Here is my japanese blog. I know it is bad to keep changing blog, but ameba is really really reallllly good :) Go and have a look!

Pray for Japan

Let's everyone pray for Japan and for those who are living in Japan. Luckily, my japanese friend is safe in Tokyo, but she said all the phone services had been disrupted. Hope there won't be any further earthquake and tsunami in the coming few days. Although I love japanese food; products; technology, I do feel lucky that my hometown is in Hong Kong, China. 

Today was a nice day in Southampton. 

Busy bee

I haven't updated the blog for a while. Mainly because of the excessive amount of workload this month. While feeling x'mas passed not long ago, easter is ahead soon. Time flies so quickly that it's beyond description. 

It was shrove tuesday few days ago :) Anyone made any pancake at home? I always think shrove tuesday is another classic example of valentine's day- It has been commercialised by the market. So people buy more flowers; chocolates; flour. but I guess....'Pancake day' is more like a tradition. Still remember 3 years ago, I was an alevel student at Monkton, making pancakes with clarendon girls at my houseparent's kitchen. Although I don't know there is such thing as pancake day before I came to England five years ago, it has become like something that 'must-do' once every year.

By the way, I can feel summer is coming to town. So excited! Can't wait to the day when I am wearing my graduation robe and hat. It is the day I have been looking forward to. Recently, I have heard some people around saying there is no point attending the ceremony- I strongly disagree with this. Because for me, ceremony is a RITUAL or TRADITION that you will go through to PROVE YOUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE AN UNIVERSITY LEVEL DEGREE. It is a compliment and a honor witnessed by your lovely families and friends. Especially to yourself- three years of hardwork won't go into waste. I bet I will cry that day...ha. I despise those who think they are intelligent and aren't willing to put any effort/ responsibility on their work. So...maybe this is why they think ceremony isn't necessary, because there is nothing on them worth celebrating.

XL size strawberries always go well with pancakes :)

Velentino wedding gown

I still remember the day when i was little, i always looked into those stores for wedding photos shoot. I imagine myself being dressed into a white wedding gown with long train and marrying the one I love. I know this sounds nauseating, but to me, it sounds dreamy. There are so many different types of wedding gown nowadays, but classy ones are still my favourites.

Velentino is a well-known brand name. It's wedding gown designs are BEAUTIFUL. To be honest, I can't imagine how the real Velentino wedding dress for Kate will look like. Because the layers of the dress seem complex yet elegant. I would die to put this dress on! 

Velentino's design on Kate Middleton's wedding gown.

And of course, back to reality, I am only an ordinary middle class girl. Even if I can afford it, will I really be willing to spend 6,000 GBP or more for a wedding gown? Let's say it will be only wore once in your life (some friends may say you can re-use it if you're getting a divorce and married again. Ha), does it really worth the price? Despite the fact that I would die to wear a Velentino's wedding gown, I have held doubts on purchasing one myself. Nevertheless, I've still got time to think about this carefully (maybe I should start saving some money for that day, shouldn't I?). 

There they are- my favourite Velentino design of 2011: 

Lace is always classy, though Chinese girls may not go well with lace.
I really like the deep V at the back with a little bit of long train.

This one is absolutely gorgeous! I like the lace short sleeves

I don't quite know how to explain this.
The design is so simple yet complex (huh?)

Paris

I went to Paris the first time when I was ten.
It is unforgettable because the beautifulness of Paris has shocked me completely.
I have to admit what I just said may have exaggerated a little bit
but the Eiffel Tower; Louvre; Saint-Michel Notre-Dame etc. are absolutely fascinating


Although I don't do art, I am very interested in Art History.
It is just amazing how painters can show so many different things in a piece of painting.
These things can be historical, memorial, political and personal.
The colourful glass windows in St.Louis church represent different stories or scenes from the bible...


Onion soup...Macarons...bakeries...Yummy.


Can't help myself wonder- Why can't England be Paris?

First blog

I have been using xanga as my blog entry for six years. Perhaps it is a good idea to make a change. Although being a third year university student is always uneasy in coping with the excessive workload, I do admit God has been treating me well so far. I used to live in a misery where I am desperate to escape from. And now, I think I have finally found my way out. 

I can tell everyone right now I do enjoy my life ♥ 
You need to love it in order to feel enjoyable
