Not that much of a noob now, am I. I'm pretty chuffed about how my new layout came out. Very fresh looking and not so "garang" (as Sharon called it) as my previous devilish red one. I do have other layouts that I downloaded but this is a keeper for the moment as I'm too lazy to alter it and customize it to my liking. This process already took me almost the entire last night. I'm thinking of renaming my blog. But I've none ideas at the moment. Suggestions are very much welcomed.
I feel the pounds creeping into my body again. And with CNY just a few metres down the road, I can't afford to do that as I won't look half as good as I do when I wear my new clothes and dresses. Sigh. My superficial side of me is revealing itself to the world once more. But it's alright to let loose and be superficial once in a while. At least I don't act that way too often when I'm around people. At least I don't think I do.
CNY to me equals to greens aka cha-ching, noisy households, chattery adults, long-winded dinners, yee sang (not that I like it very much), dressing up to impress one another, and of course the obligatory smile and false happy face plastered on. I just like the smell of new clothes. I do not like stuffing my face senseless just because it's CNY, it doesn't give you the right to overeat and gorge on sugar-loaded goodies and cookies and cakes. Though I seem to have developed a liking to mandarins which I never enjoyed eating before 2005. I shall stick to mandarins and no one can force me to munch on needlessly on sugary snacks at midnight. I think I shall force myself to engage ravenously in my Marketing text book and delight myself with my notebook and sweet music. It's a whole lot healthier than the calorie-ladden cookies and lunches my family and relatives have planned for us all come this Wednesday.
Tonight's the last night till Saturday that I can have my room all to myself before it's hijacked by my aunt and uncle. Time to spend my time lavishly and as much as I can snuggling in my bed and covers. It doesn't sound that bad. It's just that I feel like I'm leaving on a vacation of sorts as I can't sleep in my own bed and have to share my parents' room. The idea of people other than myself sleeping in my bed does nothing to relax me either.
In other news, I received a call from HELP where it seems that I was offered a scholarship to study at Hong Kong. Strange. If it was a scholarship to go to the States, I'd accept it immediately. Forget about the biggest island in the world. As long as the fees and accomodation are all covered for, I'm there. So, yeah. I decided against going for it as my lack of proficiency in the Cantonese/Hokkien/Mandarin language is quite humiliating and will definitely hinder me from ever going anywhere while in HK. The only time I'll ever go there is with someone who can speak Chinese and solely for shopping and foodie galore purposes. Now, I'm just praying that someone will contact me to go to US to study for the next three years.
Nothing interesting to report. So, bye for now and don't wait up too long for my next post as it could be a while before I can log on and blog away peacefully before getting disturbed every now and then as my privacy would be stolen from me.
