a picture worths a thousand words

and if thats the case, i hope the pictures can make up for my long absence.

couple wallet! woohooo

brunch at caffe habitu with amiga...plus revision obviously as you can see my pencil case

for some reason this place makes you work harder than you usually do,

and it has some special healing power...

its not exactly feeling like home

its cozy, but special, not something you'll visit everyday

and because of that, you chat, and you chat with sincerity and audacity

oh perhaps its just the italian interior design that confuses me

or maybe it is the people i go with that makes me feel so happy :)

conclusion: don't ever underestimate kids' financial power. lol

those dark days during exam period...fighting till i see the sunlight

and keep reminding myself nothing is impossible...this is what i got after removing the cap

rushing off chinese!

trying to comprehend numbers and symbols...a poor attempt though i must admit

giving up is not easy at all...it is just another type of persistence. do you get me?

but you can see what intense studies do to your..uh...head.

oh and general health too! cos you're hot and you're cold, and you're yes and you're no

wearing cardigan upside down, flipping the bottom over my shoulder...

there you go, a 'poncho', if you would.

obviously freaked out...reading through Brighton Rock once again

(probably the worst approach ever for lit revision)

and that's when a cup of tea comes in...don't sleep don't sleep...

and how can you miss out comfort food! yoghourt with banana and cereal

no kidding, i survived!

amiga you've been too nice to me...eu amo voce. and i mean it.

the best experience for palates...my grandma's steamed chicken

the mother's-day-like father's day...in 20 years time this outfit will be mine muahaha

like mother like daughter...the shopaholics/hand-me-downs

oh did i mention i have cleopatra's hair?

rounding up the father/mother's day with shanghainese dinner

edit:

i almost forgot to write something about the layout. well pretty obviously i've changed it.

the new design templates are simply awesome and computer illiterates-friendly, which i'm very pleased about it. thanks google. and out of all the beautiful pictures, i chose this bedroom theme. it's quite metaphoric...its just the most (supposedly?) comfy spot at home, and there's where i usually dream, come up with my own thoughts, write a bit of diary...pretty much suits the purpose of this blog, but except this is a declaration of wordlove and a platform of sharing.

oh fmsl.

and you're wondering what does the S stands for. bahaha afterall i have to swear. this is part of my language. duh.

and this is the greatest irony ever - i'm starting my 'fashion blog' (its not quite one yet) beginning with my school uniform.

it has been 12 years. 12 years living, studying, growing up in this everything-blue school. and for the ever first time in my life as a blue monster, i can feel the tiny little extent of freedom for grooming myself up before school without guilt or risk taken.

i guess it is some kind of reward for being loyal to the school for so long, that after all these years of traditional chinese styled education method, you now deserved to be not too explicitly liberated for a tad bit. and teachers are now your supposedly closer friends, so i guess it will be awkward to pick on every tiny details.

yes thats how i've been wrapping myself up with my scarf for...4 years. eh, yea, 4 years. (yes i know i am getting old. seriously, who doesn't?) oh i've never really looked at it this closely and wow surprisingly it doesnt look too grostesque, outrageous or colloquial (right i know thats everyone's wrapping themselves, but then this does look different, doesn't it?).

and there's this bun - the controversial part of my school outfit (ahemmm) - while some say it's like a flower, some say its a exploding bomb. a-ha-ha. and in the end i was suggested by disciplinary persons to be tidier.

and if you look closely, i'm actually wearing earrings to school (recently picked up my old earrings - more blogging on that to come), and if you look even closer, they are actually blingbling golden little hearts - even more controversial (wtf?!?) since our school, a very traditional one, restricts all sorts of accessories except a pair of round golden studs no bigger than 5mm right in the middle of one's earlobes ('oh puh-lease.' 'yea i know, but thats my school.'). but hey, it turns out not that tacky, and most importantly it brightens up feminine features, dont you think? :)

by now you should know why i'm saying fmsl. but then, if its never this suppressive, we'd all ended up mix-and-matching our daily outfits, pouring (very likely slutty - look at the past school picnics and funfairs) make-up on ourselves every single day (and gradually deteriorating our skin eww), flaunting designer clothes (let's admit it - we all are brand-crazy), wasting time on unnecessary extravaganzas while the time spent in total is good enough for revising the whole curriculum twice or thrice. and only by that you will truly treasure every single weekend you have and think carefully before you wear anything.

and still, there are still some ways to brighten up your look at school, aren't there? at least i feel better with my fluffy bun and shaped studs.

p.s. bahahaha credits to mrs lee for helping her daughter to order ORABRUSHES! now i owe this blog a product review.
