Home Alone Day 13 + 4 Days til Xmas!

終於揭終了:今天不是世界末日:')
但是倒霉的一天!_! 唉...
原本約了Wendy+Jon (Bert)唱K
倒霉一>> 但那間店竟然關了!!! (wtfbbq?!)
今天是沒可能不做生意的!
又不是聖誕節!
難道店主想逃避末日??
好了!關了便算了!
我們到另一間店!
坐巴士到另一目的地時,
倒霉二>> 突然發覺,我們上錯了巴士!!! (wtffffbbq?!)
算了!在下一個車站立即下車再等車!
到了第二間唱K店
倒霉三>> 它...它竟然已經倒閉! (WTFFFFbbq?!)

(滾地擲雞蛋揮拳打牆壁)

今天的倒霉程度跟上一次Karin+Wendy+我去看電影差不多lol...
唉._.

算了!!!我們去看電影!
Bert說"Life of Pi"好像很有趣
關於一頭老虎跟一個印度男孩在海上求生xD`
老虎我愛!
就看這齣吧...

<3 ice cream

倒霉四>> "Life of Pi"不好看:(
情節進展得太太太太慢`
唯一喜歡的是那頭老虎,
凡是貓科動物我也覺得好可愛<3
牠讓我想起已故的仔仔(摺耳貓) > < 姐姐好想你!

上一次看的電影是"陰魂轉讓",跟babe看的!
那張票給我好好收藏了<3 miss you babe`

errrrr.... 還好,過了倒霉的一天總比末日好:')
加上,今天的活動主要是讓我們仨聚一聚(上一次[唯一一次]的聚會,已經要追溯到year 1那年lol)
Wendy囡快畢業了:'< 相聚的機會愈來愈少`

今天Wen+Jon談了人生話題,
例如要珍惜朋友lol...
提醒了我要把握跟你們見面的機會: )

 

看完電影,他們都要去跟親人吃飯(今天是冬至<3)
我...便買了炸醬麵跟自己"做節"
沒家人在這兒T_T

 超好吃!

 狂吃狂吃狂吃!

這將會是將來離開加拿大後最懷念的食物之一!

 

P/S 我好想唱K :'(

P/S/2 轉眼間已獨居了13天,很享受!還有5天姑媽便回來,我掛念她,但另一方面也不想Home alone的日子太快完結 >_<

Home Alone Day 12 + 5 days til Xmas!

"When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,
We used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by...

[左起:grandma,sister,me,grandpa,brother]

這是<First of May>的歌詞,
爸媽好喜歡這首歌,很多年的五月一日,他們也會播放有這首歌的CD。

但每次我想起這歌的歌詞,也是在聖誕節前夕...

又是一個和爺爺有關的故事。
(關於爺爺,有兩件事令我印象最深刻,第一是關於中秋節燈籠的事,在剛過去的中秋節已經分享過了那小小的甜美回憶;我想趁這聖誕節把第二個故事也記下`)
可能因為爺爺曾遊覽過外國,

他做的事有時會有一點點西化 :P
例如小時候,他偶爾會做西餐給我們仨吃,
還會以飛機餐用的碟盛著。

雖然他煮的西餐很中式,和真正的西餐還差一大截,
但那份心思,足以令我們感到幸福。

除了煮食,爺爺在每年聖誕,也會佈置聖誕樹。
那時候,我們家還沒擁有聖誕樹(假的那種),印象中我們只有迷你聖誕樹擺設,
但爺爺家卻有一棵比我高很多的聖誕樹,
所以,每年聖誕節我也很期待到爺爺家欣賞那給悉心佈置過的樹,

它很高,很大,很壯觀。

至少,那時個子小小的我是這樣認為。

幾年後的某個聖誕前夕,
我站在爺爺的聖誕樹前,
咦?原來這楝樹是這麼小的?
印象中它明明是很高很大的呀!
那刻的感覺,跟<First of May>的另外兩句歌詞一樣:
"Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small,
And you dont ask the time of day".

時間不會停下來,
聖誕樹縮小了,
樹上掛著的彩色燈泡之中,很多個也壞掉了,

爺爺年紀大了,

幾年前開始,也沒再為聖誕節而佈置了。
但我當然永遠不會忘記那棵陪我長大的聖誕樹!

:)

dinnerrrr:

 

P/S 昨天完全沒做飯lol
買了魚香茄子回來吃,
很油膩,但好吃<3
明年的其中一個目標:學做魚香茄子:)

末日

 記得去年的大除夕晚,Carol,Wendy和我在London的一間卡啦OK房內等待2012的來臨,
那時我心想:哇!2012啊!世界末日之年!好刺激啊!

相信普遍的人可分兩類:
一類跟我和Carol一樣(不知她現在的想法有沒有變):
末日要來其實也不錯,那麼我們不用再上學,做功課,考試,憂慮將來的路要怎樣走...

(雖然這是很幼稚,逃避困難的想法,但老實說,有時生活的奔波勞碌,叫我很厭倦...)

 加上,我一向也是這樣想:在這二十一年的人生裡,
我已經遇過美麗的人和事,
享受過愛人與被愛,
我不怕身邊的一切被收回,
是因為我得到的已經不少了,
心滿意足。

另一類人,像Wendy一樣,想:
末日當然不好!我還沒做這個做那個,還有很多很美的風景要看,還有很美的事要經歷!

我同意每個人都應該抱著這個生活態度去過日子,這樣才能夠發現美,欣賞美和表現美。

 

但可能因我從小便讀聖經,覺得神說的世界末日有點令人期待,

因為屆時我們可以到天堂,那裡只有歡笑,沒有眼淚...

誰不想不用再哭?
誰想為同樣的人和事再受傷?
誰不想從此再沒有離別的痛苦?
我跟媽咪(虔誠基督徒)說過我這"看法",她卻只說末日不能給預測的...(其實也不太記得她怎樣答覆我),我們應把焦點放在珍惜神給我們的一切。

對了,珍 惜。

我想,珍惜才是<<末日理論>>的重點。
雖然末日論把某些人嚇瘋了

(媽上兩星期告訴我某少女因為信相沒日快到而自殺了的新聞 :< ),

但對我這些"不怕末日"的人來說,這謠言(如果它不是真的話)也不是完全負面的。

至少它(有效地)教我去珍惜。

當然,我一向也有提醒自己凡事都要珍惜,
那個老師那個家長沒有教導過學生孩子去珍惜人和事?

但末日的謠言卻令我體會要珍惜的 急 切 性 。

想將來,其實可以是一件可怕的事。

正如我在想畢業後的路應要怎麼走,單是想,便感到傍惶。

想美好的事也一樣,
有時我在想,將來一定要很成功很快樂,
但這想法令我感到今天的自己很失敗很愁苦。

這網誌的標題是"Live in the moment",

其實是用來提醒自己,要在當下找成功感,找快樂。
有夢想,對未來有憧憬是好的,
但太期待明天反而會令今天的我走失了。

更何況,明天不一定會來?



 

P/S

這幾個月來被旁人感化,令我由70%相信末日,下跌到今天的0.7%,

但當這傳說中的特別日子愈來愈近時,我也不能完全把這謠言忘掉。
明天便是十二月廿一日,我不禁會問一句"如果"
"如果這真是我們生存的最後一天,怎麼辦?"
昨晚躺在床上,很累但又睡不著,
我聯想到,如果末日是真的,或許以下其中一個情況會發生:
(其實我想知道末日理論是說我們會在廿一日滅亡,還是說我們也會渡過廿一日,在廿二日才滅亡??)

*現在假設前者是對`

1) 每個踏進廿一日12:00am的地區會陸續消失。

 

如果是這樣的話,我的家人愛人朋友便會比我早十三小時消失!(香港比這兒早十三小時嘛)
那麼我那十三小時便會是人生最痛苦的十三小時!我將會獨個兒呆呆地等待這兒的末日來臨...

 

2) 待地球上最後一個踏進廿一日12:00am的地區踏入這個時分時,全個世界才一併消失!

 

無論是1)或2),想起來倒讓我有點驚慌

(此刻在恥笑昔日自己說"我不怕死")

 

今早跟他談電話,轉眼間,便過了香港時間的廿一日12:00am,

假設1)給推翻了,他還安好的在電話的另一端跟我說話,沒有永遠消失!
感恩。
看來上天又給我多點時間去珍惜你了!
現在便要多待大半天,才可推翻(或證實)我的假設2)
如果末日始終沒來,
我一方面會為可以繼續享受這世界而感到興奮;
另一方面,我也要緊記這個末日傳聞教我的 珍惜 和 活在當下。
其實只要抱緊今天所擁有的去過日子,
活著的每分每刻都已經很美,
美得即使末日隨時到來,我也無憾,
至少,這世界,我有好好享受過。

 

把每天當成是末日來相愛　一分一秒都美到淚水掉下來

--- <<死了都要愛>>

 

就每天當沒明天　捉緊愛人過
將生活還給我　做每天必修功課
就算知歲月無多　無憾的生存過
在愛惜中離座　已經不錯

--- <<末日>>

Home Alone Day 10 + 7 days til Xmas!

 IPSY December glambag arrived my mailbox ytd!
ytd was such an exciting day :)
Love everything in this month's bag, minus the bright red lip gloss... (I don't think I could rock red lips >< although red lips are so in these years! I'd pass it to somebody else, but I don't know any friend who might like wearing red lip gloss...)

 

These are my toyssss :)))
However, this should be the last glambag I purchase in a while, because:

1) I've already got a lot of make up products within these 3 months, should use them up first, and I don't even get space to probably store them all... :P

2) Shipping fee is 50% of the price of a glambag alone!
don't like the fact that all the online shops I know only provide free shipping service within U.S., hey, Canada's not so far away from the State! why not ship to us for free as well ><?

 

Let me put on bold make up for fun :P

this loose shadow's a little messy to use, the first time I opened the cap, I got glitters all over my pants :SS
but the gold is super festive ^0^

Christmas's around the corner! exactly one week away! :)

Btw I pulled out this centerpiece from our basement
(this is a prize we got from a party)
Although there's only me in this house,

that can't stop me from decorating!

this is how it looks like :)

Caution: Scary Minnie is behind, staring at everything :S

lol

let me put on that lip gloss as well just to try out -_-

Tadah!

still not feeling red lips lol

>> that's my puppy son`given by LamLam <3<3<3

 

Dinner...

 Ingredients are partying here :3

 salmon fried rice :)
one of the cons of living on your own is that you have to eat certain type of food again & again until you finish it all.

This is the 5th piece (and the last piece!) of the salmon fillet we bought about a month ago lol

and the mushrooms are from the same pack I got for making chicken pasta soup :P

 

P/S (很長的P/S!)

今天跟他談電話,突然在說將來...
我說我將來不會想要孩子
養一隻貓我便滿足了 :3
我想要灰色英國短毛貓或布偶貓<3

Awww~

(琳琳也跟曾說她將來也不要生小孩,但要養狗xD)
然後我們在討論有小朋友在家的好與壞
(想不到這麼早便在談論這話題:P哈哈)
他突然說我很 沒 愛 心 T.T

又說我不喜歡自己的家庭 ._.
沒有啦~
只是不想製造煩惱給自己:(
說這話題時我突然變得好悲觀...

另外,剛剛把大半年前開的Qooza裡所有日記都由[公開]變做[私人]
我發覺那個網誌記得太多傷心事
幾乎沒有一篇文是一般心情至好心情時寫的,
所有文字也令人心碎。
要把這些文收起,

不要再給自己壞心情!!

無意中看到曾經打了這句:
2012年是繼2009年後,最傷心的一年。

其實說得不對!
在那個時候,哪有料到,我在往後這半年會遇到他呢?
他的存在令我變回樂觀的自己。
多謝你,如果沒了你,我想永久地刪去這一點也不令我回味的一年。
所以,過去真的會過去;快樂的日子總會回來:)


Home Alone Day 9 + 8 days til Xmas!

Today's fun thing to do for counting down to Christmas is...

 

studying!! woo-hoo! gotta prepare for the next semester!

 JUST KIDDING!!!

there's no way I could make myself pull out a textbook.

 

Though I think this holiday season is the best time to enjoy some books :D

I planned to place holds for books online, so I could pick them up when they arrive at the library.

But then I found out my library card has expired and I had to visit the library to re-activate it.

(don't you think life's always playing pranks on you in this way?

whenever you don't need Something, you keep seeing that Something laying around with no use; and whenever you need It, It either misteriously disappears or It somehow can't be used, i.e. my card has expired in this case) Come on!! No kidding please .\/.

Anyways, decided to pick up some novels from the library...(I have to do things right away whenever I feel like doing them, if I don't, I lose the motivation/interest very soon :S !)

Now is when I'm mad at myself for not practising driving before my aunt left .\/.

It should take 5 mins to drive there ._.

but now, I spent FOREVER waiting for the bus.

*ended up walking there (took 40 mins -v-), it's a good walk though.

 

I watched Elle's (one of my favourite youtubers ^^) glitterature series on Youtube before heading out to the library, she recommands books in that series. And I planned to borrow novels that she likes, since time is limited plus I read REAL SLOW (one of my weaknesses + one of the obstacles of studying efficiently :S fml). So it isn't a good idea to pick out books randomly.

 

I had a glimpse of the "Recommanded books" shelf, and immediately spotted out 5-6 books that Elle reviewed on!!! Perfect!

Didn't have to search for them (today's a luck day!) :D

then I went looking for some Disney movies, but didn't find any that interested me :/ (maybe I've finally grown up -v-.. no longer that passionate about cartoons... while a few months ago, I used to borrow a pile of Disney DVDs everytime I came to this library lol)

Later I realized that the novels I found are the 2nd books from the series, and I might not wanna read them without reading the previous books :/

(maybe I'm not that lucky today!)

 

Ended up borrowing:

There were so many more books I wanna read! but they're super heavy to carry home, and I won't be able to finish reading them anyways`

 

After that, I got into a drug-store nearby (biggest mistake of the day! lol)...

Warning: Mom & Dad if you are reading this, you might wanna stop right here lol

(Are my parents gone? lol alright...)

 

Came out with a bagful of goodies :S

OK, I didn't go out-of-control. Was totally exaggerating.

I got little stuffs like cotton pads, nail polish remover... because they're on sale -.-

WHY SO MANY ITEMS ON SALE???

Blame on them!!

they shouldn't be on sale whenever I get into the store! lol

 

Everytime I decide whether or not I should buy something (with the majority being beauty products ._.)

I tell myself that I could give them to friends as little gifts/souvenirs, and this makes me feel less guilty (ultimate shopping excuse lol)

 

For example, I just got 2 nail polishes...

(have been wanting that rosy color for quite a long time >3<!)

I thought that I could share them with my sister! ...maybe she won't appreciate them that much due to her tomboyness lol although she claims that she's very girlish now.

(P/S the bottles have my babe's name on them <3)

What I'm MOST excited about...

are these cuties!!

OMGBBQWTH!!!

I finally found EOS lip balms in Canada!!

I've been looking for them everywhere! for more than a year!

and this drug store has them!!!

At first, I saw the standard EOS lip balms, and I was already super excited, but ended up telling myself that I already got two new lip balms the other day, so I shouldn't be getting one (took a while to persuade myself lol)

But right before I was set and about to pay, I saw this ALICE IN WONDERLAND set! It's the limited edition!

ARE YOU CEREAL!?!

I basically gravitate towards ANYTHING related to Disney

(okay, maybe today's really my lucky day lol)

 And and and... the packaging's so adorable, with tiny "Alice"s printed on it *v*

soooo pretty!

 

 So I told myself (as always), if I got it, I could give two lip balms to friends, and one for myself :)

My logic: I buy one thing, more than one people will be happy!

So I bought it. -_-

Oh... actually should I go back another day to buy a few more sets of this for my beloved HK friends as souvenirs?

I think I should... :P

 

Still very excited. Can't believe I just found EOS lip balms. OMGGGGG!!

Got some sushi for dinner :) I miss you salmon... >3<

 

Didn't walk home because those books were too heavy! I'd die if I did walk home lol

 Got on a bus, and the driver said I didn't have to pay lol

(due to some technical problems with a bus, all passangers had to get off and move to another bus... as compensation, we didn't have to pay for that ride ^0^ ho!ho!ho! lucky day!)

 

I guess I'll be having sushi + enjoying the books tonight :)

such a lovely day! thank God! I'm a lucky girl:3

 

P/S:

found an oversized Christmas-y PJ in the closet :)

 

P/S/2: skipped lunch today, was so occupied throughout the afternoon, didn't even feel hungry :)
