Tehehe technically today i will be going to HK and China ~~~ I'm trying to suppress my excitement since i do actually want to sleep tonight but I know when i wake up I will be willing time to go faster ~~
I cannot wait to go shopping,, finally all the shopping I've been holding out on can be made up for in a month, mwahahaha. Also meeting up with relatives again, although most are older than me, they act around my age and it's loads of fun. Oh and to meet up with friends. ^^~~~
However, sadly, I'll be missing out on the end of year fireworks and Christmas celebrations. *tears* I remember last year's they were so fun and this year would have been awesome :(
I'll also be missing some important birthdays so in advance. Happy 18th Jenny Y, Jessica C and Vivien F. Though i won't be able to spend the day with you, enjoy it and remember you're 18 only once in your life ;) Sorry if I've missed anyone's I blame my goldfish memory. Please leave me a comment if I have ~~. ><"
To end on a happy note, here are some pictures I took at a dinner I attended a few weeks ago, it was Miyuki's birthday dinner. We went to Blackbird cafe and after dinner there were fireworks ~~ So pretty. After that i went to play pool with Shirley and some new friends. We won too !!! hehe
I shall miss you all while I'm away. I shall try and blog in HK but I think blogger is blocked in China. Msn isn't though so I'll talk to you all there or email me ~~
I really like the picture above me. ^^ Did anyone see the closing ceremony of the Asian games?? The fireworks there were even prettier ~~~~

Today i did a shift at Michel's 6am-11am. Mwahaha so early. I was quite surprised when i actually woke up. It actually isn't so bad. For me the air seemed much fresher at 5:30 am, or maybe it was just me trying to validate waking up so early.
Anyway, something i want to spazz about is their Christmas range this year. I think I've been with Michel's long enough to pass two other Christmases and i don't remember a time when i was actually interested in anything. But this year. OMG. After seeing their pamphlet i regretted not spending this Christmas in Australia. I'm going to completely miss their Christmas range.
What caught my attention in particular was this:
It's a White Chocolate and Raspberry Mud Cake. For those of you who don't know, I absolutely love,adore,relish (teheh the rule of three) these the two ingredients together. New Zealand Natural has it in their range and it's my favourite~~~~ Ergh BUT I'M GOING TO MISS IT. That just sucks.
Another thing i'll miss is their mango tart ~~ ><" Sigh i love mango and when someone says mango tart i just perk my ears up. It looks quite bland but seriously what is there not to love about mango and tart??
Another thing that caught my attention was how cute these cakes were. The first is a white chocolate mud log and the one under it is a chocolate mud log. ~ I'm not dying to try these but they look so adorable.
But yes, hopefully i can find similar or even better substitutes in China/Hong Kong for these gorgeous Christmas treats. If anyone tries any of these please tell me what you think of them ~~ I would love to know.

I have really messed up sleeping patterns now. I sleep at 4 or 5and wake up half way during the day ><" I really need to fix that up. heheh A good thing about it though i got to see the sun rise ~~ hehe I don't remember the last time i got to do that. But here are some pictures i took.
These weren't taken by me but by Alexander from U-Kiss, who shared them via Twitter. They're just random shots of the sky ~~

WARNING: MAJOR PICTURE SPAM. Sorry i realised i didn't upload them onto fb and then i couldn't be bothered, so enjoy ~~
This is 2 months late but i really wanted to document this week since i have the worst memory and i can barely recall what we did so there's no hope for me in the future>< ~~

- Monday 20/09: This was just a normal day.
- Tuesday 21/09: Our last day with our regular classes ><" I remember it was a day full of pumpkin cutting, chasing around my english class members telling them to write a message on the pumpkin and then putting together a trellis with Anne. ^^ Oh and then an english party ~~ That was interesting. Oh and Mr Turner brought us a Mango cake, it was the one i wanted to try from Christopher's so you can imagine my excitement. It was very yummy ~~
- Wednesday 22/09: Junior dressup day along with a formal assembly and mock assembly rehearsal. Not much can be said apart from that so i'll just spam with loads of piccies~~
Trip to Breadtop after~~
- Thursday 23/09: School farewell assembly and Mock. I thought i would shed a tear in the farewell assembly but i didn't.... the speeches weren't very moving. I shalln't complain anymore. Mock was great.Our year is awesome~~ It was so interesting and i loved the fact it was Harry Potter themed. Look at all those juniors who are immersed in mock.
I had loads of fun playing a throwing game with Shelley ~~ Our aim sucks by the way.
- Friday 24/09: Year 12 Graduation and Graduation Dinner. Graduation was sad, Ms B's speech was really sweet and definitely made up for yesterday's farewell assembly. Mummy and Daniel came which was very sweet. Daniel even followed me around after and took piccies for me ~~ Mwahahha and he didn't even complain which was good.
Then I went to karaoke with Victoria, Mish and Chau. Thank you Victoria for driving us home and thank you for always driving us around places *hugs* You are such a sweet girl.
And that was my graduation week ~~

Tuesday, November 16, 2010 @ 8:49 PM
It seems that as the HSC ended my commitments to school ,as well as blogging, just stopped.
Hmm but post HSC... it's been fun. I've been watching dramas that i couldn't watch while i was studying which entails a dying net. We've used 39 gigs in about 12 days... It wasn't just me it was my mum as well ^^ She's a drama addict as well, like mother like daughter.
Apart from that i spent most of my first week, formal shopping. I went to Bondi Westfield, City, and Pitt Street Westfield. I didn't go Miranda, I find Miranda hard to navigate ><"
Bondi food court, is so pretty!!! I'm sure everyone has seen it but i've never been to Bondi Westfield before (call me a noob if you want) but it was really pretty. I cbf describing it and i didn't really take a great picture, the stairs above was just a shot i took. It looks much better in reality ^^
Mish and I went to the city with our CY friends for korean barbeque and then some shopping. Pitt Street Westfield is very gorgeous. There are a lot of reflective surfaces and as someone kindly pointed out its a great place for those who love staring at their reflection. I was quite surprised at the shops that were there. I thought that there were all expensive stores but in fact there are loads within the price range of student like me who doesn't have a stable source of income.
Anyway here are some pictures of the cupcake store that was near David Jones. They look so much better in reality, my camera skills just aren't great. Of course they look great but i don't know if i would ever want to eat one...

0 commentsLast Exam
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 @ 10:34 PM
Ok my last exam is starting in 11 hours =oo The last test of high school.... and i don't really feel anything.
Hehe i'm just looking forward to the spare time i'll be having and enoying myself until i get to uni and the workload is five times as much in half the time... Ok i made that up but looking at uni students in the library studying with their thick textbooks doesn't make me think otherwise.
Lalalal ok i think i'll get back to last minute crammign where i'm learning about X-Rays and MRIs and what not. So in the future when i'm on a blind date and we're in an awkward silence i can randomly bring up how if he ever randomly swallows scissors, the hospital would take an X-Ray which is created by a high voltage which 'boils' electrons out to hit a piece of metal and to create x-rays and then use endoscopes, which they will shove down his throat in an attempt to get the scissors out. What a nice conversation that will be... but that's currently all the use i see of this...

0 commentsThings I Want To Do in HK
Monday, November 1, 2010 @ 7:18 PM
At the end of Novemeber, like literally the 30th, I'm going to HK and China for a long holiday. Woot !!
Sadly, I won't be in Aus for Christmas nor New Years or even my birthday ><"" Or even my ATAR, which i don't mind. Instead i'm happy, no family friends bombarding my parents with questions. hmpft.
Anyway, instead of studying, i sat in bed snuggled under my blankie and with a warm cup of hot chocolate while it poured outside and thought about what i wanted to do in HK and China. Ohh did you know that today's weather is my fave, though i like stormier weather. I love sitting at home in bed, warm, in my fave pjs, with a great book and a nice drink and just relaxing while outside is all grey and rainy. I think its pretty ^^
Anyway i want to:
<3 Catch a random train and just sit on it as it goes around and around. Though not too sure if i want to do this in HK or China since there isn't much scenery except tunnels. Maybe i'll do it on a bus like Hong Ki does in You're Beautiful.
<3 Get off at a random stop, which hopefully has interesting shops or just a nice environment and explore.
<3 Go and spend a year or so at Japan or Korea and work to support myself while i had fun experiencing their culture and learn their language.
<3 Sit at a nice cafe and people watch !!
<3 You know in those HK dramas where they stand at the wharf or at the top of a mountain and scream all the worries they have, at the top of their lungs and then they feel a lot better? I really want to try that. Of course usually they have a hot guy beside them. I wouldn't mind that either. kekek
<3 Step out of my grandma's house with some money and my ipod and just go exploring the city.
<3 Having a deep and meaningful conversation with a random at a nice cafe ^^
<3 Wear one of those cute asian cartoon suits, which look really stuffy and heavy but totally adorable and walk around a busy city and see how people react. ^^
Hm.. that's it.. I'm sure there are more but i don't remember. LOL most of things aren't really for HK and China... Maybe i'll do another one for that... But yes i'm sure i could manage most of these in Sydney though the world is so small in Sydney, the random prob knows one of my friends and HK has a really nice city sky line so i would love to be on the pier at night.
