Hotel Mama

Here I am,

finally (!!!) graduated from High School in Germany after 13 years of discipline (meaning waking up too early to even think), smartness (most of the time, I didn't get that part right) and/or (mainly) comradeship.

I swear to all of my books that I've read in school (which I would have probably burned down by now if it were not for my love towards books) that school wasn't so bad (since my school books aren't worth much, this statement about school being okay won't count anymore in about 10 min from when I end this blog entry). 

I mean, I've made some friends, then lost a few friends, and made new ones at another school (yes, Point Grey, I miss you and our precious time together) and solidified comradeship over time. Not that this was the most important aspect of school (well it can be, in case of starting your social life) but it helps pushing all the studying aspects and i-hate-teachers-and-their-homework-aspect aside for a while. Just until the time you become a Senior in High School, you can enjoy your time to the fullest! I remember talking with a friend about how I used to freak out when I missed the first bus home and got scared that my parents would worry immediately. Seriously, don't worry about your grades until you hit 10th Grade. I shouldn't have worried about my Math German and English grades (I will not list any other subject since it will make me look stupid next to all the other millions of smart Asians my age) in 7th or 8th Grade (I was in a horrible state, excuse me ò.ó!)

I've just googled being a Senior (because I wasn't too sure if this word is used in Canada as well - I didn't hear it when I was there) and at the "see also" part, a term called senioritis came up. You wanna know what it means? :) Sure you want, the only people reading my blog entries are either stupid or students around my age (plus minus 5-10 years of age difference):
It is a disease of disinterest or lack of motivation to study that seems to only haunt the Senior students or students nearing their graduation. Use the urban dictionary, it's fun because apparently, the only cure for it is graduation haha :D and I think I'm speaking for all of us graduates that we have definitely experienced it coz I surely did!!! All the pressure teachers and other people put on you and all the stress with studying for exams (because it makes you crazy not to know what topic it will be) will drive you bananas (listen to Toothbrush - Wax I love this song)! 

And now that everything is over, the anticipation and the anxiety, you can relax (for about three months). If you're smart, you use it to go on vacation (deserved), find work to earn some money or I don't know anything but stay at home becoming a coach potato who misses all of the friends who actually do the first or second option. 

As you might have already guessed, I did the third option. Not willingly, circumstances brought me the honour of staying at home the whole time. 
How do I use this free time? I read (or I try to read because the four books I ordered still didn't arrive...I feel like I'm deprived of books), meet with a few friends when they have the time and the nerve to bear with me and go shopping with my parents (mostly my mom). I distract myself from this loneliness (of not seeing my best friend for three weeks) by rearranging my book shelves, writing unfinished stories (free time and boredom really inspire me!) and talking to my newly aquired bottle:

Isn't it cuuuuuuuuuuuuute? Yes it is, I already know the answer hah!

Okay, look at my pitiful self, I better go to sleep and forget about my loneliness because tomorrow I will finally get a dvd full of photos of my prom and I hope there will be acceptable photos of me with my friends. 
Ciao,

Lovely Kimmy~~

So what has happened so far? How bout some random pictures, showing what 2012 has got to give!

In April, I turned 18 and got a little surprise party organised by my dear friend M.!! Thanks a lot for my first and best surprise party ever!
Take a look at this.

My birthday:

 Not much to say actually. I was kidnapped by my friends (a whole bunch of idiots,..nice people,..girls) who at first, dressed me up with a party hat and a weird t-shirt that says: "Already 18 but still lives with mommy" (which I got as a present from a friend's dad :D my only comment: ...LOL) After great efforts of opening all the presents and throwing away wrapping paper, we split into I don't know how many groups and drove to Narnia (translation: an American-style diner which offers reaaalllyy good hamburgers and milkshakes *.*).  Totally made my day ;) Thanks girls! ;* 

My sister got me a photoshoot as a present, and here are the results of Lara. Thanks again!

My present:

Our parents should be proud to have such two cuties as their children! Must be an awesome feeling to have us at home :)) 
Look at what a great couple we make! Now that I look at these two photos, it seems like we're ying and yang: Never without the other.

We had so much luck to have the sun on our side that day since it had started to rain these days! Usually, that beach is quite crowdy as I heard but we were the only ones (so a place to change was no longer a problem :P). However, the sun was reaaaally bright and so we often needed our sunglasses. Still cool right?

                   These two pictures are pretty well done. I must say we look a lot better alone

If you look at these two pictures up above, you'll know how my sister and I are at home...pretty funny, ain't we? :D But it's actually true..we REALLY are like that.

So, some of you might know that I've been on a Germany tour during summer holidays with two of my lovely cousins! I've seen a totally different world to me and enjoyed it pretty much! Thanks again to my BanhBao friend and dogpower as well as my genius and cutiepie! <3 Love rulez

This Summer:

I really love the many beautiful sides of Germany! We've seen a lot, experienced a lot and enjoyed it a lot! That's all that counts!   It's us three against the world! Don't expect too much..How many cities did we visit? Let's count...1..2..3.:

Dresden, Passau, München, Darmstadt, Hamburg, Berlin, Bremen, Köln, Aachen, and some smaller cities near Rhein- Ruhr! :))
Would we do it again? Definitely and recommended!

Even if it is only for the purpose of taking a closer look at the surroundings of potential universities for us, it was so much fun and the weather was nice and sunny. Just the feeling of needing a map (or google maps) to get around was exciting ;> that was our very own adventure!  

No words needed to describe the atmosphere! Just LOVE <3

So next on the list is our class trip to England, not many photos but a great memory: Viva English LK, Gellert! Thanks for the great last memories of us all together. 

England:

Look at that sky!!! Unfortunately, we did not have this nice weather all the time..we weren't even allowed to go swim in the sea...well, it was too cold anyway.. There was a cliff, called the White Cliffs. Great view and quite windy but a great place to chill out.
We had a bus with us at all times to get from our bungalow park in Kingsdown to for example: Canterburry, London or Dover. Canterburry is reaaaalllyy nice, has many but cute smaller boutiques, is a rather smaller city but has a nice feeling to it. Those of you who like it loud and busy, London offers you rain, people with no sense whatsoever for road traffic and an m&m world. Smells like chocolate wherever you go.


                            

Last but not least, not an memorable event in my life but still important, a new haircut! Took me long enough to get over my fears of straight bangs. I like it though. Thanks to my new fav hairdresser!

New Haircut:

That's about all that has happened so far in my life in 2012. Let me express lots of gratitude to all of the people mentioned above and all the others (friends, family, acquaintances) who made 2012 waaay better than I had expected! 
I will upload some more photos if I have the time or the patience or the boredom. 

Lovely me~

April is coming~

Ok I know that it has been a whiiillleee and I'm seriously sorry!My excuse as always: School has been keeping me busy since February and exams really annoyed me this time...double-shot exhausting...But for now I have my holidays and I can enjoy it not a bit totally (I have lots of homework over the holidays?! HELLOO?? I have to read two books, one for German and one for French class, 13 pages a day; not that it's much to read but that is just too much school in my free days for me..).

So how are you all going to enjoy Easter? I guess I'm visiting my grandma again this year, as always :) maybe I'll get to meet my relatives *.* ok
What's up next in my schedule? Well, I'm going to watch the Hunger Games in the theaters tmr! And I'm going to have a real nice girls'-movie-and-gossip-night-while-eating-and-drinking-all-you-can-eat tmr as well. Had to rush to supermarkets to get some snacks (by duty is to get some snacks, isn't that a wonderful job to choose everything u like?) just now...-____-'

Oh aaand don't forget my birthday, I'm letting you guess the day!! It's in April, and it's during school time again...-___-''''''''''''''''''

So, gonna watch Avatar the Legend of Korra right now^^

To BanhBao friend

Thanks especially for your helpful comment :) about your idea to post some film critics or reviews: That is a really useful thought. I might try it out but I'm not too sure if I can keep it up that well since I don't really watch many movies often because of school and it keeps getting busier and busier, though, I will try it out some time! Just recently I was talking to someone about the new Sherlock Holmes and she was talking about what she liked and disliked about it like a real film critics :D

this morning on a milk pack, they offered a second cinema ticket free-of-charge when you buy one ticket for "Happy Feet 2" and also collect 4 marks from 4 milk packs :O I was like: 'Should I do it or should I not?!?!?!?!?!'


I hope in the new year and in the future I still get some more interesting comments like these in my blog!!
:* love you all!!

Happy New Year 2012!!!

I wish you all lots of love, happiness and success in the New Year 2012! Stay healthy and keep working hard and get some motivation in school/university/work and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your christmas vacation :*

What does christmas mean to you?

So how was your Christmas?!


Mine was wonderful!

It says: Merry Christmas!

First day: I spent my time at my grandma's place near Frankfurt and all my relatives gathered there and we ate a feast with lots of food that everyone made themselves and brought from home. Everyone made something different! Like a typical vietnamese family, we sat down on the floor to eat since there was not much space and the table wouldn't fit for everyone. As a dessert we had a really big pie!

Lots of fooood <3

Second day: Everyone then drove to one of the relative's house near Stuttgart. Again we had a wonderful feast which was prepared by the best ambitious cook I have ever met! The mother of my dear cousin "BanhBao" can cook ANYTHING! She made donuts on her own and baked some cookies as well!

This is like choco fondue but just with lots of fish or meat and salad!

Third day: Last stop at my aunt's house. She has a pizza restaurant....but nooo we first went to a Chinese restaurant!.....THEN we ate pizza at home in the evening :D we also rocked the party with loud music and disco lights! Fun fun fun! ;>

Conclusion: Christmas for me is a festivity which includes my whooooollleeee family and looooooooots of food :> we talk, we laugh, we sleep and we eat together, do everything together and we enjoy ourselves together! That's what I love about Christmas!

Merry Christmas :)

Heeeelllooo guys!!

I just wanted to say: enjoy your vacation! Celebrate Christmas to the fullest, don't open your gifts too fast, and make "all you can eat" have another meaning :)

What's going on on Christmas? Well, my family is meeting after such a long time and we all eat and celebrate together, exchange some presents (mainly the younger ones) and I suppose, we also go to church (my once in a year chance to do something good).

I've already got my presents from my sis coz we won't get the time to exchange gifts later on and as we don't wanna carry all the stuff around, we did it before :> pssst!

I'll upload some photos of our Christmas as soooon as I come back :> I hope you guys all enjoy Christmas with your family, if not, enjoy it anyways! and Be sure to laugh a lot since this is un événement joyeux! Also, I hope that u all get soooooooooooo many presents that will last till next Christmas ;)

so, Byeeeeeeeeee~~
