First week in MPharm Year 2
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 by Kiyu

I’m back in track in England have settled down nicely in my new flat. I still live on campus due to some very unforeseen last minute decisions last year, but I’m not complainging — I’m still close to everything and campus life in England is a very social one. The photo above shows the dressing corner of my room. I have a wardrobe, but I’ve always been fond of clothes racks to showcase your more original/pretty pieces of clothing. I reckon anyone interested in designing would benefit from having a rack instead of a drawer or a normal wardrobe! The long white garment at the front there is actually my ball gown from last year’s pharmacy ball :) I’ve met the new pharmacy freshers and they all looked a bit scared and overwhelmed. Hah, feels like it was only a month ago that I was a fresher myself! Oh well, I already have quite a bit of work to do only 3 days into the new year, but I’m a second year student now so I guess they expect us to work for a change.

I went to London on Friday to see some friends of mine I’ve been meaning to see for a full year now but never got around to. I saw this guy in Trafalgar Square and was so intrigued by it that I asked him to hold up the signs for me so that I could snap a photo. He refused and said he would do it on one condition: if I agreed to do what the sign said. I reluctantly did my bit by letting them take photo of me holding one of their signs, and there is now a slight possibility that I will be in their music video for their debute single on 4th October. Should be exciting.

It was SocMart yesterday, which means all the societies at my university set up stalls to try to convince you to join their society. I managed to join about 6 societies – Literature, Creative Writing, Hong Kong (I’m in the committee, actually), Pharmacy, Coctail and South-East-Asian. I also signed up for Ladies Society (female equivalent to a Gentleman’s Club, you know those posh ones you sometimes see in England) and Glee society, but I’m not entirely sure how I am going to juggle all this in addition to my studies. Sportsmart commences today as well, which is when all the sports club set up stalls and I might rejoin archery this year. I’m not sure. I wish there were 48 hrs in a day.
In any case, I just realized I forgot to tell you that I am the Creative Director in Hong Kong Society this year. My job is to do all the designing bit for logo, membership cards, business cards, tshirts and hoodies, leaflets, brochures etc. Basically anything that needs designing! Am I enjoying doing something creative again? Hell yes I am!

Baby bunnies
Thursday, August 19th, 2010 by Kiyu


One of the many baby bunnies that I stalk on campus… Because I want to share with you how adorable my babies are! And also how awesome UEA is. I’m actually going back soon, I’ve missed my bunnies! They will have grown into adults by now and be even more shy and faster than ever…

Also, I am now seriously dark and jump whenever I see my own reflection in mirrors and windows. I know my natural hair colour is the darkest of dark, but that knowledge alone doesn’t prevent me from not recognizing myself with my new superdark ash hue. I also think darker hair (especially rich, brown tones) exudes a more sexy and alluring air than lighter shades, but light colours are more casual and innocent which is what I prefer. I don’t get why “hot babes” always opt for blonde hues, they should go dark to optimize their sex appeal!
And lastly some better quality shots:

Iridescent brown
Friday, April 9th, 2010 by Kiyu

Crappy full body.

Close-up
My fringe is so funky, it’s curled in a way that makes it look like it’s braided! Me like! Now the colour just needs some getting-used-to time :) You should see it in real life when it’s sparkling in the sunlight and the two different shades really get to play out nicely! Photos can never do a brilliant colour justice, mine is actually more ashy?

Hair products galore!
Thursday, April 8th, 2010 by Kiyu

Fine, I admit it. I’m a product junkie.
See all those bottles and tubes? They’re all for my hair. You could say that I’m obsessed with hair the way some girls are obsessed with make-up! I love playing around with hair, whether it be cutting, colouring or styling—love it all!
Some of my favourites:

I’m so excited about tomorrow, I’m leaving my hair in the hands of a professional (for the first time!) to have my roots and colour done. All I have to do is lean back, enjoy the pampering and leave behind a ridiculous amount of money! :D
