so here it is, shanghai 2012, march 12-21.
that awkward moment when it's almost mandatory to take photo(s) before flying.
met up with brother in shanghai, had lunch at this seagull park(?) place, with no seagull in sight..
also, my brother is the worst photographer, i swear. what is this?!
he didnt even bother to try and angle us to block the background people(like i did).
i have reasons to believe this is my first time eating that.
(then again, my memory sucks, so i won't rely on that)
i have an extremely sad story to tell now.
last june, my cousins and I went hongkong and on our ferry to macau, all of us were sleeping,
and when we woke up this is what we found in the camera.
and thus, we teased her meticulously.
but, this march, i'm ashamed to say(show you rather)
so ya. tragic story.
also, i absolutely adore my white cape coat, its oh so gorgeous.. and freezing. oh the things i do to look pretty.
(which is so ironic, since i was so mad lazy to wear my contacts and make up,save for some concealor because shanghai broke me out like crazy.)
and i actually brought half a dozen of hats there. i only wore 3 of them. lol
the bunnies were selling at 7/8 sgd?!
i was like, say brother, what's the singapore's policy towards bringing possibly contaminated animals into singapore?
i think i took awesome pictures of my grandaunt.
but i have absolutely no clue why my mom look plain ugly(happy birthday, mom. i love you) when i try to take photo of her.
normally i will post in up, and have a good laugh at my mom's expense. but lucky for her, it's her birthday.
anyway, look at that thing in the middle, people were constantly throwing coins at it hoping it will go inside.
and my brother had this genius idea of asking my grandaunt to go and take picture with it(nothing happened).
but i was side-eyeing him so bad all the while.
oh and in that temple, there was this very fashionable lady, probably in her twenties, carrying a lompchamp bag, and it made my day. why, you asked?
because that's the exact same bag my mom was carrying and i just had to tease my mom about it. like, mom, you know after this that girl will be throwing away the handbag while screaming"why an unfashionable auntie just had to have the same freaking bag as me?!"
so, after that, i was goddamn lazy to take anymore pictures, and all we did is shopping anyway.

Food before photos seems to be my long standing motto.
BBQ on 1st march
Titanic exhibition on 2nd march
28th march.
If you're wondering, I hope this post satisfy your curiosity. Because, yes I have no friends.
Hahaha, but seriously, I think I'm too old to take picture every time I go out now. :/
And the reason there is still many photos, you just have to thank my dearest cousins, who absolutely adore taking picture everywhere.
P.s:my mom was browsing the pictures on my phone, and she asked me this:"qi, 这是你啊?" so, geez, mom. How could you not recognize your own daughter! :(
p.s.s: make up and no make up got diff?

(No pictures too, though I have to say, the last time I went to celebrate xinyi's birthday, we didn't manage to take any pictures too. I can't help but to wonder if Xinyi a part of my imagination..)
So in love with this.

Birthday steamboat at ah yi house.
Awesome expensive fruit pie from fruit paradise? Hahaha, I seriously cannot remember.
(my ah yi said it was a joint birthday celebration, but no one remember me!! Hahaha. Mainly because my cousin is an adult favourite.no wonder I never like her!
Seriously, after 2 months of not blogging, I simply put a few pictures and call it a day.
Here's the question, where's my trophy for the laziest person on earth?
- Mood:
awake - Music:The 88 - At Least It Was Here
Instead I sleep
The amount of things(on my invisible list, to be honest) i said i would accomplished in this holiday turned out to be horrifying.
and its not horrifyingly good, its a horrifying what-have-i-been-doing-all-holiday kind of realisation.
which i will most regrettably admit
but no, i shall work my butt off to complete the list.. well, sort of, my invisible list seems pretty long.
and i will start with my closet(i hope..)
Soo.. apparently, i'm knee deep in debts(pretty clothes, my kryptonite).
my closet is bursting(according to mom. according to me, so not true.)
my cousin(the not shopaholic one) told me a theory that i conceded.
The Theory: My shopping tendency is currently at an unhealthy level. I might have an illness.
(you know what's the saddest thing, while confessing all this, i'm still fucking online shopping.)
But, let's not dwell on these depressing matters,
life is so so much more than materialistic concerns.
The sort of spiritual route i shall embark in the near future(do not know what yet, but hey.. one can dream right? nevermind i just found my dream bag, in pretty colours)
so really, no more material stuff from this line on.
I'm all for everything,
therefore, i will construct a list(visible, thank you very much) of the meaningful stuff im going to do for the rest of my holiday(no more frolicking in shopping centres(for the most of the time(LOOK, A BRACKET WITHIN A BRACKET WITHIN A BRACKET! it's like im doing maths all over again..)))
THE LIST(bold and underlined for dramatic effects, duh)
you know what, i was thinking what to do for my spiritual journey, and it reminded me of eat, pray, love(which i hate a lot)
ergo, i'm not going to do that anymore.
oh, the fickleminded-ness of my mind.
Also, i think i'm extremely two dimensional..
this is utmost saddening. Oh dear.
(i think im getting my dream bag! in brown and yellow! and red? yeah?)
On a happier note(for anyone that still reads my livejournal?),
i'm ending my long winded whining of nonsensical thoughts(and off to dream about prince charming that quote love quotes for me or you know, finish my duet)
my life is sad... hahaha, but really, i probably need to stop watching romantic movies/disney..

1. I realised that my sunglasses are always almost on my head.(i guess it's a travel thing..)
2. Pardon the vain-ness, we are extremely vain..
3. I realised that now i always almost update my lj once a month..
4. I miss HK!
5. Traveling with cousins = lunging at each other's throat. then make up within 10 seconds..
6. Wifi deprived = the painful state we were in for like 8 days. (lousy hotel or rather stingy yuqi..)
7. Need dim sum and lao po bing in my life right now!
8. I should go to bed.
9. HOLIDAY, WHY DON'T YOU COME A LITTLE FASTER?!
10. Recently, I am so addicted to Sara Bareilles! She's like so awesome!
postscript: livejournal is fucked. :(

Though I may seem naive if I cry as you leave, like I'm just one more tortured heart.
The hotel I was staying gave me this when I asked how to get to lan Kwai fong. Apparently, my Cantonese is that bad..
And really, I'm not going to post about hongkong, because the pics are not here yet! (under the pretense my cousin put on, very busy, I'm sure)
Anyways, I cannot wait for my exams to end and my holiday to start. It will be heaven!
But now, I must chase away the lazy bug, which, btw, is sitting on my shoulders right now. And start to study and finish my projects.
Motivation, why are we always on such bad terms? :(
And lastly, tell me we succeeded in trying to imitate my cousin's trademark smile(girl on the right).
Our attempts at hongkong Starbucks(damn cheap, I tell you! And you just have to try godiva's chocolixilar!!!)
Y/Y?? :D
p.s: I'm ashamed to say, but I'm still going to say it nonetheless.. I did not get any sort of clothes during the entire gss. I feel extremely sad, to say the least.

Graduation Celebration Dinner at ashton, then coffee bean for 'heart to heart' talk.
Apparently, I'm very awesome at celebrating everything and anything,
or rather i'm extremely good at coercing people to celebrate things with me.
and see the kindle, i so want that.(and caught in a dilemma of getting it or having a library in my future home)
also, i realised the dinner is a party of seven, but yet, only six people caught on camera.
hahahahaha, leslie's ghost or what!
sidenote: common test is next week and i have yet to study.. at all.
oh god, bless my lazy soul. :(
need to study, cannot study.
thus, i will end with I'M SO EXCITED FOR HARRY POTTER!!!!
*cue fan girl screams*
p.s/ today is my livejournal 4th birthday! ohmygod, right!

Awww. My babies all grown up!
(nevermind that my mom said if i didnt quit school i would have graduate too)
The happiness that flutters in my heart right now.
