home sweet home~~

last to leave for exchange..
and the first to be back from exchange.
muahahaha.

had a nice surprise from norman from the airport..
a lovely bouquet of lilies.. *melts*
heeheee..
and some other thing which i shall not mention as well :P *wink*
i guess some of u will find out when school starts again... hehe

ningbo was great fun..
it was DAMN cold, that sometimes the only thing on my mind was to concentrate on being warm..
it was worse when the wind blew..
worse still when the pathways in the village were made like wind tunnels.. brrrrrr..

the group was rather 'clique-ish' haha.. and was with kenn, irene and engkiat most of the time..
well i'd say like 99% of the time. hahahaha..
but they were great fun :P
hmm don't exactly know what to blog right now..
pictures later.. i'm wayyyyy to lazy right now..

airport staff manning the jetstar counter was so nice..
30kg luggage and wasnt charged for excess baggage..
must have been the student visa status.. heeheee..
or maybe he was just wayyyy to nice cos he didnt even weigh my luggage :D

after spending 4 months in 'spartan' mode, aka, no accessories to choose, limited clothes in the wardrobe, i suddenly feel that my room is waaaaaay too cluttered.
just cleared loads of crap from my dressing table..
more to come from my wardrobe.. and *hehe* selling the stuff online :P

ugh. this post is so incoherent. jumping from topic to topic.
blehh.
i'd better clear out some stuff now..
suddenly i can't stand mess.
*ugh* mummy will be really shocked by this revelation. hahahahahah..
taaa!!!

what a long day it's been.. ack.

went to post office to send back some luggage.
and my goodness. less than a minute out to the post office and the trolley BROKE.
with my 20KG box -_-"" not funny.
especially i was at the bottom of the staircase leading up to my hostel. -______-""""
luckily hong kong people are nice enough to offer help..
THREE people leh!!! just along the staircase!!!
so i had to lug it back to my room and transfer the stuff to my luggage bag..

phew. after that i was soo exhausted i slept for an hour before gg out to central :P
sat on the ferry from tst to central. haha it was so cheap at 2.20hk.
it was kinda like a joy ride.. felt like a little kid on a carousel..

saw the hsbc bank and bank of china.
nearly drooled. haha. it's rather surreal that all the stuff u see in books in reality.
woah.
and stupid me brought the camera without the memory card. 0____-""""
i suppose i will be gg there tmr to snap some shots.
tried it with my handphone, and they turned out horrid. yikes

tried to find my way to hollywood road but got lost instead.
but i stumbled upon 2 arty farty shops that really perked me up..
one was at the end of a street selling pork, fish and veg. it was so weird.
the other was along a small deserted street. but amazingly, there were a few people in it.
haha i is happies that i found such interesting places. :P

hollywood road was not what i expected. it was so stiff and grand. yuk.
so i just glanced at it, and went to find some stuff for mummy.
heheheheheh.. shan't reveal it here.. :P
and i stumbled upon a little teapot shop!!
so sasa, pa and mama ( my grandma) have little souveniers. heeheee..
i hope they all like it.. :P

my feet are aching terribly.
i was struggling to get back home.
that explains why this post is not as lively as ought to be. haha

yum cha (finally!!!) with gloria and sharon (hostel neighbours) tomorrow morning
at the canteen. -_-""" well better than nothing. hehe.
then i'll go to shatin to find something.
and then to central to take pictures. then to hostel then to airport.
i think this may be the final post..
wont be bringing my laptop to china..
so goodbye everyone!!!~~~~

faceless girl loves to daydream~

have i mentioned how HORRIBLE the milk tea here tastes?
it's like cardboard with milk and sugar.

teh tarik gao please.

there are times...

when u feel so stressed and not at the same time.
stressed because a deadline is looming. while the other part of me says, it's ok, i can do it.

when you're stressed, but you dont want to do any work.
(ironic, but it happens to me sometimes. at other times, my efficiency is in proportion with my stress levels.)

when u realise that someone is an overly anal fish-meat.
there are times when u need to be a perfectionist, but there are times when it's absolutely unncecessary.
u try to see the person differently, but u just have this negative disdain for unncessary perfectionists.

when the computer lab is fecking noisy. and u wish u can just shut everyone up.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

on another note, this deadline to me is nothing.
this project is a deadline project.
aka, i see not much meaning to this, and mostly BS,
and hopefully producing nice enough graphics.
all that's in my head is the image of me packing to go home, and spending happy moments back in sg and phuket.
i feel depressed yet not at the same time.
because i cant do what i really want to do (explore the rest of hk), and tied back by something (deadline).
and being rather hurt by being told that my standards are 'whatever'.

"it's not just 'whatever'. i'm being necessarily whatever. it's not that important to be that accurate, because figures / numbers are mere indications on a map and are rounded up or down to the first decimal anyway. besides, working in a wind tunnel at fecking 5am in the morning is not fun at all."

while i hold this particular person in rather high esteem because he / she is atrociously hardworking, and able to have good designs / drawing skills / analytical skills, etc. but on another note, i can't help but feel that he / she will have high-blood pressure or any stress-related diseases sooner than me because of some anal behaviour.

so.
in the most cheryl-like behaviour...

whatever.

i realised 2 days ago..
that God has blessed me in a special way..
throughout my 3-4 months in HK,
i have NOT fallen sick even once.
despite the so-called high pollution levels experienced here,
the closest to being sick was being a tad too heaty.
which was quickly remedied by flushing water through my system.
didnt fall sick even with karin, maggie and shinya around me.
yes they fell sick.karin quite terribly indeed.
Thank you Lord :D

even my horrid cramps which i got during SUBMISSION were gotten over with a half-hour nap.
usually it lasts half a day. woo~

i have drawn so many drawings like never before.
and i feel more confident about sketching my ideas / clearly explain what i'm thinking thru my drawings.
hunfry, faceless girl, and many more (not put up here) were created as well.
when i thought there was a drought in my cartoon drawings.
:D

unfortunately though i dont exactly speak with a singlish accent here.
(most of u would complain, " hey u dont even really speak singlish what!!" or get the ubiqutious question " are u from CHIJ?" because of the way i speak -_-""")
my 'accent' here is more ang-moh-fied than ever.
buti feel that my ability to converse properly / pronounce / or issit enunciate? has improved. :P
i still fumble over phasing questions properly sometimes.. but i feel a general improvement..
( i can't ask proper questions because all the fragmented parts of a question come to me ALL AT ONCE in my head, so my mouth takes over my head)
but i still miss talking 'normally' with the 'lah-s', 'meh-s', 'dowan-s', 'aiyohhh-s', etc.

so i thank God for all that He has done for me..
even though i have been a bad girl and attended church only once.
but He has blessed me in more ways that i ever imagined..
there are more changes i've experienced than these 4 changes..
heehee..
so i'm really glad that i'm on this exchange..
even though i NEARLY did not make it because of Mr Teo.. *pinch*owww*
but i guess i was (in a way) meant to take this trip out..
and be more confident of myself in many ways possible :D

:D

this is hilarious.. hahah.. reminds me of Q (korean) who used to smoke just like that..

announcement

i have hk$30 left in my prepaid card.
the handphone will only be used for emergency purposes from now on,
because i am a stingy old auntie and refuse to spend another hk100 to top it up.
incoming overseas calls will not be answered cos probably the minute i answer it, the phone will just die.
sms unless necessary please. i think they charge for incoming. i have no idea. please send your love through email or msn instead. heh :D

will touch down on xing-ga-pour at 1440hours on 19dec..
mummy and norman and whoever may be coming to the airport, please come AN HOUR OR SO after that :P
it's troublesome to wait for me and i may want to shop at duty-free. hahahaha :D
so instead of waiting for damn long (due to experience from S*s* hehe), isnt it nicer that when u arrive, u get to see me already? haha :P

yeaps. back to work.. gah!!!!!!!!
i hate to work after studio submission!! brain dead!
monday! monday i'll be freeeee!!!

Friday, December 08, 2006

deadline for one of my projects has been pushed back to monday instead of saturday!!
egad!!!

which means less time for me to do up my shopping!!!
and less time for me to pack!!!
yikes!!
i need to multi-task.
pronto!
less sleep too!
pooi!

i just realised that i am the youngest m.arch 1 student in cuhk!
0_o""
or rather i think i am.
cos there's year out before they do their masters.
eek!
well. studio's over anyway. hehe

aiyohhhh how to see liddaT???
aiyohhhh -__-""
machiam like seeing a baby in ur tummy thru that machine..

:X

yayyyy

whoo!!! i'm back!!
running around the track has been such a perk-me-upper..
ran more than i thought i could do. hehe
did more crunches than i thought i could do.
did more push-ups than i thought i could do..

so i'm not as flabulous as i thought i was!!
and i realise that some of the flabs are soft muscles instead of real fats if u know what i mean..
yay..
i hope do do more exercise..
for the short time i have left here.. ack!!!

oh and i have FINALLY seen up close and personal what the soccer guys are up to..
or rather soccer UNCLES.. hahah!!!
and they've got so many of the adidas sanitary pad soccer balls!!
felt like 'koping' one to give norman.. hahahaha..
cos they were kicking it out of the field like nobody's business.

and they had those funny little 'sitting-duck' things.. ugh. my soccer vocab is pathetic.
umm.. when a few guys stand in a row, covering their koochies, while the opposition attempts to kick the ball into the goal.. THAT few guys..
they've got the plastic life-sized 2D versions. hahah it was hilarious looking at those things..
ack.. i feel rather wobbly..
n i love it that the running track had no mosquitoes and doesnt give me the icky prickly heat feeling.
n the park back home is INFESTED with mosquitoes.. eeks!!! n sometimes the occasional wolf-sized stray dog.(o_0)"""

some random day at the OTHER field in school.. yes.. they have TWO fields. yummy.

hmmmm...

u know u havent had enough exercise when...

1) u get cramps in ur neck when u're sleeping
2) u can literally feel ur neck getting released with each heartbeat
3) u cross ur legs on a chair for 10mins, and when u let go, they feel like breaking off
4) u're flabby
5) u're damn flabby.
6) when u walk past the sports stadium, ur legs are raring to run on the track
7) u envy those who are exercising
8) u are like a pig. u eat, u sleep, well, except for the fact that u do some work on the computer.
9) u're absolutely flabulous.
10) u lie to urself in front of the mirror by sucking in ur flabulous tummy.
11) u start fantacising how wonderful u'd look without ur flabulous flabs.
12) when u wave in the pool, ur flabulous arms are able to start off a tsunami.
13) ur thunder tighs ripple off forever whenever u walk. they only stop rippling when u're sleeping or sitting
14) cellulite. huh? what's that?? eeks!!!
15) ur swimmer-shoulders start drooping

hmmm.. how many more examples can u help me think of?
i need to get a hot bod ready for pooket!! heehee

pooket~ 4-7jan.. yipeee!!! :D
ehhh.. i'm off to get a workout lah.. a few rounds round the track should suffice for me.. hehe..
i shall be immobile tmr.. boo.
