Red Hair

LOL can't believe I'm typing this post like three months after dyeing my hair red?! The colour's all faded off now, I'm left with a bit of reddish tint at the top of my head and a horrible light brown colour in the middle and tips of my hair... sigh!

I don't know whether I should go back to red (I LOVED it!) or back to black. I really, really liked having red hair and everyone said it suited me really well but it's just too high maintenance. I didn't really like washing my hair once every three days and with cold water as well... I'm always cold so showering with cold water is a big no-no. I mean, during the summer I can stand the cold but it's already autumn... :S

EDIT: More red hair photos!
(Because I want to organise everything into one post, lol)

Cherry's 20th Birthday at Fleur de Sel

Another N's Girl's birthday has come! Starting this entry with the funniest ever picture of Cherry and me, checking out each other's boobs ;) woops our true sexual orientation revealed HAHA!

It was just another day at the studio - a very busy one too, I must say, because we had design the next day and we were suddenly stuffed with an extra viscom lesson at night (they notified us about it that morning! Thank you HKU Architecture) and an extra history tutorial the next morning. How sad, and the semester had only just begun... so we didn't really celebrate much. But oh well.

Photos above: Blew out the birthday candles, sang a birthday song, yadda yadda the usual birthday stuff... we were gonna have a nice dinner at Fleur de Sel but because the random viscom lesson suddenly bounced in, suddenly we had to rush everything... the class was supposed to start at 7pm, which meant that we needed to eat dinner at 5:30pm or 6pm, so we weren't even hungry. =.=

The waiter kept asking us if we wanted to order more food, but we couldn't possibility stuff another crepe down our throats after a late lunch and a birthday cake. Still, the bill amounted to nearly $500 for one starter salad, two crepes, one hot chocolate and three earl grey teas. Hmmm. Expensive to the max, but I guess the food was quite nice. :)

Hello Year Three!

Entry typed 6th September 2013

September 2nd marked the first day of my final year at HKU. The day I'd been dreading since even before my Year 2 final... and finally it's here. Back to the all nighters, the anxious sleepless nights. I'm not sure if I'm more scared or excited for this school year! Either way, it'll be a challenge I'll learn and grow from. Photos from the beginning of semester:

ASO 2012 Group 4 open sem rice at Katsuisen! It was great to see these peeps again! As for the sushi, I had sooo freaking much. And of course we ordered more non-sushi dishes as well but omg the grilled salmon nigiri. *drools*

N's Girl's lunch at Sinmei Tea! Missing Cherry who hates vegetarian food and green tea with a passion. And I somehow managed to miss out taking a picture of the tofu burger because we'd already dug into it before I remembered that the rule should always be: camera eats first.

Shabu shabu dinner at Gyujin in Causeway Bay.

Random lunch outing with the girls one September afternoon at Le Fauchon. We just randomly stumbled across the place. Umm the food wasn't that good tbh.

Ending this entry with two class photos of Archipelago, September 2013. Here's to a good year. Good luck to myself because I'll need it.

Hank's Farewell at TED's Lookout

Went to have dinner at TED's Lookout one Monday night after work for a farewell dinner for Hank. He was leaving to Spain for exchange! The restaurant was my suggestion actually. For some reason, I've become the "food person" of my group of friends =.= but it's only because they're not bothered to think of spots to eat... and because I'm really passionate about food, I suppose. I didn't take any pictures of the food though, oops! The taste was good but the portions were TINY. Not really appropriate for group dining, I feel. But the ambience is nice for a date! After dinner we headed to Slims just down the road for drinks. The waitresses there kept trying to sell us their ribs... like they asked us if we'd like to try their ribs once every 15 minutes or so. No means no bitchezzz.

Dress code that night was "colourful", a running gag within our group because a) architects tend to dress in all black, if not just black and white and b) Hank is one of those said architects. Um, I tried my best with the dress code wearing my bright red skirt without being dressed too casually or ridiculously because I had to go to work with the same outfit.

Wishing Hank a great semester in Europe!

Catch Up with Erica!

This will be a short post because I don't really have any pictures / we just had dinner but I met up with my old friend Erica after work on a Friday night! We actually met up last summer too haha, but if I remember correctly, we didn't meet up for like two+ years before that... cos she went to study in England during Year 12 and Year 13!

It was nice to catch up :) she's so nice and knows so much about make up ha ha so she can teach noob me how to be a girl. I was quite satisfied with my lazy routine of just washing my face with soap, cos that's basically what every girl in the studio does (you choose to study architecture, you give up your beauty) but that's not the case with normal girls I guess. LOL.

We ate at Pumpernickel in Causeway Bay! It tastes the same as the branch near my workplace in Quarry Bay, so-so. Hopefully I'll see Erica again in December! (If I'm not swamped with work / if I don't look like a train wreck after all my all-nighters this semester)
