the tounge is a great organ

When was the last time I've posted a picture post? ...Christmas day with my freaky eyes and piece of paper saying "Merry Christmas *cute smiley face*"? Wow, that's pretty long innit. I, myself, like posts with a couple of pictures to cheer the post up. (imagine me saying this sentence, I know the "myself" was redundant) Visual and audio are good! :D

Here are some good stuff:

YUMMO!

Can't tell what it is? I'll give you some flash.

Doesn't look really appetising doesn't it. :(

It's oven-baked BBQ chicken + roasted potato marinated with olive oil and basil. Oh yea, and honey mushroom (?!!). Yea, there are bits of mushroom there.

Yummo! :D (ignore the mismatched fork and knife)

My pride and joy! Since I invested quite a bit of effort in this. Gathering the ingredients, marinating and baking. Fine, probably doesn't sound very effort-ful but I definitely put more effort than normal for this dinner! No event whatsoever, I just feel like I should improve on my culinary and cleaning skills as a back-up just in case my professional career won't take off as well as I'd expect it to... :P

Anyway, it could have tasted really, really good if I baked it ~15 minutes (out of 80) less. I am not boasting, btw. The meat was slighty dry and the skin was charred. The skin is like the best part of the chicken. :(

I'm still glad that the potato and mushroom came out well. However, I will have to remember to slide in the 2 earlier so that everthing will be well done (or close to that). :D

Slept in for today and did a bit of shopping. I thought I should reward myself for finishing my stats homework last night! Woot. One less assignment to rush at the 11th hour. The wireless internet is still horrendous as I type this. Thank goodness my sister suggested me to use the cable instead. Yea, she just reminded me that there's a cable behind her table. Oh well, better late than never.

Egawd, internet is still crappy even with cable. Why is everything so erratic nowadays... :(

I ♥ the sweetest reminder that I got a while ago. Tehee! It starts with 8! :D

P.S.: Mila's birthday is coming in exactly a month!! :P

a bit about Friday night

I'm actually staying up to post an entry, omg.

Anyway, just wanted to remind myself how much I enjoyed tonight. It was utterly breathtaking! I literally had to gasp for air as I move from laughter to scream, repeat. Gosh, I can't remember the last time I went to a haunted house and had so much fun! I mean, the ones here that I tried were bogus bogus haunted house i.e. where's the scary factor? (as in you know, fake haunted house but it's a fake one at that) Oh wait, the previous best haunted house experience was while I was in Japan. It wasn't a really scary one but the company I had were a whole bunch of witless girls including myself. The type of company really makes a whole lot of difference! :)

I shall wait for the group picture to be uploaded before I make an entry regarding this! That is if I were to remember...

Oh yea, Happy Halloween everyone! :D

&...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL TAY KAI YUE!
You definitely won't be reading this but, hey, it'll count for the future right? :D

nocturnal maybe?

Hello all!

I caught the Time Traveller's Wife today with ze boyfriend. It was alright. The storyline was cut short, as always with every other movies based on novels. Nonetheless, it's mildly a tear-jerker and stimulating. I remember the novel is much, much more moving and romantic. It's wonderful how books are so limitless in expressing and telling the whole story, how the words inside are strung together to stimulate our senses, how it allows us to be in the characters' shoes. I like reading! It's weird to be saying this but most of the books I read actually made me feel special. I don't know if any of you ever felt the same way but whenever I finish a book (good one with a satisfying ending), I feel soothingly merry and carefree. It lingers for quite some time too. I feel like a freak now -_-

Tomorrow's Shaun's birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 He's gna be 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Same age as me finally :D I'm excited whoot whoot! He's currently spending the last moments of being 17 with WoW. I have no one to share my excitement with sighzxzz. I dunno why I'm so alive at night but not the day.

I should probably end this post with a proper smile since my boyfriend is turning 18!

:D

didn't mention the other side of the story here

When did you last see me? (Note: what's the white stuff behind me- not the sign board)

It's snowing really heavily here, in London, which is apparently a rare thing. The scene outside my window is so pretty because it's all white: the ground, roof, top of the cars, benches... basically on the top of every surface. I see a hobo making the bottom part of a snowman all by herself. She noticed that I was staring at her through the window and gestured to me, inviting me to her little lonesome activity. I smiled to her and politely declined.

A reflex action is happening in my body as I feel the adrenaline/ endocrine/ whatever hormone is at work right now. This spontaneous urge to play with the snow is building up but I can't go out because my head is slightly throbbing, probably from the strong wind just now when I went to get some dinner. I took some pictures, so that I can share the small bit of joy that I have been feeling since afternoon, when the snowflakes started to fall like raindrops, the elegant version of it.

This is right outside the apartment I live in.

Sounds familiar to some. ;)

Snow covered ground at someone's courtyard. & bike.

When it stopped snowing for a while, & the snow on the ground has melted... not on the board though. I find it funny because it doesn't serve any purpose anymore.

Snow! :D

Then it started snowing again after I bought the dinner.

YEY SNOWFLAKESSSSSS~~

Sale on display!!! Last day for FCUK and I didn't go because I am not financially able at the moment.

A picture with the London vibe. A tiny bit of it. Oh yea, the wind was blowing at my direction when I was taking this picture. Obviously the snowflakes follow the direction of which the wind is going... so it was like hitting against my face and some of the bigger snowflakes actually went down my throat.

Some might find this familiar, again. The snow's thicker now. It's still snowing can you believe it?! I wonder if the trains are going to be cancelled tomorrow... :( I want a snow war!

:D oh joy, if only you could stay here forever~

It has been quite a weird week. I have been making attempts to come back home earlier than the previous weeks due to complaints from my siblings which resulted in an earful from my father. Hmm, I am trying to be a nice sister as well because my sister will be having her major exam in about half a day's time. Nice comments coming from her should be able to offset some of the negativeness that I've been giving her for the past month! & she said that she MIGHT(she said to take special attention to the word) give me some extra cash for next week's allowance. Whee!!! Very attractive incentive. :D
MIGHT help in my plan teehee ♥
Oh, did I mention that LSE gave me a conditional offer on the 30th January at 5.01PM? I felt emotionally ecstatic that I still have a chance to convince my father that his hard work is not exactly gone to a waste. What a feeling. :)

headache of tomorrow

Congrats to people who already got offers/ interviews from their desired universities! :D

Last wednesday, I checked my gmail and found that UCAS sent me an email telling me that my status has changed. My heart skipped a beat. Is it an offer/ rejection? From which university? What are they going to expect from me? All sorts of university-related questions started to appear in my mind as I quickly made my way to the UCAS website and logged on to TRACK.

There it was, a conditional offer from Manchester University. It was quite a euphoric moment for me because I was afraid that I wouldn't be getting any offers from any universities... though I know pretty much that only LSE's decision matters. Anyway, to get into Manchester, I have to get minimum AAB, including Maths AND Economics. My confidence for getting at least B for Economics is really low, close to zilch really. But after hearing Sunny's conversation with Mrs Lau about offers, it kind of make me reflect on my reaction about the offer. Her determination is really admirable and somewhat motivating. :)

Today went pretty alright. Someone's Christmas present arrived today! I am feeling excited. Thanks to Viriya who helped! :D Have to get wrapping paper and card to decorate it, along with Shaun and Boobs. Hmm, I don't think the person who is going to receive this will be seeing this post anytime soon. She is busy with some people. ;)

Hohoho~

Christmas is in 9 days everyoneeeee! :D
(btw, H&M sale is starting tomorrow- up to 70% discount!)

We learn a lot of things everyday, every hour, if possible, every minute and second.

D Block, outside computer lab around the staircase area.
Me: *sees Shaun making his way to the library* SHAAAAAAAAUN!!
Shaun: Hey! Why are you so happy today?
Me: Is it? *grin, grin and triple grin*

Okay, that last action was just an exaggeration. I didn't grin that much, I just smiled at him. Haha~ I actually didn't realise that I was feeling happy until he asked me. Then it hit me. I realise that what I feel isn't a forced emotion but... (oh no) maybe a slight attraction? I really hope it wouldn't go any further though. Not that it's even possible, but it will be a difficult situation. is that what I really want?

Anyway, I was really happy today until a few people have to be wet blankets. Sigggh, rbnd ah rbnd, why did you and her do that to me today? I don't get what you 2 are trying to do. Or, she.

Oh, I have been getting myself in embarrassing situations for 2 days straight already. What's wrong with me lately? :|

&! IF I LOOK AT ANYONE OF YOU AND SMILE AND LOOK DOWN LIKE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY FOR IT TO BE ACCIDENTAL. No meaning behind it.
(like as if he'll read this, sheesh -_-)

Gradual change in emotion

I can see my weekends coming! I can even smell it! YEY FOR WEEKENDS! :D

Thinking of the weekends makes me excited because I don't have to wake up at 7AM for 2 days straight. Extra rest = more endorphin for me! That is because I've been itching to go shopping for this week but I am too tired to do so from all the travelling between London and East Croydon. Hence, with more energy from the extra hours of sleep, I'll be able to do it on this weekends! YEY! Oh, not to forget that I'll have more time to finish up my already-piling homework. Bummer for them. :(

Ok, away from the happy stuff. I made a terrible, horrendous, apocalyptic, appalling, atrocious, awful, brutal, calamitous, cataclysmal, dire, disastrous, disturbing, dreadful, excessive, extreme, fearful, formidable, frightening, frightful, ghastly, grewsome, grim, grisly, gruesome, harrowing, hideous, horrible, horrific, horrifying, immoderate, intense, nefarious, painful, redoubtable, revolting, severe, shocking, tough, tragic, ugly, unfortunate, unpleasant, upsetting, vicious discovery yesterday! Oh my God. My IELTS speaking test clashed with College Photo Day. Can you imagine how (insert the same list of adjectives as above) is that?! I am very very very disappointed. Very, very. :( :(

I feel like spamming infinite "i don't know"s here. But I shan't do that.

I feel like what I wore today reflects what I feel inside.

I feel like... something I shouldn't be feeling.

Why is it coming back when it's supposed to be gone? because I'm seeing you for 5 days in a week.

Out, & emo.

Come back soon for my thoughts on a few pictures on the 1st Day.

My motivation to cycle again

I know I've updated earlier on, but it won't hurt to update often right? Alright, I have good stuff to introduce to you people. Well, this "brands" thing is really getting into me lately. More so since the past 2 years. No doubt that the entertainment world is mainly the reason behind it. Anyway, enough of history. Greet...

The Bike.

Some of you might be thinking that it's just an average plain black emo bike. But no, look closely my friends. There's more to The Bike:

It's a CHANEL Bike.


2 quilted flap bags next to the wheels and...


...a jewelry roll. All of which could be detached and used as normal Chanel bags. Useful, hurh!?

The Bike is unfortunately limited edition and even more unfortunate is that it costs US$17 000(retail). It's such a beauty, I know. I am in love with it just by looking at the pictures! I mean, look at the classy quilted seat and the other classic Chanel designs on the other areas of The Bike!(I don't know the different parts of a bicycle, so I shan't go into too much details)

It's past midnight now and I'll have to slumber soon. You can look at more pictures here and the website which I found the pictures and information about the bike is at, yes, purseblog. I'll link it to the page itself. Much love to them! :D

That's all for now! Enjoy looking at the pictures. ;)

P.S. there's a Hermès Bike as well.

CHANGE.1

New layout! It looks pretty similar to the previous one because I just edited the font style, picture, ect. I don't feel as handworking and full of variety as the past i.e. arrangements and all. Simplicity is the best(nearly) anyway. ;)

House visit was alright. Their HDB area was surprisingly clean. It was better than what I expected, no poop/flyers/flashers. The wake up time was terrifying though. My yawning rate was like once in about 10 minutes. I think cousin, cousin-in-law(?) and his brother noticed because one of the conversation topics was waking up early. We had Outram's 肉骨茶 for breakfast! The kidneys didn't taste as good though. Nevertheless, too bad my sister and brother aren't in Singapore yet. Hehheh! >:D

My noon was spent doing some stocking up and scouting for xxxxx(not anything sexual). It went pretty well, but couldn't really find one that meets one of my criteria. Argh, when will I be able to find an alternative? :(

I still don't have the pictures.. hmm hafta give pressure to Miss Tay. I am going to shower her with my glares soon. Horror movie with Teng2 soon! Hopefully lespard and Grace will not be scaredy kittens. I can't waitttttt! :D


No, this isn't my glare.

Change.2?

In progress

I am installing Sims2 now thanks to Tengteng whom I met earlier on. Hehe, will update more soon! Ohohoh, it's completed now wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

Wahaha

My conversation with my dad today was quite -_- and shocking. The -_- was that he still doesn't allow me to stay over in Oxford for a couple of days during the Easter holidays. I can understand why he doesn't me to go Paris, but he doesn't even allow Oxford! It's like how close?! Pfft. Sorry Serene! :(

The shocking part was really shocking. My dad actually had an apartment around Hyde Park! Oh my goodnessssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!#12324#%@ HYDE PARK. H-Y-D-E P-A-R-K. HYDE PARK! Unfortunately, he sold it because he wasn't sure whether he's going to send us(siblings) to the UK. Well, he was deciding the between US and UK then, which was quite some time ago. He could have earned so much more if he were to sell it now. Sigh, it would be better if he didn't sell it though. It had a view overlooking the park! Omg :(

Anyway, the title of this post is the name of Kanjani∞'s new single. Wahaha and BJ are quite nice! I am trying to find a link for the album/songs. Plz let me find it in LJ!


From The Television feb08 edition. Uchi Hiroki and Ryoooooooo! Hehe, I am so glad to see Uchi more often. :D



Yea, I still want to be in Ryo's position

Uchi and Ryo are acting in a dramaaaaaaa(apologies for being so outdated!)! Oh my goodness, I can't be more excited than this at this very moment! ACKKKKKKKKK, THIS IS SO AWESOME! I'm going to ask Le(Vietnamese in my school who is a fangirl! :D Majors in Koyama though) whether she has them. Omgomgomgogmogmg hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe I can't stop smiling!

I miss fangirling days :)

What will happen in the future?

10 AM, I woke up and stared at the ceiling thinking about whatever I said and the response I got. No conclusion, only maybe-s. I got up, walked to the toilet and stared at myself like I always do every morning. I was shocked by my dark circles(it happens every morning too, & that wakes me up for quite some time) again. When are they going to disappear? :(

After a good fifteen minutes, I finally decided to shower. It was nice and warm, but the coldness hits me again when I got out of the toilet(I only had my towel). "What's winter without snow?", I grumbled to myself as I walked over to my brother's room after putting on my clothes.

When I stepped into the room, my eyes, for some reason, looked at direction of the window. It was covered with water droplets but I managed to see what's outside through the small opening. My eyes widened as I stood there, not believing what I just saw.

I rushed over, knelt next to the small opening and pushed the window up. It's true! I stuck my hand out and watched the small white blessings falling softly on my hand. Its shape was beautiful and snow-y. Finally, what I've been waiting for since December 16th came true today. Winter isn't winter without snow after all.


P.S. I am typing this as I sneeze away, but it feels so :D hehe!
P.S.S. Ahhh, it stopped snowing already! D:

Priceless

I know I am not supposed to be online right now(I am not online on MSN at least!), but I want to post an entry before I lose this feeling ♥

YEY! I finally received the letters from Rachel, Jinger and Mila(Rami-er! :D) + Amanda, Mitch and I think a little bit of Rachel again! Hehehehehee, I was so super :D when my sister smsed me telling me that I got 2 letter from Singapore! Of course, I was even more :D when I read them. Oh my goodness, you guys are seriously ♥♥♥! Sigh, it makes me miss you all even more. Too bad you all can't post yourself over here, or else I would've hugged each and every one of you so uber tightly until you all become flattened(no need to go on diets anymore okay ;D)! Haha, oops Amanda wouldn't want that though. ;)

Oh Rachel, I am so sorry because I accidentally tore one of your Blossoms' hip. It's dislocated now, haha! Gommen ne? It's still hanging on though, so you don't have to worry! I love your powerpuff stickers & I am sure Mr Postman loved them too that's why the letter came so late. He must have been admiring it all this while. Haha!

& Jinger! I was really happy to read your post-its! I wasn't expecting it, so it's a really really really nice surprise! It's really emotional(for me) & super sincere too.. Thanks for thinking of me during your lessons(esp Chemistry!). Hehe, & I love your photo. 可愛い！～ & I will 100% not experiment with your crystal jelly balls because 我不舍得。Hehe! Oh btw, your spiderman sticker cracked me up. Haha! Reminded me of Teachers' Day! Mr Chan's super gay perfomance omggggg! I'm sorry my blog posts are pretty crappy lately.. sigh.

Haha, Amandaaaaaaaaaa!! Oh my goodness, you so totally have to come over to London! We can go crazy together while shopping & heels trying! I can even bring you around to wash your eyes with your favourite ang mohs. Haha! & you HAVE to fill me in with all the juicy gossips and all those lovely things. I wonder if I have enough time listening to all the gossips you've accumulated for me. It seems like you have endless to tell me! + I AM GLAD YOU ARE TALKING TO YOUR HG! Hehe, go for it but don't forget about me horh, 老公! ;) (you still owe me my aircon)

Reading the letters really made my day :) Thanks everyone! ♥
