My Story..My Life...

No wonder Cherie is getting FAT! This is the second time in two weeks she is stuffing her face with food! But she has no choice...it is a joyous occasion after all!

The whole lot of us went to Tai Wu for hotpot. Never knew they had one. Apparently, Eric called up to ask and organised the whole thing with Kitty and Siuling. It was really worth the price because everyone was just absolutely stuffed! There was seafood, meat, veggies and of course the tang hoon! The only thing that was missing was desserts, which most of us were craving for after the hotpot! I know there will be people wondering how can you eat desserts when your stomach is filled to the brim. Believe it or not, in Explorers of the Human Body hosted by Super Junior, I've learnt that when you want to eat dessets, no matter how full you are, the stomach will always shift about and create space for that long-awaited desserts! Eureka!

My partner in crime for both buffet and hotpot!

And the food has finally arrived!

It just feels so nice to be eating together...to make up for the 团圆饭 that I've missed...

Just look at how full Eric is! Think mine looks about the same..XD

Wish there will be more gatherings like this in the future! Nites everyone!

Here's wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year! Hope everyone will be like onion head in those icons above, with plenty of fortune, success in work, relationships and education, and last but not least, great health!

Will be going to 太湖 tonight with Thuy, Kitty, Siuling and Eric (plus more whom I don't know yet) to have hotpot and buffet! :D

Thuy said my posts are always so depressing. Can't help it...because I can never remember to blog when good things happen (not like there are any lately)...because my blog is a platform for me to release my frustration and unhappiness...

It is Chinese New Year's eve today. Although I am still sad that I am not able to celebrate it with my family, to eat 团圆饭 with them and to pack hongbaos while watching those 新年特备节目, these feelings aren't as strong as last year. Could it be I am already accustomed to things here? Could it be because it hardly feels like Chinese New Year with all the lectures an placements? Or could it be because my parents did not send any bakkwas and pineapple tarts over?

一个人的团圆饭...I decided to try something new. The result: 蔬菜鸡翅什锦面 (卤味 version)
I had added four different kind of vegetables inside (carrot, chinese leaf, white cabbage and spring onions) As for the chicken wing, that is because I have no other meat left in the fridge. The finishing touch was to add an egg to it...味道还不错!

What are promises?

a) Something that is meant to be broken
b) When one says one thing and forgets about it
c) When one says one thing and do the other
d) When one says one thing and, due to unforseen circumstances, has to break it

I am sick of apologies. "Sorry" cannot do anything. I want actions now!

Or maybe I just need to forget about my disappointment with lots of stuff...

Been having fearful dreams lately...all of them still freshly imprinted in my head when I woke up...heart pounding faster than it should be...

First, mass group of people getting heads chopped off or bodies sliced in a frontal plane fashion by a guillotine...and I was one of those people in the queue...and people did not die immediately after being chopped. The weird thing was that within the same dream, this sequence happened day after day.

Second, being in a life and death table tennis competition. The dream was about all the preparation for the big day...tension and pressure building up...but the alarm clock saved me from knowing the result of the death match.

Third, my family being in a fatal accident. Worst dream ever! *shudders*

Are all these a bad omen for something that is going to happen?

It is -4 degrees celsius now...The weather has been crazy these days...I actually spot the third snowfall in Manchester a few days ago! It did not start snowing this early last year!

With the temperature trying its best (or not!) to crawl above zero degree celsius, I cannot go to bed without my jacket and a pair of socks on, burying myself under the duvet despite the radiator at its maximum power. :S

Last Tuesday was the day when I had to go to Timperley to make up one day of my placement. I woke up and looked at the temperature indicator on my laptop and it showed five degrees celsius. "That's not too bad.." was what I thought as I washed up. But when I was finally awake, the negative sign beside the numeric 5 was staring straight back at me! And the next thing I wanted t do next was to jump right back under the duvet into my bed. Of all days to choose, luck had it that I had to go out into the FREEZING morning just to make up the hours of my placement!
