Sun finally hits England... and I finally get hit by money!

Hey everybody!!

Long time no writing! Hehehehe. I hope you've all been well and haven't left this blog. I know I've neglected it a bit from my 'personal touch' (*^x^*) *giggles*. 

It's been rather manic on this end. I had several interviews with the big bosses as soon as I got back from my 'holiday' and now I'm frantically writing and editing for my deadlines. *^^* But it's ALL GOOD.

Good news is though I had a absolutely wonderful Birthday month and the sun has been shining like crazy this past week! We were all so worried that the UK won't have a summer this year since it's been raining non stop until this last week. But the sun finally has hit us and warming us all up *^^*

Oh and I've finally been told I've been awarded a Scholarship for my PhD! I'm exempt from fees AND I get some pocket money each year (*^.~*) 
(no I'm not telling how much that is *giggles*). It's for THREE YEARS! (*^.^*)

I was told that I was up against some tough competition in those interviews for the scholarship, including some Law students I saw outside in the waiting room... I saw some seriously tall, macho looking confident guys in suits.

I'm also now Faculty Student Representative of the Faculty of Business and Law for PGR students (Post-Graduate Research). So that means turning up to committee meetings etc. I'm guessing it'll be mostly social events organising since us PGR lot don't complain much (*^.~*) hehehe. Parties, oh yes!

I have a major deadline in August and then a super major important exam in September. But that's not to mean I'm not partying (*^.^*) Well... my idea of fun and partying usually is to do with food... 

I adore this patisserie shop called Patisserie Valerie in the city centre. So many cakes and delicacies!!! MMMMmmmmmmmmm~   (o*^^*o)

The one on the left is a Citron Tart, all lemony and zesty fresh, and the one on the right is a Raspberry Tart which is a pile of juicy raspberries piled on top of an egg custard filled tartlet. Gorgeous stuff!

So today is the Olympics opening ceremony... later on tonight. But I can't say I'm all that excited. I probably will end up watching something else or doing something better with my time haha. Harsh I know. But I will watch some of the events when they start.

I hope to hear from some of you soon, since it'll really make my day and distract me from writing stress (*^^*) although I'm not usually a stressy person, it'd really cheer me up when I get writer's block. 

The holiday photos, or most of them, have been uploaded as you know, and I hope you like them this year. Hong Kong really is food and shopping heaven (as it is famously referred to in Asia). It's so international, you're bound to find something you like there (*^^*) from western to asian cuisine and fashion from all over the world and all prices!

I'm slowly working on my own fashion style too... I've never really changed my style but I've/it has sure grown a lot. I've recently come across my old toddler photos and wow my Mother used to dress me up like a fashionista hahahah~ 

From boys clothes to girly pink dresses. But she would say that no matter how she would dress me girly, she always thinks I look naturally better in baby boys' clothes or unisex clothes - she blames it on my personality showing through. All I needed was a baby T and baby dungarees and I'd be perfect, whereas she had to fiddle around with my hair and socks etc. to make me look good in dresses xD Haha!

Hopefully I'll find more time to upload fashion related posts and things that inspire me in general. But do let me know if you have requests and any feedback! I would really appreciate it! (*^^*)

On that note I really must go... 

I'll catch you all after my work (*^.~*)

Hope to hear from you!

(*^~^*)
