Intermission.

Been going to the library almost everyday since 2 weeks ago. 14 hours a day was the longest time I've clocked in in the library.

Exams are in another 1.5 weeks. EEKS! So I'm not going to blog until after exams as I'm also gonna be moving house next weekend. Major changes, major stessors!

Chasing Rainbows (:

Got this kaleidoscope necklace from the Picadilly Market in London engraved with my name (so no one can steal it :p).

It's on my neck almost all the time since I got it and it's hard for me to part with it. Love how it makes me feel happy everytime I look through it and spin the discs around. The shapes and colours it makes just reminds me of a rainbow.

Just one of the little things that make my day (:

Happy Father's Day, Dad (:

To my daddy. Love you pops (:

Warm Apple Crumble to save the day (:

Took some flour, butter, brown sugar, oats, cinammon and apples, threw them together (with no proper measurements whatsoever) and made APPLE CRUMBLE CRISPY!

Tastes absolutely YUMMY (i'm not even kidding, seriously) - crispy where the crumble is and soft and warm where the apple is.

That's it.

From today onwards, I'm gonna bake apple crumbles based on intuition and not use a recipe anymore. Because THIS apple crumble, my friends, made my very depressed friend who's had a terrible day happy again. As prove, I even got a text message saying thank you for the apple crispy specifically because it made him feel better. Boy oh boy, can it do wonders (:

Even I'm feeling so much happier to study Paeds for tmr's exam now.

All hail Apple Crispy/Crumble! (:

It's more than something small.

Received this in the post today. It almost made me cry. I'm so touched by the gesture, the thought. Just when I needed encouragement the most, He never fails to surprise me. To know that I have such a wonderful friend that would care enough to send me a handmade card, that alone reminds me of how amazing He can be (:

The bible verse that came with it.

Psalm 5:11-12

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You. For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with Your favour as with a shield.

It is true, His love never fails. Thank you Sarah (:

Tumblr sites are addictive -_-

Spent the past 2 hours surfing tumblr sites instead of studying. I do feel guilty but I'm hoping I'll make up for it tonight :/

Here are some of my favs from tumblr, hope it cheers everyone up like it did me (:
