Today has been an eventful day, after that long complaint abt being unmotivated, Im really satisfied with the day that I had.. Noodle-making with the lady adults in the morning, then a deserved nap, 'You are my destiny' drama, then swimming, then a walk after dinner, then card-making session. Yay. :) Thank you everyone for your encouragements too. Anyway, last Friday, we had a big dinner gathering, not sure if I mentioned it... there were 20 of us present. I didn't take a lot of photos though..
There were 10 of us kids (me included!!) and we played 'Pass the Parcel' which was prepared beforehand, then told ghost stories, play 'Blindman's Bluff' etc. Went outside to play volleyball, when I got cuts on both my arms for slipping whilst climbing a wall (hahhaa).. then etc etc, with lots of games.
Went to a medical check-up yesterday, and the nurse who was taking my blood.. she was pretty rough. But I guess she has to be as she needs to hurry the process, since there were a lot of people waiting. She even twisted and turned the needle tube whilst it was in my arm!!!! And luckily, it was on the right arm where the cut isnt as bad as the one on the left. [I was brave enough to watch the process, hehe]
A big CONGRATULATIONS to Lynnxjie, abt St G (and the Wimbledon excitement). We are reaaaalllyyyy happy for you :D
It's not the first time since the holidays started that I am feeling so unmotivated. I wish I can be more interested in activities that can occupy my time, rather than gluing myself to Youtube watching Yu Le Bai Fen Bai or Wan Quan Yu Le, or any of the other randoms shows.
Today, I'm feeling soooo unmotivated that not even Xiao Zhu and Xiao Gui's antics can cheer me up. They are normally such funny hosts that never fail to make me laugh. But today, I have this weird feeling. Feelings of panic, perhaps, if I were to try to pinpoint it. Despite another 3 months till uni starts, and the anticipation to uni life bubbling inside of me, I am suddenly aware that the holiday mood has taken over me and built me for the worse, so to speak.
One night of toss and turn in bed made me realise that as I tried to recall a single question, any question, of Maths that I learned in A2, which is a mere 5 months ago, and my mind was totally BLANK. I am not exaggerating. That worried me a lot, so I went to my boxes of notes and dug out whatever I could. Trying to do C3 Maths last night, I can't believe I have forgotten how to differentiate sec 2x. Thinking about re-learning all of those things just whirls my mind.
It is driving me crazy. I feel the deep panic of knowing nothing inside me, yet I am too unmotivated to relearn it all. But promising myself that this last 3 months, I have to cut down on my internet time, I have to move on and actually do something useful and resourceful for next year. When I started to list it off, there's actually a LOT of things I need to brush up on. A 100% C4 paper I took in June is reduced to a 0% paper as now I can't even solve ln 2 + ln 3 = ln 6 I am unbelievably ...stupid. Agh.
Testing my own general knowledge leaves me with an empty feeling, because I know very little. I do try to catch up by reading the Medicine Encyclopedia (but I could only manage up to the second medical term before getting bored), I read the newspaper everyday now - but it's all the same things - murder, war, money, election... I just wonder why I am so uninterested in all of those. Why don't I have the desire to ponder over them, to find out more? Where's my passion?!
What do I think of the financial crisis in the world today? Not sure. What do I think we should do to solve it? I don't know.
You've probably never come across someone like me, without my own opinion, without expressive thoughts that I can put forward. This is what I'm annoyed at myself for. Thinking about the upcoming interview, one year from now, that I'll have to do if I am able to pass the first year and apply for the second year course, I get tensed and doubtful of whether I can get through it successfully.
Hard work has to start now. I can't delay and relax for the rest of my life.
After moving to Qatar, our old laptop has gone hay-wired, it keeps restarting, so we think it might be a hardware problem, maybe the chips in the laptop got too hot. Then, Jas' old laptop (hahahha) started going weird too. One morning, mummy was using it just fine, and at night, she turned it on but it keeps jamming. The next day, I thought I should try it out again. I prayed really hard because we need the laptop to work, we already have one not working, and the printer is also acting up, so I kept praying as I turned it on.
It worked!
My university stuff caused us all some stress when the witnessed documents I sent via courier mail to NZ from Doha did not arrive in the allocated destination after 2 weeks. Instead of arriving in Dunedin, the tracking showed us that it arrived in Christchurch. I was so worried about the coming deadline. After many phone calls and emails, nothing is resolved. I just checked my online registration status, praying and praying as the page loaded.
It has moved on to the next stage - confirmation of my admission into the uni. Thank you so much, Lord! I am sooooooooooooo relieved!
Mm.. last night I spent 4-5 hours making a sign for my bedroom door. It took a while for the ideas to pile up, I was trying to rhyme as well as making it non-cliched, was I too fussy? Came up with a weird sentence which Veep laughed at, so I settled for something simpler, more demanding, less weird and more cliched. Sigh.. I wish for more creative juices to flow.
My creative corner, a whole side of the cupboard is filled with papers, cardboard, boxes, paints, and all the little random things needed for craftworks.
In the process of making...
Finally, the product at 11pm
The photo's just an extra. hahhaa
I am learning to write in Chinese. Really simple ones - Primary 3 Chinese! Thanks to Charlene for lending me the book, I'm only up to page 12 now, just learnt to write 'I'm good thanks'
My Chinese characters sucks. >___< so ugly.
Took this photo ages ago when we were staying at Ritz Carlton, but just want to say, isn't my model so beautiful?!
A bit of promoting going on here, please visit WGTGFashion!

Nothing much to say these days, still waiting for interesting things to happen.. Drinking pineapple juice with 4 ice cubes! I love ice a LOT. Weird, I know.. Re-listening to the 'old' songs, falling in love with 'A Decade Under the Influence' by Taking Back Sunday again, missing the full-blast effect it gave the song when listening to it in the King's fast-driven car. Just finished wrapping up the parcel for our 'Pass the Parcel' game next Friday when all the families come together for a dinner, just sth to entertain all us kids. Mm.. more photoshopping now. bye..
This hairstyle is really really nice.. I'm thinking of getting something like this.. but the problem is, I would need to straighten my hair, for this hairstyle to look nice.. and it looks more luscious on blonde than on my black hair
I'm tempted to get something like this, bt not sure if I suit it or not, it will be quite a change, and it'll never look pretty on me as it is on her. :(
Something like this is nice too, not too different, but also require straight hair, mine would end up curling to the sides
This, on the other hand is much safer, and i even love the green bits on the fringe
this is a lot shorter than I'd like.. but it will give a big change, which is what i am aiming for.
problem is now, since my face has widened a lot (constant eating and sleeping!) and it gets rounder and less sharper, would I pull it off with short hair? Hmmmm...
Moving from places to places gave us the chance to call many houses as 'home'. It's that time again, where we have finished unpacking for the time being, of course, there are many many more things to do, but we are settled enough as it is...
In my opinion, our home here is definitely the most beautiful, the outside design of the house is really attractive, and I like the feeling of walking on tiles, compared to the fully carpet-ed house in London.
As promised, here is a tour of our desert home..
The empty house, yet to be filled with our belongings that took more than 3 months to arrive from London
The container arriving...
The unpackers began their hard work, thanks very much, guys! I tried carrying the boxes, they were soooo heavy, and the people made it look so easy!
All the boxes in the house, let the unpacking and arranging begin! the process took us more than a week roughly... [clockwise from top left: maid's room, kitchen, living room, front door]

Thank you for touring House ## on Cloud Street. Have a good day!
I read this on Lynnxuanjiejie's blog, and it seemed interesting, so I thought I'd tag myself. Since I don't have a music player, I am using windows media player! [and since I have a lot of chinese songs, i'll just put them in anyway]
The Rules: 1. Put your music player on shuffle. 2. Press forward for each question. 3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense. 4. Comment on it. 5. Tag 5 people.

2) Will you get far in life? 为你存在 - 飞轮海. Meaning 'Existing for you' so... I get far in life by existing in people's lives?
3) What’s your best friend’s theme song? I will be your friend - Coco Lee. Awww. I think that's true of all my friends.
4) What is the story of your life? One To Ten - Se7en. I don't get this one. I'm calculative?
5) What was high school like? Home - Chris Daughtry. Haha.. well it depends which high school this is referring to. None of them are really like home, but.. of course, friends made school life more bearable.
6) How can you get ahead with life? 去年 - 陈奕. Last year by Chen Yi. Hmm..interesting.
7) What’s the best thing about your friends? Circle Of Life - Rupert Parker. Waaa.. that's meaningful!

10) What will be played at my funeral? The Brilliant Dance - Dashboard Confessionals. Well, one of my favourite bands.. and I can't elaborate further...
11) Will you have a happy life? Ever Ever After - Carrie Underwood. Awww, I will live happily ever after. How sweet.
12) What do your friends really think of you? Mungkin Nanti - Peterpan. 'Maybe Later', meaning....??? hmm indecisiveness? which can be quite true
13) Do people secretly lust after you? Fjortis Dunk - Basshunter. Searched on google, this is in swedish and it means 'fourteen bump'. weird .......
14) How can you make yourself happy? The Photograph is Proof - Taking Back Sunday. Oh, yea, looking at all the photos and memories really makes me happy. This Windows Media Player is so good at knowing me.
15) Will you ever have children? 開不了口 - 周杰倫. 'Can't Speak'... erm, means I can't tell?
16) What song would you strip to? All Tied Up In You - Coco Lee. Ew. No stripping!

This tag was quite funny, and I found some songs I haven't had the chance to listen to at all, there's just too many songs in my library.

Random..yes, I know, but I saw this on the news page, and could not help but post it up to say... I want it more than I want a Lamborghini
Okay, this post is just to delay more posts. Wait ah. Im just too lazy to post them right now...
Learning to write Chinese by writing out the lyrics of Lian Ren Wei Man 恋人未满 . it's hard!
Throaty cough sounding hollow and dry, with every sharp intake of breath, or even a simple yawn Spinning headache with a twirl of daze Nose blocked and watery at the same time The horrid ulcer at the wall of lips Teeth numb with pins and needles
I was browsing through my photo folders, looking back at all the photos with fond memories, and I came across the folder of my day out with LynnWei jie jie. I realised that I haven’t blogged about it. It was indeed a memorable day! LynnWei jiejie and I set off in the morning, to visit the TowerBridge and “The Egg”. Then, we stopped by at Oxford Street for lunch, and window-shopped for awhile, before setting off to Bayswater to buy the famous Roast Duck. We could have taken the tube, but “to save money and exercise more”, we decided to walk there instead. After all, it’s not that far away…
We past Marble Arch and walked across Hyde Park before reaching Bayswater Station. It doesn’t sound like a long journey, but it took us one hour to walk across Hyde Park! It was quite hilarious, I guess my sense of direction isn’t that up to date, haha. But, Hyde Park is really big anyway!
We got lost in the middle of Hyde Park, but luckily Wilson was at somewhere there too so after a lot of phone calls, we finally met up with him and Elisha, who happened to be going to Bayswater too. We then realised we had crossed the park diagonally, from one end to the other!
Anyways, after we bought the duck, we took the tube home, it was a funny and tiring day.
ROAST DUCK mmm
Anyways, I shall be updating about our new house soon, since we have just moved in on Friday and theres lots of other things to blog about. But I'm really tired now, might go have a nap.
