This journal is partially friends-locked! I love getting to know people, so please don't hesitate to add me if you want to (: All I ask is that you leave a message introducing yourself.

Comments are screened. Blog crews are here.

Basically this post is going to be a lot of bitching and griping ...

➫ Apparently I'm headed to Shenzhen / Hong Kong from 18 Dec to 24 Dec. That's good news, right? Right.

( News at 10. )

Question! Has anyone been to Shenzhen and would like to tell me what are some things to look forward to? The best my mum can come up with is "We're going there to walk around and look at the rivers", and that's not very convincing at all. I'd appreciate any little bit of help here.

➫ And because there are no afternoon flights to Shenzhen on the 18th and I have a piano exam at 11 am on the 18th, I have had to push my exam FORWARD! TO THE 14TH! THAT'S FOUR DAYS' LESS PRACTICE! WOW TALK ABOUT SACRIFICE. And because I'm switching out to a Haydn piece in lieu of the Beethoven because of my exhaustion issues, that's like ... two new pieces I have to prepare! In two weeks!! THAT'S AWESOME.

➫ Aaaaand because I have to push the exam forward, I have to go to two different places tomorrow to confirm the details and book a new studio practice session. That leaves me with ... the rest of today, tomorrow night, and all of Thursday to study for Contract! TALK ABOUT SACRIFICE, MUM, I'M SURE YOU CAN.

What is this, I don't even.

I am a huge perv and like to draw moe girls

Wahhh contract

Dear blackdome, I cannot thank you enough for the presents, even though I have already done so ;v; And because I am incapable of flailing in real life I will do it in words instead, that dress is so very lovely and oh my goddd when I saw the card I nearly screamed. Thank you so much!!! It made this horrible week so much better. ♥

(P.S. I forgot to ask you last night -- I had a couple of missed calls from some strange foreign-looking number the other day, was it you?)


L to R: Linguine bolognese with mushrooms, Caesar salad (sans chicken) with quite too many croutons, both served in darling Ikea dishware. This is going to be like, the bulk of my diet for weeks to come. Following the crazy panic attacks, I have been put on a medically-imposed vegetarian diet, and while it's really healthy it's no mean feat for someone who has been used to eating meat for years. No meat, no coffee, no tea, no cold drinks, nothing greasy, nothing spicy. I am feeling so miserable right now, guys. Healthy, miserable, and always hungry.

I have neither the physical strength nor the will to study for Contract and practise for my piano exams properly. I think I have more or less given up, at this point in time. Mostly I just want to sit around, read, write, do nothing else ...

Also, Teeth is probably the best song off of The Fame Monster. It might just be the best song in Gaga's repertoire, if I dare say.

Torts is done with, and I am done for, but hey, who's complaining.

I'm sorry for being sparse with comments this past week and heavy with the whining posts -- it's going to be rectified, I swear! Especially now that torts is over, oh my god, you have no idea how huge a load that is off my shoulders. Went into shock yesterday in the shower -- started seeing stars to the point where everything was sort of glowing, and everything sounded muffled and distant. I could still walk and think straight, though, strangely, but I was so terrified I was going to go blind or something. Immensely frightening experience.

( so i went splurging today after the exam to unwind. )

I've got loads of plans for after my exams end, so December is going to be an exciting month! ;v; I am also listening to copious amounts of k-pop. What the?! Who am I supposed to blame for this??
