feeling: Tired but Happy :D
watching: OLYMPICS, DOH!

Okies!!! Guess what everbody! Results day was on Thursday and...

I AM OFFICIALLY GOING TO WARWICK!!! Yaaaaaaay!!! :D:D:D

Funnily enough, I would have been rejected by my insurance choice but who cares when I got into my first choice, eh? XD My grades themselves were... passable, I guess, but they were enough to get me into the uni I desperately wanted to get into, so yay!!! 感谢主 and Warwick, here I come! (^______^)v

What's even better is that I already know a helluvalot of people in Warwick already (I mean, I was there last night at bible study and was there again today playing badminton with a bunch of students!) and I also happen to know at least 3 other people who are going to start in Sept with me! :D

Another wonderful thing was... Remember when I blogged about applying for a waitressing job at Warwick uni? Well, I got a call on Wednesday (day before results day) to go in for a job interview! :D

And my friend who recently graduated and therefore had to quit her job at the same place said if I get an interview I'm more or less guaranteed a place, so yes!!! Thank God for that too <3

Now I'm just worrying about my piano diploma result @_@;; I don't think I'll pass sigh... Oh well :)

Oh! And an update on the olympics: HOW THE HELL ARE CHINA LOSING SO BADLY IN BADMINTON?!?!?!?! I'm actually really not impressed! What is up with them?! We're supposed to be good at badminton!!! >_<;;

But I guess what we're losing on the badminton court, we're making up for it in table tennis :) I saw the China vs Korea men's team semifinal today and can I just say... Wow. Kinda makes one feel a bit sorry for Korea... They were very unlucky getting our Chinese team as opponents in the semi o_o;;

We won, but I was beginning to really feel sorry for them when they weren't even able to score more than an average of 6 per game >_>;;

But still, GO CHINA! XDDD

Yus, I'm very patriotic =p

Olympics have really inspired me to do more sport too! Played about 2 and a half hours of badminton today followed by 45mins of swimming. Darn I feel good :D Tho I forgot my goggles so my eyes kinda sting from the chlorine water, but oh well :) Will be playing badminton again tomorrow morning :D

YES! It's now 08/08/08! HAPPY OLYMPICS EVERYONE!!!

In celebration of the olympics, I have done a complete revamp of my personal site. Seriously I love it so much now. If I loved my layout before, I love this one 100x more! I love, love, love it!

It's now sooo much more organised and pretty <3 Granted, I'm using a pre-made, but still!

If you want, please feel free to go visit my site ^_^

I'm so excited about the Olympics! Seriously I think I'm more excited about it than I was for my 18th birthday. I'm so happy that it's in my homecity as well as motherland! Oh I'm a definite patriot x]

Bedtime! Will be glued to the TV broadcastings when I get up ;)

Yus... I was supposed to update this a while ago but forgot haha! Anyways, I cut my hair again (yes, I cut my own hair and have been doing for the past year or so now =3) last tuesday evening, during Sparks week ("why haven't I put the photo up yet then?!" you ask? Because I'm a lazy, forgetful cow that's why! And lazy and forgetful are a deadly combination =p) and thought I'd share the photo with you guys :)

This is my hair now. I didn't take this photo, it was taken during a picnic to the park with friends from school, another reason why I didn't update the photo til now, aside from pure laziness and forgetfulness:

And I just realised I never showed you guys any of my ball photos did I? =O Here are a few (and you can see the difference in hair too)! ^_^

feeling: Productive, yay!

VERY productive today!!! And it makes me so happy! In fact, this whole week I've been doing more than just sitting in front of my beloved computer <3 (although of course, I have had a few hours on it every day to satisfy my fanfiction cravings!)

This week I've been going to a thing called Spark in the Park, an event that went on for a week, arranged by the churches in Coventry primarily for children aged 5-12, although of course, people of all ages welcome! It has activities for them from 1:30-4pm and then a spiritual session around 2:30pm-ish with evening sessions from 6:30-8:30pm on Weds, Thurs and Fri.

Really good to help kids/people have fun but also learn more about God. It was such a success <3 But yeah main reason I went was to help out Winwin and Ali who were volunteering (I would have done, but missed all the sessions for it so yeah =/) ^____^

So on Monday, I wasted time, but on Tuesday I went to Sparks, then had a picnic with schoolfriends on Weds then went to Sparks again in the evening, Thurs was raining, so stayed home again and got myself hooked on fanfiction--again, then went to Sparks again all day on Friday ^_^

Yesterday I worked again. There was so much food left over, yay! So we were allowed to take home some as well. I took home a load of desserts for my family: Tiramisu, chocolate cake, strawberry...something-that-looked-utterly-delicious-and-tasted-just-as-good, so... yeah ^_^

Went really well :D And today, I'm going off to play badminton in a bit, then going to town to meet up with the Youth Group, give or take a few people, then off to Chinese Church, although only to say hi cos we're all going to the final Spark celebration at a different Church nearby :)

And I should be getting my next paycheck on Tuesday hehe yay! <3 I'm so happy :D

On a final note, I have managed to convince another friend of mine to join NuTang :D I think he's going to pretty much use his NuTang a lot more than some of the other RL friends I've dragged on! He's going by a pseudonym of Michael...something. Go say hi to Portal if you haven't done so already! :D

He joined a while ago actually, just never got round to sorting out his NuTang properly x] Now he has, so I'm making a formal introduction.

Okie, dad is doing karaoke downstairs and calling us down to sing Sound of Music. I'm only too happy to oblige, if only to stop him blasting out his voice all over the house via our massive speaker system. See you everyone! :D

Okiesss so most of you know how much I need a job, yus? Yus... well, I managed to get a temporary waitressing job :D Well, I was a waitress for a wedding on Saturday because a friend of mine recommended me for the job, so yeah! And now she's asked me to be waitress for another wedding this Saturday too, so yay! ^_^

Thing is, though, she doesn't do them very often, so will call when she needs my help, but otherwise it's not something I can live off.

That being said, I'm looking for a waitressing job on campus atm and have just handed in my application today after putting down details of the waitressing I did during the weekend with a reference person! So hopefully I can get a job! :D The lady said she'd give me a good reference, so yay! ^_^

Oh, I have 7 invite codes now... probs got more after I gave another out ^_^ He's started doing something with his page already, but it's still taking a while to code for him, I'm a bit lazy busy to help so yeahhh, he's doing it on his own. I'll give a formal intro once his page is up and running! :D

About my posts tagged 'ficlet', well, I guess it's a little ficlet I'm putting together, written in the first person perspective based on... experiences (not necessarily personal)? x] Haha, well, whatever...! It seems a little depressing, eh? Very angsty. But that's life! ^_^

Rightyo! Oh! I think I will also collect my money soon :D I'm so poor... TT_TT

feeling: Numb
watching: Nothing

I was looking at photos just now, of you two, just to see what I'd missed and what I will be missing.

Wow I've missed a lot.

And as my tears silently fall, I feel my heart becoming numb.

Slowly getting used to the fact that we would never share these moments together as a first for you.

Slowly coming to understand why she meant so much to you, why you were so reluctant to let her go.

Like you said to me before, what makes a couple stay together, if not for every experience they've shared together that makes it so special to them. I know you wouldn't have wanted to lose her, given the choice.

I've seen how much you've experienced.

I'm still seeing how much you've experienced.

I found a video, but I could not bring myself to watch.

The photos are endless. Why did you give me that website?
