Happy times

Now I understand what it means by being too painful to sleep...Stupid heels! Never wearing you again. Ugh. Anyway, since I woke so early this morning, I will blog about my most recent London trip last month. Sometimes, the most simple activities are the most enjoyable. Especially with such an awesome companion - Xin Ning :D We went flower-hunting in St James Park!

White cherry blossoms!

White cherry blossoms with a yellow centre seem to be my favourite colour of blossoms now, because they remind me of daisies! (funny how i just like to associate everything i like with them now, just because)

my most-liked picture on FB to date! yes i know it's because of the flowers, not me laaaa...

Buckingham Palace! Didn't manage to see changing of the guards though...

all these golden statues and sculptures remind me of Paris...

all these pretty flowers everywhere remind me of Keukenhof Gardens!!! Because they're mostly tulips...

we just sat on a bench and watch the pelicans go by...(swans would have been more romantic though, lol)

Xin Ning, I still like our camwhore picture better than the one the passer-by who couldn't tahan our camwhoreness took for us! Because that picture cannot see the flowers le....

yay! another reminder

We went food-hunting too! BBQ Ribs!! (and they tasted very good :D)

We went for a night of culture at the London Palladium for Wizard of Oz! Awesome stall seats allowed me to capture the picture of the stage so clearly, hehe

The ceiling..

I love this musical because it's so interactive! (for kids, but i memang kid, hehe) Confetti fell down as fake snow during one scene..so cool!

Happy faces :D

Food-hunting again! Dessert at Princy's for supper =D

Easter time at Covent Garden

I like this egg best!

Xin Ning so cute! Plus I super love this restaurant - Tinseltown, because of all the calorie-laden gorgeous American food! Didn't get to try the typical dinner meals because we came for supper

Thier milkshake so awesome! I had - guess...Oreo's Go Nuts (of course!) and The Ambassador

This was such a good trip!

Thanks XN for being such a good host and tour-guide! I will really miss you after this..sighz.

And, I will miss a lot of people. Detest packing. It always means goodbye, be it to the people or the surroundings. I will miss my cosy little room at H9 (despite living alone, but there were good memories nevertheless). I will miss my university friends most though. Sigh. What reason will I have to call any of you again! No more common grocery-shopping topics or uni-related topics. . .

Suddenly depressed again. . . But oh well, truth be told, all I can think of now are the exam results. . .Okay, don't think so much. Yes. I'll go have some breakfast now. Tata!

A day with Sherlock Holmes. From Robert Downey Jr's portrayal to Benedict Cumberbatch. Intelligent men really turn me on. =)

Love you xoxo!

BBC's Sherlock series are really awesome! And they take place in modern-day London. So cool. Love the accent. Love the backdrop of the scenes. Love the plot. 

I can admit, looks really are secondary to me, because what I really like about him is his intelligence! Of course, Robert plays a more handsome Sherlock, but both portrayals of Sherlock are pretty faithful to the book I guess (I've never read the books, but their characters are exactly the same even though one is a movie and one is a tv show). And after watching Game of Shadows, I couldn't get enough of Sherlock so I went to watch the TV series. For 90 minute episodes, but only 3 episodes a season, I watch pretty fast. 

Men, they don't need to be muscular, or jaw-dropping gorgeous, to attract me. Just be brilliant, witty, smart, but not arrogant, somewhat aloof yet charming (maybe because they have trust issues?), with some eccentric qualities (aren't geniuses mostly weird in some ways?) and some inner childlike innocence that can really endear them sometimes. I'm not describing anybody I know personally, but somehow I noticed most fictional guys I fall for are like that. Cue Damon, Chuck, my 4th prince (okay, Ruoxi's 4th prince) in BBJX, they're all kinda brilliant at scheming men with no friends except only maybe one best friend (trust issues, which also makes them quite prone to jealousy). Ahhhh! Too bad I'm so dumb I'm forever out of their league, so admiring from afar is the least I can do =p

P.S: A girl still can dream can't she?

Slow me down

I don't know what is it about this song that can never make me tire of it. 5 years since I first heard it...and I still remember exactly who introduced it to me. =) But I don't know why...5 years, I guess people can change, feelings can change, friendships can change too. I might not show it but time and time again, I wonder who really are my true friends. Those who always keep in touch with me out of their own accord? Those who don't judge me about being childish and whiny when I really am not? (Btw I only manja with people I like, so...) I try not to hold grudges but some words take a long time to forget. Call me sensitive, maybe I am. Sometimes, I get tired of being judged and assumed to feel a certain way when I don't that I just completely stop caring. Ignore completely. Keep a low profile. Stop writing so much on twitter or even my FB statuses because sometimes one sentence can be interpreted and dissected to mean so many things I never meant. And I don't understand why they don't ask me directly instead of second-guessing me. Hence I start keeping my opinions to myself. Even blogging here...I try not to be so personal if I can help it. Although I can honestly say out of all the social media platforms that I use, this space reflects mostly on how I really feel.

But this song somehow evokes many memories, those of times long ago. Maybe, of a certain friendship, which I feel has changed. Probably. I don't know. Maybe I'm the one who has changed. I do miss what has gone though. 

My head and my heart are colliding chaotic

Pace of the world I just wish I could stop it

Try to appear like I've got it together

I'm falling apart

Save me

Somebody take my hand and lead me

Slow me down

Don't let love pass me by

Just show me how

Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down

Don't let me live a lie

Before my life flies by

I need you to slow me down

无爱无憎，无忧无虑

"从爱生忧患，从爱生怖畏；离爱无忧患，何处有怖畏？
 是故莫爱着，爱别离为苦。若无爱与憎，彼即我羁缚"

一朵花，一片心；无爱无意，何必还执著？明知放手是最后的选择，再舍不得也要向前走，无遗憾的继续走下去。这里，那边，这都有什么分别？最后的结果都会是一样的。春天百花怒放，总有一朵是属于我的；或许冬天才是我的季节，即使无花，但也不可忘记雪花也有它们独特的美，也可算是花一朵。只要会懂得欣赏，懂得珍惜，懂得凡事都要往好的一面看，懂得看开，懂得放手，就够了。死也无悔。

P.S: I'm obviously still very much in love with the beauty of 步步惊心 :)
