- I got to travel.
Places visited/going to visit: Sydney, Perisher, Singapore and Shenzhen.
Although it was just a short 2 days of snowboarding in Perisher, it was fantastic. The snow was great, I got to do some night snowboarding, it wasn't too cold and everything was pretty much smooth. Well, apart from the disastrous flatlands and falls here and there. Plus, it's great to be back to normal world again where everything's at a normal, slow, human speed unlike Hong Kong where they're moving twice the speed.
- I got a visit from a friend from France.
It was a non stop shopping for 2 weeks in Hong Kong, movie watching, late nights.
- I did some massive shopping.
I got to do major shopping back at Sydney where I got quite a few new bags(taha, 7, 8?), summer tops, bottoms, the list goes on. Then I did more shopping in Singapore (just returned yesterday) where I bought omg, A Charles and Keith bag and pair of shoes. My new found love, Charles and Keith. When Lea visited, I also got loads of new stuff - accessories, rings, shorts, tees, etc. Of course, all my insane shopping (I think I spent about maybe a few thousand HK this month? OH S*#%) was a solution to a problem - my lack of clothes for next year. Next school year. So, I didn't really do all the shopping just because you know, I HAD to do it. And of course, I wouldn't mind. In fact, I wished I could've stayed longer in Singapore to do some more shopping, or at least have one crazy night with Nat and Kim.
Things I bought in Singapore
1. A Charles and Keith mustard coloured bag - S$48
2. A pair of Charles and Keith sandals - S$31
3. A long necklace - S$$5

5. Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz - S$16
6. The Pursuit of Happiness by Douglas Kennedy - S$18

- I had some wild times.
On Sunday night, my brother and I stayed at Kim and Nat's place till about 1:30am before my dad rang the house. We played card games involving fast reactions, joked around and even talked about the old times. "I want to play mono polo". Oh and the insane laughing we had that we couldn't stop, I was even tearing up from it.
- I watched all the latest movies in the cinema, times 5.
Movies watched: Inception, Salt, The Sorcerers' Apprentice, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
I believe there is another few more movies I have to watch - Step Up 3D omfg, Letters to Juliet, Toy Story 3... I have to at least watch Step Up 3D before this - Alright, I don't intend to kill my happy holiday mood buzz. Oh oh, and did I mention the love for salty popcorn? August is definitely the month for movies.
- I didn't have to suffer the entire summer heat in Hong Kong.
It was winter in Sydney which was great, I mean, finally back into the cold away from the burning UV rays, sunlight whatever, in Hong Kong. Even in Singapore, it wasn't as hot as in Hong Kong which is crazy.
- Project Runway season 8 is released!
Finally, I can get back to P.R after quite some time. Pretty good timing too since I'm almost finishing The Good Wife. And then again, P.R can help take my mind off waiting for the season 2 and season 6 of Vampire Diaries and Bones. Ha. Speaking of TV Shows, I have another one that can keep my busy - Minute to Win it which I still have to download.
- I finally met up with Hilary and Anna after what, at least 6 months?
Anna arrived like, way early, I arrived kinda late from lunch with my rents' friends and stuff and Hilary, oh tsk tsk, as usual. :) I didn't really buy much that day, surprisingly but I finally bought the right eyeliner! Yes, I now can't leave the house without it.
- I've downloaded heaps of new music and gotten rid of the old lame ones.
Bye bye old kind of rock, pop music and hello alternative music. I'm in love, with Margot and the Nuclear So and So's and maybe a little of Trading Yesterday but right now, nothing beats Margot and the Nuclear So So's. My music taste's been changing quite a bit but I think I'll be on alternative music for quite awhile. It's really starting to grow on me. Alex Band, The Stereophonics, Lapush...
- I've hardly been sad.
It's true, I've been enjoying my holidays so much I don't think there really was a time where I was really really upset. I mean of course I've had one or few of those times where I was on the verge of cracking because of my mom, but let's just say I have a good control of my emotions. Appearing completely normal and not saying a word, while your mom is bitchin' in your ears non stop, is definitely a skill.
Honestly speaking, I'm not really feeling dreadful about ahem, sch-hoool. Half of me is alright with it but the other half just dies everytime I think about waking up at 6:30am in the morning again. ANYWAY, plans for the next few days are probably, mapling, sleeping in, watching Step Up 3D since it's released this thursday.
