feeling: happy but tired~
listening to: There is a Higher Throne - Various Artists

Ah... my uber-busy week is over! ^_^ Although I lacked a lot of sleep and was overcome by stress for quite a bit, it was still majorly fun~ =D Had an absolutely brilliant weekend too!

Omw! Taming The Tiger was *SO* good!!!!! <3333333 I absolutely loved it to pieces!!! Gosh if I'd have known talks would be this good I would have gone to the other one too!!! >_<;;

*SO* going to the next one!!! O_O;;

I also bought the "Taming the Tiger" book and got Tony Anthony to sign it straight away XDDDDDD He even drew a smiley face on it haha how cute! ^_^ Would anyone like to see it? =3 I can take a photo and put it on here if you want =]

Something interesting (to me, at least =P): I think it's really cool how I met this guy at my Church AGES ago, but he never came back, so I figured I'd probably never see him again, and just when I'd almost forgotten about him, I see him again at *swimming* in the Sports Hall haha XD

And we didn't really talk much there either, so I figured I'd never see him again after that as well... The very next week, I see him at the Cantonese Bible Study group lol. I had been intending to go there to try improve my (very limited) cantonese ^_^ Cool, huh? XD (This time we actually spoke properly and got contact details haha)

That was the 17th Nov (Michael's Bday~~~ I have yet to get him a present =cough=) lol and now I'd say we'd already become really good friends, yay~ =DDD Lol it's kinda like what happened between Ani and I, cept this time I didn't hate Him (his name, believe it or not =P) when I first met him ^^;;

What happened between Ani and I? Well... when she first came to England, we were 6 yrs old, and she lodged at my house for... I forgot how long, but according to my parents it was only about a month or so, and during that time, we annoyed the blah out of each other ^^;; When she left I never thought I'd see her again... In fact, I'd *completely* forgotten about her ^^;;

Four years later, we met again at Chinese school, but still hated the blah outta each other, then I quit cos I didn't like it and wasn't learning ^^;; yet another 2-3 yrs later, we meet again, and became best friends within a week! XDDDDD

I guess there are just some people you feel you can just... connect with straight away, and even though you haven't known each other long, you can still become amazing friends? ^^;; Am I making sense? =3

Okay in my case it takes about 3 tries to actually get to that 'great friends' status, but hey! ^^;; =P

Also tried out a different Church yesterday--omw... the worship was AMAZING... Seriously the BEST worship I've had in... *way* too long... <33333333 I'd love to go back there, but I don't think I'll be able to =/ My parents are reluctant to send me there and... yeah =sigh=

I'll blog an unedited version of my weekend some time ^^;; (although it'll be password protected >_>;; =3)

Although I had an interesting discussion with my parents in the evening XD I asked them "What would you do if I told you I'd had a boyfriend for the past 6 months?" and this was me asking my rather-traditional-but-changing Chinese parents ^^;;

Funnily enough, my mum was immediately like "Congratulations! =D I wouldn't care, I told you before, I don't mind at all ^_^" then started guessing who supposed-boyfriend was hahaha XD

My father was like "Yeah, I'd be alright with it but you should have told us *before* you got a boyfriend, not 6 months after." And also began assuming I had a boyfriend... I just laughed at them and told them I *don't* actually have a boyfriend, I only said *if* =P

My daddy was like "I think God would let us know if a guy is suited for you though", which, fair enough, but I thought surely God would tell *me* first, and then tell mummy, cos she's obviously more open about this issue =3

My daddy was quite interested in what my mummy would say about this and asked if God had given her a sign, so she just said, "Well, I think it'd all be very natural when the time comes and she'd accept whoever I chose". Yay mummy~ <3

Right... I have an R.E. essay to write about asylum seekers and the right of indigneous peoples... and how religious leader communities can help resolve the issues involving asylum seekers...

I have gotten as far as "Nowadays the issue of asylum seekers are becoming more and more of a problem." >_>;; Gyargh!!! I've NO idea what to write!!! I barely *don't even* know what asylum seekers are!!! x_x;;

And it's due in tomorrow... =dies=

Y'know, I wish I could just stay in my own little Kuri-La-La-Land and never come out of my fantasy world of rainbows and butterflies and sunny days ¬_¬; We've all turned the world into a horrible place and I don't like it ;_;

Hopefully if I'm lazy enough I can get kicked out of Society and Ethics then I'll never have to worry about writing essays for them again >_>;;

L8r,

feeling: tired...
watching: Sailor Moon XD

Ah... how long has it been since I watched Sailor Moon? XD It really confused me when I was watching it when I was younger cos I kept missing episodes and stuff, then I stopped altogether, then when I got back into it a new season had started and I was hearing all this stuff about new characters, so gave up in the end ^^;;

Hm... I've been SO busy this week... Basically, my week has gone (and is going):
Monday: school, get home, catch up with homework, practise at least an hour's piano

Tuesday: school, stay after school at consortium school to do more on German and get some German help, get bus to town, get food, go back to my school, go to Stratford to go to theatre to watch "A Winter's Tale" by Shakespeare (which was really boring... the lighting, staging, sound effects and stuff were really good though! =D), got back at 11pm

Wednesday: school, catch up with homework, practise at least another hour's piano, realised my internet was back up so went online for quite a while, then piano lesson 7:30ish-8:30ish (although it always runs over so I don't get home till around 9ish

Thursday: school, catch up with homework, swimming 7:30-9:30, got home around quarter to 10

Friday (today): school, go online for a bit (I was supposed to stay behind and do our Xmas Pantomime rehearsal, but I'd have like... NO time to rest by then... and I've been losing sleep like bleh), meet up with friends, meal, Taming the Tiger talk 7:30-9pm, go to bible study group, expecting to get home... 11:30pm ish

Saturday: chores, badminton, swimming, piano practise, homework

Sunday: church, homework, instrumental practise

And that, my dears, is my week... The most hectic week I've had all year... I'm SO tired and I've got dark rings under my eyes too TT_TT =sigh= I wasn't even able to make a bento yesterday cos I was so tired and busy >_<;; Okay, gotta go now! <333

I need to get my homework done now >_>;; Gotta go!!!! <333333333 Ah, and I'm sorry, I don't have time to plug today, but thanks so much for commenting!!! <3333333333

L8r,

feeling: knackered
watching: some random thing on youtube o_O;

Wow... I haven't blogged in a week! O_O;; Heh heh ^^;; Did any of you miss me? =3

Okay maybe not ^^;; But anyways, it's that time of the week again when I post up my next Bento ^_^ I was gonna blog about how fricken stressed I am with life right now, but I think I'll leave that for another post some other time... =sigh= Hopefully everything will get better x_x;

Anyways, without further ado, allow me to present:

Bento #015~ =D

Top tier: rice with tomato fried eggs (it actually tastes quite nice =3) and croquettes fried with mini-shrimp (? not sure what it's called heh ^^;; but it also tastes quite nice =3) courtesy of my mummy~

Thank you all for commenting, you lovely, lovely people!!! <33333333333333

And now for some answers some commenters have been seeking XD:
@Kahne, well, I got my Chicken Tikka Batch from school, and I cut out the cucumber shapes, and made the muffin myself =D
@dave, I cut it out from seaweed nori with a big pair of kitchen scissors ^_^;; was a little challenging, but fun to do! =D
@Cammie, yeah, we have open campus here too--it's only 30 mins for our break too, but I like the food my school serves =D just that when I go to my consortium school on Friday mornings I tend to make my own food ^^;;
@kkama67, with cookie cutters XDDD
@Anita, hehe you only type in the first 4 digits, but I think you've figured that out by now ;) Thanks for visiting! =D
@Dilated, nope =3 cucumbers ^_^

L8r,

feeling: absolutely freezing ^^;; but happy =D
watching: EMZSB

Hahaha well, most of you are probably thinking 'ABOUT TIME!', right? ^^;;

Sorry~~~!!! I've been... Well, actually I should have posted one a couple of weeks ago, but because I was in such a lousy mood back then I didn't bother making a bento...

Instead I got some food at THW School--BIG mistake! Gosh their food is a) stinking expensive and b) doesn't even taste nice! I got a so-called Chicken Tikka Wrap, and the Chicken Tikka tasted like freaking watered chicken, and not only that, but it was practically a salad wrap with like... one little *bit* of chicken!!! >_<

I can't believe people complain in my school about the gorgeous, *non-expensive* chicken tikka baguettes we have... Just cos they're "not as good as they were in year 7" ¬_¬;

Anyways, I realised I can't be bothered to eat cold pasta or whatnot tomorrow since THW doesn't have a microwave in the common room, and nobody seems to be nice enough to take me to the food tech department to warm up my food, so tomorrow's will consist of mainly something I bought in school today...

Mmmmmmmm, drool-a-rific chicken tikka batch *_*

Top tier (bottom in photo): chicken tikka batch, cut into heart shape with nori face on one [with a little mayonnaise to make the face stay on ^^;;], and an apple gummy on the other with heart-shaped cucumber slices in the middle ^_^
Bottom tier (top in photo): Kuri-made muffin in heart-cutter, star-shaped cucumbers and tomato slices ^_^
Other: Yakult drink, mango gummy, strawberry sweetie =D

Ah... the nori face eyes were a little challenging to cut cos I used massive kitchen scissors, but I think it didn't turn out that badly! =D Kuri-made muffin isn't as snug as the last one =sigh= I thought I'd leave it to cool before cutting it so the bottom doesn't fall apart--big mistake...

I know what to do next time though ^_^

And since my hands are freezing I'll leave it at that ^^;;

Thanks for the Get-Well-Soon's =DDDD <3333

L8r,

feeling: absolutely knackered
watching: EMZSB -- It's REALLY GOOD! =DDDD Well, I like it at least ^_^

Yeah... I'm absolutely shattered and I still have 2 chapters of Stanislavski's "An Actor Prepares" to read and make notes on before tomorrow, so I'll have to make this a quick entry ^^;;

Well! Just came back from another piano lesson. Very productive lesson today~ I did SO much on the Aural Exam... Gosh it got SO HARD after grade 5 x_X;; Well, since my teacher now absolutely RULES, I'm hoping to do the best I've ever done on an exam before =DDDDDDD

Apart from that I've got a cold. It's not very nice... and the weather was ABSOLUTELY FREEZING today... I almost froze to death getting to school and back home ;_; When I got to school this morning, cos I cycle, my hands had actually gone red with cold, skin went all cracked and my nails had turned blue...

Took me a while to get my circulation back up =sigh= x_x;;

I hope my cold gets better ;_;

Oh yeah... Haha, as for Halloween, we didn't get a single trick-or-treat-er, which suits me just fine cos it means we get to keep the Maoam [type of sweet] I bought and I love eating Maoam XD So yummy~ Actually I bought two packets and I think my family have just about demolished them by now heh heh ^^;;

On a brighter note: I'm really liking E Mo Zai Shen Bian [Devil Beside You/Devil Does Exist/whatever] =DDDDDD It's not like those Taiwanese dramas where the love tria--uh... hexagon, let's say, gets SO confusing and at least *ONE* of the characters tick you off like no man's business.

This one, sure, they have problems through it and love problems, but most of them are sorted in 1-2 episodes--not nearly long enough for you to get majorly annoyed at any of the characters! =DDDD

And it's so funny!!! Gosh even when things got really serious they still managed to crack a joke and make me laugh my butt off! XDDD

Very recommended! If you wanna watch it, Airi and Killie-Pooh's site, -->Moochi<-- hosts it with English subtitles! =DDDD It's probably one of my favourite T-Dramas now ^_^

Then again that doesn't mean much since I get really annoyed at most t-dramas heh heh ^^;;

Going to slee--uh... read then to bed now~
