Cool?!

Just got off the phone with a doctor. Is that cool or what??! S he suspects the I might have sprained my muscle. He suggests that I should not stay in bed because that might make it worst. So I shall go and buy some drugs at the drug store.
What's for dinner tonight? - 'yap mei fan' this is gonna be yummmmmmy ♥

BYEEEE!!

Hair style suggestions anybody?

I was just thinking since I'm on the roll on posting stuff on my blog today, I wanted to ask you guys what hairstyle I should get. I already have a dip-dyed hair, on the right (first picture) click to view full sized pic.
And I was thinking of maybe shaving some of my hair off (second picture, might consider dying my hair red as well. Not sure yet!) And when it grows out, I'll just change my parting (for the shaving part) What do you guys think? Comment below if you would. Or ask me something Ask.fm/Emmm98 you could search me on twitter as well @emmmmmy98 :)



OMG, guess what?

So I have this godfather from Singapore and in exactly 2 weeks time, it'll be my birthday and HE'LL BE ARRIVING HERE!
I called my mom about 2 days ago and he was with her so I wanted to talk to him (cause I miss him) and turns out, they were just talking bout me. He asked my mom what would I like for my birthday and he offered an iPhone5 or a Samsung SIII. My mom, knowing me so well told him that I'd prefer an SIII so he picked up the phone and asked me the same question. I was shocked! But I still told him I wanted the Samsung so he said okay. I'll get you that.

I HONESTLY THOUGHT THERE WAS A CATCH TO IT OR SOMETHING!! But there wasn't! Aww, my God is so awesome!! If you read my first post, some of you might know that I lost my phone in the snow. It was the 3rd generation or the iPhone. So I've been using a phone borrowed from my dad's company and I was actually supposed to return it on march. But nobody asked for it so I didn't :p

Anyways, I have this prayer book thing and even though I didn't write it in that book, God read my heart and He is gonna bless me with a new phone!! THANK YOU!! He also taught me to be patient because He has his own timing. I don't know why but my wish list this year isn't a long one. I only want 3 things. And one of them, I'm already getting!

The remaining 2, I've just have to pray hard and believe that I'm gonna get it!!

So, what actually happened?

What actually happened was that I was first being surrounded by a group of tall boys trying to make me feel short (mission accomplished guys) seriously, they were like walls and they were closing in and and I almost got squashed to death <- over exaggeration (Just so you know) XD

Anyways, I managed to get out :DD (don't ask me how) but yeah, I did and then when I went back, THEY DIDN'T LET ME JOIN THE CIRCLE. Or more like Sam didn't let me in!' So I popped my head under Sam's arm and then just stayed there for about 5 seconds (more or less) and the pain came.
At first, it was all really shocking but then it got worst. Laughing made the pain last for a really long time and I just knew something wasn't right. So I didn't move at all. All those happened during break. It was double period of drama after break. Molly is in my drama class and being a clown that she is, she kept making me laugh and the pain was just so horrible I was sort of crying and laughing at the same time? If that even makes sense.
I didn't actually wanna skip drama because they were studying/doing/investigation on an interesting subject (Jim Jones - peoples temple) but the pain was really bad so I got a note from Ms.Carr and she sent Molly and I to the medical room (because she had to support me :)) We went to the medical room and then Molly went back to drama. The medical room teacher asked me to describe the pain that I felt. So I said
'It feels like something big and sharp is consistently stabbing me and its just getting deeper and deeper each time'
So she said that I could've pulled something she also added
'Even if you went to the doctors, they would probably just ask you to keep moving it'

And my reaction was 'YOU MAD BRO?!' So she explained that I've got to keep moving it or it'll tighten up or some such. I was no way gonna do that, I'd probably be crying cause it just hurts that much. She gave me a hot water bottle and let me stay at the medical room. (I did manage to get a shut eye ;)) so after 45 minutes in there, I started t think what we're drama people doing. I then suggested to the medical room person saying that I want to go back to drama but I just won't participate much in what they do. She was really nice and asked me if I wanted to bring the hot water bottle with me but I said no.

So there I was with the pain still there (but slightly less) walking back to my drama lesson, alone, with the wind blowing in my face and leafs flying into my eyes -.- I honestly felt really proud because the old me would've just stayed there until I fall into a deep sleep and before I know it, it's the end of school. So yeah #proud :)

The picture below is just a very nice picture of a wall. Since it has something to do with this I decided to post it. Just imagine this wall suddenly appear around you and it starts to come closer and closer till the point where all you can do is stand and not move, yup. That's how I felt XD

Back to school + mock week + second science gcse exams - holiday + revision = stress

Okay, so first of all, I'm sorry I haven't had the time to update my blog. As you can tell by the title, I went back to school on the 15th of April, Monday. You know that feeling after a couple of weeks off from school and when you go back you feel so tired and lazy and you would do anything to sleep in? Yeah, that pretty much summed up my Monday - Thursday.
Obviously, you guys know that today is a Friday and that mean its the LAST DAY of the school week!! YAY!! 'Its Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. Everybody's looking forward to the weeeeeeeekend' :D
Some of you might be wondering why I'm not in school and I have a very legit reason for that. I have a back ache (and yes, I do feel very old whenever I say that) I was actually looking forward for Friday because if I went to school, I'd be doing athletics for pe and I really miss running so yeah. Sadly, because of my back pain (yes, still feeling old saying that) sitting down, standing up, tilting my body sideways, leaning against the wall, laughing, sneezing and even WALKING hurts.. So what are the chances of me running again? Yeah....

I can sleep in, but I chose not to because I'm taking this opportunity to update my blog. I did mention mock week in my title. Some of you might not know what that means but most of you may. But for the sake of some of you, mock week is a week where you are being mocked. <- didn't make much sense, did it? XD oh well, let me try again. Mock week is a week where you take all the trail papers and try your best to do well. Apparently, our results will be sent back to our parents or something :s
I did also mention second science gcse exams. The marks that I get will be contributing to the actual exam and that's why I'm so stressed out!! I did already take my first one and I did pretty well in my class but not so well in my form. I actually though I got a 'U' but when I looked nicely it was type 'U' as in 'U'nit. So I got a B but all the other girls at the end of the table (that were in my form) soured 'OMG! I GOT AN A*' and I'm just like .. Okay. XD
Anyways, I can't change anything bout that so I have to concentrate on my second one and hopefully do better so when the average marks come, I'll be able to get an A instead of a B!!

Here's a picture for you to calm you down if you're facing what I'm facing. Because, well idk. It's picture makes me really calm. The flowers are like never ending and, it's just beautiful. Click on it to view the full picture. Thanks for reading my blog.

Stay tuned to know what actually happened to my back xxx

Busy, busy day

Jane picked me and my sister up at about 11 today. She drove us to tesco and we started shopping! Wasn't as expensive as I thought it would've been but it was more than £20. So we headed to Janes house and started preparing. (The reason why we did it at Janes house was because she had all the appropriate apparatus while I didn't :p )
We started with the base of the white chocolate cheese cakes s we let it chill for about 30minutes. While the base was setting, I made the pastry for the lemon meringue pie. Then I did the lemon curd for the lemon meringue pie and lastly, I whisked the egg whites and the caster sugar together to form the meringue. I took the pastry out and rolled it out to a china. Because Jane and I didn't have any baking beans, I used the rocks from her garden and wrapped it with tinfoil before putting them onto the blind pastry. I cooked it in the oven for about 20minutes and for the last 5 minutes took the rocks out so that the bottom part would cook :) I then put the lemon curd and the meringue on then left it to bake till the top is brown and beautiful.
First picture finished product :) sorry for the cracks :p (click pic to view full size image)
We then took the white chocolate cheese cake base out and mixed the white chocolate and cheese together and left it to set for 30minutes.
Second picture finished product :) there's a little raspberry on there ;) (click pic to view full size image)
We had a half an hour break for lunch and then I started doing the cheese soufflé. First I had to do the mix and then grate all the different type of cheese (it was so tiring and took me the longest time) then I misted in 6 egg yolks and the mixture and whisked it together. Then I had to butter the ramekins and put them in. We had a lot of extras (hahah) so we put it in a ovenproof dish and cooked the rest. While it was cooking in the oven, I opened the door and got a smack at the butt because I wasn't supposed to do it. (Taught by Jane, if you do, the hot air will go out and be replaced by the cool air and the soufflé will sink in :( ) so yeah, NOTE THAT.
Third and forth picture. Sorry for the shrink :p didn't take it fast enough. The third picture is the one in the ramekin and the forth one is the one in the ovenproof dish. (Click pic to view full size image)
Finally, the macaroni and cheese. I had to boil the macaroni for about 1/2 and hour. And while doing that, I stirred the butter and flour to form a roux. Not long after that, I had to whisk in the milk until the sauce was thickened. Then I added the cheese mixture into it. Macaroni was added into the sauce and then put into another ovenproof dish. The remaining cheese was put for the topping and then tadaaaa.
Fifth picture. Can't actually apologise for anything this time cause this picture looks really nice :p (click pic to view full size)
Andrew came back and the first dish we had was the soufflé. Then we had the macaroni and cheese and for dessert, we had the lemon meringue pie. You're probably wondering why wasn't it the white chocolate cheese cake. And that is because that is meant to be a surprise for my father hen he comes back tomorrow.

Credits to my sister (Sabrina) for doing all the washing up :))
Credits to Jane for allowing me to do this here and helping me when I was stuck and also encouraging me when I was really tired.
And
Credits to Andrew for eating the food :p and washing up after that :)

Esther, Rebekah and Susanna

Adorable little people ♥ I love them so much. Their parents, Mary and Tim are also very lovely people. We (my sister and I) are over at their's at the moment. They have been such lovely hosts. They have a garden that is 2 acres and half of it is the woods. Had a lovely time climbing trees and running around, shooting hoops and not forgetting the cartwheels we did.
They are now having a nap time before the night service for church. I had such a great day today thanks to these girls and their parents.
If you are reading this, thank you so much for having us over and I hope that we weren't a burden. God bless xx

Cowgirls

So today, we had a surprise belated birthday party for Louise today (a friend of mine from church.) I went to church at 3.45 p.m and started preparing the food with my sister and Jane. We prepared a lot :p like I said, it was surprise so Louise didn't know anything about it. After preparing the food, me and my sister went out to the foyer and played some table tennis :) I was so good at it. Just saying.
So when it was close to 7ish, more and more people started arriving. We now had to prepare the drinks. It was really fun although we made a mess. In my church, there's this sports centre thing and we used that place as the venue of where the party was held. There was like a photo booth and a stage and like everything!!
The theme for this party is cowboy/cowgirl. And I only found out that we had to dress up a day before. Because I slept late last night, I woke up at about 10ish (kinda early. Was planning to wake up at about 12ish.. Anyways,) I searched my mom's wardrobe for some cowgirl clothes. But before that, I googled it and some really disturbing pictures appeared.
So I decided to wear a white top, black jeans, a belt (first picture) and knee high boots (unlucky you weren't there :p)
There was also a live band!! So at about half8, Louise finally arrived. She initially thought that it was a family thing but then when she entered the sports hall thing, she was so surprised. Everyone just clapped and I think she almost cried :') she then went and change to her cowgirls outfit. (She's wasn't expecting that.)
We started dancing and dancing and ate and listened to the music. Then desert came and wow it was some sinful stuff. Then we danced again and people started leaving. We had our final dance and then we packed up because we have church the next morning. I had a great time at the party. I was so glad I was invited and I wished that my mom and dad was there.
Jane and Andrew took me and my sister home and here I am. At the present time, typing out how awesome my day was today :) good night everyone.

THURSday (4/4/13) & FRIday (5/4/13)

Thursday- today, me and my sister went for an afternoon jog because we woke up too late for a morning jog xp after that jog, we head to town for lunch. Had Chinese again. Then OBVIOUSLY, we went shopping :D we reached home at about 3. Practiced some songs and got picked up by Andrew. Had tea with him and Jane then headed to church for life group. Not many people turned up but the show must go on ;) so we did praise and worship and then handed it over to Andrew :) we headed home at about 10ish. But I slept somewhere close to 3

Friday - I met up with tommy today :) we ate lunch together at AskItalian. The food there was great. I really wanted to watch 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' so we did. It wasn't playing at the vue so we watched it at river side. The movie time was at 2.15 but we got there at about half 3 but the advertisements were still playing. On the way to river side, we stopped at a couple of places to buy popcorn and drinks :) I won't tell you how the story went but tbh, I found it very disappointing. They have a good story line and people who acted in it but.. I didn't feel it man. Sozz. My mom told me to prepare myself because I was bound to cry but I didn't. The atmosphere was there and all but they didn't hold it long enough so they failed on that. So yeah
I got picked up by Sam J (from church) at 6.40 for youth. I had a great time playing ping pong and stuff :) and then danced and etc.

So yeah my Thursday and Friday was a blast but.. Did it sound interesting? XD

WEDNESday - Sand-Ring-Ham (3/4/13)

'I've been to London to visit the queen!'
This time, it was Sandringham. I went to the queens castle. It felt so homey ♥ oh yes, I am such a VIP Sam was supposed to come but he couldn't make it so my sisters friend, Nature (I know that's an awesome name) was free and tagged along :)
We took lots of pictures and stuff. But the food there was kinda expensive. But oh wells.. It was a very cold day but yet sunny.

TUESday C: (2/4/13)

It was Molly's birthday on Sunday (yes, the day my granddad passed away) so she celebrated it on this day :)
Archie, Noah, James, Ishan, Sam, and I were invited :)
So Sam's mom was supposed to give me a lift but she decided that it would've been faster for SA to cycle. So we met at Maid Head Hotel. I waiting under the sun but in the cold for about 15minutes (felt like the longest 15minutes of my life XD) but anyways, I'm not angry or whatever, there's no point really. So we head to town cause Sam had to buy Molly's birthday present. We went to castle mall and he bought Molly a 'I'm a twat' mug and a 'crawl on leg sex' thingie. Whatever its called. But it was all a joke :) at the counter, he saw the 'beanboozel' challenge. And he bought it!! (More explanation later)
So anyways, we were on the was to quasar (laser tag place) and we found out we were 30minutes early!! So we walked out and saw Archie walking towards quasar. We then decided to go to C.E.X shop. A shop that sells second hand electronic stuff. We didn't get anything. We than headed back to quasar and not too long after that, Noah joined us. Then ishan then James and finally the birthday gurl, MOLLY!! 
So we played 2 games of laser tag (I last badly in both of em' so m not gonna talk much about it :p ) after that we went to Pizza Hut but it was FULL :( so we decided on Chinese food not too far from Pizza Hut. Sam didn't have cash and they only took cash £ so I, being such an awesome friend, paid for him first :)
We headed to Chapelfield park and played the 'beanboozel' challenge. I never heard of it before but it's a cool game. So there are a few colours and a pair of them. So lets say it white. It's either baby wipes or coconut. To be very honest, I'm glad I got baby wipes for all the times I got a white one because I hate the taste of coconut. It's rank plus, baby wipes aren't that bad :p so red is either centipede or strawberry jam. Orange is either vomit or peach. Chocolate is either dog food or chocolate fudge and etc. Well, you get the idea. So we played it and yeah it was great fun!!
Feel free to watch it on YouTube :) (or get the idea from the first picture below. Click the pic to view the full size of it)
Part 1 of the challenge : http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WbbFdx94f5E
Part 2 of the challenge : http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=g-high-u&v=kvFfsbDgi0s
So then we went and play at the playground (oh how childish did that sound huh?) so there was this net thing that you were supposed to walk/run/slowly walk/crawl on to reach the pointless slide at the end. Smart me tried to follow the footsteps of 'cool' Sam aka running up there. So I did and I slipped through the hole and tried to sae myself but the impact hurt my wrist and that was what happened to my wrist.. YEAH... (Pic 2 below. Sorry for the bad quality of the picture. Click the pic to view the full size of it)
I honestly thought it was broken or fractured or something but nope. THANK GOODNESS NOT! But anyways, I had to head home not too long after that incident so I did and yeah. That was the end of my eventful day :) :)



MONday (1/4/13)

Today, my hair caught on fire!!! APRIL FOOOOOOOOL!! :D I know I'm like 4 days late but here's what I did on that day :)

Jane came and pick me and my sister up from my house, we went to Margaret's house and guess what we had? A TEA PARTY!! How English is that eyh? Margaret is such a good baker. She had a bird. A canary to be exact. We sang with it (thanks to me it started singing ;) ) then we all sang songs. Suddenly this dude asked me and my sister to sing a mandarin song.. So we did. I didn't make any eye contact and just concentrated on the wall in front of me. But everyone claimed it was beautiful and they said that we should go professional. That dude added 'you and your sisters voice goes well together' that made me very happy. Oh yes :p then they asked us to sing another mandarin song. Without habitation, we did and even though they didn't understand what we sang, they felt it because we sang it with lots of emotion C:
After that, WE WENT TO THE SAILING CLUB!! We managed to get there on time to see Andrew sail in. It was a cold day. But yeah, it was really cool :D we then headed to Jane's house for tea and she sent me and my sister home :)

I find the picture below really interesting and it calms me down. The amount of colour in that shot is also very impressive. Have a good night everyone xx ♥
