A Day In Pictures

Dear jumjum...

  Last week of classes before study break! So it's my last chance to do this...but to be honest this was taken over two days, cause I kinda got distracted halfway through Wednesday...and I've come to the conclusion that I'm way more focused in the mornings- the frequency of pictures decrease with time!

7.30am: I still use my old Nokia for an alarm clock. More effective at waking me up.

First thing is a visit to the watering hole

Have been eating the same breakfast every morning for the past 3 months and still not sick of it yet!

Usually if HJ is up, I'll know, cause she slams the doors every morning. So if I don't hear anything it's time to get her up

9am

Studying in SciHome

11.50am: Lunch! 25HKD

Too cold to study in the library, so on my way back

Mini grocery shopping

6pm: Easiest dinner for a lazy person. No salt no sauce, just herbs and vinegar.

7-11pm: These days it's been dance practice almost every night...and today was super duper cold, we had to rehearse on stage out in the open, with our arms and tummies exposed. My nose was all blocked up so during rehearsals I was breathing through my mouth, like a fish...

Hot drink before bedddddd.

How to e x p a n d tight shoes

Dear jumjum...

  So we had to order new shoes for the dance performance on Friday. I'm usually a size 40 but I just bought a pair of Vans last month and I miraculously fit into a 38.5. Since it's the same brand I went ahead and ordered size 39...but probably because of the difference in cutting or material my right heal hurts soooo bad! Whole piece of skin peeled off and everything. 

  I googled how to stretch shoes, but I can't do it! I live in the hall and the only freezer which fits a shoe is the one in the common room...and I'll probably be kicked out if I put it there.

  And so I used the water bottles from the sugar-free Oolong tea I've been addicted to lately- they're just the right size, and I used my long metal spoon as a shoe horn to aid me =D Hope they won't hurt my feet anymore!

Basking in the sun

Dear jumjum...

Super cold and windy this morning so the three of us went to the field for the first time to sunbathe... I usually hate getting under the sun (and getting tanned) but it was so warm and nice!

Hj looks like she's doing a really cool flykick in this pic...

Okay that's all. Bye! =)

Prep-ing for Winter

Dear jumjum...

  So the forecast is that from next week onwards the temperature will drop, so my aunt offered to bring me winter clothes shopping. =D Met with her in the afternoon, had late lunch at this fancy place in Festival Walk. 95HKD per person but the food was da bomb! Have been on a carb-free diet since last week but this meal was too good to miss out on... Will definitely bring V and Z there next year (YES finally the siblings-only holiday is confirmed!!! So eggcited!!!)

They had the daintiest, yummiest-looking pastries as well but I was such a good girl. Restrained myself. 

  Bought a few pieces of  clothing, and I only realised after I came back that one of them needs to be dry cleaned. WTH. Ain't nobody got time fo dat! Then I followed my aunt back home and had dinner with the family. Long time since I've been there. Since Mooncake Festival I think? And I was even more of a good girl and took out my notes to study. Sad life. 

Mini bus or double decker, I love sitting in front and imagine myself driving...counting down the days til I get to drive my WJW again!

Thick blankee! From my aunt =)

Oh yes! And I ordered this, couldn't resist. And lemme tell you, it smells AMAZING.

Pimples, pimples everywhere...

Dear jumjum...

  Woke up the earliest I ever did in HK today! 5.30am, just like old times back in Kuching. Computer project meeting ended way later than I expected last night- by the time I came back it was bedtime so I apologized in advanced to my roommate for my alarm clock ringing at a crazy hour (we usually wake up at 7.45-8 and it feels so early already)

  So I got up and finareeeee edited on my humanities essay after the instructor gave his comments. Been putting it off as usual. Sat my lazy bum down and finished further editing after meeting with him this morning. 

  I think I'm really lagging behind with everything now- especially studying for finals. We're approaching the end of November?! No idea where my month went. Gonna ban myself from YT from now on until the end of exams. Seriously have to buck up. So lazy lately and I think it might have something to do with the cold weather... Dam you pimples!

Cooking for 9

Dear jumjum...

  Ever since my friends knew that I cook myself dinner almost every night, they've been requesting that I cook for them...and I've always told them to wait til I'm less busy, but recently I realised that that ain't gonna happen as long as I'm in uni, so despite everything going on now I decided to cook today.

  Went grocery shopping after church and marinated the chicken breasts in the afternoon...I found the marinating combo online and one of the ingredients was orange juice! I really like how it turned out though...might cook it again for myself someday hehe.

  I miss my home kitchen! Cooking for 9 without big pans and basins is absolutely crazy. Had to cook in batches and reel in help from Pat and my roommate to bring their dishes to hold stuff. Mummy had a crazy suggestion when I skyped with her and complained: "Just ask them to wear skirts next time and hold it up like a canopy for temporary food storage" LOL!!! Was super stressed out...worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat, especially since two girls joined last minute.

Vege with mushrooms, chicken, and the bee hoon was supposed to be fried with the egg strips, tuna, carrots, peas and corn but the pot was too small...

  Random thought: I honestly think that missing someone is not half as bad as knowing that someone misses you =(
