happy birthday dear sis.....

my dear baby sister is not so baby anymore...yesterday was her 15th birthday; she's in year 10, grade 8 on piano and knows how to do her hair better than me. did you know she could also ball girl?

as a little surprise..(cos we all love surprises thaaaat much), my family and i decided to treat her to a ukulele! as a musical genius and one with many talents, the photo on the right hand side says it all! ^

the gorgeous lady with the new addition to the family!

to celebrate, we went out to dine at pizza express! ordering about 3 large pizzas in total, pesto pasta, salmon risotto and their must-have doughballs! mmhmmm...

love you hunny, wishing you a fruitful year ahead and that your music talent will be used to bless others. lots of love x

and here's a complimentary pic of my parents trying to cut up pizzas.

Colour my Friday: fiery salsa.

lately.

the summer heat is already kicking in and as soon as you step out of the house, it's humidity and sticky air all round. i was speaking to a friend of mine this morning, who's in hong kong for a holiday. apparently the 32C england weather today does not compare to the weather there! i asked her what hk meant; she replied with "humidity kingdom". hmmm, debatable.

carrots, smoky cheese and salmon salad with garlic mayonnaise.

it's become so hot as of lately that i've decided to abandon my usual cookies and snacks and opt for some refreshing salad instead! i guess the chocolate digestives were just too much to handle in this heat. ah man, i've always wondered what would get me to eat healthier. 

seeing as school is (nearly!) drawing to a close, i've found i'm getting less and less work these days hoorah! as a result, i've decided to set up another instagram account to post less of the usual met-up-with-my-good-friend-today-pictures, but ones which would allow me to develop my creative flair. follow me if you like @lifeofhevs!

as i've mentioned in my previous post, these polaroid selfies can end up being disastrous for some and making sure everyone fits in can be chaotic, trust me. although i must say, the beauty of a polaroid camera is not knowing how your picture will turn out until it develops (particularly selfies!), but to minimise the risks of people getting upset about non-photoshopable photos of them, i've invested in a clever click-on mirror for taking people at their best angles ;)

here's to the 1st anniversary of the Chinese Association for Cancer Care this month! i've been busily helping out with catering and welcome, as well as meeting new people at this event. the tv crew also popped by! now let's see if i've made it into the camera........

as summer is drawing nearer, everyone seems to be in the holiday high and working low. here's a snap of when my headteacher decided to get us to fold letters and post it to local residents during our economics lesson. seems like he's not in the mood for education either. 

and last but not least: the best monday i've had in a while! i dropped by brighton with my friend to escape the rains of london and by whatta contrast the beach weather was! of course, you can't resist a good ole fish and chips by the sea ;)

Colour My Friday: summer explosion.

rain and football.

last saturday i attended a football tournament; not to play but to cheer on my good friends! although greeted by showers of rain, our team came through at 3rd place, well done! 

of course, all football matches ends with food, LOTS of food! we dined at the o2 in north greenwich and attempted some polaroid selfies.

after realising the fun in polaroid selfie-ing, i've hopped onto ebay and bought a polaroid selfie mirror. you know, just to make life a bit easier so you won't end up with nostril-flaring photos:

a bantiful weekend.

This past weekend was crazy fun. I felt as though I was almost a hyperactive dog finally being let out the house - it's been far too long since I've had such a blast after the hell of exams. Defo feel as though I've missed out on so much fun. Here are some polaroids from this weekend!

Saturday was a special day, witnessing the baptism of our brother and buying ridiculously pink flowers for him. This is what friends are for! :)

I dropped by a friend's house with a group of girls and had sushi tea accompanied with perks of laughter. And of course, we had to watch the world cup before leaving.

On Sunday, I went to Regents Park with the crew after church for football practise. Well, practically speaking, their football practise. Me? Yeah, I don't mix with exercise. 

Also, how do people do football AND rain?

Hope everyone's had as much of a blast as me! Bring on the next weekend!!!!!!
