Christopher Kane for Topshop mirrored and grommet leggings and Alexander McQueen zipper booties.  What lust.

it’s been awhile

and a lot has changed hasn’t it?

1) For one, i am no longer in Bristol.  no longer in the UK.  Instead, I am now back at my home uni finishing my last year.  I’m really missing life in Bristol, especially all my friends.  Things just aren’t the same and as much as I love being with my friends at my home uni, I feel like a part of me is missing.

2) I’m in my final year of uni.  Ridiculous innit?  Almost 4 years have gone by in a heartbeat.

3) well…the front page of wordpress is completely different.

no i’m not dead.

but I have finished exams.  Therefore, I’ve been out quite a bit.

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the June 4th Tiananmen massacre.  It was the only day where I wished I was back in HK early, to attend the candlight vigil.  After studying the history of Communist China this past term, I have to admit, I do look upon the entire incident with a new light, a different perspective.  Dare I say, in a way, I can understand why the elders and the senior party members chose to end the protests in this matter.

exam stress.

I just realised, that no matter how much I had said that I wasn’t stressed about exams, I am.  It’s come down to basically the last 12 hours, and I’ve finally accepted the fact that I’m feeling the strain.  How have I been able to tell?

1.)  When what I’m reading is not making any sense even though I’ve studied this.

2.) When I can’t concentrate on anything for more than 5 minutes.

3.) When the thought of seeing my friends stresses me out – that I need to pretty much be kept in solitary confinement to focus.

4.) When I just realise that I haven’t had a proper meal in 2 days.  Yesterday, I had toast, a few strawberries and random snacks.  Today, I’ve had a piece of salmon, grapes and more snacks.   Once my body realises that I really am in crunch time, I’m just not hungry.  Maybe I should be in crunch time more often..then I can lose weight.

5.) When I’m just at the point of giving up.

fuck.  please inspire me.

in the midst of revisions

How do you travel in a world with no light?

On the other hand, while taking a break from revision, Eurovision last night was rather hilarious, especially if you watched it on BBC1 with Graham Morton.  Loved Norway.  ngl.

And right now, if I could be anyone for a day, I would love to be Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, daughter of Corinne Roitfeld, editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris.  The Selby has pictures of Julia Roitfeld at home in NYC.  Here are a few selections:

I love it.  As I’ve said, The Selby has more pictures, which can be seen here.  Cheers loves.  xx
