Hong Kong Rugby 7's 2013

 

Okay so I finally went to the infamous HK Rugby 7's! Yes yes okay I'm such a noob and a loser, I totally didn't experience the 7's until this year, until I was 19 years old, when people from my high school had been going and drinking there since they were 13/14/15/whatever. Lol. I'm too much of a goody-goody and stay-at-home type of girl okay! And I was never interested in going.

Cherry first mentioned the 7's this year some time in February, because her boyfriend was one of the players for the HK team, and she told us she could get us in for free... it was the first time I even considered going to the 7's cos I wasn't gonna pay for something so expensive that I didn't even want to go that bad.

Anyway turned out in the end we couldn't get free entry, plus I had to go back to school to work on Sunday anyway... so I decided not to go. But then Jacklyn and Vikki whatsapped me at like 1AM that night asking me to go... and I thought... why the hell not?

Lunch Buffet at the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong

Last Saturday I went for the lunch buffet with my family at the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong! It was such a spur-of-the-moment thing - for me at least, I guess my family had been talking about it for a while, but my mum didn't tell me about it until the night before at like 11PM, after I got back from doing bao at the studio.

I was like half asleep when she told me... I told her I'd come (obviously I would wtf, free food for me + BUFFET) but I wasn't sure because I was dying from consecutive days of lack of sleep... I ended up going the next day. Haha. I even had breakfast before cos I was so hungry in the morning. Result? I didn't really have an appetite at the buffet and I felt so stuffed throughout, but I kept shovelling food down my throat because I'm a binger and that's what binge eaters do. LOL. I felt so guilty afterwards I didn't eat for the rest of the day... I didn't even feel hungry until next morning cos I ate so much during lunch. :x

Not sure if I should go for buffets ever again. Even though my parents said that going for nice buffets would now be a once-a-month thing. But I really don't think it's good for my mental health, especially since I have such a bipolar and unhealthy relationship with food.

Bye Bye Reading Week :(

Back to school after reading week... reading week was not supposed to be a holiday, but it was for me because I'm a lazy piece of shite. I paid for it though because the week was PACKED with deadlines and I basically had to do the work we had months to do in one night... :( It was crazy... I didn't sleep much at all, like 4 hours every night? I felt so disgusting and unhealthy, luckily I got to spend some time with my family and non-archi friends this weekend!

Monday and Tuesday consisted of a panicked rush doing my viscom work, because our midterm was due on Tuesday... originally I'd decided to flunk it, and I finished my shitty work by Saturday. But then when I got to school all my classmates were SO SERIOUS about it, like they were working nonstop on it... so I sighed a huge, exasperated breath and made alterations to my work... In the end I worked all Monday night after my crit and Tuesday morning.

Wednesday and Thursday consisted of a panicked rush doing my design work, because we had a review on Thursday. I slept at 3am and woke at 7am on Wednesday...

I was dead after our review on Thursday, but I couldn't go back to sleep yet because... we had a Build tech quiz and assignment to hand in the next day. So I stayed up studying and only got 4 hours of sleep again.

Let me just say I pretty much flunked the fucking quiz cos it was mechanical physics. We were allowed to use a calculator to calculate the answers but I didn't even once touch mine cos I had no fucking idea how to tackle the questions. It was multiple choice so I randomly filled everything in and called it a day... BUT! =.= I had to do bao. So I couldn't go home and sleep AGAIN. Wtf... 4 hours again...

Some pics:

Bumped into Soler (the... band? idek) on the way down to dinner near school on Wednesday night. So funny, I didn't even recognise them at first, I was skipping down the hill belting out "SOMEWHEREEE OVER THE RAINBOW" and I made eye contact with one of the dudes while singing... and I just thought "why is a western looking guy eating in THAT restaurant?"

Then Clar was like "omg I think that was Soler" and I was like "what." and then we asked them for a pic. LOL. They probably think I'm retarded.

Anddddd some concept models, because they look quite nice in a photograph in my opinion (not so much in real life).

Whitney's 21st Birthday

Last Sunday was Whitney's (and her twin Tracy's) 21st birthday party! It was actually quite a bad time to have a celebration cos we had design on Monday, and we were all so stressed from work...

But hey, friendship > school any day! In the end of this three year course, it's the times you spent with your friends that you're gonna remember, not the grades you got. (lol maybe I'm just reassuring myself but whatever, I do believe that!)

Whitney is one of my closest friends in architecture and pretty much my first friend when we first started university. I was actually really intimidated by her when I first met her because she looked like she was from an international school / the UK (which she was) and she was really HOT and FIT and FASHIONABLE and STYLISH and I was like WOWWWW typical ABC/BBC, so I was really scared she'd have an attitude or something... but she's actually SUPER nice, the nicest person I know! :)

Present I made for her! Clar and I also bought something else separately - a super expensive cookbook and a lunchbox because Whitney loves cooking haha. But I wanted to make her a special card / book of our memories for her FOREVER 21st birthday :) because honestly, we've been through so much together in just two years and I'm really grateful for her and I love her to bits!

We had Western style BBQ for dinner! Super yummy omg I totally stuffed myself with meat... it was also nice finally meeting Whitney's twin sister, Tracy, after hearing about her for so long! Though of course I was shy and didn't really talk to the peeps I wasn't familiar with, hehe. But happy birthday once again to the beautiful sisters! :)

Mini-SIS Reunion

I don't even know why we call our meet-ups "reunions"... it makes us sound so distant from each other. I guess when you no longer see your friends everyday, when you all go ahead and lead different lives, walk down different paths, live in different countries... you're no longer as close.

But I do believe it doesn't change our friendship. :) I think the great thing about me and these girls is that we might not talk for an extended amount of time, but when we do meet up we pick off right where we left off! :)

Actually we met up a few times in 2013, but we didn't take any pictures so consequently I forgot to blog about our hangouts... ha ha fail.

Our series of selfcams that took us FOREVER to snap... we took about a dozen really awkward photos... I don't know why we're so awkward when we're with each other LOL!

Anyway, this "meet up" was last Friday, and we were supposed to have lunch in Causeway Bay and then I would had off to school to work at 2PM, but Sarah had movers coming into her house at the last minute, so we decided to change the venue to North Point (where she lives) to make things easier for her... except that even though the movers said they'd be there in half an hour before we even arrived at her place, they didn't show up... for the next three hours. =.=

We waited with her at her place and ended up eating TAKEAWAY lol from some random Hong Kong restaurant. So tui (fuck I don't know how to translate this word), feels just like finals period when I'd lock myself up in the studio and not leave for one straight week and order cheap takeaway everyday...

Nonetheless it was quite a unique experience hahaha, we watched Asia's Next Top Model while eating and it was quite good! So I went home and finished the series as Pretty Little Liars won't return until June :( BOOO!!!

N's Girls Picnic Day ♡

Ha ha please don't ask why we named ourselves "N's girls"... actually I'm pretty sure I've explained this already before but now that it's been a long time since I've seen "N", I'm a bit embarrassed at how shameless I was wtf. Yeah if you weren't aware "N" stands for a full name beginning with, well, the letter N.

On Tuesday we went for a picnic! We'd been talking about having a picnic for AGES, like since January or something, since we came back from Shanghai. Well what better time to have it other than for Maisie's birthday? She's 20!

(I'm next in line. Clar and Maisie both turned 20 this past month, Whitney's turning 21 on Sunday... arghhh I want to be a teenager forever! Gotta treasure my last month of being 19.)
