The dreaded 'update' post

Brace yourselves, I gonna be doing one of those annoying-im-so-busy-but-heres-a-quick-update blogposts.

I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY. Serious one. Juggling work life and social life is really not that easy I've learnt. I've only just realised because previously I never really had a social life. Hehe. I'm going to be squeezing 2 weeks worth of updates into one blogpost. (Something that hasn't been attempted before;psht

10th Dec;
 I went shopping and bought nothing.

11th Dec;
Students christmas ball! Such an awesome time with my fellow chums and mulled wine. Can't forget the mulled wine. It was my first of this year! Yumz. 






12th Dec;
Ice skating at the Natural History museum. Best £15 spent and best 50 minutes spent and best falls I've ever experienced. 









A very failed heyletstakeaphotowhileiceskating photo.



13th Dec;
A DINNER DATE WITH MY FAVOURITE KOREAN! Ji, I do love this girl. I've stolen her photos, and she's an instagram-addict. So I apologise for the instagram explosion! 

We went to Kimchee for a lovely meal of jajangmyeon accompanied by honey citrus tea. I grew up drinking honey citrus tea, drinking it was nostalgic as hell. That doesn't make sense, hell wouldn't be nostalgic. Right?

















14th Dec;
Of hot chocolate and walking around Covent Garden with Jen whytock.

15th Dec;
BIG BANG'S ALIVE TOUR LONDON STOP. Keep your eyes peeled on this space! I have amazing videos!!

18th Dec;
Bro's bday (bidet) party. AMAZING FOOD; pigs in blankets, ROAST PORK complete with crackling, caramelised vegetables, brussel sprouts, tiramisu, cupcakes, strudel. 





Birthday boy. His nickname is Yoshi. 

19th and 20th Dec;
Exciting days. My really really really amazingly good friend, Hanyue, was in London! My first friend I made in secondary school (Greenview sec school ftw!). I missed her so much, ohmygosh. So many damned memories with her!!! She used to call me queen and I used to call her servant. I'm not a mean friend, its only because once in class, the teacher asked me to go to the front to hand in my work, but I made him come to me instead. (Yeah, I was half angmoh, I got away with loads of things). So the teacher made everyone in class say 'yes your majesty' to me. 

So on the 19th, I went to their hotel, and went to a pub for dinner. Her mum wanted traditional English food, and a pub was all I could think of. 

The view from their hotel. Siao one, so nice. 



Her mum and me! Her mum is really so awesome. She was asking me for my preferences in a guy, and then thinking of any guys she could set me up with. 

I love her! 








On the 20th, her mum treated me (again) to high tea at The Royal Garden. I was so in my zone! I freaking love having high tea. 20th was also the day I decided I want to be a housewife when I grow old..










THE SCONES WAS DELISH. My gosh


The best scones I've ever had, they're wrapped in a blanet on the bottom tier




Zhiliangui.







Best two weeks ever.

The 19th Birthday

Now. I NEVER do anything for my birthday. This year was different, it was awesome. My cousins had all come up to London for the day, we lunched, sightsaw (sightseed?! what the hell is the past tense of sightsee?) and we stopped outside my favourite cake store. And I was all like, why are we here? And ma bro coolly replied: Oh Emma (ma couz) wants a cake. And I accepted that reason until my cousins and brudda broke out into the birthday song carrying a cake with a candle. 


Shocked. boom. died. 
I am stupid. I am oblivious. I am stupid.

Me and my couzzies looking at a wall in a museum


I love my brudda.

After I left my cousins, I went to a pizza party(how awesome does that sound right). Arrived an hour late, but I was told at the door that I was the first here. So, okay, fine, bought that. Walked into the living room and SURPRISEEEEEEEE. Everyone was there! :') With my favourite caterpillar cake and everything. I LOVE MY FRIENDS. 

Shocked. boom. died. 
I am stupid. I am oblivious. I am stupid.

There were so many damn clues on the way to the party that could've given it away. One being the fact that someone had posted on the event facebook page (bless facebook) that they had arrived and no one was answering the door. I swear, If someone was planning my murder right infront of me, I wouldn't click. 



Me, Vicky and Jecolz


 
They left the tiniest space for me to fit in, so, I LOOK HUGE PLEASE.

A week after my birthday, I arranged to meet my fellow foodies; Ninamma and Ashfa! Walked into the restaurant and SURPRISEEEE, a few of my closest closest high school friends were gathered under one roof. Initial reaction was: Oh cool! coincidently bumping into them. But it was all PLANNED. 

Shocked. boom. died. 
I am stupid. I am oblivious. I am stupid.

Okay, this one I wasn't really stupid lah. Cos it was ONE WEEK after my birthday. And they really didn't let anything slip. They would make good murderers.  


Obligatory asian pose.


Ma fwends :3

Writing this blog post, I conclude that I AM SO WHITE. And I REALLY DO LOVE MY FRIENDS. Best birthday yet. :)
