Last Day @ School and Developing a Habit?

Annyeong! How are you?

I had my last official day of Year 11 today! I finished at 12:30 today and from now on, I am on study leave and no more school. I should miss Year 11 but I am just happy at the moment. I have had my last Biology, English, Geography and French lessons! (I probably am dropping more subjects but those came to mind first.) It sort of feel strange saying goodbye to another school year. However, since I still have exams so it is technically not over yet. Year 11 probably deserve another goodbye when all my exams are over. 

I had an interesting (last) History lesson today. My so-called strict teacher bought the entire class cake! A chocolate cake! Okay, it's my second chocolate cake of the week since my Biology teacher baked us a cake but still, we had chocolate cake and went outside to play cricket. Cricket was...... FUN! (That's me being sarcastic.) The weather was not great today. Like seriously, yesterday was so hot that it was suffocating. Today was like: Hello! HAVE SOME RAIN! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~ It wasn't raining that bad, but compared to yesterday, it's like we got hit by a storm. The ground just went Blargh -dies- and got super slippery. I was already pretty terrible at cricket, it's been nearly 5 years since I last played, and wearing full school uniform with a skirt DID NOT HELP! I was destined to fail. Because: Failure = Awful skills + Skirt + Slippery. Being the last person to bat was totally no pressure. NO PRESSURE AT ALL. I was terrible but I had a friend who just slipped over, so I feel much better (because I am evil like that) and claimed that he did worse than me because he totally did. What made my failure even more apparent was the fact that all the boys on the other team took like 10 steps towards me when I bat. That made my awful batting looks more apparent than the word apparent. 

Discovery: I think I am developing a habit. Do people even develop habits yet my age? Wow, that made me sound old. I am seriously just 16. Anyway, I am developing a habit of clapping. Sort of like this:

My face sometimes does that. But I look 70% less pretty.

Example 1: Oh really? That's great! -clap-

Example 2: Haha (laughs) -clap-

Example 3: Woo~ Fighting! -clap-

Example 4: YAY~ -clap- 

Am I weird?

Laugh of the day: (If you are not laughing, you no know music!)

                    

May, Summer Plans and Chocolate

Hello! The weather is exceptionally fine today. I am in a t-shirt and have a window open. Seriously, can you believe Britain can have nice weather like this in Spring? No, I can't either.

I know it's already 5 days into May but still, Happy May! I am sure everyone is probably going to have a better May than me since I have loads of exams. Speaking of which, I start my exams on the 10th! It's like 5 days away and I am super freaked out because...... it's 5 days away! I have been revising like hell but exams are still really nerve-wrecking. 

It is a little early but have any of you got plans for the summer? I just received a letter like 2 days ago that I got accepted to this summer school. I was super excited. Okay, it's only a 3 days Food Science summer school so it sounds boring to most people. However, it seems like a lot of fun to me and I can't wait! I am also planning to do some work shadowing experience placement or get a summer job. It's quite hard but I want to make the most of my summer since it will be the end of all my stressful exams. 

Have you tried these babies? 

or

If you haven't had these babies yet, you should try them. You would be pleasantly surprised. Cadbury's Crispello reminds me of Kinder Bueno, bar the hazelnut filling. Kinder Bueno still tastes the best, but Crispello are quite nice. I swear I am the only person who doesn't understand the name Crispello. Why Crispello? Now I get to the Popcorn. When I first saw them I was like: Oh, this look interesting. I should try it. Then I tried them and I was like: I am not entirely sure if I like them or not. I mean they tastes awesome cos it's toffee-coated popcorn, extra coated in chocolate. I am still not sure if I like them or not, but they taste good. 

It's Bank Holiday tomorrow! YAY~ Who doesn't love an extra day to whatever you want?! 

Sweet 16 With Awesome Pressies!

Hey! Yes, I am 16 now. Not that it makes a difference because I pretty much look the same and just about everything else is the same. Life doesn't stop or get better as you officially get a year older. The day before my birthday, because my lovely English teacher was making us do an extra 40 minutes of English in the morning of my birthday, I just went full on depressing mode. It was not pretty. But English didn't turn out so bad and I had an amazing birthday. So you don't just get a year older, you also have a hell of a time while changing a number. I am not going to go SUPER SWEET 16! BUT I am going to go -insert GIF-

This is a tiny bit over the top. You get my drift!

Here's some Wikipedia facts on 16:

• 16 (sixteen) is the natural number following 15 and preceding 17. 
• 16 is a composite number and a square number, being the square number of 4.
• It is the smallest number with exactly five divisors, them being 1, 2, 4 and 8. 
• The atomic number of sulfur.
• Group 16 of the periodic table are the chalcogens. 

My day:

School was pretty much the same. Lesson, break, more lessons, lunch then sport. I should have done yoga in Games but not enough people showed up and my teacher was awesome so we just all chilled. I got home and guess what movie I watched? Guess. You probably got it wrong. I watched Silver Linings Playbook!

Yes, that was my reaction at the end of the movie. It was so cute. Actually to be fair, that's my reaction to quality rom-coms (Not The Notebook). I have been told by so many people how good the movie was and I finally got a chance to to watch it and OHMYGOSH! It's such a good movie. I have now turned into one of those people who will recommend this movie to anyone I know. 

I have to talk about my pressies! I am not bragging or anything. I just want to share my love and excitement and that little bit of awesomeness with everyone. :)

Dr Martens 1460 W in Red a.k.a. FAVOURITE PRESENT!

Dr Martens 1460 W Boots in Red, a.k.a. FAVOURITE PRESENT! I have been talking about getting a pair of red Dr Martens boots since Christmas and I am so happy I finally got it. They look so awesome. I need to give 4 years old mini-Ching a highfive! -self-five!-

Ignore the orange socks. I love those orange socks but they clearly doesn't match with the blue, either blues. Shoes seems to be a recurring theme in my present but apart from me loving shoes and getting two pairs for my birthday, I don't have that big a thing for shoes. I must say... I LOVE CREEPERS! They are so much more comfy than I thought. They also look awesome because I have been complimented a few times.  -cheeky grin-

Two very thoughtful presents from my parents. The lovely Paddington Bear bag is for my school next year because I am going to get so many folders and books and my mother is always the most awesome person in the world when it comes to getting things I actually need. Also my mother knows how much I FREAKING LOVE NOTEBOOKS! I have declare my love for pretty notebooks on this blog before, so I won't go into it again. So Thanks Mummy! 

The present from my little sister, and father (sort of). Everything about my little sister is food related. EVERYTHING. I can guarantee it. I am quite sure the cupcake maker is 30% mine and 60% hers. 

L: Little Sister's Card. R: Parent's Card.

My parents give me a numbered age card every year since I was 13. So I have 4 in my yearly increasing collection.

Presents from Beth. The sketch book is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! The paper has amazing quality. But what is with me and flower this year?! I have no idea either. Those are 3 bookmarks on the right there. Plus she gave me a little string devil keyring this. Apparently it's me wrapped up in a little keyring. Cheers Beth! She knows I LOVE FOOD~ Those chocolate are going to last me like... 2 days? Probably less.

I love this card! Because WITH GREAT HAIR ALWAYS COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. 

Conclusion: I love my birthday!

Films! In My 10 Days Holiday

Hey! First thing first, it snowed again. Yes, it snowed 2 days ago and it's still covered with snow everywhere. It's rather boring because 1. It obstruct vehicles and 2. It's a pain when it melts. Second thing first, or is it first thing second? One of it must work. Anyway, -thumbs up- for berries smoothies! Yeah, I had like 2 yesterday? Like giant cups and they are delicious. Then I had chocolate ice-cream cone today, I am not much of a person for diet and eating healthy. 

Nevertheless, let's talk about... MURDERS! -insert rainbow background-. Okay, I am just messing with you. That was lifted from the Persona 4 comic dub. Seriously, let's talk about... MOVIES! When you get a 10 days worth of quality break and you are a huge movie addict and it's the Oscars tonight... Yep, watching a load of movies happens. It's a shame I can't watch the Oscars live, but I still get to know the results tomorrow and hopefully want it when I get home. I like going off topic so let's talk about 2013 Oscars Best Picture nominations for the time being. I can talk about my other movies after this.

There are 9 movies nominated and I have watched about... 3? So that's about a third, it's not that bad. I have seen:

• Les Miserables = 8.8 / 10
• Life of Pi = 8.7 / 10
• Beasts of the Southern Wild = 8.2 / 10

They are 3 excellent movies but I also wanted to see Amour, Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook. French films are a bit of a hit of miss. I still have to see Amelie but my mum says it's amazing. See? I went off topic again! I am great at doing it. I will watch those movies though. Just on a side note, Anne Hathaway deserves that Oscars. My family and I just made predictions for all the categorises and we are totally battling out to see who wins, even though none of us have seen all the movies. Oh well, it's fun anyway.  

Let's have a look at all the movies I have seen recently! (They are not going to be in long details and cutting out the storyline because that would take forever.)

Wreck-It Ralph

Genre: Animation, Comedy, Adventure

Film Rating: PG

Starring (Voice): John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch

Running Time: 108 minutes

This. Is. The. Best. Animation. Movie. EVER! On many many MANY different levels. It's a quality animation movie which you don't really see now-a-days. I just love this movie. Even if you are not into video games, like me, still, WATCH IT! It's heart-warming and awesome. I admit that I even started to tear up near the end even though I know what would happen. I hope it wins the animation Oscar.  

Rating: 9.2 / 10

So Undercover

Genre: Action, Comedy, Romance

Film Rating: 12A

Starring: Miley Cyrus, Jeremy Piven, Joshua Bowman, Lauren McKnight, Eloise Mumford

Running Time: 94 minutes

To say it bluntly, I have no idea why I decided to watch it. Seriously. I don't particularly like or dislike Miley Cyrus. It's cliché and predictable. There wasn't actually any hope of it being a good movie. But still, I watched it. I must say, it's not all that bad and a complete waste of time. Don't take it as good because it wasn't. It was all cliché and predictable and not great. It's basically a college version of Miss Congeniality. If you are looking for a cheesy, have time to waste on a "Rom-Com", go for it. Just don't expect anything. Miley Cyrus was a whole lot better in The Last Song. 

Rating: 5.4 / 10

I mentioned that I watched Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 in my last post so I don't bother talking about them again. I usually watch East Asian (Chinese, Hong Kong, Japanese, Korean) movies with my family. So let's get into those. 

Cold War (寒戰)

Genre: Action, Drama, Mystery

Starring: Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Charlie Yeung, Gordon Lam

Running Time: 102 minutes

This movie has it all. Drama, suspense and great actors. It's one of those movie you should definitely watch even if you are not into the whole police thing. It's a super recommend from my mum and uncle.

Rating: 8.7 / 10

Natural Born Lovers (天生愛情狂)

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama

Starring: Julian Cheung, Annie Liu, Oscar Leung, Anna Kay, Mandy Wong

Running Time: 106 minutes

Yes, it's another rom-com. This one was sort of refreshing. I don't like any of the director's works but this one was half decent. It has a nice idea. Considering the poor Hong Kong rom-com film industry, this one is quite good. I liked it at least. But it was still creepy. You have been warned. 

Rating: 7.4 / 10

Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (西遊·降魔篇)

Genre: Action, Martial Art, Comedy, Fantasy, Adventure

Starring: Huang Bo, Shu Qi, Wen Zhang, Show Luo

Running Time: 110 minutes

Yay! It's a Stephen Chow movie. That is as good as it gets. It's a hugely disappointing movie considering it smashed the Chinese box-office. It should be funny but there is about 2 scenes of 2 minutes which is vaugely amusing. Stephen Chow's last movie was CJ 7 and that was terrible. This is better but still a bad movie. I mean, Stephen Chow is such a comedic legend! I did sort of watch the movie because Show Luo had a tiny part. The must amusing part for me was when the enormous fish ate the little girl.

Rating: 5.2 / 10

I said I have seen quite a few films in 10 days but all in all... -counting- 10. Oh! I have 10! Ha! That's like 1 film per day. Hmmmmmmmmm.... I am totes awesome.

Torturing hell, also known as school starts again tomorrow so I will probably be busy again. -frown- But I will keep posting. I do have a music post saved up for tomorrow. I promise I will have one. When I make a promise, I keep it. Talk to ya soon~

What's Up?! (Warning: FOOOOOOD!)

Hey! 

What have you guys been up to? So I am having my half term week off . -raise the roof- It's been ages since I have blogged. BUT! I did have  tacos yesterday. Yes, they tasted awesome. Along with half a chicken burrito. That was tasty too, but seriously spicy. However, still YAY for a day trip to Durham with my family.

Tacos! Who doesn't love tacos?!

I have pretty much been staying at home and recharging myself. Yep, I have done nothing useful what so ever. Unless you count downloading more music, reading and sleeping. Oh, but I did watch Breaking Dawn Part 2. I have to admit, it was a pretty decent movie considering Part 1 was really quite boring. I still prefer the books though. I have also been finishing the cookies I got from Asda left over from Val's Day which was a while ago. But but but, they were nice chocolate chipped shortbread and bless them they were heart shaped. 

Yeah, these are rectangular but whatever, close enough.

I feel like all I talked about was food in this post, and it's pretty much just food. But it's just a little update to what I do when I get a break, which is eat an insane amount of junk. 

Anyway, have a nice weekend!
