HI. They changed the router out in the public-ish hallway, so I have internet in my room now. :D YAY.
DAY ONE-
We arrived at the airport just around 5.30am I think. Twas all dark and yeah. Chilly.

Hi folks :) (I don't think I actually say that word IRL because it sounds a bit weird).
I felt the need to boast about what I did the other day before my memory fails me and I forget or something. Rex has a nice recount of this day, and you can read that HERE. Diti has one too- and you can read that HERE. All the photos posted up here are from Samantha's camera 8) Thunks. I haven't touched my camera in ages- lately I've been thinking that it's not so bad afterall and maybe I should just hold onto it for a bit longer before a better camera comes along... :/
But before I go on about my visit to Mamak :D, Winnie has a JOB at DJ so you can all visit her on Boxing Day or something. I was on the phone with some people at Forrester's Beach 8) and they were having a pillow fight. T'was loud, and I couldn't hear her properly- I just heard David Jones. So, yay. :) Employee discounts. :D
SO, on Tuesday, I woke up nice and early and headed off to the optom- tried on a pair of contacts which were of the wrong prescription, chucked a mini tantrum in my head. It was such a waste of time. I could have been sweet talking randoms on the street into buying red ribbons for World Aids Day- but noo, I was stuck in a silly room jabbing a finger into my eye. Bah. Humbug.
After that, M + I returned a couple of DVDs to E library and I walked to the station and bumped into Harry. He was on his way to a music interview- something to do with composing in the future. I misheard at first and thought he was going to an interview for a musical =_=;. (I need hearing aids) Got off at Town Hall and went our separate ways. Then I decided to give Lis a call to see where I could meet up with her and sim, and when I did... well, I didn't really recognise her. Ahaha. Lis spent last week in Japan, and I bet she spent everyday shopping. On Tuesday I was standing outside St Andrew's Church/Cathedral looking for her. I couldn't see her. But I saw sim talking to a stranger by her side. But it turned out to be no stranger- it was lis and her fashionable self. Hahahaha. I still can't get over it :P Seriously, you had to be there ;D
We walked to Eating World and spent about 10-15 minutes contemplating whether we should eat but then luckily Sam arrived announcing that we should eat at MAMAK. WOOPDIDOO.
Photos are from Sam's fb. She's in Hk, I have no msn, so I've just copied them from there w/o her permission. But she won't mind :D

Dental appointment tomorrow. I hate dentists. They really love to poke around my sensitive teeth and make me scream inside really, really loudly.
What's worse is that I think it's either at 8 or 9 in the morning. Ridiculous hour. We're stuck with these stupid times because we didn't book early enough as everyone's rushing around trying to get their eyes/teeth fixed before they leave the country for holidays.
WHT
Woke up at 8, got on my day clothes (hair + face + teeth) in less than 5 minutes. I had a big day today... washing dishes. *gag* However, I'm just glad I didn't get stuck with sweep/vacuum/steam chores today. To successfully clean a house to my expectations (I don't normally clean, I like living in my pig stye- but when I do, I like it to be extremely clean), I take hours.
Soaked everything in uber hot water, then hand wash with detergent, then pop into the dishwasher = voila clean dishes/bowls/cups/etc. Then comes the ritual of cleaning the sink, cooktop and cupboards, because- well, maybe it's just our place, but when the place is sticky or sweet, a mass of ants will invade the kitchen and that is super bad news to everyone.
Just when I was washing our sponges, I heard some rapping on the door. I answer, its Sam. A minute later, we (Sam, Cat, I) are heading towards E.station. Bought our tickets from a really nice (what are they called.. ticket master? lol) guy sitting at the booth selling train tickets (==; wow, feel so braindead after watching so much tv) and got to H.station in NO TIME. Then we switched trains, got to W.station. HOLY CRAP. SUCH A GOOD LOOKING PLATFORM. Have you ever seen trees sticking out of the ground where waiting benches are meant to be?
Driven to bleb's place and commenced out One Tree Hill Season 2 marathon where we watched Nathan and Haley battle out their relationship + lotsa nasty comments coming from me. :)
It's not fun watching teen dramas by yourself. Especially ones that go for 7 seasons. I shall go on to mention some of the highlights of season two. Some of you *cough bleb* may not agree with what I think [about Felix] but too bad :)
HIGHLIGHT #1. Seeing 2 players soften up and get together
HIGHLIGHT #2. Seeing Felix. Yes. Felix.
HIGHLIGHT #3. Dan getting a heart attack.
HIGHLIGHT #4. Mimicking Whitey/CMM's gayish accent. OH and the way Peyton says awkward "akwaRRRd"
HIGHLIGHT #5. Bitching about Haley because she infuriates me so much.
AAAHHH teen dramas. I cannot wait until the adult seasons. Will be watching Flash Forward soon. WOOHOO.
OKAY. So today I realised how much I like to munch on stuff while I'm watching tv. At home I'm used to munching on nuts + fruit + junk, but lately we've been lacking in the latter, so I've been munching alot on cereal. However, today we munched on cucumber and carrot sticks. Oh and a couple of bags of asian chips. Which are fantasmo. Hostess' parents prepared an uber aesthetically appealing meal for us (presentation! trays n all!!) but I was being stupid and obsessed with helicopter tv shows so I forgot to pack my camera. 8)
MANY THANKS TO BLEB :D:D Sam and Cat for another really fun tv day. :)
Moving along, today I'd also like to talk about LOVE for materialism. Since I was very, very young, Material Girl has been one of my feel good songs ;D (At first it was just catchy- but now.. it's still quite catchy :) I find that I'm a highly materialistic person- I love my technology (even though it does hate me sometimes), I love my toys, my stationery, and well, of course my favourite actors. Without it, I feel bored and empty I guess. My phone has been dead for the past couple of days and I guess I'm devastated because I use my phone alot more than I should. I rely on my phone to check most of my emails- the occassional twitter, the rare blog post, the latenight facebook, and of course my love to communicate via text and calls to friends. Without it I feel REALLY bored and out of touch.
Haha. And now my parents have virtually taken over my laptop (link to tv to watch) and going on the net from the PC is slow and such a bother- I feel like it's harder to keep doing what I normally do on a school day. What triggered me to really think about it today, was when I found my Samsung Z400 (mobile) in my drawer. Earlier this year it was damaged and we figured it was cheaper to just go on a plan and ditch my original phone. This is going to sound really weird- but I regret not fixing my old phone because I really love it. The entire design of the phone is just so ME and the monkey dangling off it doesn't suit any other phone- perfect size, weight, the buttons are really nice to press, and the camera is of surprisingly good quality.
Shan't talk anymore. Miss you guys :) but at the moment, I'm missing my book more. Almost finished The White Tiger. Finally. :)

Sup dudes + dudettes.
I am hating optometry. Because it is so darn complicated. Since Monday last week- I've had 5 optom appointments.
Stupid eyesight. If only it was a recessive gene- and I was a homozygous gened baby. Oh woe is me and my 2.5mm thick (super thinned already) lenses and my super soft jelly-like silicon contact lenses.
Digressing, today, I resumed my role as domestic goddess within our household. Before the greatest bff came over to watch hilarious (omg, MEI LURY CHU FORNG) HK tv cooking shows, I immersed myself in one of the greatest of all time cleaning sprees of my life living in this house. No one is a frantic cleaner in our household except my dad- the clean freak (except on my desk- he litters it with paid billing invoices, etc. Such a pain in the neck). The last time I majorly cleaned up (ie sweep + dusting + vacuum + steam + wipe, etc) was when I had a smallish "house warming" party- where a bunch of us just played mah jong which sucks btw. So boring. D: So loud.
My room is so beautifully empty. All my stuff is shoved in my wardrobe or the hole in the wall which has no shelves.. or nicely tucked under a sheet on the upper bunk. 8)
Hmm. I have the Disney costume party on this Thursday- and I'm still wondering who I should go as, and whether I should go altogether. I glanced at the emailing list- and from the looks of it- no one I know is going, and I'm going to feel like an oddity, wishing I was holed up at home watching more MEI LURY CHU FORNG (lit trans : beautiful women kitchen= hilarious tv cooking show in HK).
What Happened Today (wow, haven't done this in ages)
8am- awoke to K+D+J walking out the door to go to school/work. went back to bed
9am- my alarm woke, dragged myself off the couch (yes, I've been sleeping in the living room!! watching tv until I fall asleep- ahh that's the life)
9.05am- a bowl of cheerios later, I'm bent over the toilet scrubbing and changing the little cake of duck fragrant stuff. I got a good whiff and almost choked to death.
12.30- felt sticky and disgusting but my guest was ALREADY HERE. Cheryl walked all the way from her place :O what a great work out. Luckily today we didn't get utterly horrid weather. I can't believe she walked though (next time just call and we'll come drivinggg)
Then we just sat on the couch and stared at the moving box for a couple of hours. Intro-ed her to VAMPIRE DIARIES (ian somerhalder!) and we watched a bit of HIMYM- Barnman and Robin. And that was about it.
When she left, I hung around with K and J while they were doing HW and played a game called Distraction. It was very fun- but finished about 30 mins later cos D came home and found us almost destroying every single fragile object in her room with our squishy scoobydoo ball + wizard footy. Got busted for running wild with 2 year 9s, so just sulked around until dinnertime.
Man. Dinnertime was interesting. For the first time in a long time, M made soup- non herbal/non awful tasting soup. And for the first time ever, she used pumpkin in it. Also- she boiled some eggs today (have not seen that at home since I dropped my phone on my head a couple of years back and had a green lump on my forehead). D's watching his health and isn't eating foods which are high in sugar and cholesterol, and shoved three egg yolks in my soup. why the heck would someone put stuff in your soup! It's bad enough when they put soggy stuff on your rice (daaamn chinese customs) and taint the wonderfully pure white grains in your bowl!! BUT SOUP!? So I dissolved the yolks into the soup and drank... till I could drink no more. Holy crap- it made me feel so sick. NEVER- NEVER- NEVER EVER EVER dissolve 3 cooked egg yolks in soup and drink it in one go.
This post will end now- or I will go into details and you will all feel a purging sensation.

Almost starting to miss school D: WHERE ARE YOU ALLLLLL

HELLO WONDERFUL PEOPLE
I have been so busy/pooped I haven't really had time to blog. The past few days have been quite fun, and I can't believe the end of the HSC feels so far away already. Hope you're all doing well/ everything is running smoothly. I feel like I've left everything to the last minute- NO NEW CAMERA- but it's okay. I'm considering purchasing a DSLR in HK at Fortress in HK where its cheaper :D. Mum wants a DSLR too because her photography interest is growing at an extremely rapid rate.
So .. yes. This will be interesting.
I realise this post is long overdue-
WEDNESDAY:
Bosco was wonderful and has already posted about this :) READ HERE
My story- Trained from Epping - Central. There was a massive delay because there was some guy who didn't want to get off the train- but was "forcibly removed" afterwards. Took them ages. How long does it take for a bunch of guys to get one guy off the train. T_T; Was supposed to meet the others at Syd K- and I was going to get off at Town Hall- except this train didn't get there; it terminated at Central. So I got off and got on a city circle train. Big mistake. Stopped at Museum, St James, C. Quay and Wynyard before getting to Town Hall. Next time I'm just walking from Central.
Met the others and karaoked.
