feeling: Ill/Sick/Bleugh!
watching: Nada

It's been ages since I last blogged, and the first time I do again, it's to declare how ill I am. ¬_¬;;

Yes, I am ill.

Very, very ill.

I have a headache and 2 essays due in tomorrow and I want to go to bed!!!

I had a fever on Friday, which I didn't think much of since it disappeared quite promptly, but last night it just came at full force and struck me bad. (Hah get that for English grammar >_>) Okay, well, I didn't have a fever, but I had a massive headache, my whole body was weak, I could barely lift two shopping bags out the car after we'd gone to ASDA and all in all, I felt like crap.

I went to bed at 7pm-ish last night cos I just felt so bad...

Then woke up at about 1am cos I couldn't breathe... I couldn't breathe through my nose cos it was so blocked and couldn't breathe through my mouth cos the back of my throat was in so much pain that if I breathed in it hurt like heck so blew my nose a lot (okay sorry you didn't need to know that but still >_>), I was contemplating going downstairs and getting some medicine, but I really didn't want to... So prayed for recovery and thanks to God, 5 mins later I could breathe again.

Fell asleep again and woke up at about 7am with a nosebleed.

Got up, stopped my nose bleeding, went downstairs and got some medicine (because I just had to this time... My head hurt so much and I felt sick) and decided I couldn't go to school because the first thing we had was a maths 'mock' exam and my brain was *not* functioning. Even if I did go, I would have just been sent home immediately.

Slept til about 12pm (midday). Omw... I just realised that means I slept for about 17 hours in total... I kept thinking it was only 14-15 hours... I don't know why I thought 7pm->7am was only 10 hours... Omw... shows how well I would have done in my maths exam, had I gone to school, eh? @_@;;

I originally thought it was a cold, but now I think it's due to fatigue... I've been out a lot since my birthday and just lacking sleep here and there and everywhere and not catching it up properly and just... yeah... being an idiot and not taking care of myself and am now facing the consequences ;_;

And I still feel ill... I think I'll go to bed now... and give up on those drama essays >_>;; Although today I tidied my room! It's so strange being able to see my floor again... Seriously I walked back into my room today after my piano lesson and almost tripped over because I was expecting to step over something but there was nothing to step over o_o

Man I'm strange XD

Why am I so forgetful? I'm sure my memory wasn't this bad before... o_o;; Seriously, it's like... gotten so bad >_<;; No wonder I need a diary to keep track of all events otherwise I'll double-book stuff, definitely o_o;; Or something.

Well, point of today's entry was, well, I was going to finally collect my NuTang money when I turn 18 and I was 18 3 days ago and I forgot to collect it ^^;; Although that could be a lot due to how busy I was on my actual birthday.

Seriously, I was late for school for one thing so had absolutely no time in the morning to sort anything out, then as soon as I got back, I had about 10-15 mins or so to relax then had to give a piano lesson, after that I had about 10-15 mins again before I went to pick up Ani who was visiting (which I was even late for x_x)

Then when Ani got here I couldn't exactly ditch her =3 Actually there was so much I wanted to do on my bday but wasn't able to/didn't have time to. I wanted to record a piano piece again in celebration of my bday--one of my more recent pieces, but yeah, didn't have time.

I wanted to post on the Asteria forum, a DBSK International Fanclub online which I'd finally got confirmation to be a part of on my bday, but didn't have time. I wanted to blog on another bloggy thing, but didn't have time, I wanted to check FB, but didn't have time...

Ah there aren't enough hours in a day! XD

But at least it means I had a full bday! (^____^)v Actually Ani and I wanted to go clubbing that night--it was on the agenda, but then when we got to Warwick Uni we realised that it was Easter Hols therefore nobody would be there, so decided to go to Varsity but it was empty by the time we got there and was in the process of closing--at 11pm =_=;;

But oh well ^^;; We have our whole lives ahead of us to go to Varsity now =] It was quite frustrating on the day after though because Emma's trains were being retarded and it took her over 7 hrs to get to Cov, but we were always unsure of when she'd arrive so couldn't do anything without making sure we can leave any second to go pick her up at the station.

Bleh, oh well =3 Hopefully it won't happen again. Seriously I was so annoyed though because Ani and I wanted to go to Browns to eat but Browns was quite far from the station and we weren't sure when she'd get here so didn't want to be half way through a meal and have to go pick her up ¬_¬ It was a generally good weekend tho (^_^)v

Although I have a feeling something big is going to happen this year!!! God... what will happen? I look forward to it ^_^

Another thing, I don't think I'll be taking that gap year anymore... I doubt I'll be able to find a job in China and there's no way I'm going without a job. Emma can get one, but it'll be hard for me. She says I should just go with her anyway, but no. If I don't have a decent job, I'm not going, I'm not going to live off her income and there's no way in heck I'm going to take part-time jobs like waitressing there.

In the same way, if it were me who got the job and she didn't, I wouldn't let her live off me either cos it'd be my hard-earned income which should be for me and my family. There's only a certain amount I'd lend to friends. It's just... yeah, not something I'd do.

Seems like I'll be just going straight to Warwick ^^;; Hopefully, if I get in! Cept I now have to sort out all my loans and financial stuff... Hmmm...

Anyways gotta go now =3

It's 3 days till my bday!!! (^__________^)v

Anyways it's a very good friend of mine's bday today! =D We're very close, so I call him my little bro =3 I stayed up til midnight to say happy bday to him (^_^)v Was dead tired though >_<;;

Anyways, came back from Emma's yday! =D Twas so fun at her house! Omw her house is like... MASSIVE. Seriously. Her garden alone is about 4-5 times the size of mine, and mine is considered quite large as well! (I have a detached house)... In fact, out of my close friends, I have the largest house. Well, not anymore O_O;;

I won't continue to gabble about how massive her house is because I'll rambling forever, but basically, think Sound of Music house. Okay maybe a little smaller and no massive driveway like it, but still. Her house was like woah O_O;; We took some photos! (Not of the house though I wanted a photo of her garden but forgot my camera =3)

And I absolutely love this photo, taken in her room:

<333

Happy April Fool's everyone! ^_^ Heh I forgot it's April Fool's cos I always think of today as Pandi's bday =3 But gosh... A friend just told me she was for Tibet independence. She's Chinese. I hope that is her April Fool's joke to me. I am seriously against it.

Apart from how it's giving Western Media another chance to slander China, causing deaths amoung Chinese people because of a few monks and making people judge China with the Olympics etc, please also refer to these videos to why I am strongly against Tibet Independence:

"Tibet WAS, IS, and ALWAYS WILL BE a part of China"

"Riot in Tibet: True face of western media"

And taken from a group on Facebook:
His oh so holiness Dalai Lama.

http://www.dwnews.com/gb/MainNews/SinoNews/Mainland/2008_3_29_14_34_5_14.html - Basic summary for those who cannot read Chinese:

China has tried to have talks with the Dalai Lama, ever since him fleeing Tibet after being a complete (in the imitation of Ali G) terrorrist.

An agreement has failed to been reached due to these 5 main issues:

1. The Dalai Lama wants China to claim that Tibet has been independant from China throughout history, and has nothing to do with China in terms of culture.

2. All of the Chinese military should be pulled out of Tibet, and that Tibet should be governed by the International Community, and become a "neutral" area.

3. Tibet can choose their relationship with other countries (Equivalent of a county in England, choosing to support whoever they like) - eg. Al Qaeda.

4. Tibet also wants 4 OTHER provinces of China, Gansu, Szechuan, Yunnan, and Qinghai, which consists of approximately 25% China. (Their combined area = 2,400,000 kilometres squared of area, whereas the area of China is approximately 9,600,000 kilometres squared).

5. Autonomy for Tibet (Autonomy = self-governing) yet...- Anyone who is not native to Tibet is not allowed to live in Tibet, including the 4 provinces that Dalai Lama wants.

I will write about this properly in a VOWE on my personal site some other time, but I have to go now, I have so much work to do now!!!

UGH! I am so bleeding obsessed with DBSK!!! >_<;;

It's getting unhealthy.

Seriously, I went to Ani's house last Thursday and stayed over till Saturday and what did I do? Go on about DBSK (and steal her DBSK album that she bought in 2005 XD) and then I went to France with my family from Sunday til Wednesday and what did I do? Think about DBSK practically the whole way, about how they'd been to Paris, about how omw-I-might-be-standing-in-the-same-place-they-once-stood and about how omw-maybe-I-could-bump-into-them? (I didn't, of course).

And then I woke up on Thursday and what was one of the first things I did? Look at DBSK stuff online. ARGH and last night I downloaded practically all of their songs (I didn't want to before, I wanted to wait to buy the album but what can I say? I wanted their songs.)

Their voices are beautiful though. I found a review last night about this one song they did live... Omw...

It's... Gosh I have chills down my spine every time I listen to it. Their harmonies are perfect!!! Omw... =chills=... Even though I don't understand the lyrics I can feel the emotion they're pouring into the song and... Arrgghhh I'm about to cry... I actually had trouble breathing just now because their powerful voices and spot-on harmonies just left me completely breathless... Wow... It's seriously amazing >_<;;

They've come so far since their first album. Wow.

Haha I actually heard about them in 2005 but was never interested until earlier this year =3 But at least I'm interested in them now XD Ahhh it still gives me chills @_@;; So amazing *_*

Anyways aside from that, I had a wonderful time at Ani's ^_^ Went to visit her for her 18th Bday! =DDD She'll be coming here to mine soon too for my bday~ <3 And then I went to France with my family--Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney Studios, Eiffel Tower, the big... door... thingy... XD

No photos from Ani's though cos we were just way too busy having fun XD But I have a ton from our family holiday, though I won't be uploading them cos dad has them and hasn't put them on the computer yet =3

I also did some changes on my Personal Website so please visit and have a look! My main entry thing will be used for what I've decided to start today: "Kuri's Views On The World", aka Kuri's VOWEs :)

I've decided to get more up-to-date with worldly events and I've had my own opinions on them when I've seen them so I've decided to write down what I thought. Should be good for my German practise as well since some of the news I view is in German (although my review will be in English).

I've also started a new page for them so if you want to see all of the reviews I've done please go there :) The first one I've done is an article on Beijing Olympics--Western countries judging China again... They're being very hypocritical =_=;;

I got baptised yesterday =']

I was so happy... I dno, actually it's been a bit strange for me. Just before my baptism I felt a little distant from God because I hadn't spent as much time with Him as I should have done...

Cos I've recently become very interested in a Korean band called DBSK (Dong Bang Shin Ki) after watching the Korean show Star King with Ye Eun, so I've just been staying up really late watching vids of them on YouTube...

I hadn't prayed to God properly for ages and... Ugh I just... didn't have a good morning either. And when I got there, because everyone had a written copy of my testimony before I'd even gone up to give my testimony, a couple of friends of mine were sorta laughing at me over my testimony and one was reading it in front of me which really stressed me out.

I cannot stand having my stuff read out to me. I hated that everyone had a written copy of my testimony and it irked me even more that they were talking to me about it before I'd even given my testimony.

I'm one of those people who hates having her work read out to her. I hate re-reading my own stuff too. I couldn't even bring myself to read the Chinese translation of my testimony that Carrie did for me. I got as far as the first few words and I had to stop reading.

And just... stuff like that, it stressed me out... And I just didn't feel as close to God and I felt really strange >_<

But afterwards, as the Baptisms were going ahead (there were 5 of us in total) I couldn't help my tears... Like I'd said in my testimony, it felt like a very, very long engagement to God and I was now finally getting married to Him and I just felt so happy and wonderful and... wow...

And I cried as my turn to be baptised came...

My dad was recording it and it was being projected onto the screen so people could see what was going on and I found out later that he'd zoomed in on my face as I was crying. Joy =_=;; Now there's even less of a chance I'd ever watch the baptism video. Oh. I hate seeing myself on video too. I can't stand watching myself when it's me speaking or something. I can handle watching myself play piano though.

But afterward the baptism, it didn't really feel that different... Many people were like 'how do you feel???' as if expecting a massive change or something, but I dno... I didn't feel that different. I did feel a little more mature though.

Anyways, I'm slowly getting back into my relationship with God. I know I haven't been as close to Him as I should have done lately and I know that's because of Satan's temptations and I haven't been able to drag myself away from the computer to pray properly so I'm still praying for strength, but I'm glad I've finally taken that step of obedience. My time came and I just knew it had to be done :)

Sorry I don't have any photos from it ^^;; Well, there are a couple on Facebook but... I'm too lazy to upload anything... >_>;;

I've been feeling so strange lately though because of DBSK. It's not the first time I've really wanted to meet a celebrity (or in this case, a group) but can't. Although I will hopefully be going to China at the end of this year so I'm really hoping I'll be able to meet them.

Cept they don't speak English or Chinese well and my Japanese is very limited and my Korean is as good as my Spanish (meaning I can say 'hello' and 'thank you' and that's about it ._.) so I really don't know what I'm going to do...

Either way, trust in the Lord and see where he leads me.

L8r,
