It's been quite a few days since I last blogged, mainly because I was busy with work and my after school stuff. And chilling a little bit, after the exams.

So on friday I was out pretty much the whole day and tbh, it wasn't bad. The frees I had on friday was probably by far the most ridiculous so far. Never did I ever expect that that's how I spent my frees. So here we go. Joycelyn, Kitty, Vivien and I decided to go to MOS the usual and when we got there we ate some noodles at 7 eleven, still normal. Then here comes the very interesting bit. After that we decided to split for awhile because Kitty and Vivien needed to go shopping for food and drinks at Wellcome while Joycelyn and I wanted to go shopping at Maple. I needed to buy my lost ring back. I mean woaahh, the last thing you'd ever expect to do in a boring mall like MOS is shopping, for food and stuff.

So we split and Joycelyn and I spent a good 15, 20 minutes just looking at rings and ended up spending $105 on 2 rings each. Of course I bought my lost ring back plus another ring which were yellow specs. I blame Vivien for passing me her 12.5% discount card at Maple, big temptation.

So after that we went to Wellcome, walking down aisle by aisle looking for Kitty and Vivien before finally deciding to call them since we couldn't find them. And then of course we ended up getting them to buy more stuff like packet drinks and another tube of gummy candies but gee, it was pretty funny. I mean, 4 17 year olds pushing a trolley around Wellcome during the granny shopping hour, grabbing food, chips, drinks, antiseptic tissues?

Then they checked out and paid for their stuff and by then, it was time for us to get back to school. So we got through the last 2 classes and usually after that I could leave but that friday afternoon, we had the ART HK 11 exhibition we had to attend, all the way in Wan Chai which is like friggin' far away from school and home. I have to say, the trip there was sorta worth it though because that exhibition was huge and I don't think I even finished seeing all of the artworks but woah, 3 hours of walking around with the crowds, in flat sandals is more than enough for me.

I really liked mostly the artists from Sydney, oddly enough and I even bought the catalogue for $150 which really wasn't that pricey. The funny thing was, there was this artwork in this exhibit with shirts lying on the floor saying "Where is Ai Wei Wei" and apparently we could take it for free. So Michelle and I each took one and hey, that's going to be my new PJs. I like the humour in the shirt. But yeah, there was so much to see and it was actually really exciting and fun though I mean people, there are some people who are trying to take photos and it would be very much appreciated if you peeps could just step back and not stand right in front of the artwork. So I spent 3 hours there, taking loads of shots with Michelle before leaving at around 5.

Then hell started. We were lost in the building for 15 minutes trying to find the exits to the MTR station and Ferry terminal and finally, after going up and down the escalator, we finally found it. By then my feet were already literally, hurting and aching from all the walking I did all day and gosh, it was a looonnng, tiring, blazing hot, walk back to the MTR station. It didn't end there because when I was trying to board the train to Admiralty, it was friggin packed. Like literally, my personal space bubble was invaded pretty bad but it was just 2 stations so it was still bearable. Then when the train got to Admiralty station, I knew there was going to be a war to get to the other side of the station.

I was right. It was a war. I mean, woahhh a hoard of people were running (walking, but Hong Kong speed for me, running.) to the other side and it was packed. I had to stand throughout the whole train ride (trying standing with two weights on your shoulders, one side, all the catalogues and art books and then the camera and my usual school bag on the other) and I could only get a seat at I think, Mong Kok Station. Wheew my feet were dying so I was glad I could finally sit down.

When I got home, I had another surprise. I received a mail, from UCA. They actually mailed me the 2012 Prospectus for real so I was like, woooahhhhh and got all excited that I ended up flipping through it all night. Sounds stupid but considering that that school will be one of my choices for university, I was pretty stoked.

So that was about it really for friday. And then on Saturday I spend one third of my day on a chair in the hair salon getting my hair done. My bottoms were numb and I needed to go to the washroom badly by the end of it but it was definitely worth it because my hair looks amazzinggg. I mean, Pinky, my new personal hair stylist, wow, she's amazing. I got it curled and loving it. No more plain, normal small potato with the boring flat, normal hair cos now, it's looking fieerrcceee. Pinky didn't even cut off as much as my mom wanted her too either which made me very happy although i suppose she could've cut off more I wouldn't mind but, I'm still loving my new hairdo.

Anyway I got to run now, lunch with grams and relatives so TTFN.
