Gingerbread men, reminiscing...

No.. I am not reminiscing about gingerbread men =b. Thought it'd be nice to post up something nice.. since it's half term and all. Thanks DL.. for actually telling me to post about gingerbread men.. the photo of you will come later.
So far I've been enjoying my half term.. I love the fact I know I don't have to be anywhere.. anytime and just sit all day drinking tea or coffee and have my gingerbread men xD. Stupidly I was meant to bake my gingerbread men on Saturday.. but I was too busy that day and you know, decided to start baking at 10pm on a Sunday night (like the usual person does). I haven't baked since what 3 years ago? Or 2 years? And the cakes I used to bake took me hours.. just read my captions on the cake photos from Facebook =_=. Luckily it took me an hour or so.. and they turned out pretty good.. if not better than good.. they taste really great! Maybe I should stop with the healthcare ambition and enter the Great British Bake Off 2013 =b. I surprised myself, since it was the first time I've ever made gingerbread. I did ice some of them.. but I couldn't find my electric whisk.. and so I made the icing by hand =__=.. trust me water and clumps of icing sugar does not pass for icing. I made it green.. but I didn't put too much food colouring in.. cause artificial stuff is bad for you.. even if it says "natural food colouring".. don't be gullible.. look at the ingredients.. E3789271897389 numbers. Here's some pictures :). I made star ones too! Gingerbread stars =D..

My recipe should be perfect by the time Christmas comes :).. and hopefully I'll find my electric whisk by then >.<.

I always reminisce on life when I have the time and compare where I am now to where I was a year ago. I had a job a year ago.. and I'm glad I haven't got it anymore. My whole day went like crazy.. and I spent most of my working hours either being cold or confused. I.e. walking down a street in the middle of a city I do not know, and delivering a takeaway meal to the wrong house... walking back to be greeted by chavs who order something that isn't on the menu =_=*. But those days are long gone.. and in my free time I can do things like bake gingerbread on a Sunday night instead :) . Having Facebook back.. hasn't made much a difference. But having it back sometimes means I reminisce on what life was like with certain people.. and sometimes it's nice to see that they are doing well for themselves.. hoping that any problems they had have now been resolved. Sometimes Facebook paints pictures.. and sometimes I wish it didn't. I hope I can paint the people I know a real picture one day

<3.

Shots. . .

It's been a while since I've seen some friends from my old school >.<.. and well yesterday it was my friend's 18th!! Woop! Anywaz.. it happened to be on a friday.. sooo we all happened to go out. And this is what happened :).
When I got home, I had a shower.. got dressed etc.. and my mum was trying get me to eat more rice.. but I couldn't cause I had lipstick on.. and well I was eating pink rice. I knew I had to fill up a little cause of what might have possibly happened later.. you will see. Anyway I got a taxi there cause I didn't want to walk or bus it.. since it was really cold, dark and impractical in high heels. I got there earlier than most people.. and I bumped into someone from my school who was lost ^__^. So then we made our way together. D got there a bit late.. but I'm glad she did cause the karaoke program wasn't working.. so I complained to the manager.. who actually said they would give a deposit back if we didn't enjoy it (like a boss*). Yeahh.. cause my friends can really sing in Chinese =__=*. But they sorted it out after my concern and most of the stuff was working. When everyone arrived.. I felt all happy inside (yh I know that sounds gay).. but I did. I hardly see anyone I know ever.. and it felt like I've lived a decade out of their lives. I said this in my previous blog but ..I
honestly miss seeing familiar faces and being able to smile and joke with everyone that knows me. I guess that is what happens when you have been somewhere for 6 years. Don't get me wrong though I love my life now.. just missing some faces. Anyway..
How it went
We started off with some songs.. can't actually remember which ones.. but some random Peter Andre? And then D started dancing & rolling (and no not on the floor ><).. We ordered food.. which in the end turned out to be too much.. and a bit sickly and then came the drinks. To be honest I was having a good time anyway.. but cause D was 18.. it was almost inevitable. On my birthday I didn't get drunk.. mainly cause I just wanted a quiet birthday.. but for D let's just say... we ordered shots xD. I was trying to get her to wait 20 minutes so I could get the cake ready and find the right time when everyone was in the room.. but it was sort of hard. So in the end even though she didn't know.. we got the shots before the cake.. and a couple after the cake. I think it got to my head after the vodka and lemonade and on the 4th shot.. offt. I have to be honest.. I've never had shots before and the picture someone took of me looks absolutely awful! I pull weird enough expressions without alcohol.. but I swear that picture is one of the worst I've seen of myself.. and that's really not an exaggeration. Let's just hope D remembers not to upload.. cause I swear imma hit the untag button faster than Usain Bolt doing 20m! I've never drunk to even tipsy or anything like that. I finally found out that I am a HAPPY DRUNK.. cause there are some people who get really sad when they drink and there are some people who get really happy and lively.. Which I'm quite pleased about =b.
Mischelleous
Two main things, bothered me last night. One being that the taxi driver kept looking in his mirror at me.. telling me how beautiful I was.. and whether I had a boyfriend or not. This is why girls! We need to carry a mobile phone. Was feeling pretty safe there =__=* not.
The second thing.. annoyed me a little further. Since we were having our own little party in the karaoke room.. there was 2-3 more other rooms on the same floor. One room consisting of a bunch of Vietnamese drunks and another with chinese. How can you even be drunk at 8pm? What are you going to do with your 3 and a half more hours? Sleep?! I'm not going to be sad to them (yes I am) or racist.. in fact I can't actually cause I am half viet half chinese.. but what the hell were they on? On a normal day.. I don't like guys looking at me.. on my friends party I decided to allow it. Everytime I tried to talk to the manager.. they would all try to talk to me. All asking if it was my birthday.. and I still don't get the disappointed look on their face when I said no.. that doesn't even make sense. Oh and there was this one guy who kept saying daa-ling (darling in English terms) to me.. and I just ignored it. Like I said, we had shots before the cake.. so when I got the cake I was in a mood where I felt like I had guts. When everyone was inside singing.. I went out to light the cake and bring it in. But some of them blew out as I walked.. so I relit. When I got to the door.. these guys (who were either drunk or insane were sitting outside our room) starting blowing out the candles.. and as I was just going walk in with the cake (manager opened the door).. four of the ten candles went out. In my mind I was literally going to kill them.. literally. The idea of not being able to properly surprise my friend and having some next randomer blow out my friend's candles before she did was enough to make me swear at him.. and I don't really swear tbh.. so it is a big deal for me. I've never swore at random people.. maybe just at home when life is stressful.. but that's about it. I just remember pointing at him and saying "if you want to mess with me, come here and mess with me .V.!" Yeah don't reread that.. it sounds wrong. In the end the manager relit the candle and sent them back to their room where they should have been (instead of watching my friends sing and dance.. bloody pervs =__=).
Still with it
Anyway, I won't get the mischellous stuff over shadow my friend's party.. that was just a small part to it. She loved the cake.. I hope she did ^__^.. and then A decided to fully shove cake into D's face which was absolutely genius xD.. (we have that on camera don't worry). My aim was to make her day as enjoyable as it could be.. even if it meant having to have shots. I guess it wouldn't be as fun to drink by yourself. Me and A were still with it.. and we still talked sense. In fact it scared me how well I was talking.. cause I knew everything I was saying.. and I had good conversations with people. I kept telling everyone I WAS NOT drunk.. and I know some people couldn't distinguish between me being drunk or sober.. I was in fact sober. I wasn't off my face.. the only thing that changed was that I was more hyper and that my walking was a little off (a little does not mean walking into walls) & I could walk perfectly up the stairs. And I could also perfectly kill any viet guy that looked at me again! D on the other hand.. did a cartwheel-handstand on the sofa.. and it doesn't sound dangerous.. but really it was! A, my smart friend decided to buy the last shot.. which really wasn't a good for D in her current position. Thanks to her parents, I managed to get a lift home safely :). I think she did have a good birthday.. and although I missed half of it by not being with her at school.. I hope she's ok in bed right now.
Home
After I got home I lay on the sofa telling my dad "dad I'm a bit tipsy.. not drunk yet" and so I went upstairs telling my brother about the event.. and lay in bed feeling like "offt". Thinking to myself.. 'what are you doing to yourself, you're drinking poison'. I asked my dad to get me some water... bad idea! I drink quite a lot of water everyday cause it's really good for you. If you're a biologist.. read this. [More water potential in the body means the concentration of solvent will be less, allowing more water for your body and mind-i.e hoping to counteract the alcohol] Let's just say the 2nd glass I had.. the same result happened.. eurgh you guys don't want to know. I am wondering though what the best remedy is for drinking.. I heard coffee was good.. but that in itself counts odd. But guys definitely not water! Don't try be a smart ass like me and think water will cancel out the alcohol.. well it may do.. just not for me =__=*.I ended up sleeping in my party clothes..makeup off, shoes off and slept so well! I could have changed but I sleep in whatever when I'm tired anyway.
Today
I automatically woke up at 6.45am.. lol normal school day like nothing happened the night before. Then I started talking to parents about last night.. breakfast etc. The funny thing is, I don't even have a headache or a hangover or anything. I feel completely fine, if not better cause I'm smiling at the fact I'm not hung-over and my friends probably are.. (News update: friend just texted saying D was up at 2am on the trampoline doing handstands =D.. and A is feeling rough) Lucky me! I never did think I was a lightweight with drink.. and maybe the rice my mum tried to stuff down me helped :). Thanks mum.. anyways guys I'm off to buy some potential new shoes.. cause the ones I have now give me blisters :). Enjoy your day.. and I'll post soon enough.

P.S: Everyone needs a little Justin Bieber sometimes.. Baby baby baby ohhhh…

At The Moment....

Again it's been a while since I last blogged... oh and if you happened to randomly stumble across my youtube video I made 2 weeks ago.. just know that I was REALLY REALLY under the weather >.<.Anywaz.. I would write about my 18th Birthday, but there are some photos on a camera that I cba-ed to get off.. so this is just a random blog, what not =b. Finally it's Saturday! So glad I can rest and actually properly look at what I got for my birthday, feels like so long ago my birthday just happened.. but really it was just the Monday that has gone. I still haven't been able to eat all my chocolates.. but I listened to the album my brother got me.. and I actually really like some of the songs <3.
Today
I woke at 5.10am! I dunno why? But I just did, I felt like I had enough sleep.. but no one was up.. so I just slept more xD. I haven't been to play table tennis for 2 weeks, so today I played. OMG! It's one of the best table tennis sessions ever.. I played these pros.. and OMG they are crazy! This guy started teaching me to hit it better, and I actually think I'm improving. Ahhhh table tennis ^__^. I'm still scared of my mum smashing the ball at me, but you watch when I get better mum imma smash them all right back :) (obv not right back at her though). After that I haven't been up to much.. just got back home. I guess I plan to eat the rest of my chocolate.
Missing
I realised during the past few weeks, I really miss some of my friends :/.. I miss their company and sometimes I wish I was there to experience what they do. I feel like everyone has gone somewhere, even though they are always there. And sometimes I wish I could support them more when they are stressed :/. Yo dongliner! If you read this.. thanks for telling me about your medical related stuff =__=*.. really appreciated it woman! Shout out to your sister >__<! Also some of my friends have gone to uni.. and although I don't talk to them as much anymore.. I feel like their so far.. I guess I liked them living in the same town as me so we could link whenever. Now I know their having fun with fresher's and new life.. I don't want to disturb them. But we'll defo link in the holidays =D.
College
College has been going smoothly. To be honest, I feel like I don't even go to college.. because it's so relaxed compared to my old school. I realised after walking to college everyday, that I don't get tired anymore. I'm up for almost any walk.. as long as I'm in the mood. I was thinking of joining the gym.. but when you have lessons on the top floor.. those stairs are killer =__=.. try running up them when you're late.. it's like a work out and a half! So far I've had 3 lates.. and tbh you wouldn't think being late would be easy.. but really it's too easy. I literally have to accidently have an extra 10 minutes sleep.. and I'm late :S. I really like the college library! For once it's actually a quiet place to work.. back in the ILC it was still noisy. Sometimes I sit next to the window.. and I just stare at the rabbits and squirrels running around. Sounds stupid, but really I'm a bit too easily amused tbh =).

Note to self and other table tennis fans: Don't be silly and wear flat shoes to play for hours.. you get blisters all around your feet.. and walk awkwardly around town =__=*

Broken promises...

Hey guys how have you been these holidays? Today's blog is sadly not more about my China holiday.. but just really why on earth I say things I never fully commit myself to. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pleading guilty for any crime.. just that sometimes don't you sometimes find you intend to do things, but either cba or just well cba. It's like my China vlogs, I somehow managed to convince myself.. that it doesn't need editing or publishing. Ok here's a very recent example..
My friend
brought a new diary to use as a planner and to add any personal notes to. I liked that idea, since I haven't written in a proper diary in years. So I went out to Rymans to buy one.. coming home very satisfied. On that day.. I wrote about my day.. yet to know that now I haven't written it since. (It's only been 3 days =__=). Not only am I forgetful.. but I never get done what I first thought was a brilliant idea. I've found over the years that promises or things I intend to do.. never get done at all ;/.. Don't have a clue why today of all days I've decided to blog about this. I guess the answer is.. things happen. For the time I've had off school and the holidays.. I do things there and then when I feel like it. Say for instance, I want to read a book.. I'll go read a book. Or if I want to call a friend I'll call a friend. Especially since it's the holidays.. I sleep at 2am and wake up late.. cause I feel like it. I guess you could say I've developed "an relaxed" attitude to life. I'm happier than I've been for a while.. so I guess I can share this with you guys :).
Short Explanations
I think throughout this year, everything I go through is a long story. So when people ask me how's life.. I say it's fine... like any old person would. I leave the long stories for my closest friends xD (sorry guys) and leave out the details with people not so close. Another reason why I don't go into my personal experiences.. like holidays isn't cause I'm lazy.
The Banana/Krispy Kreme Theory >;D





        VS



You know....................
 sometimes you have one side of your brain which is the rotten banana.. and the other side is the Krispy Kreme. Well.. sometimes when you're feeling all bright and cheery.. the rotten bananas wraps itself round the Krispy Kreme. Getting my drift :P? Basically I always think of the drawbacks of the things I do, before doing them. Which means I can never get anything done at all. I also don't like repeating stories I tell my friends.. mainly cause it's less exciting to tell and I sometimes forget who I tell which part to. Oh and the last reason.. things happen. Man that sounds so sinister.. What I mean is.. as we get older.. we have different problems.. and my friends also have different problems. Sometimes theses things distract me from blogging or anything else. I don't even put music on my phone. I just add YouTube links to my favourites bar and click on the one which is right at the bottom. I 've noticed that the blogger's I also follow.. haven't blogged since July? I guess some of my reasoning can back them up too? And yes I do read your posts whenever I'm on :).

I do actually feel bad when someone out there is expecting a video from me.. or a post I mention. You know even that one YouTube video I do actually regret posting :/.. there were viewers not just from my country but other people. In my opinion I personally wouldn't watch myself on YouTube.. and I have to when I do check before publishing my videos.. and I cringe so badly whilst on the phone when watching it.. needing my friend to give me the thumbs up I need to hit the publish. I guess we can always be our biggest enemy.. maybe that should be a new year's resolution for 2013.

Giant China Plog (Photo Blog)

Let's get down to business... I've decided that it might bore some of guys if I talk all about my holiday.. so I guess a photo can be a thousand words. And a Plog will mean millions =b. Enjoy guys, there aren't any real personal photos here.. just to give you guys an idea of where I went. Vlogs are being worked on.. although they aren't very gd vlogs =b.

Back to blogging

Long time no see guys! Decided to go back to blogging since I'm in the summer holidays. I haven't been very busy.. it's the sorta of busy that is nice. You have time to really relax, but you're never bored :). Sorry it's been so long.. been on my holiday and back. Actually I've been back a month from my hoilday.. lol not jetlagged anymore. I actually have loads to blog about.. since it's been months since I last updated. Probably start talking about my holiday >__<.. and my holidays at the moment. That reminds me, I haven't talked about last year's summer holiday in France/Switzerland/Italy. When I get round to it maybe. I did vlog in china btw, not sure it's really quality stuff.. it's all a bit jumbled and I gave up after 2 weeks.. saved my energy for walking :).
Thanks for waiting for me, my beloved followers...Starting on China Blog now =)
