Another quickie.. again!

I'm getting pretty good at these 'quickie' thingies.. (apart from the fact that I'm completely losing my writing skills. You don't really need much skill just blogging about daily events now, do you? Sighh..) I digress. Anyway, in my defense, it's not my fault. Something is seriously wrong with Blogger because I'm having major problems uploading (i.e. I can't) my *ahem* beautiful pictures from my holidays and in fact, any pictures really.. So obviously, I can't write loads and loads about what happened etc. Ah well, some of you may say that it isn't that big a loss, rite? ;)

Anyway, yes, I'm now back in good ol' Nottingham and have officially started schooling.. *sob sob* I'm still in a major holiday mood and can't seem to get serious about doing any work or even finish unpacking/reorganizing my room. (To be fair, WS's presence in my room 24/7 offers a HUGE distraction.. *grin*)

Plus the fact that my holiday concluded really well doesn't help either.. I arrived in London a few days before school started, to have a mini-holiday with my family and WS. This is the first time in years that my whole family (dad, mum and sis) have been on a holiday together so it was kinda fun. London's always fun for food, especially.. (Gosh, I sound like greedy pig, don't I?) We went to watch Mamma Mia (since I never pass up the opportunity to watch a good musical in this music capital!). It was actually not bad (though not great) and it was definitely entertaining. My parents enjoyed it most, though WS and I agreed it certainly wasn't the best we've seen.

And speaking of one of the best we've seen, my sister decided that she wanted to watch the Phantom of the Opera whilst we were in London (having never seen it). My parents (who have also never saw it) were surprisingly, very keen on the idea, so we went hunting for tickets and luckily for us, got 5 tickets to watch it!! So yeah, we went! Hahaha.. Fun huh? WS and I had a wonderful time, even though this is our 2nd time round. It was much more meaningful this time, considering the fact that we knew (well, I knew) most of the songs by heart. It was all I could do not to burst out in song in accompaniment with the fabulous cast! Heehee.. But seriously, to those of you who haven't seen it, you MUST go see it. Not to bring your expectations too high or whatever, but it's definitely worth your money since you get a really good deal: great great fantabulastically great musical score, terrifically talented and remarkable singers, truly impressive special effects, magnificent costumes.. overall, a night you won't forget! :)

We did a bit of shopping (there's a massive summer sale going on now in London) and met up with PY, an old friend.. had loads to eat though didn't do much sightseeing. Overall, we had a great time in London and I was really sad to come back and say goodbye to my family. (They're off to Germany for dad's conference or something like that..) Ah well, guess I'll see them next time I go home.. (which would probably be ages!!!)

Sighh.. I truly hate going back to school..

Another quickie..

Yes, another quickie.. I'm leaving back for the UK *sniff sniff* in a few hours, and am busy finishing off my packing and saying my goodbyes.. sigh.. hate this part of my holidays.. Ah well, at least I'm going to be seeing WS when I get back, so that's the only good thing that I'm focusing on now..

I've been trying to post my blog posts of my trip to China for a long time.. unfortunately, I am having MAJOR problems with Blogger.com in terms of uploading photos and it's terribly frustrating! So again, I apologise for the wait. (The annoying thing is that I was actually excited to put up these photos and have even wrote all the relevant stuff for it! Grr...)

So anyway, next time you hear from me, it'll be from the cold, unforgiving land of UK.. (haha, it's not so bad..) Had a really great time at home with my cutesie and adorable brothers and meeting up with all my friends, so I'm definitely sad to say goodbye to everyone.. *sniff sniff*

PS: A special dedication to my good friends, the 4 'ji mui's.. it was fantastic seeing you gurls again, I really enjoy you gurls' company everytime I'm back. The hot, popular, pretty girl will definitely miss you all! To MY, I knew you were going to spring J on me! haha.. Nola, it was nice meeting him (and his messy hair) and like I said, whatever it is, I truly hope you're happy. To Jojo Chan, I'm so LUCKY to know a Hong Kong celebrity and hope that you only appear in the decent magazines and not the *ahem* not-so-decent ones.. hehe. AK, good luck with IC, hope everything works out! :) And to KSA, hope you pass your exams with flying colours, and don't work too hardla.. otherwise, you'll grow to look old like MY! muahahaha..

Ni hao!

Greetings from the Pearl of the Orient! :) Yup, I'm currently sitting in the Executive Lounge in the JW Marriott Hotel in Shanghai, China, enjoying the dim/romantic lighting, late coffee (I'm actually drinking cold milk) and calming music in the background while typing away. I'm currently on my holiday trip in China (I've just arrived a few hours from Beijing after being there for 4 days) and despite not originally wanting to come in the first place (see here), I'm actually enjoying myself quite a bit. (Of course, the fact that I get to stay in 5-star hotels thanks to it being daddy's business trip does contribute to the whole experience.. :P )

Anyway, I shan't write too much, this is just another quickie as well. Will definitely put a full report and loads of photos up here when I get back home (yay!) and find the time.. :) Until then, toodaloo and don't miss me too much!

P/S: Just in case you're wondering, I managed to pass all my exams (though it must be mentioned here that I passed only barely..) and am thoroughly relieved! Let it be known here that I vow to work harder next time (as opposed to the last-minute stunts that I've been pulling for the past few years) especially since my next exam is going to be my finals! (GASP!) But yes, this is my err, 'new year's' resolution!
