Hong Kong

Hello, I'm in Hong Kong at the moment. Jono and I arrived here at around 7-8am yesterday.

ANYWAYS, IT WAS OUR LUCKY DAY:

Apparantly, Cathay has oversold their tickets, so they let the frequent flyers to have an upgradation to business class for FREE. :DDDDD! >u<~~~~ I slept through the whole plane trip, because you could adjust their chairs into beds, so they were very comfortable.
They gave me an agnes b. make up bag as well.

ANYWAYS, since we were in the airport, we played THE AIRPORT GAME:

It was on my brother's phone. The aim was to draw paths for the aeroplanes to land. They have small and big planes. The number of planes increases as you go, so it gets more difficult everytime!

I watched Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on the plane, because I woke up at 6:50 again. It was a bit violent, but the story was quite interesting. I might go buy their book.

TADA! HONG KONG! We had to get home ourselves, because our parents were too lazy. The weather in here is pretty rainy and moist. Not to mention that it is extremely humid as well!
I bought a Vivi to read on the bus.

Mum and I went shopping downstairs together. I think she was much more excited than I was. (: We each bought a cath Kidston bag.
Later in the afternoon, we went to the other side of Hong Kong to Timesquare and we went to one of my favourite shop, ZARA!
We spent two to three hours in there. It's nice how they have different sessions for different ages.

THEN, we met up with everyone else and had dinner with my relatives who came back from America. We had our nothern Chinese cuisine again. After dinner, we got home pretty early. Our shopping centre was pretty packed already with people waiting to watch England verses Germany.

We all got home to shower, and Jono and dad went back downstairs to watch the game. I slept pretty early last night at around 10:30. Now my parents went off to work, and I think I'm waiting to go to the gym.

(: I'm going to go shopping with my cousin today, and might as well meet up with my dad in MK!

BYEBYE

SEMI

Hello, sorry I havn't been posting a lot latley, despite the fact that I'm on holidays already! It was semi as well last night!

I got home pretty late last night, showered and slept at around 1:30...then I woke up at 6:50 this morning. Exactly 6:50. I think I'm used to getting up early, and can't fall back asleep once i do. Wow, I have only had around five hours of sleep!

ANYWAYS, here is a list of what I did yesterday morning:
1. Lay everything I need for semi out on my bed.


2. Stitch the fallen button back onto my blazer.
3. Stitch up my head piece.

4. Fix my new pair of broken legging, with nail polish.

(You see how one side is much longer than the other?)
5. Blink my bag.



ACTUALLY, let's fast forward to the last three hours before semi:

The preperation took much longer than I expected. I spent over an hour doing my hair. :/ The texture looked a bit solid when it is first done.

Tada!



Umm...dad phoned Jono to take this. I was actually running around the house trying to find my lip balm -- I did my nails and so I couldn't write a down a list of what to bring beforehand. Jono's writing was too ugly that he himself could not read it as well. Hmph


The Honkies :D










I really love this photo <3 href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHHWCgL44bHbGnDMKa1MOgIQ1Ugs0yZ2BG2ebI840vuhbyXKjDaTEsL1niW3IbO3AbD3gXL5tQU-PQ_6a43m4YbD1PUwVzlbE_tG6MwxICs_27CMRce8sYh-8WOXqb4HtTtue1DLgzyHk/s1600/DSC02763.JPG">
These two were sooo pretty :P Serena has even better photos of them on her camera.




Hayley and I were being major retards.




Our entrance is a bit dark

MOCHA CAKE

HELLO, North Shore was really a torture today. I really don't want to look at math anymore. Sometimes I wonder what happened. I used to love maths. Seriously. :/
Oh no, still a math C exam to go.

ANYWAYS, Jono said he felt like a cake after dinner. It took me awhile to think of what to make:

THE ULTIMATE JESSICA CHOCO GLAZED MOCHA
I used a mocha cupcake recipe for the sponge cake.
I really dislike homebrand now...their self raising flour didn't work very well, as you can see.


The cake should have been higher than this.

HOWEVER, NESTLE HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE. This was the best chocolate glaze I have ever made before...thanks to their Nestle chocolate buttons (: They melt very well, with using both the stove or microwave. They are also very good to use, in making decorations as well. I used the white chocolate buttons to make the love hearts on the cream. I don't think they were pink enough though. Maybe more colouring next time!

Savoury

I think I have taken the advice from people around me. Less sugar in everything I eat or drink. :/ Latte still tastes alright without the usual amount of sugar :)

ANYWAYS, to incorporate with my 'savoury diet', which I do not think will last over a week, I have decided to make a carrot and beetroot bread:

Jono says it was a bit tasteless, but I reckon it was alright. We ran out of fetta.


Chicken turkish pide with Hayley yesterday.

WELL, it is a short post for tonight. I'm going to watch master chef now. BYEBYE!

I Hate

chemistry. Hello, by the way.

ANYWAYS, I ripped my solubility table out from the back of the chem paper, like the teacher suggested us to. The last question was on it. I was so stupid that I never saw it, and chucked it into the bin after we finished. LIFE. I chucked out what could have possibly lead to me to success in life.

Well, a bit over exaggerated, but STILL.

I really love life, you know. As much as I love pink. This page makes me happy when I look at it, because pink makes me happy. Smile everyday.

Really, I am okay.
(:




...T________T



WHATEVER. Hayley and I went to eat at city afterwards, turkish pide. Then, we shopped, but neither of us bought anything though. The sales weren't that great. :/
I got home at five and was so tired...so I felt asleep untill seven. Just in time for dinner.

Jono took this with my phone. He actually thought I was awake. I never ever slept in the afternoon before. Especially in my uniform.

My aunt accidently bought fish instead of bacon. I have no idea how that is possible. Therefore, we had fish with linguine for dinner, instead of a bolognese.

I didn't feel like eating today...I even let Jono have my mochi after dinner. I actually pretty much regret it now.

HAVE I SHOWN YOU GUYS MY HAMSTERS BEFORE?

Phone camera

I introduce you, Jacobie. He didn't take care of the hamster very well after I left.

Stupid

Hello, surprised? I'm blogging on a monday, HAHA! I was actually going to post something last night, but I realised it was a bit too emotional, maybe. I'll just keep all that inner feelings to myself. It wouldn't go very well with the colour pink anyway.

WELL, this week had gone by pretty quick. State High is quite slow, I think. We're only stepping into the second week of block exams.

My chilli harvest:

That can last us three years.

ANYWAYS, can someone please tell me one thing. How much sugar a day will give you diabetes? My friend thinks I'm going to get it. I agreed. Maybe in fifty years or so. Basically everything I eat during school days is sweet. I LOVE adding maple flavoured syrup into my breakfast oatmeal. (: Ohmygod...we made so much sweets lately, such as jelly, marshmallows, and I also bought a mochi yesterday. It's sitting on my desk right now.

I might eat it tomorrow.
OH NO, and I want to bake a cake today ):

ANYWAYS, I don't think I have been eating properly lately. I cooked this for myself the other day for lunch:

I don't even know what that is. Scrambled eggs with whatever I could find in my fridge. I think there was...corn, cheese, muhroom...then I played with the wholemeal bread. Cut them into stripes, sprinkled with oregano and salt, and grilled them. Very crunchy and nice.

OH YE, I think I have a pet :D
His name is charlie. I have no idea how he survives, but he'd been living in our shower room for over a week now.

I always find him just when I started showering. He is not afraid of water, but occasionally climbs onto the soap bottle when the floor is too flooded. Oh, it is a baby gecko, by the way.

Just to show you how big he is, when compared to my finger. (:
Cute, ay.

ANYWAYS, I cooked dinner last night, but I didn't take a photo. Here is what I cooked for lunch today:

Nothing special :/ Stir fry udon with octopus and broccoli. Udon tastes so much better after sprinkling grilled sesame on top though.
