Carpe diem

-

The weather seems to be showing some improvement these days.

Brings me joyy :)

Was just casually walking around westwood around those green patches outside each hall of residence. There were people having picnics, throwing balls at each other, lacrosse. There were also a few dudes who hung out hammocks between trees and music. Ah loving spring, loving life. :)

Making everyday count. 

Healthy living

Okay, having a fruit fetish right now.

Does it look soooooo good? :)

-

I've decided to cut down the junk and live healthily.

Taking responsibility of my own body now, ONZ.

-

It's been an interesting couple of days. Interesting week actually.

One with good times, bad choices, awkward moments and new revelations.

Taking a step back this coming week, to review and to think.

Life. Full of twists and turns.

Horizontally challenged

I never thought this day would come.

I've always thought I had the good genes. To be able to eat and never grow...fat.

I know I know. I too don't wanna be the kind of girl who tells everyone in the whole wide world that they're fat when they are actually normal and expect people to say they're wonderfully thin and boney. Believe me, it's not what I was going for. I have never considered myself fat, I've never actually paid much attention actually. Until now... trust me, I don't know why I care. I don't like what I've become.

But let's just be frank, I gained. And quite a bit too.

You know you're fat when the people you see every day thinks so too. Yeah that bad.

So don't even argue with me for now, don't say nice things just to make me feel better. I know better myself. I need acceptance.

Oh I miss those days when us calling each other fat was just a tease and there is no speck of truth but now, it's just real. So real.

Sorry I'm not exactly a burst of sunshine right now. Not really feeling it.

But I promise this won't last. ;)

Sitting on a rainbow

I'll go with weird though. :)

I'm gonna show my grandchildren my blog.

To my grandchildren, you know I'm already thinking of you even before your parents were born. Even before I even met your grandfather. LOL. (In my time, LOL is laugh out loud. Just reminding my probably forgetful self)

Yes I'll find him. He's a bit lost right now, or right under my nose without me knowing :)

I bet he's amazing. You tell me.

See you in 50 years little ones.

-

Ready to hunt love down.

-

-

Okay I've noticed that I've become less interesting nowadays.

Don't blame me. 

Blame the countless courseworks and lectures.

I keep forgetting to experience life.

Routine after routine, so comfortable we forget what life is all about.

We do all these normal things, then what.

I want to do something amazing. I just don't know what yet.

-

I've had a good few days being sick. 

But don't worry guys. Will be bouncing back soon xx

OH and happy pi day :)

3.14159 appreciation.

Busy like a bumblebee

THAT'S US. 

The coursework is just, pain.

Busy busy busy.

Nutter

I sometimes stare into the mirror for hours touching my face, wondering if this is all real. Or are we just dreaming. Or maybe I'm the only one in the world who is real and everyone is actually made up in my head.

I know it's unlikely. But just imagine if all these are made believe.

Just a fiction in your own head. What if everyone is actually making different things up in their head. And actually everyone is the only real thing in their world. Maybe in someone's mind, the world is a shape of an a pentagon, there are five Suns, and the sky is green.

DO WE ALL LIVE IN PARALLEL UNIVERSES.

MAYBE YOU READERS ARE MAKE BELIEVE. MAYBE IT'S ME. I AM NOT REAL. :O

But you know what made me realize it's not true? Because if my mind gets to decide, cotton candy would grow on trees, it would be bright all day long, and the sky would be pale pink. :)

Also, to think like that means that I've been living a lie.

And God would never lie. That's one sure thing I know.

There, reassurance. Yeh, I talk to myself all the time.

Tis the life of an only child ;)

How we stumbled upon the ruins of a castle

It was so pretty.

Some place I would spend my weekends, with my imaginary boyfriend.

First things first, you should know it wasn't ancient ruins. It wasn't a castle either.

Bit misleading if you asked me, considering it's called Sham Castle.

But without the others knowing, I was coming up with a grand castle story in my head, the whole time we were there. Touching the stone walls thinking that some prince from 1000 years ago touched the same wall, stepping the grounds that warriors valiantly fought for the freedom of their kingdom. 

That was all in my head.

This is what happened. JOKES :D

Never leaving without a jump shot. LOL

In reality, Sham Castle was built about 400 years ago "to improve the prospect" from some mayor's house. Not very glamorous really. Also, because university taught me to reference, I took that piece of information from wikipedia. (Though university also taught me not to take information from wikipedia)

SO. HOW DID WE STUMBLE ACROSS THE SHAM CASTLE.

I make it sound so exciting it kills the real story.

We decided to take a morning walk because the weather got warmer. And bravely trekking our way into unknown (potentially dangerous) trails. And then we saw it. Got excited. Googled the story behind it. Got less excited.

It was a fun journey. :) Love walks. Love Bath. Love everyone.

Peace out! :)

AND THANK YOU ADRIENNE FOR THE MANY PHOTOS.
AND HER AWESOME CAMERA

Not the first time

Our conversation. I assure you this happens quite often. The abnormality.
me and tze


Just watched half an episode of misfits. Was gonna shit a brick.
What's it about?
I dunno yet!!! I watched HALF an episode. But it was scary.
BUT WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
I dunno!! There's like 6 kids who were doing community service....(goes on to explain the show)
I already read the summary online cuz you were too busy shitting bricks to tell me what's going on. Intense much lol.
Yes it was. No wonder season 1 only has 6 episodes. I think if there were more series in season 1 I'll be shitting bricks and eating them back and shitting it again.
WHAT XDD If only I could print screen this.
Too bad you can't XDDDDD
I just typed everything out. On my blog.
Oh shit.

I present you, my insane friend. :)

Also, you would like to know that when I googled it, I found this.

 "Misfits is a comedy drama series broadcast on......"


COMEDY DRAMA TZE, COMEDY LOL

Yay or nay

Results came. BOOOM

What a start of the month.

When the emails came flooding our webmails, my heart almost fell out.

But I passed, hopefully everyone else too :D

I didn't do too great. Nothing to shout about but I probably deserve it, considering the amount of times I zoned out during a lecture. 

I will do better this term. I know what I must do now :)

Happy celebrating tonight everyone. <3

Go where the people dance

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music 

- Nietzsche

Movement of the body. Form of expression.

Tells a story.

In 50 years time, I want to still be able to slow dance with my (already old) man while waiting for the kettle to boil. Just plug in the music, and move towards our favourite tune. With no care in the world but each other to hold on to.

That kind of love, is real. The kind that never gives up, never fails in the midst of adversity, never doubts.

You know, the kind that never goes away. :)

This is the story I want.

Overflowing with joy

Had student lunch after church today.

Amazing food and amazing people. They were so nice to open their houses for us.

After roast lunch, we decided to drop by a farm shop and take a walk around the hills.

Took these while walking out and about Bath today.

It was such a bright and beautiful Sunday afternoon. Loved the weather.

I could even walk around without my coat. 

It's the simple things like these that make life so amazing.

Having cake and tea, walking around, just talking.

Katie said it's like a scene out of Pride and Prejudice and we're on our way to find Mr Darcy or something. xD

Standing on top of the hill, looking down into the valley, it's so breathtakingly beautiful.

We just stood there for a moment in silence, taking in everything and appreciating His wonderful creation.

Love days like this <3

Brilliant ideas

I had a superfabulous idea today. But first, this...

I just watched 'The Vow'. You wouldn't even imagine how spontaneous it was.

One moment I was in my pajamas curling my hair with adrienne and ishaq (no he wasn't curling his hair) and the next moment we were calling a cab, 5 minutes later, we were IN THE CAB, and before we knew it, three of us were sobbing away in the cinema watching this heartbreaking movie. It was good fun, people. Life of a university student :')

And yes, I was in my pajamas the whole time :)

Views on the movie. It was just SAD. The ending wasn't even happy enough to outweigh how sad it was. I can't imagine it happening in real life. In fact, it did! Considering it was based on a true story. It just warms me that this kind of love exists :) I wish someone would have the capacity to love me like he loved her. <3

-

Okay, back to my brilliant idea....

Earlier in the day, I made a box. Okay, didn't actually MAKE the box. It was the sainsbury cup a soup box.

I think I might be a little obsessed with boxes, cardboard and paper. 

I don't know why. Something is wrong with me. But that aside....

You know how you always have little (mostly brilliant) thoughts right before you fall asleep but then completely forget it the next day?

I thought of this BRILLIANT idea. It's called a thought box. Best placed within reach from the bed, with a pen ready. Any thoughts, just reach out and jot it down! :D

Come on, even I have to pat myself for this. 

-

AND I also adopted a giant panda on WWF today. <3

My panda pack would be arriving soon. I'm excited to see pandas get saved :)

-

Today was very fulfilling to my soul. Goodnight loves. 

Operation Splinter

Somehow during the Chinese fan dance, a wooden splinter decided it was funny to pierce it's way into my finger. So I had that under my skin for days. (seewhatididthere) The problem was, I didn't do anything immediately so the skin kinda grew back over the splinter, sealing it for eternity :(

I wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't getting in the way of me writing. You see, it's my right hand and I kinda need it to function properly. :) It was jammed right at the joint! Imagine me writing with my index finger straight, not able to bend. That would be oddly inconvenient don't you think?

Hence, this brings us to Operation Splinter.

I promise you, I think I have surgical hands. Steady hand is the way to go!

Even though, I admit I was scared shit inside.

I have made a collection of photos of this operation.

Yeah, I wanted to share this half and hour life experience of pricking myself with a needle repeatedly.

That THANG PFFFT.

-

As you can see, I'm very proud.

So anyone with a similar problem, you know who to seek. :D

Yours truly.

Ps. Not my best look. I don't know what state of mind I was in when I took this. Just found it tucked in my photo album so, yeah... for a good laugh :)

Lent

First time I'm aware of Lent actually. It's embarrassing but yeah.

So apparently you're supposed to give up something of luxury for 40 days until easter.

It's purpose is to prepare out hearts for easter. :)

Something to think about actually. It sounds like fasting to me, just never called it Lent before.

I'm gonna give up......eating after 9pm. THERE I SAID IT. That's a pretty big thing, I hope I go through with it. Please keep me in check guys. Call me at 9 to make sure I'm not eating or something. :)

So what are you giving up this Lent? :)

One wish

A genie appears out of nowhere, asks you for one thing that you want in life and it'll be granted for you.

What is your answer?

To be completely honest, I can't answer that. (Probably world peace.)

But for ME, I really don't know.

How can I compare with those people who are really in need?

I think of people starving and I know all they want is food to fill them for the day, I think of the sharks and I know all they want is their fins back because ruthless people come along and cut them off to make soup, I think of the sick people in the world who just want health so they can live for a few more years with their loved ones. What is my need compared to theirs? Isn't their need much more greater than ten of my so-called needs combined together?

How can I compare.

Sometimes we forget how blessed we are. We complain that the washing machines don't work when someone else has to walk 5 miles to get to the nearest water source to wash up. We complain that we got cheapo shoes because the sequin came off when someone else do not even have enough cloth to cover their bare foot. Today, let's be reminded of that we could easily have ended up with much worse. Of course it's normal to complain and feel slightly short changed in life but just constantly remind ourselves and you'll find you'll be able to look past so many little things that would've otherwise made life a little more annoying. :)

Hashtag #firstworldpains on twitter. lol

Like how my strawberries didn't come in my tesco order as it should, but oh well. :)
