guys.
Jenny: Shall I stab you soon??? xD
Pricilla: Very cute silver bag. Almost a clutch but not really. Now I have to figure out how I'm oging to fit my 'necessities' in it.
Joan: Fruit Champagne huh? Well I guess that I am 18 and of legal age to drink, but I've decided that I'll only bring it out on a special occasion, which will come up soon hopefully.
Joey: Chocolate. Mmmmmm... Except that I tell you that my mum won't like this present. hehe.
Linh + Steph: I guess it was enough that you guys managed to show up. Late.

But I hope everybody enjoyed themselves and the food. I know a few people who enjoyed the food... But here it is. Thank you to all my friends who managed to make it, but thank you to all those that didn't make it who wished Em and me very happy birthdays. So yes. This it all for now.

[EDIT] Gloria takes such a long time in the shower and to get dressed. Seriously. jkjk. I'm at her place right now waiting to go to BH... xD

Life in General? or Perspectives of Life?

So much has happened since last week. Results, 18th, work, shopping, movie, party, getting my ears pierced, disgustingly hot temperatures. It's no wonder that I feel really tired and sick of waking up more than usual. I guess I need more sleep...

But I made jelly! Three-layered too! (nods in self-satisfaction) Three different colours and three different flavours. And it tastes good too. xD

Life seems to be passing slowly at the moment. Or is the fact that so much has been on. Then soon it will be that life will be passing by so fleetingly, that before I know it, it'll be time to look back and reflect yet again.

But just to thank all those awesome and wonderful friends who managed to attend Em and my Dinner party, really enjoyed it (hope everybody had fun) and thank for all the beautiful presents. I'll put up specialized thanks to everybody later, but I have to go now, so that's it for now.
