lost and found
some time ago, i realised that a long-sleeved white shirt of mine was missing. i couldn't find it anywhere. then today i found it. guess where.
i was taking off my duvet cover to wash it, and there my shirt was, hidden in there all the while. haha.
sigh
ok, i over-reacted just now. but i think i have closure now. i hope i can finally move on. thanks for everyone's concern yet again. i'm sorry for the trouble.
it helps to watch 'how i met your mother' when you're down.
what spring?
it snowed for half and hour this morning. this place got no spring lah. it's just winter with longer days.
and it's snowing again now...
so retarded
omg some evil evil school told their student who was pursuing her modelling career that they were disappointed in her and wouldn't give her a second chance if she failed her exams. WTH!!! how can they do that!! where got such thing one!! it's none of their business even! what's their problem?!! evil money-grabbing bloody stupid terrible school!!!
good friday
went to rumours for lunch. it's a malaysian kopitiam just 15 minutes away and there's a 10% discount for students. how cool is that. it's the second time i've been there. if only they had fresh watermelon juice. but their herbal teas are nice, even if they're made from powder. we sat there for almost 3 hours. amir offered to buy everyone dessert so me and naz shared this 'mango passion fruit low' which we expected to come in a bowl of shaved ice but came in a glass like a drink. and it's supposed to be spring already but it's so freaking cold. it's deceptively sunny but it still feels still so cold. it actually snowed for a while when we were sitting in there.
oh, and today, kah wei like totally messed with my heart. he put 3 boxes of different chocolate eggs in the (wrong) postbox, each with a note on it. only one note had a name - mine. so we thought kah wei gave me three boxes of chocolate and i was so touched i called him to thank him. then later when we were talking about it in rumours, kah wei said "oh no, i'm so embarassed. actually it's for the 3 of you." which like totally broke my heart because there i was thinking kah wei was so sweet to give me THREE boxes of chocolate. then i cried on naz's shoulder. like what the hell right, this kah wei. how could he do this to me!!! boohoo!!! kah wei is so terrible. let's all do the don't friend you hand gesture at him. :PPPPP
after rumours, three of us (van's in manchester) watched high school musical 2 which was on tv. omg it's so freaking lame!!! the guys look so gay when singing and dancing. i had no idea vanessa hudgens' voice was so high pitched. zac effron kept looking like he was going to cry. and the storyline is basically just lame lah. wth.
crazy food poisoning/stomach flu/dunno what
omg i'm dyinggg. on saturday i vomitted and had a fever. on sunday i had no appetite and at around 8.30pm i started having diarrhea like every half hour until i went to sleep at 12. and it was so watery it was like peeing through my butt. or more like vomitting through my butt. then it got so watery there were barely any solids coz i hadn't eaten since the afternoon. and it still kept going. i took loperamide and charcoal and eelynn's thai medicine but it's still going. omg. and i can't eat coz i'm nauseous and have no appetite. i only ate a few digestive biscuits since yesterday afternoon. so i just keep shitting mostly water. and i'm gonna die coz i can't eat. omg. crazyyyyyyyyy
oh, the love!

enough is enough
you know something is not good for you. you want to get rid of it. you really really do. but some bloody stupid little part of you still wants it. what do you do? how do you let go?
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?
horoscope
taken from my sister's blog, with bad grammar. don't know where she got it from.
CANCER MAN The most
sensitive man and the weakest emotional type in all Zodiac. Most Artists are Cancer. Cancer is controlled by the "Moon" and the moon change it's shape daily, so Cancer man's emotion and moods change all the time too. You will confuse with him and yet it is his constantly changes that "Charm" you. He never go to get what he wants directly, but he will wait for a chance and opportunity to do so.
Once he gets what he wants, he will not lose it, except if he get tired of it by himself.The most sensitive man who cannot stand rejection. He cares what other people feel or think of him. He hates loosing face and he tends to
overprotect himself, so sometimes people might think he is a cold person.
Gifted, creative, imaginative, is Cancer. A
mystery and complexity play a major role in a life of a Cancer man. He could be very funny, very quiet, suddenly very sad. Living with him could be very unexpected, for you will not know what is his next mood. If you like excitement and surprise, you have the right guy and never have a chance to get bored.
He thinks of his home as "nest" and it is the safest place for him. If he feels hurt or depress he will stay at home alone quietly. Once he feels better, he will come out of his retreat and lives normally again. Being a loser is not him.
It is
so easy to fall in love with this guy because he is gentle and a very polite guy. His wit and creative mind could win your affection. He will come out from his nest to protect you even if he is
not opening himself up to other people much. Not many people will win his heart.
His security is only when he has money in his pocket. Once he feels secure then he might think of having a happy family. Even he likes to make and keep money, he is not stingy. Spending money is part of his good image, so he will be happy to spent money to take you out to a very expensive restaurant or buy a jewelry for you. Certainly when he has money OK.
He is possessive to everything's that he thinks belong to him. Don't try to talk to another cute guy in front of him, he will get suspicion because he is not very secure or confident in himself for this kind of competition. Once you know each other too much, he will start to look for new excitement, but not to worry for he will always think of you. If he thinks you are the true love for him, and you try once to disappear. You will be sure he will come and look for you.
He is a shy guy, but if he likes you. You can get up in the morning and see that he is in front of your house everyday till you go out with him, a very persistent guy.
He likes a secure, cheerful and lively woman, confident but at the same time always act proper and appropriate. He likes a secure woman, but able to adjust to his rapid changes. A very difficult type to find woman indeed.
In the beginning, you and him will be so sugary sweet together and he will only think of you.
This so "super romantic" will not last forever, so don't slip this chance. If you are the one who want his interest, then act and make yourself interesting. Be a supportive person and give him compliment sometimes, but not too much till he thinks you are not sincere.
Unlike many other Zodiac, if he is mad then you better get out of that room. He will calm down by himself. Giving him a slight touch on his shoulders or concerned facial expression are enough. He loves his mother, so try to be his mother favorite, but do not act like his mother!
what the *^#%&@$!!!
i was sleeping soundly when the bloody fire alarm went off again. i checked my clock and it was 4.54am!!! %*&*$`#^@%#$%&*@!!! people should stop cooking in the middle of the night, especially if they can't do it without letting the whole neighbourhood know.
rude awakening
i was dreaming something about someone removing all the light bulbs. then i was suddenly awakened by a loud alarm ringing. i opened my eyes and saw it was so dark and thought "oh crap, what to do? don't have any lights." then i realised i must have been dreaming and decided to try and switch on my light. and it worked. and the stupid fire alarm was giving me a headache - so loud and shrill. we all grumpily put on our jackets and headed out into the cold.
we could smell smoke from the kitchen window above our unit. mumble grumble complain complain. the firemen took their time coming. this ron then happily came out with his bike, untroubled by all this coz he was just heading off to work. this was all before 6am. grrr who cooks so early la. was supposed to wake up a bit earlier to do my essay but i slept for an extra hour coz of the stupid fire alarm. too sensitive la, little bit already ring. kacau only. grr.
icehotel!
off we go to the ice hotel!
a short break for photography. the snow was up to my knees!
gasp! where are my legs?
sparkly snow
huskies in ice outside the ice hotel
the outside of the icebar
the entrance to the reception, ice rooms and icebar
an ice toilet everyone took photos with
we played with some sleds while waiting for the english tour to start
lounging on a cool chair at the reception
the ice is so smooth and cool to touch. it doesn't melt at all.
the tourguide told us how the ice hotel started and how it's built from ice they collect in like march (can't really remember which month) when the river has a thick layer of ice. then they store the ice in large freezer buildings and they start building the hotel in november. then they let it melt in dunno-which-month and they rebuild it each year. here she is showing us a block of ice. the top part which is white is at the surface of the river and is the softest part. there are bubbles beneath it. the bottom part is clear - that's how you tell which side is up.
then she brought us to the ice church. couples from all over the world get married there. the bride can wear a normal wedding dress and freeze for like 20 minutes during the ceremony. it's much cheaper for swedish people to get married there than foreigners.
so pretty. the ice pews are covered with reindeer skin. artists drill holes in the ice, fill them with snow, let them freeze, then add another block of ice on top, etc to make those designs in the pillars.
the handprint there is where the priest stands. i don't know what the handprint is for though. a snowflake is sculpted on the ceiling.
a corridor of ice sculptures. the ice is so clear coz it freezes at the right speed. i'm not sure if she meant speed of freezing or speed of water flowing..
corridor leading to the rooms. the tour ended and we were allowed to explore the rooms. there are art suites which are designed by artists from around the world, and design suites which are done by the icehotel art & design group. this group also selects the artists from many applicants each year to do the art suites. when choosing designs they are only told whether the artist has worked at the ice hotel before, the names and races of the artists are not told. then half of the selected artists will be old and half will be new. and some of the artists have never worked with ice or snow before.
we visited all the design suites but didn't have time to see all the art suites. here are some design suites:
arabic
japan. cool japanese table.
recycle. rabbit!
sticks
sapmi
chess. so cool right!
some art suites we saw:
the banished dragon. even cooler! the dragon goes around the whole room and ends with its tail next to the head, although you can't see it here. done by irish artists.
northern light. not much. done by germans.
leaf by niggle. it's the title of a short story written by tolkien. i thought this room was cool too. there are leaves and bamboo all around. done by chinese.
city movers. strange. by a swede.
the forest suite. this was pretty. done by an american.
dream's room. by bulgarian artists.
the source. you can't see it, but it's supposed to be like a chariot pulled by horses coming out of the sea. by a swede.
a random sculpture of a car
we separated into 2 groups so here are nice photos the other group took of rooms which we didn't get to see. =(
coming out
crystallization
hoffman the square
yin/yang
operation blade. at first i thought it was a whale's ribcage or something.
we had to leave by 2pm so we quickly went to the icebar
"drink absolut ice tundra and you'll be as strong as a bear"
absolut icebar jukkasjarvi, absolut ice tundra, and absolut wolf paw. i shared the ice tundra with naz and leah, and it was the nicest of the three. :P
menu for you to see
chilling at the icebar
our pretty pretty drinks. kah wei came later with the other group. i asked him to get a green drink and the bartender made one specially for him!
whee! the ice hotel was so freaking cool! it was the highlight of my trip. whoopdeedoo! for more info, click
here. :D
