looking forward to: Copacabana~

Heya~~~ ^_^ A few little minor updates today: I added some photos to the gallery (on request of Richard, and they now *work*, yay! =D (no, none of them are of my boyfriend though... yet! =P) and I also updated my calendar, which you can see in the module to your left hehe ^_^

That gives you an idea of the bday wishes I need to send and some things I'll be doing =3 Today's Copacabana day~~~ wooot XD I'll be going off to Warwick Uni again soon to spend the day with Him, David and Evangeline =DDD Can't wait hehe ^_^

So yes! It'll be eventful for me today! =D So, again, this entry can only be short ^^;; I'll promise you guys a long, detailed entry of what happened between Jan and now some time, though! ...When I have the slightest bit of inspiration to write it! ^^;;

Yay~ Love you all <3 Thank you so much for still coming and reading my blog even though I've been completely absent from yours >_<;; So sorry! I really will try to catch up soon!!!

@rrzhang001, awww you are too sweet! ^_^ Thank you very much! Haha and yes, his name is 'Him'. It's Chinese though... I found it brilliant to keep inconspicious when I was talking about him before to my friends and no-one else knew who I was talking about haha XD His English name's William though =3
@Katrina-nee, thank you <3 ^_^ I can definitely say I've never felt this strongly towards anyone before.

L8r,

So! After a (very long, although shorter than some people's) hiatus, I am BACK on NuTang XDDD

Did anyone miss me~~~? ^_^

I'm very pleased to announce that my maths exam (C1) went considerably well (YAY!) but that's very much thanks to my big brother (not by blood--but he's like a brother to me so~) who gave up so much of his time to help (force) me (to) revise and taught me some concepts that I had originally known, but not known how to apply, so when he taught me, it finally clicked! Yay! =D

So yes! That was my first exam!

My further maths one, however, was not so good =sigh= I don't think I did very well at ALL. I wasn't really able to revise well because it was just me. At home. In front of a computer (major distractions there) but... yeah ^^;; I tried to work.

Anyways, I prayed a lot, and I know God won't let me down. Whatever I get is whatever I'd have deserved, and if it was all too bad, I can always retake =3

Now it's over, I have a heckload of work! Joyous ¬_¬;; So I can only make this a quick blog >_< So I'll give you a little bit of an update on my social life: Hehe I now have a boyfriend ^_^ <333

My first ever, and hopefully we'll be together forever, if not, at least for a long, long time, see what God has in store for us, I guess ^_^ I really have so much faith in our relationship, cos it's a relationship God has blessed <333 It might not mean much to you guys if you're non-Christian, but to me, it means so much!

Hehe a little about him: His name is Him (I blogged a little about him before ;D), he's 19, and on the 19th Jan we started our 'official' relationship hehe ^_^ (before then it was all rather unofficial haha but we'd both told each other we liked each other =3)

Rahhh!!! I have so much homework to be getting on with, so will stop here~~~ XDDD

Before I leave to do work, I must say a massive THANKYOU to all who have still been visiting my blog although it's been so dead lately ^^;; I love you guys~~~ <333

Heh heh heh I know, I know, I'm awful, I haven't been on in AGES, but yeah, I went to a Discipleship Training Camp on the 30th December, then came back on the 2nd to go to school on the 3rd, and since I was online so much during the hols I kinda got myself a half-computer-ban until I finish my exams ^^;;

I have a maths exam on the 10th (OMW =DIES=) and a FURTHER maths exam on the 23rd (which isn't so bad, I have time to revise still =3) but yeah... please wish me luck, guys!

Then after that I should be back to my normal rate of posting XD although the code I use is very irritating to type each time =sigh= Maybe I'll just leave my posts boring and same fonted and blah, but that'll not be me anymore =/

Anyways, wishing you guys a really Happy (belated) New Year! I must say I personally haven't made any resolutions, cos... well, honestly, what's the chance I'll stick to it? >_>;;

I'll just do the best I can to become a better person ^_^ So anyways, for lack of a better topic to post about, I'll show you all how idiotic I am ^^;;

Haha most people are giving Christmas wishes, I thought I'd be a little original? ^^;; Well, this was actually made on the 23rd, but I didn't have time to post it ^^;;

So, on this glorious day when Christ was born, I present to you...

Bento #017, in celebration of passing my Grade 8 =DDD It's very unhealthy, but very, very delicious XDDD

Top tier (bottom in photo): Fried prawns (like in manga/anime!!!), *prawn* spring rolls, and prawn dumplings (as you can tell, I like my friend prawns XDDD)
Bottom tier: Some fried rice cake...thingys, baribari (or at least that's what it says on the wrapper, but I prefer to call them peanut sweets XD), amanoya, and banana slices -- yes, I decided it was WAY too unhealthy, so shoved some bananas in XD

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas!!!

It's been the best Christmas ever for me this year <333 Hope all your Christmases rocked too! (Also massive thanks to Richard for giving me 20 pps for Christmas!!! <333

@Sylphie, I did XDDD Read my entry "Revelations and Discussions~" entry veeery carefully and you'll know. Well, his name, at least ;)

L8r,

feeling: SO HAPPY!
listening to:

First, I'd like to apologise for not being on NuTang for so long, and apologise for not having another bento ;_; I'll make one during Christmas, promise! I was just way busy on Thursday >_<;; So wasn't able to make one...

Anyways! OH MY WORD!!! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And not only did I pass, I got a MERIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOO HAPPY!!! Gosh I just wanted a pass!!! OMW I GOT A MERIT I'M SO, SO HAPPY!!! (I'm on Associated Board, by the way, it goes Pass/Merit/Distinctionm, no Honours)

I don't know the full details of it yet--gonna discuss that with my piano teacher soon and have a look at it, but WAH! SO HAPPY!!! I'll bet I failed my aurals though heh heh ^^;; OH WELL!

UWAHHHHHHHHHH SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYY YAAAAAAAAY!!! =DDD The perfect Christmas gift! =DDD

I've decided to continue it on; gonna do Diploma in Performance next, wooooot! =DDD Praise the Lord!!!

MAJOR thanks to:

God - seriously, if it wasn't for God's guidance there's NO WAY I'd have passed.
Mr. Dvorak - my piano teacher, cos, obviously, if it weren't for him there wouldn't be a chance in -blah- I'd pass!
My Parents - for paying for my tuition, exams, for bloody putting up with me all these years, and not giving up on me no matter how much I didn't practise so I've now FINALLY completed Piano properly!
Him - if it wasn't for his constant telling me to practise as it got nearer the exam I wouldn't have practised half as much as I did right before my exam, and there's no way I'd have gotten my merit!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! <333333

watching: Sailor Moon R

Gosh, how long as it been since I blogged, eh? ^^;; =Sigh= I haven't had much time to blog lately ;_; Well, I dunno, I guess I have, but I guess I haven't had the inspiration to...? ^^;;

I've also been rather... lazy/not-in-the-mood with Bentos =sigh= Haven't made any for the past couple of weeks, but I'll hopefully make my (last one for a while due to Christmas Hols) Bento this Thursday =]

Anyways! As you may (or may not) know, I had my Grade 8 piano exam last Thursday... That might not mean anything to those who don't live in the UK, but basically, Grade 8 is the highest grade you'll really need in an instrument, so yeah, means quite a lot to me ^^;;

Erm... Well, the results should be back in a couple of weeks, so I'll let you guys know what I got! =D (Hopefully I passed! =fingers crossed=) Thanks to all those friends who wished me luck and prayed for me <333

How'd it go? Well, twas actually okay ^_^ My scales were pretty good, apart from this *one* scale (E flat minor in sixths apart) that I *could not do* ;_; I was so annoyed cos I tried it *twice* as well and I STILL couldn't get it right =sigh= Gave up on that one in the end...

The rest were okay though =3

My pieces, I'm glad to say, were okay =3 My first one: I didn't even make *one* mistake!!! I was so pleased <333 I did a couple of slips where I accidentally pressed two keys at once, but that was about it! Yay!!! =DDD

My second piece, though... Gosh I messed that one up =sigh= I basically messed up the beginning, then got back on track, but then she coughed and distracted me, so I messed up the middle, but then got back on track, then I somehow managed to mess up the end too ;_;

It wasn't *that* bad, but... =sigh= Stupid Mr. Mozart ;_; My third piece started off well, though, but then towards the end, because there were so many massive jumps in chords from one end of the piano to the other, I kept playing wrong notes x_x;;

I don't think she realised though, until I played so many wrong chords she had to look down at the music to have a look heh heh ^^;; (She was focused on my playing before then ^^;; -- you can see her reflection in the piano =3) Hopefully it wasn't *that* bad though =3

BUT!!! For the FIRST time in my ENTIRE history of sight-reading, I think I passed this one!!! YAY!!!! =DDDDDDDDD <333333

Now that the areas I've passed have been told... erm... I basically *know* I failed my aurals ^^;; I mean, singing bottom line? Hah. Telling what cadence is what? Double HAH! And my sight-singing was an absolute disaster. I mean, I basically squawked my way through it... I was like "Erm... lar... larrr lar... lar????!! =Insert more random un-note-like noises here="

She asked me if I would like to try again, and I gave her a very honest answer: "not really ^^;;" heh heh ^^;; And modulations?? Weren't gonna happen. I completely guessed, and also completely RAMBLED through what the period of the piece she played was... >_>;; I think I got it wrong anyways =sigh=

*HOPEFULLY* I've still passed though! =D I'll let you guys know when my results are back ^_^

In other news on Kuri's life: It's Christmas soon =D I'm actually just looking forward to the holiday... SO tired lately x_x;; I have so much work to do ;_; (Well, actually, it's not that much work--it's just SO DARN HARD to do it! I don't get Linear Programming at all!!!)

People ask me like... what I want for Christmas, and the honest answer is: nothing ^^;; Well, nothing that they can buy me, at least =/ There's one main thing I want for Christmas: Snow.

We rarely, if not, NEVER get snow here ;_; =sigh= I wish for snow...

Okies~ I forgotten what else I wanted to say so I'll leave it at that heh heh ^^;; I also intend to update more often! ^^;; I know I've been absolutely AWFUL with blogging lately =sigh= I promise to blog more often again!!! I've just had my mind occupied a lot lately ^^;;

I have to say, though, even though I've been *completely* dead from NuTang lately, I must still thank you all so much for visiting my blog anyways!!! <333333 Much love to you all!!!

@Anonymous, Heya! ^_^ Well, before I answer your questions, I'd like to ask you a few of my own:
1, Who are you?
2, How did you know I went to WUCCF?
3, Do I know you? ^^;;
Thank you very much for praying for me! <3 I'll answer your questions next time, if I get mine answered ^^;; (You don't have to put your full name down for my first question...)
