Update

It's been a while since I've updated here. I've been drowned under the rapid surge of the exam sea - there're so many things to do and not enough time to do everything I want to.

This blog post shall just be a short one of the most miscellaneous things:
1) Along with managing school work, revision, uni apps, there's still the dread of finding a prom dress. I think I found one.
2) Just discovered an immense love for frozen watermelons - probably due to my long-term relationship with popsicles and all those sorts of icy stuff. It's really simple as well, just cut your watermelon up into tiny triangles, stick a fork in and put 'em in the freezer for about a day or less. Try it!
Here's me and sister hand-modelling for these on my Instagram. I miss her loads - she recently left us to study in the UK! Despite weekly Skypes, it doesn't feel the same. I have successfully dominated her room though, and have taken on her identity in old PJs and forgotten things she didn't take over there (not in a creepy way)! Can't wait for us to reunite at the end of the year at Christmas.

3) And talking so much about studying, I found I work best when listening to calm music, sipping hot coffee in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (I think they know my name already… I've been going way too often) and working on essays to hand in. Here are two playlists which I've made that I like to listen to when my brain is working like a machine - also a good way to relax after!


Have a lovely week! :)

Nymphaes

Still sorting out little trinklets in my new room, but it's almost done! All I have to do is put up my poster - which might take a while seeing my posters can never ever stick up...
The porcelain ballerina in the photo is one of my favourites, and has been with me ever since my primary school days. It makes music if you wind it, it's so lovely! I will always remember when I was younger, and the porcelain body broke off, leaving only the legs. And my grandfather helped me to glue it back. 
There's something about musical figures/boxes/etc. that make it so fragile and delicate - simply enthralling! 

Meanwhile, I'd like to share some beautiful and absolutely breathtaking photos of Valentino's Spring Summer Haute Couture 2013:

So I got a new hat

Hey guys! So I've finally given into to my recent hat addiction and got a new cashmere beanie! I'm actually wearing it right now haha -- it's insanely soft and cosy. I can't wait to wear it when I visit the UK this year in December at the end of the year! So as you've been following me in my count downs to the end of exams, just wanted to say that tomorrow is the last day of exams aghghgdhgsfkjh finally! :) If anyone does live in the UK, do drop a comment and recommend me some lovely places to go to! I'd love to discover the UK in a less "tourist" way! I'm going to Stratford upon Avon, Stonehenge, Bath, Salisbury and London, and I'm very excited for December to come!
I've even planned to go to the Harry Potter studios, so I'm looking forward to that since I'm a big fan of Harry Potter. 

I made a few "winter-inspired" (?), more cosy sets that I dream of wearing to London (these aren't that good for fighting the cold though but I thought putting an ugly michelin man down jacket would be a bit of a killer for the look), but have yet to acquire - and probably never will...
