*miao* i am in lurve with my bag.. hehehe.. in the computer lab now.. :P a bit delirious from the lack of sleep.. hohoho.. and in the top right hand corner is my new esprit wallet :X

love it loads cos it's loooonggggg.. i love long wallets.. :P and i think to me it looks rather grown-upish.. but not overly done so.. :D

and no.. i didnt buy an extra purse with the bag.. it came with it.. :P so yes.. exchanged the pencil case for the bag :P dont exactly regret it 'cept for the burnt pocket. burn so much till my jeans became hot shorts. eek. :X

but i love my bag!!! dont u love it too? heehee :P will take pics of baggie and me one day :D yaY!

i wish...

i could just sit by the beach..
and just listen to the waves..
look at the clouds and just think about nothing.

but once the silent bubble's burst
and reality creeps in..
u just have to pack up ur stuff
and head back to the realm of life that's waiting for u..

"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me
Jai Guru Deva Om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
Jai Guru Deva Om

Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me.
Limitless, undying love, which shines around me like a million suns,
And calls me on and on across the universe.
Jai Guru Deva Om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai Guru DevaJai Guru DevaJai Guru Deva..."

hard customer

hehe..
i realised one thing..
besides the jeans and 2 bags i've bought..
all the stuff i've bought....
have been on sale...
wahahaha!!! i am so cheapskate :D
but i like :P
it's a great feeling to have bought something u know was more expensive.. hahahaa..
esp. when u know you would have NOT considered buying it at all if it wasnt on sale :P

socialising 101

thanks to norman for the encouraging words.. :) really helps a lot :D

had a site study today *finally* for the horribly competitve course..
well. i just managed to break the ice for some of the students who i thought were incredibly haughty..

*miao*
and they were really really friendly!! well i guess the tutor had a part in making us sooo tense..
well i got to know some masters 1 students.. echo, man, clement and asoh :P
haha they're really nice people.. just that i got a different impression cos...
1. i never spoke to them on the first day
2. they never smiled..

so that's a good start.. :) i was incredibly blur at first.. cos i was to figure out the direction of the wind. and it's always confusing cos it's either where the wind is blowing TO.. or where the wind is blowing FROM. so yah. i think i seemed rather stupid at first.
but i had a WEAPON.

a COMPASS.. hehehehehehehehehehe..
so instead of thinking where the wind is coming from by looking at the map.. i had the easy way out.. and i think echo was rather thankful for that..

so there i was holding a piece of tissue.. looking at the general direction of the wind.. hahahaah.. but who cares if everyone was looking at us.. :P

so anyways.. that was that.. and oh!!!! mr. very-nice tutor aka. Prof. Edward Ng treated us to tea!!! wow!!!!!! isnt that cool or what. :P

so after all the site study.. i headed down to tst as mentioned in the previous post..
headed down to lesportsac.. and got myself this..

EDIT: well this pencil case is no more.. or rather it's been exchanged for something more substantial. the end.

Ramblings of the other half.

Sorry for the lack of updates but it is that i am so busy with dive club stuff and church stuff heheh and school stuff but it is no excuse i know. anyway think i will update on the different "stuffs" one by one.

School Stuff
Basically school has been alot of shit work cos the readings are sky high but at least i know how to go straight for the jugular instead of waffling abt reading nonsense. But when an occasional interesting case comes along heheh i jus get tempted to read the nonsense. Got this UK case of R v. Brown where a group of S and M dudes got prosecuted. The things they do are unimaginable, think fishhooks through the male organ eeks. Then there is another case called Collins where this English drunk bloke decided to climb up a ladder and peek through the window of a house. Then this gurl inside thought that it was her bf and beckoned him in and then they made out. Halfway the gurl cried rape when she realised it was not her bf. Then wah lah guy gets done for rape. So the difficult issue was what is CONSENT? hehehe is it an "agreement", a thing or a function? Tutor says it is a function to enable someone to forgo or delegate certain rights but better not bother moomoo with such tedious details now.

Dive Stuff.
Yeah gng diving this weekend but the thought of warning people of jellyfishes jus ain't good. And i have bought a big bottle of sin sin vinegar jus in case people get stung, so if i run out of sin sin vinegar i would use NOrman pee pee. heheh. Poor Boon kiat i forsee him getting stung all over. Imagine DAvid got stung on his lips wah liew must be a lot of jelly fish. Anyway jus finished packing equipment yesterday and i think it is much better than last time already. At least now with a run in change over method, everyone gets to spread out the work load and gone are the days where me moomoo and beng bitch at each other but those days were fun. So anyway now i made it a requirement for every comm member that is gng for the trip to be there for the pool lesson at least it would foster some sense of unity before we go up for the trip. Now hopefully that george does not screw my trip up cos it is the first time i am trip ic heheeh. May it be a smooth virgin trip ic trip. hehehe.

Church Stuff
Yeah finally the nicest Stuff of all. Anyway really feel so blessed to be able to experience God so closely last sat. Cos i was suppose to lead praise and worship but then i barely got any idea wat to do and i did not know wat was the lesson that was gng to be taught. So i jus hum tum the bible and asked God to give me a Psalm as an inspiration and wah lah psalms 48. which says briefly that "Great is the Lord and most worthy of Praise, the City of our God the holy place, the joy of the whole earth..." Then that is one song already. and the chorus of that song goes " And Lord we want to lift your name on high. And Lord we want to Thank you for the works u've done in our lives and Lord we trust in your unfailing love. For you alone are God eternal, here on earth and heaven above." Then the next verse came Mattew 6 whereby Jesus said to Store your treasures in heaven where moth and rust cannot destroy... And where your treasure is your heart will be also." Pardon for the paraphasing cos i am writing all this off the cuff. Anyway the msg was put God's love that is in us into ACTION. That means having Compassion. Like the bible says in James that Faith without deeds is DEAD so we must put our faith into action. That is why i continually want to inspire myself to make a difference to the people around me. First stop, Edmund at least now i encouraged him to go for cell group and i have begin to see a change in him. He is reading books and newspaper more often and taking his studies more seriously. Really God does wonders and i believe He can do wonders for you dear. From you entries i can see God working in you making you more open to people around and making you a blessing to people around you too. Maybe u would feel helpless sometimes but i know he is making you a stronger person and also a more independent person. Be strong dear and continue to influence the people around you. Jus wanted to encourage you to press on and do your best.

ramblings...

i thought i told myself that i wouldnt get the le sports sac bag..
but now something happened..
and i'm back to thinking about it.
heh.. excuses.

well mr. arnold palmer bag has been slowly fading from my head.. hehe..
well it's cheaper than le sports sac! well i dunno..
maybe check (and drool) lesportsac at tst tmr or something.. sigh...

anyway think i've been bitten by the consumerism bug here..
got so much new stuff to see.. and think the feeling of carrying / having something expensive gives me a rather heady feeling.. like tadah!!! i have something to show. but then again. what good is it? :X
so i need to get back down to earth and be normal again.
so it starts from lesportsac? :(

anyway i dont make it a point to get expensive things.
it just so happens that the thing i like is expensive.
so if i do actually get it, i'd be happy cause not only i've gotten the thing i like, but also because i managed to afford it. well. not exactly for the second point. but u get the picture.

guess it's a hk culture thing, that people get expensive things to state their position in society / make them feel confident / they just love ridiculously expensive things.
which can be so prima facie / superficial.
like some year 5 students can be so hoity toity just cause they're the most senior.
like whatever.

well on another note..
i'm really glad to be here.
not only am i learning to be independent and opening up to strangers, meeting more people, experiencing a slightly different culture...
but that CUHK is actually a better place to study architecture than HKU, contrary to what most people think!!
well hku definitely has a better reputation and stuff. but even one student (who's like the top hku aki student) recommended my studiomate to come here instead of hku.

wow. doesnt that say something.
and the general consensus is that hku students would rather come here if they had the chance.
but the thing is i dont understand why they didnt do that in the first place.
namesake?
then expect this reaction from me.
whatever.

so yay that i'm here, thank God that he planned it all :)
and shinya's a really nice tutor, hardly any airs and so approachable.. unlike the other 2 tutors who are in the same team..

so double yay.. haha..
well it's a slight consolation to what i'm feeling right now. ( u'll know if u know. if u don't, don't ask.)
so i just think that maybe i can't quite understand what's happening right now or why it's happening..
but i believe everything has a reason though it's not known now.
so i just pray for the best.

so well.. pardon the lack of pics..
not feeling too pictorial today.. later.

:P

*miao*
wee wee i am in love with this print, no?
hehe.. courtesy of le sports sac..
it's a happy cheery print.. called neighbour..

this cut here is my fav.. i have no idea how much it is in hk dollars.. but i bet it'll be in the low hundreds.. :X

next fav one.. the print is such that u need to get bags.. not little cluthes or purses, aka below..

can't see no shit yah? but it's more suitable for my pocket now.. sighhh.. haha.. just a little post of the stuff i've seen.. gg to dfs tmr to check them out.. just check only!!!

UPDATE: just went to shatin new town plaza to check them out. damn. limited styles and dont have the ones that i like. -_-"" it's fugging expensive too.. boohooo..

:(

sigh.. went to fix my laptop yesterday..
hk$300 just for inspection to diagnose the problem.. like wtf..
and another HK$400 for labour costs if i decide to let them fix it..
and additional few hundreds just to buy the spare parts..

*faint*

went shopping at shatin yesterday.. headed down to citysuper (this upmarket supermarket)
they dont just sell food, but household goods, gadgets, toys, notebooks, cameras, BAGS, etc.. haha

saw some cute things.. but decided against them cos of the fussy laptop..
:(
haha but it's good.. makes me spend less money on frivolous stuff..
saw an arnold palmer bag.. really cute bag.. bright lemon yellow straps that look so happy and cheery.. but it's abt S$60.. eeps.. no more $60 bags for me..

anyway headed down to the agnés b. boutique in shatin.. it's crazy man..
hk pipple are nuts abt that brand and are willing to blow hk$1500 on a simple black duffle bag..
the details are quite nice actually.. but it's just plain black nylon and a few nice details.. i bet they're paying 80% of the price for the brand.. eek. and the thing is that everyone has that bag!! there's not a day w/o seeing that bag on a different person.. *swoon*

i saw 2 watches that are really nice.. one a ladies watch with pearly white face and a small silver etch of the wold map on the face.very feminine... and another more manly, with a bold numbers on the face.. nice too..
haha but it's hk$2k.. like whatever. i'm not paying gazillions for the silly name. and it's not as if it's a swiss watch..

woah.. rather overwhelmed by brands here.. even secondary sch kids carry agnés b! there was a school kid in the shop too. and plenty more in the other upmarket boutiques like I.T., izzue, etc..

yikes!! ok i'd better take advantage of the nice and sunny day to do my laundry.. tata~~~
and mr teo, where's the post u promised on ur new specs?? hahaha :P
j/k lah.. just do it when u're free :)

today's weather's great..
walking back from studio when i felt a blast of cold wind..
oooo.. was suddenly reminded of the time i was in melbourne :P

is winter here already? goody~~~~
hehehehe.. and for once, the corridor to my room is colder than my room :P

decided to post here, cause i'm damn bloody irritated..
here i am, dunno how many thousand kilometres away from home, and i get a call,
"hello, heLLLoOO, what are u doing now?"
"have u calculated how much u spend already?"

-_-"

such lovely music to the ears
if i could scream and shout, i would.
but i didnt.

what's the point of asking me what i'm doing in that tone.
and i hate (seriously) being asked so often how much i've spent.

whatever.

mmmm~~~~

hehe..
the tshirts in the previous post...

FITS ME TO THE T!!!
hahahaha
well.. i'm ashamed to say.. that in all the excitment of finding cheap ts,
i forgot to try them on.... :P

but the smallest was S size, and it looked right to me..
heheheheh..
i feel like getting more... :P

mehhhh

this is another guilty post
i spent like a gazillion smackeroos today

so today, there will be 2 posts in the 2 blogs.. and obviously since my mum would read the second one, ehehhehe this shall be a more interesting post..

woe to those who dont know this blog. hehe..
my bimbotic side's showing again -_-

nyanyanya.. so these are my finds for the day... went to sogo at tst and miramar shopping ctr at granville road.. was really torn to get the 2 bags, since i've already gotten 2 bags just a few days ago!!! if it were cheap, then i wouldnt hesitate.. but then.. *ahem* nm... yes, that's the le coq bag that screams CHERYL!!! eheheh.. isnt it so me? :P

the other sling bag's from "ans".. when i got to shatin on the 28th, " i was like ok, i'm gg to find a bag of a5 size, top and bottom must be longer than the sides, it must have buttons diagonally at the sides, and must be greyish colour, and must look slightly roundish.. " and lo and behold, i found exactly what i described!! well.. the price not exactly so.. but sigh.. i got it anyway..

the 4 tshirts above, so cute eh!!! i thought i was dreaming.. HK$68 .. there was a price tag that said $199 followed by $68.. so i thought, buy the first at 199, second at 68.. but nooo!! there were all at 68!! no shit.. and surprisingly, i was the only one there.. hmmmm

yep.. i think norm would be drooling at the superman one.. ehhe.. sorry i couldnt find one in ur size!! in fact i think it was the only superman t left..

and the last one.. a japanese talking watch!! so cute ah.. there was one in white and another in black.. the funny thing is that i immediately thought of norm, and settled on the white one.. zzz.. anyway i'm fine with either colour.. org price hk98. sale price hk 69.. oooOOoooo it's the kinda buy that "ok! i'll get it!" within like 0.001 seconds of looking at the thing.. hahahahaha

:D

ok on to the next blog pipples!!
