First of all, I have a surprise for you all... now, this information may shock you greatly, but don't worry, it's not that bad...

Today...

I cut my hair.

XDDDDDDDDDDD Yes!!! Kuri, hair-down-to-waist-and-beyond-length-Kuri cut her hair!!!! Well, more like got my mummy to cut my hair, but yeah XD I finally decided it was beginning to be *too* much of a hassle to wash. I mean, it takes me 15-20 mins to wash my hair *alone*, then if you add on time for just enjoying my shower and washing the rest of me, my showers take up to 40 mins... and I decided that now I'm on AS Levels, I just don't have that kind of time to spare every day x_x;

Today's shower took 15 mins =] Much better.

Anyways, woah... has anyone else seen the new person who just joined yesterday? He kinda like... posted 2 pages worth of blogs in a day, and now has 56,000+ popularity points *and* over $7 o_O;; and he just joined yesterday. I think that's mightily impressive.

There was another person like that, but I dunno what happened to his/her account. It was kinda just... there, and then she/he posted *once* saying "hi this is my new blog" and got 50,000+ popularity points o_O; surprising. But yeah, I visited this persons blog, and I notice how my money usually goes up by 0.001 when I visit if I'm lucky, but this person's... woah! I went from their blog page, read a few, clicked on their profile and suddenly they had made 30 cents. In a few seconds. o_O;

How they do it, I have no clue, but it'd be mighty handy! Lol.

Anyways, I have also noticed that... I HAVE MADE $2!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! <3333333333333333!!!!! You guys are the best!!!!!!!! =Glomps you all=

So, without anymore further ado and waffle from me, I present to you the lunch I had today... (Photos are kinda bad though...):

Yeah, the photo is taken rather crappily, but my camera was running out of battery, so I had to take it really quickly... bleh. Anyways, a close-up:

Top tier (left in photo): Chicken with vegetables in black bean sauce (stir-fried) courtesy of mummy, rice
Bottom tier (right in photo): you tiao... uhm... not sure how to say that in english, but it's yummy, with home-made "chicken nuggets", courtesy of my mummy again, with a small satchet of tomato ketchup, then a couple of strawberries, a few raspberries and a couple of grapes (in, or outside the cookie cutter) =D

Oh yes! And the rolly-red-ish thing in the top left-hand corner of the top photo is a roll of fruit winders =]

Yes, not too impressive-looking today, but it tasted yummy! XDDDD

Omw, thank you ALL who commented/tagged me saying you liked my bentos and my site!!! =DDDDD It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside~~~ <333

<3333333333

Oooh, a few people have asked me this, I think... yes, I do make the bentos myself unless I say so otherwise ^_^ (sometimes I just decide to use some leftovers from last night =3... like so in this case heh XD)

L8r,

Ah...It's been a while since I posted a bento =3 Anyone miss them? ^_^ =P

Anyways, I realise I should have posted this yesterday, but I really didn't have much time x_x;; ahhhh I love all of you who left me such nice comments, be it as a comment or in the tagboard though!!! <3333333333

Anyways, I'm so tired today... School and all... Seriously, 3 hr lessons followed by a 2 hr one... =dies of boredom= I guess all teachers *must* start with the basic introductories, but... ah. Bleh. Hehe I will blab more about that after I finish presenting to you all... My lunch yesterday in, of course, my kawaii new bento set:

And here is a close-up of the food:

=3 Yummy-looking? ^_^ Well, it was certainly yummy-tasting though!!! XDDDDD

Top tier (bottom of photo): cute onigiri stars with crabstick in them, one with nori on it, made with onigiri mould. <3 Salmon sushi thing, with salmon flowery decoration. part of star mould contains wasabi, and there is a mini-bottle of soysauce =D

Bottom tier (top of photo): Mr. Kipling's almond slice, and tomato and apple pieces =D

I must say, large tomatoes are *so* much easier to slice =3 Although omw... the boxes are *tiny*. It took so long for me to be able to fit the food in there x_x;;

Also! It was Jinaiah's birthday yesterday! =DDD I wasn't really online yesterday, so I didn't manage to comment her Happy Birthday yesterday, but let's all wish her a happy birthday today, ne? ^_^ It's not too late yet!!! =DDDD

Happy Birthday!!! =DDDDD

I also just realised something... I am only 18 cents away from $2!!!! Ahh!!! I'm so excited!!! Thank you all!!!! <33333333333

L8r,

Hehe now that I'm back from Church, as promised, I have taken a photo of my bento box set!!! =D Although I didn't take a photo of the moulds, but they're just cute little onigiri moulds anyways (set of 3--teddy, heart and star) so you'll probs see them in my future bentos! XD

I absolutely, absolutely have to thank Cam (thisdisease) though since she donated soooo many credits to me on BlogMad to increase my traffic and my money and chances of getting that bento box set I wanted! <3333333

Okies, so, this set wasn't the one I wanted, but it was cute, and it was the only one in store, and I was *desperate* to have one since I need... well, needed to bring my lunch to school tomoz as I was going to Woodlands school in the morning... (That, and I don't think my daddy wants me to pay him back cos it was so cheap! <3)

Now, since I've not got a clue if I have a lesson at Woodlands tomoz, and it's 4.7 miles away from where I live (checked up on google), I'm going to my normal school instead to check it out. =3

Why do I need to bring a bento to my consortium school? Bleh, their break only lasts 10 mins--no way enough time to eat anything, and during their lunchtime, I have to go back to BU (my school), and all the good food would have gone at 1st break =sigh=

So!!! On to my bento set!!! Here it is:

What do you guys think??? =DDDD Cute, no? ^_^

Okay the pixels have gone a little strange. If you want, view it in full size here!

Okay, darned it, I didn't manage to go grocery shopping today, but we still have some food left! So I'm gonna make my tomorrow's-bento now with my new moulds!!! XDDDDD

L8r,

Hello all!!! =DDDD Yes!!! CrystleKuri.Twilight-Melody.Org has now officially launched!!! XDDDD I'm so happy!!! Visit it if you like! =D

If you go there then you might notice the major similarities between this layout and my one over there ^_^ That is the original!

Anyways, I have some MEGA good news today!!!

So, I went down to London with my family to visit a family friend who we'd known since forever but also hadn't seen since forever, and we went to Oriental City!!! And you know what they had there... YES!!! I NOW HAVE A BENTO BOX!!! It's really cute, too!!! =D I will post up a pic of it tomorrow.

Ahhh I can't wait to use it!!! Now I'm DEFINATELY making Bento #07 on Monday! XDDDDD

And not only did I get the box, I also got a set of chopsticks, fork, elastic band, bag, and onigiri moulds to go with it! =D Ahh I'm so happy!

Not only that, but I also went and bought Wasabi (at laaast! I bought a family tube... I expect at least half of it'll be in my stomach before the end of the month though =3) and I also bought more pocky!!! XDDDD It's a shame there wasn't *that* much pocky left in the supermarket, but I still managed to get black sesame flavour (which is now my favourite), caramel flavour and melon flavour! =D

Ooooh, and did you guys notice a new avvy? ;) It is courtesy of Sylphie! Yay! <3333

Ah so that's my basic day... =yawn= I'm tired now... =3 And that's also the reason I didn't finish uploading my site until now ^^;;

But hey! I kept my promise! It was uploaded on 09/09/06 like I said it'd be XDDDD

L8r,

Now that I'm on my daddy's lappy again and not having a tempramental internet on my hands, I can finally blog in peace =]

Hm... today the Japanese teacher got in touch with me... turns out I can't actually do Japanese A Level cos I don't have the basic Japanese GCSE, but I can take a Japanese GCSE instead...

At first I thought "Crap. How humiliating..." but now that I think about it, if I take the Japanese GCSE I'd have 11 GCSEs, and 5 AS's (Maths, Further Maths, German, Chinese, Theatre Studies) and if I decide to do a General Studies AS then I'll have 6, which works for me =] And hopefully, if I do really well they might even move me up half way through the year... hopefully.

I will work hard.

Haha, first time ever... never thought I'd say that. Anyways, if not, next year I'll do the AS, then I'll have 7 AS's... But that puts me in a bad position cos so far the only subjects I'd be wanting to take into A2 are Maths, German and Theatre Studies. I wanted to do the full Japanese A Level but I doubt that'd be possible...

And then it'd sound really daft, doing 7 AS's and only 3 of them as a full A Level... Bleh, we'll see... =/

I'm going through conflicting emotions here... We'll see what happens. The only thing I'm worried about taking Japanese GCSE is it'll probably mess up my schedule since that's probably only a 1 hr lesson, and I need 3 hrs to fill up... x_x

I will pray about it. =3 God will guide me through <3

That aside, thank you all for your comments <3333 =D I'll answer a few questions:

thaitanic: no... it's not one of those type of alarms, and to be honest, I'm glad it's not, because if it was then the theif would have had plenty of time to grab something valuable then get the heck outta my house before the alarm went off in my opinion. =3

Jinaiah: haha I think my whole entry's just answered your question ^_^

thisdisease: we have a prom/leaver's ball at the end of yr 11, then another one at the end of yr 13... I'm not sure about the rest ^_^;; but I'm glad we don't have that many dances though =3 I'm not that big a fan of them... plus I have to dress up x_x

Rip-Tide-Prophecy: okay yours wasn't a question, but I have to say you utterly cracked me up hahahaha XDDDD

Aside from that, I also have to apologise for not being very active on most people's NuTangs too... x_x I'm dead tired--really not in the mood to read much text and write a comment =/ That, and my laptop hates me and crashes every time I try to comment, so I got peeved off and gave up >_<

On the bright side, my new personal site will be hosted and launched tomorrow! ^_^ If you visit you'll notice a big similarity in the layout since I stole this one from that ;) Then hopefully I won't be too tired to catch up with everyone's blogs =3

L8r,

Rant alert. If you care not to read, turn back now. I will not be passwording this entry, cos it's not that bad a rant cos I calmed down a bit now, but giving you a chance to turn back and ignore my ranting... now! =]

Still here? Okay, here goes. Now, if you read my previous entry, you'd know the stupid lady in my house opened a door and set off the burglar alarm, right? Well, you'd think she'd learn from stinking *experience* not to open a door, yes?

Well I slept at 3 am this morning (my bad), and this morning, the bloody bugger went downstairs at effing 8:30 in the morning and opened a door because she thought "nothing was on the screen, so I thought it'd been turned off".

ARG!!! FFS!!! DO YOU HAVE A MENTAL CAPACITY OF A GOLDFISH?!?!?!?!?!

I specifically TOLD her not to open a door AGAIN!!!!!! AND SHE GOES AND DOES IT!!! X_X;;

And if she even used a tiny amount of brainpower, she'd realise that FFS! If a burglar alarm just goes and turns *itself* off when you're sleeping, it'd hardly be any good would it?!?!

And no, I don't think you can actually time a burglar alarm to turn itself off. Why else, yesterday, when I woke up, did I have to go downstairs and manually turn it off, then?! Bloody cow!!!

Oh, that on top, I just realised she never said sorry for a) keeping me awake, and b) waking me the eff early this morning. She just gave excuses on why she went and opened a door.

I'm so glad she's leaving today. I can't stand her being here anymore. It's like she insists on opening a door just to listen to the damned screeching of that alarm or something!!! FFS! If you love the sound that much, go listen to it in someone else's house! And as The-Muffin-Man put it, "it seems like you're looking after her, not the other way around". Damn right it does. x_X

Okay, she's not that bad really. We can chat, it's quite interesting, and I actually felt grateful last night that she had to wait 50 mins from a bus stop at *leamington* to get the bus to my house, but bloody hell, I'm *not* a morning person, and what she did this morning just made all my gratefulness vanish into thin air.

I mean, if she wanted me to wake up, she could have just nudged me awake, asked me to turn off the alarm in my drowsy state, and then at least I could go back to sleep easier afterwards!!!!!!! But NOOOOOOOOOOOO she has to go and wake me up SUDDENLY with the massive screeching coming from downstairs!!!

I find it hard enough, and nearly impossible to go to sleep after being woken up ANYWAYS!!! How the hell does she expect me to go back to sleep when I was woken up so damn suddenly?!?!?!

ARG!!! I'd rather she never came at all! Then maybe I'd have a little peace in this house alone!

FFS.

Okay, end of rant (yes it's light, for a non-morning person like myself ranting about someone waking her up, it's very light), thank you for reading. But now that I feel like the dead, there's not much of a chance I'm gonna make that bento I wanted to make for today. FFS. My mum wants me to cook a meal for myself and eat healthily. Well, I can't bloody well do it if I can't even bloody think straight. Crap's sake. x_X

Also, if I don't comment on your NuTang, it's probs cos I feel like a zombie and you wrote a long entry that my brain refuses to comprehend this morning... Maybe it'll get better later x_x
