the hong kong food guide isn't doing me any good! but i ran 2-3 km today so i guess that's good. luckily my dad goes walking. the chances of me going running by myself are... anorexic. not even slim -.-" ahhhh i love pictures in food guides. darn. for lunch tmrw i'll go to food republic and i hope the mini hongkong restaurant still has shrimp wonton mee, and hopefully it's still $4 :/
oooooh big mouth -strangles him. but we can't really blame him. urgh. can't wait to go to japan! KANDAI, OSAKA :D (margaret, HE IS AS CUTE AS I SAY HE IS! HAH how dare you say he is not skinny and cute and hot)

thanks bug and margaret for a really lovely day out, though i didn't get to try the hong kong cafe! and bug, i think you will do well in your rapping career ;) now you and margaret and fellow aspiring rapper wannabe's! and our laughs are SYNCHRONISED, how awesome is that? :D
margaret is super cute! and sorry bug, for making you finish my bubble tea. i wasted my money!!!
and BUG ROCKS COS SHE SAVED ME FROM SOMEONE IN CHEM LAB 1! YES BUG, LUBBSSS YOOOO! how do you always know where to find me? haha. thanks for saving me from her ;D
integration sucks and studying for chinese has got to start NOW. school's fine, though i go home late from tues-fri. i can only go home super early on monday. chem art is really fun and it's not as heavy as pharm chem. haha. our lit teacher, mr sakhar, is extremely witty. chinese woman and pimple that could be viewed from google earth hahahah :D
so on the whole, my options would be very interesting if only i didn't fall asleep in all of them.
(germ and i are currently postulating a theory as to why i fall asleep during options, and not having enough sleep is not a reason bcos when i sleep at 10.30pm the day before i STILL doze off somehow. the teachers are good though and lesson material is definitely interesting. i am terribly sorry that i always sleep hahaha)
oh, the irony!
sheesh i want to go kayaking/dragon boating ): and i feel like a baby whale so i should go running too.
omg i love dbsk! i didn't know i didn't have so many of their songs previously but i have them now hahahaha yay. the summer album is really fantastic! summer dream/love in the ice are loveeeee. and ryo's vidoes are yay yay yay cos when i see him all red-faced after the race i just love it and go into swooning mode. and he can play piano, he says it's his other specialty (: i know i've said it before but i had to say it again hahaha i am going mad, OH NO! hahax i am getting chopin piano duets next week. (NOT BCOS OF HIM OKAY)
yay there are SO MANY MANY possibilities! (MARGARET! we shall build a city of possibilities! hahah) yay, love piano duets (: and i shall learn jap soon, my mom promised that i could haha. whee i realise that i haven't been using the korean phrasebook. sorry germz ): i learnt how to say 'nonsense' in korean though so i could respond to ___ in that way HAHAHA.
ok im gonna stop wasting so much time on the com till after higher chinese o's and after i finish learning a silly bach sonata (stupid rhythm). let's see if i can uphold that vow.

hahaha more options next week ): but i really appreciate the effort the teachers put into planning it (wow, first time hiew is praising the teachers huh). chem art is really fun and hopefully i don't fall asleep in lit again.
im not gonna buy the snail anymore ;D hahaha.
and im trying to learn what "mo shinji ran na teh oh shi es" (?????) means, it's in jap and im gonna ask my dad to translate that heh. no wonder he couldn't translate what i was saying last time, it must have sounded like a load of gibberish/rubbish jap cos i said "mo shinji... nama wei oh she des" and my dad was like O.o HUH? eh but i was rather close hahah and i like watching the video over and over again (:
central rocks! i love the jap snack confectionery at the basement cos they sell SNOOPY CEREAL! yum yum! but they have chippy which is disgusting. and a hongkong dai pai dong (the streetside food thing) which looks good! and all the jap food upstairs is like super fantastic just that it really makes your wallet lighter by quite a lot. so if i go there, no matter how much im craving for curry udon/hokkaido ramen/tempura, i'll probably end up at pepper lunch anyway. haha.
sheesh, i bought 8 days for the hong kong food guide :/ however, there is no mention of dimsum at all. it's mostly all about roast meats and noodles. where are the dimsums!!!
and yay i have the piano version of la campenalla/la ronde des lutins (: haha cheap thrills. la campenalla is damn hard! my hand is so small and it can't stretch wide enough for some of the chords. -pulls at the webbing between fingers. and my piano teacher forced me to learn a schubert sonata, though i kept arguing that i wanted prokofiev -.-" hahax and IMSLP is awesomeee, someone posted havanaise the day after i searched for it and i downloaded it yesterday whoo! :D the habanera rhythm is super nice! but the last page of havanaise sucks cos you have to play continuous tenths and i can't do it properly ): sad.
and vivien, i was going to treat you to ice-cream but since you are being so ridiculous about the whole ahlian thing, i have changed my mind ;D toooo baaaaaaad! -crosses eyes and sticks out tongue.
lol my dad seems to hate ryo. he's mean, like bug who said ryo looked like a monkey ): womgtbbqqqzzzz (a new word i invented) NO LOR. tsk, don't treat my dad to ____ already! ha he will be upset that he cannot showcase his "hidden talent".

arghhhhh i can't take it!
I LOVE IT WHEN RYO PLAYS PIANO! AHHHHHH!
though his playing isn't anything close to mind-numbingly-awesome-everyone-should-give-him-a-standing-ovation-now, i just love it when he plays cos it's sooooo cute!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
im wasting time cos i keep replaying that section of the video over and over again. and i also keep replaying the part at the asian games before the race where he stands up cos he has skinny legs and skinny ankles which are hotness, so unlike me. hahah! and also the part where he gets interviewed. and the part where he cries omg it's damn cute ): er and also the part where he does chin-ups! sheesh i could do... 1 last time. haha i bet i can't do anymore but who cares? not me. and you shld see him in his schoolboy uniform. omg udon club leader boy TOTALLY PALES IN COMPARISON! hahahah yay. i haven't found a chopin piano duet yet! hmph. shall find tmrw! can someone pls post more videos of him? pls pls pls i will be eternally grateful. (ok i know i am super biased but whatever!!!)
hahah interview interview. i will learn jap and be as good as my dad then i can read jap stuff by myself (: i wish i'd learnt jap since i was a kiddo! cos languages are so much more interesting than math, which is pretty useless and the only reason i do it is so i can get 3.6 (btw today's test was kukoo cos i couldn't finish finding some things and didn't manage to finish the last question and i think i will only get 1 mark for 4c! sadness. and i forgot to include height for volume of sphere! arghhh. i hope the math and chem dept moderate the marks PLEASE!!!)
today i started practising piano again (er i only played for about half an hour) and i sound rusty and yucky! my wrists are so weak now. sigh i bet i won't be able to play what i wna learn. YO tmrw, i hope it's better than the previous rehearsals cos none of them have been much good since we've gone back and sexy achoo is gone ): haha at least the people liked our cookies! margaret and i wrote a letter to bug! hahaha hope you liked it bug, love you and margaret as much as i love ryo and that is A LOT!
had lit advanced option yday and today. was falling asleep half the time. so many readings we have. tsk. and i feel super loner hahaha who said i was really sociable huh?
yday was the funnest recess ever! ok maybe not funnest. but memorable (: shuyu alicia chenhoon and i went mad laughing over some things! hahaha. shuyu is super funny! then we did math together for 4 hours and shuyu was a pro as usual. chenhoon is mean! when she saw a pic of ryo, she pointed and squealed, "eee! WHY IS HIS MOUTH LIKE THAT? it curves upwards! so weird!" she's so mean, i am upset. and she said he wasn't cute and that he was... gay?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH 2 GUYS HUGGING EACH OTHER!!! hmphhhhhhh!
whatever chenhoon. you say toh-mah-toh, i say toh-may-toh, to each her own (: i will never hate you for not liking the shape of ryo's mouth. LOL. still luffya!
ok gonna watch the video one more time before i sleep. i promise not to waste time anymore and study math and chinese! philo is super f7. and margaret is my dear apprentice (:

yay so we can go after all! i thought there weren't any more tickets left but there were. God is good (: haha i don't watch movies anymore, save for harry potter. but never mind cos we'll be going for this concert and it looks really great!
tsk and SAL is the only one who has lessons on mondays. the 4 of us don't have. grrrr, seoul gardening! haha. ok byeeee.

ok i have not been blogging. the holidays are ending. my piano dip exam is over :) thought it was okay-ish but not great. sight-reading was okay, THANK GOD! i just want to pass this so i can take lrsm. haha but i have to do other things first.
after piano exam on wednesday, went for dinner at ichiban with mom and i think it isn't very worth it. hmph. anyway we went to borders after that and i finally got harry potter and the deathly hallows! yesss :D i love the cover. mine's the hardcover version. ooh, also found this wonderful beethoven compilation set in which there were 6 cd's and cello music (5 cd's)!!! there's bach cello suites, dvorak/elgar/saint-saens cello concertos and lots more! super worth it! i am good at snuffing out bargains. hahaha.
spent thursday eating penang prawn mee (chilli soup base ftw!!!) and reading harry potter 7. cried like mad when dobby died ): i love dobby, why did he die? WE NEED DOBBY BACK! PLS BRING HIM BACK! I NEED THE RESURRECTION STONE!!! cry cry cry.
tribute to dobby: dobby, you were so good and cute and BRAVE. you were the bravest elf i've ever known and love you for squeaking "you will not hurt harry potter" in that cute voice and for going against the malfoy family, for standing up to bellatrix lestrange. thank you for being there from book 2 to 7, for always saving harry potter and his friends, for always putting others before yourself. thank you for showing me how to be brave in the face of death, how to care, how to be free. thank you for giving the other house-elves hope to be freed from slavery. love you, i will always remember you for all the brave things that you did.
HERE LIES DOBBY, A FREE ELF. R.I.P
ok shut up about me getting emotional over an elf. i like him! so what! grrrrr.
syo was f7. shall not talk about it.
math test is next wednesday! today is friday and i have done only a little bit. tsk. but i will do more math after this. and i also have not completed the 3 mini stacks of chinese worksheets where you have to fill in 250 idioms. haha. sheesh. and i have fun options! was very very lucky but thank God (:
my father is truly the most brilliant hiew (: he translated this entire interview with ryosuke in jap to english for me! omgomg he can read EVERYTHING with the correct pronunciation and his translation is all correct! I AM SUPREMELY IMPRESSED! YEAHHHH DAD YOU ARE EXTREMELY CLEVER :D
hahaha ryo said his other specialty is playing piano! omgggggggggg! -frantically searches for chopin piano duets. wheeeeeeeee, so happy (:
very happy that he was 1st at the world meet in japan too!!! though i think the americans didn't take part. but whatever, ryo is prooooooo (: and i am going crazy again.
argh i wna go to kindai high schoooooool ):
hahahaha. PRO (: i shall stop giving comments if not this post will never end and sadly, i need to go to math.
0:33 ai shii te ru! (:
月曜日, 9月 03, 2007 i wonder what the title would look like? O.o
hi, during the holidays i have to learn and memorise 250 cheng2 yu3 :D yay my chinese will improve! too bad my oral was lousy, still feeling a twinge of sulkiness about that.
exams ended on tuesday. chem was a booboo, much worse than the mid-year paper. haha it will be miraculous if i manage a score like my mid-year one. it was pouring after that. luckily i remembered to bring an umbrella in the morning. went for sakae buffet with bug and we met some old friends! :D hahaha. i like the gyozas and tofu at sakae. we ate about 20 plates between us, i think. plus 1 bowl of udon. hahah pigs. then i bought my snoopy water bottle from mini toons (WHICH LEAKS, THANKS A LOT! WASTED $5.95 but at least the bottle is so cute). then we went to esplanade to find quartet scores (HAHAHA) and bug photocopied some stuff. yay thanks for going out with me bug <3
omg she also kept dragging me into optical shops to try on glasses/sunglasses and she was really having a BALL of a time because... i was very amusing, to her -.-" F7 F7 F7! i will never go along with your evil plans again, bug!
hmm i want to learn japanese and spanish and latin but i know i wouldn't be able to learn all 3 so i'll just learn jap, which i find rather... essential ;D
grrr must persuade my dad to make a trip down to osaka when we visit japan! he doesn't want to go there and says it's my fault for not wanting to go to universal studios last time. and expectantly, he grunted when i said i wanted to visit snoopy land. f7 lah sheesh -.-" but OSAKA IS A VERY IMPORTANT PLACE! bcos there is... :D he seems to have sublimed or smth. disappeared! grrr. -does a moaning myrtle.
after physics, i bought 3 harry potter books. haha so now i have 4. borders was having a discount, 3 books for the price of 2 so my mom let me buy them. i didn't remember order of the phoenix to be SO interesting last time. it's really brilliant how rowling weaves the plot together so intricately. like some parts of the book seem disjointed and random but in the end they all come together beautifully :) one thing bad about the harry potter series is that it's addictive! ah i can re-read the same part a few times. owell, better reading than playing games on the com. that way my parents won't nag as much cos reading is good and will aid me in my quest to become someone who can spring witty comebacks with a wide range of vocabulary like chaoying and ylang :)
syo on thursday was just F7 -.-" i bet margaret sexy kohkoh krunch teng agrees wholeheartedly! and everytime i see *** i feel so F7! she is damn irritating and a suck-up!
chaoying left on friday! boo. bye ): hope you liked the gummies! love you too! haha sent chao off at the airport and had dinner with bug after that. and she had the most fabulous idea of going to city hall to find dinner instead of hanging around the airport moaning about how everything would bust our budget ;D
