thank you

A day with initially nothing really exciting to look forward to.

stressed out with essay last night, woke up late this morning, missed lecture, dragged myself out from bed, clock read 12.45pm, no time for breakfast, quickly brushed teeth, rushed to get ready for 1.15pm bus, n afternoon clinics at 2pm...

Before ran out to catch the bus, caught a sight of a pink envelope at doorway.

This lovely wishes certainly made my day! Hugz* yuqing*

Can't help falling in love with you

I still remember vividly...

It was last Wednesday, when I first encountered you...

The day before I actually stayed up very late and felt tired the entire day. And so, I didn't quite notice you at the beginning. It was my frenz who introduced you to me. Luckily she did. I wasn't quite impressed at first, for you weren't particularly eye-catching after all. I guess it was my fault to judge a book by its cover, shouldn't have had that kind of thoughts.

I was abit reluctant when my fren were pushing you to me telling me how nice and good you are. Despite tired, however for the sake of being polite, I decided to give myself a chance to know you better. And I'm glad.. I DID.

After that, things seems to work in a miracle way. I was like, 'oh nooo... I can't help but to fall in love with you immediately'... Is that love at the first sight??? Maybe not. I told myself I will certainly not going to have enough of you. Deep in my heart, there's a voice shouting:

yUm yUmmmM!!!!!~~~~

smell so good, look so smooth.. taste so heavenly..

bAkEd pOtAtO is the bEsT!

Ever since that day, I start to develop this BIG baked potato cRaVe! Haha. Didn't know it taste soOoOO yummyy! hehez.

I lurveeeee baked potatoes!!!

I strongly reckon that I'm gonna grow into a potato one day for eating them almost everyday. Hohoho.... but I don care! I just love it! Have been practically satisfying my crave by trying out baked potato from shops around the area I live in. There's one downstairs called Central. Their workers are too lazy to mash d potato up, make it not that nice and smooth to bite. Another shop further one sells very nice garlic-butter-spicy-chicken-mayo toppings. Too bad the shop I had the first baked potato is very far from here, still think they sell the best ones so far.

am happily eating this while writing... hehehehz ~

Potato: " I might look ugly, but I taste superb." =)

Curiosity

Have you ever came across a kind of people whereby,

you are curious with

what kind of world do they live in?

what's in their world?

how they look at things & people around?

what's always in their mind?

and you're simply curious to explore.

I wonder how true is this....

While I was expecting gemini or maybe pisces, it says,

Your True Love Is a Scorpio

Why you'll love a Scorpio: Strong and sexy, Scorpio will overpower you into falling in love (before you even realize it!). You'll love being swept away by Scorpio - into a world of insane passion. Why a Scorpio will love you: You don't mind letting your Scorpio take the reigns, as long as you know you're truly cared for. Loyal and devoted, you would never do anything to set off insanely jealous Scorpio.

What Sign Is Your True Love?

Chinese New Year

~ma favourite sotong dish, mama's cooking~

It's the time of the year again, when everyone gathers in Er-jiu's place gambling, chatting, eat grandma's cooking, play mahjong, get angpow, sleep late, play firecrackers...etc

I want to GO also....... =(

Here: ate steamboat with coursemates, played heart attack with frens, went temple to pray, had potluck with seniors ...erm...think basically that's it, didn't do much during cny.

Monk in d temple said a new year comes simply means we are granted another year - a new chance to live on. I think last year, I was extremely unwell and depressed. Luckily many unhappy stuffs had been put behind and for the present, things start to fall in d right place. Maybe life here isn't that bad. Am glad at least I don't detest or complaints so much anymore. =)

Begin to like my flat............ for posters in kitchen, it doesn't feel so cold n empty as before

my hSemAtes............. for many things, they feel like my family here.

my SsC........... for the fun we had together complaining bout the weirdo greek geek, driving around Edinburgh just to eat baked potato...etc etc. 1st time I enjoy ssc so much =)

my icp............ for the 'getting less-evil' gp, humurous cute guy, very very nice mates.

my rOom......... for the posters, expecially d one that says, 'can't wait for the weekend!!!' haha, that's sooo ME!

I'm wishing this year can be a better one, for myself and also for youuuuu! Happy Chinese New YEaR!~ =)

She

In Caucasians culture, first name comes before surname. So, for Tom Jerry, we call the person Tom or Mr. Jerry. To be honest, I came to realise this naming order only after Form 5.

While for chinese, Tan Da Vid simply means Da Vid is the name and he's Mr. Tan.

And because of this, they apply this rule to Chinese names too. In all student accounts, 'Shi Hey' appears instead of Hey Shi Ying or ShiYing Hey. People only call me Shi instead of Shiying. Never in my life I recognise myself as Shi. Doesn't it just sounds weird? Like how you will call Tan Da Vid, Da Tan. However, some locals weirdly think it's a nice name for a girl to have. Like they say, ' you know... you are a girl and your name is 'Shi' which sounds like a 'She'.... which is nice!' ....Huh?

And today, I was told 'Ying' means girl too, in Thai language. Never did I know my name could be so feminine. People say a name is the expectation your parents have for you. If that's the case, then I must have terribly let them down.

To make it a full package, I'm going to name myself 'Elle' - another feminine synonym in french.

Speechless

gRRrrrrrrrr......

I bet when all of us were in Form 2, we learnt these:

Soap is NOT pure water.
It's detergent made dissolved in water.
Yes, water will evaporate.
But, solute dissolved in it will NOT.
When water evaporates, solute does NOT follow.
And Detergent will NOT evaporate together with water into the air.
If soap water is NOT properly washed down,
wHatever solute left behind will sTIcK on, eventually become HARD STAIN, which is NOT easy to come off!

DOn't yOu UnDeRsTAnD? .. dUh!

Aberdeen Weekend

Rather than continue feeling upset, I decided to come back again writing up something that can at least make me happy!

It was da weekend in Aberdeen! Wheee...!~ =) Okie, not to mention their super duper SCARY weather to welcome me, with hale la, gale la, rain la, of all the things in the world, What lah! We looked exactly like Ostriches standing at bus stops with heads hidden deep down in coats.

Neway, it was a very very very fun weekend. Lurvvve it! It was quite some times ago since I last felt being surrounded by big bunche of good frens and have fun together.

Way up north to Aberdeen on megabus was quite uncomfy. Somehow the sights of snow always excite me! Hehe. Didn't expect to see inches of snows and huge snow mountains afar from the highway.

Steamboat!!
With stuffs that Jason the warrior, cycled all d way and get in the freezing cold wind...haha!

See, how round we became after the super filling steamboat. =)

Bye bye!

What's wrong?

I'm not feeling well, terribly unhealthy. and suffocated by tonnes of works: clinical practice, student selected component, in course assignments, formal modules revisions, dancing practise, cashback claims, recipe tryout for d coming foodfair...

at the same time,

Mama not free to talk to me.

Yuqing not picking up phone.

Caleb said he's not joining easter trip.

Printer not working AGAIN.

Information and datas not getting into my head...

Why all the bad things happen at once. What else can I do? not in mood anymore to do anything else. feel like crying.

Pisces

人们觉得你安静、真挚, 会体贴人，但又觉得你的思想是那么深远莫测。

你敏感,灵活,與世無爭,而且神秘。人们无法知道你在想什么或希望什么

你的身上总保持着一种天真、忠厚的气质，

有着无可救药的浪漫。

大卻無神，双鱼的眼睛常常有黑眼眶，一幅睡眠不足的樣子。

Freezing....

Told u, snow in Edinburgh is always so pathetic. I miss Oslo!!!

What's wrong with the weather nowadays? It's like one night even in my thick sweater I can suddenly feel sooo cold in my room that I actually thought I am going to fall sick soon, only to find out later that all my housemates are actually feeling the same too. Aikz!

Sleeping near the window seems not quite a good idea in such cold weather. The initial thought to place bed next to the window is to feel romantic la, thinking can see moon can see star eveyr night before sleep. Mana tau turn out it's such a torture in winter. Going to bed every night is a new courage. First, get everything done, light off, sweater out, pull the duvet over, and position myself nicely on the freeeezing bed! And next, don't move for like a minute. Make sure that spot covered by my body is well heated with human 37 degree temperature. (why only 37 lahh??) Then only to slowly toss and turn around in bed doing the same thing. Think thats what animals do also to warm up their 'bed' before sleep. -_-

And another thing, because of this weird weather, my nerd-gonnabe plan was ruined too. Remember last term I promised die die also have to study everyday to avoid ending up in massive depression state again before exam? Lectures seems to go on everyday, tutorial goes on every week, yet my knowledge never even grow a bit. Even bamboo in my room grow faster. Arghhhh...! Everyday come home just eat, then sleep then eat then sleep again. Complete cycle, never fail. Alamak. I can forsee in 3 months time, I am gonna get so stressed out again. Like this afternoon, thinking of studying, who knows end up making wantan in kitchen. JPA should consider setting up a restaurant run by their overseas students since thats the only skill everyone has been significantly improved on after coming abroad.

OKie okie, time to study before heading my way off with Pei to Aberdeen tomorrow for a weekend away. Espionage on Fri? BBQ on Sat? LEt see what David can plan in his luxurious house... =)

And most importantly... get Easter planned!!! We haven't got anything in mind yet. Perhaps...

See her in Holland?..

OR

eat easter eggs alone in my tiny little room while everyone is away for Italy, only to wait for Adelynn and Zhixin arrival for Skye.

Nono, I don't want...!!

What to do?

You don't accept the fact that you are definitely fatter till:

• when trying to buckle jeans, button came off


• early morning even the stomach is empty, jeans feel tight


• when putting on coats, it gets hard to breathe


• you go Tesco everyday just for profiteroles



• you need to shift a hole forward at waist belt


• when eating a pizza, you thought thats the shape you see everyday in the mirror


• you wondered , ' ei, is that me? why so big difference one?' when flipping thru secondary school pictures
  

Conclusion: Age ∝ Fat

... with reversibility equals to nil.
