Here I am ta-Da *Jazzhands*

I can't believe it's been like 4 months since I have last posted. That is kind of crazy. But I am back and just as awesome as ever! 

The posts for the rest of the week and next will be catch-up things about what I have been up to for the last 4 months, including my summer holiday, start of schools and things I loved in the summer etc. So stay tuned! 

Just a super short post today to let you guys know I am back to blogging. Life have been busy but I am happy I am back now and sharing moments of my life with your guys ^_^ 

Love... Then Let It Go Theory

Theory: Love... Then Let It Go

Thought by: ME~  

Ever heard of the saying: 

"If you love it, let it go. If it loves you, it will come back to you" 

Well, here is my version: 

"If you love it, then let it go. If it loves you enough (or more), it will come flying, smashing or crashing back to you. In some cases, it might even hit you in the face." 

~ Ka-Ching (My logic)

I guess this is a philosophical theory? 

This is both difficult and easy to explain. Let's take the world for example (this was inspired by my awesome friend) and if you love it, you should let it go. Or in his case, it just abandoned him. Not the point. Anyway, if the world loves you enough, it will come back smashing into your face. No, don't take a punch as it loves you. You get my drift? If you don't, I don't know how else to explain it.

P.S. Please don't take this too seriously. However, it might still smash into your face.

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?!

I Can't Speak French

Bonjour! (That is just about how much French I know.) 

My reaction to NO MORE FRENCH SPEAKING!
(Well, apart from if I want to go to France. But I can speak English there.)

I'm just being a little silly because I am super relived right now. I am so glad all my French speaking control assessments is over. That thing was scary and I swear it's designed torture kids. Yup, I basically walked out of French and was like YAAAAAAY! NO MORE FRENCH SPEAKING!!! A little bit quieter but you get the just. Okay, I am a little TOO relived but it's understandable. I truly suck at French. But I pulled through both the speaking control assessment and now I am free. Sort of. I have Art exam tomorrow. Blargh. I am just going to enjoy tonight with some victory dancing? -randomly waving my arms around and not sure if that's called dancing-

A Little Bit of Awesome Goes a Long Way

Hey! 

Want to know how "bubbly" and "lively" I am? Well, here it is.

Erin and I were sort of late to afternoon registration. We were about 2 minutes late. So we walked in and Beth told us to tell our form supervisor we were here so he would mark us present. Then I went and did something "hilarious" (according to my entire class). I went up to my teacher and spread my arms out and went: Hi Sir! Like seriously a bit too cheerful for a Thursday afternoon. The entire class burst into laughter and I was sent out by my teacher.

The best bit is yet to come. 

So I was standing outside having no idea what he is going to say to me and the entire class laughing. I have to admit, it's not the proudest moment of my life. About a minute later, my form supervisor came out and wait-for-it... he said: Hi Ka-Ching! and gave me the jazz hands. Well, sort of just putting his hands up. His expression was so defeated. Defeated is the only word you can really use in that situation. It was seriously funny, especially after just about every person in the class asked me what happened and I told them and they laughed really hard. It was hilarious because my form supervisor usually appears really strict but is actually secretly awesome. Like ninja awesome with the ninja bit. He has an interesting sense of humour. Apparently the randomness and hilariousness of that made people's day. 

Anyway the important thing is, that's exactly how you become the class clown. I guarantee it will work, because I am pretty sure I am labelled that now. I am still being laughed at. I am not even going to go into my previous incident with the door. That was sheer embarrassment.  

Here's Erin and I's daily dose of randomness! 

Erin: I need one of those coffee shots.
Me: I smell carrots. 

-thumbs up to us for being weird as hell-

My conclusion of the "incident" and lesson of the day: A little bit of awesome/laughter goes a long way.

Talking Nonsense When I Should Be Revising

Hey! 

I am just watching videos on Youtube and reading when really I should be revising. But revising is no fun. 

Anyway, I just want to talk about something really weird that happened today. It's been snowing and hailing on and off all day. Seriously, it's mid-March and snowing. -insert scientific reasoning- But it's insane! Apart from that, I received a letter from my GP's medical centre wishing me a Happy Birthday (my birthday is two weeks away). No, it doesn't stop there. It gets weirder. They also attached two A4 posters on "Improving your self esteem". I mean: really... WHAT?! -weirdly shocked face- I really don't see what turning 16 has to do with your self esteem of anything. Apparently according to my mum, it's cute. I mean, it is quite funny. BUT WEIRD! 

Oh oh OH! I watched Cloud Atlas during the weekend! It's such a good movie! It is also very weird and disturbing at the same time. Nonetheless, the story about Frobisher was so touching and heartbreaking at the same time. It sort of tore my heart out at the end. Ben Whishaw was amazing, such a great actor. Seriously, I recommend watching the film. It's good, but beware it's rated 15 and there are disturbing bits. Cloud Atlas Sextet is a beautiful piece of music. It's stunningly beautiful. I learnt how to play it on the piano and I love it. Now go and Youtube it. Listen to it and you will see how beautiful it is.

[ ] Boys make better friends than girls do. My best friends are girls... So I guess not. But in some areas, boys are easier to talk to. 
[ ] Pink is an ugly colour. Pink generally is not ugly, some shades are worst than others, but I think it's fine. 
[x] Needles aren't so horrible.
[ ] Human flesh tastes like fine aged veal. I will be shocked if anyone have had human flesh and is admitting it. I will never eat human flesh, even the thought of it is disgusting.

[x] Worn something inside out for a whole day.

Anyone interested, totally do it about yourself. It's quite fun.  

Roller coaster of Life

Hey! 

I am just chilling here with delicious apple pie and vanilla ice-cream and my awesome blog. I haven't wrote anything here for 2 weeks, give or take a day or two. I have just been so busy lately and I really wish I have time to blog more often. I found time now so I am going to spend some quality time with my buddy.  

I think life can often be described as a roller coaster. It has it's up and down. Some times in a different order to how you think it will happen. Life is a series of unexpected events. Or moments. It makes you reflect on your life and how you have made the most of it or ruined and wasted it. 

It's 18 days until my birthday. 18 days until I turn 16. I want to reflect on what I have done with my life and what I can do better or differently. Reality basically smashed into my face when I got my exam time table yesterday. I am not the smartest student. Nor do I have the most exam papers in the summer. I will do the best I can but exam seriously takes like 3 years off our lives. It's still 2 months until I have to start my first exam, but pressure is definitely on. School, teachers, peers and parents give you an overwhelming amount of stress and pressure that you don't really realise. It is hard to handle and it can drain and slowly kill you. Don't keep it all in. It's not good for you. Let it all out. All of it. Cry, scream, punch. Do whatever you want to let it out. It will make you feel better and you deserve to feel better. I think it's best in life to stay positive and think about the beauty of the world you are in and your life, but still be sort of realistic about it. I am not a person who let myself feel emotions easily, so I don't get stressed or pressured as easily as other people. But I hope all of you out there who are pressured or upset as exams and revision is coming up to feel better. You need to relax and think about all the things you have achieved and what a great person you are. As a person who recently dealt with a part failure, I understand life is not easy. However, you have to make the most it. Take time out for yourself so you can think back in like 30 years time and still remember life was not all that bad back when you though it's all doom and hell. 

That's enough of my rambling and "You just sound so mysterious whenever you try to sound philosophical" quoted from my dear friend Beth. I have an art exam in like 2 weeks and I have a ridiculous amount of art coursework I still have to do. So I should get going to do that. I am actually quite motivated in art as my art teacher complimented me and called me an "artist" for doing things that she wouldn't have thought of. I think it's nice get motivated sometimes, it cheers me up. To all you artists, you are all very talented. Art is about expressing yourself in the way you want. Like words. Don't let anyone or anything get you down.  

I wish all of you out there, stressed or not, good luck with whatever you are doing! ^_^

P.S. Erin and Beth, this one is for you guys. You know I love you guys to bits so cheer up! Be happy :)
