I've been home for almost a month now! Wasn't used to it at first, but I actually really like it here. I missed my family lots, so I'm happy about getting to see them every day :) Gonna try to summarize my past 30 living days in one entry--here goes!
I miss having a pretty roommate =[
With Dylan.. an awesome singer he is!
Went out night after night... I miss LKF soo much!
With Kathy during my last visit to HKU!
Last couple of images from Hong Kong! My last outing with my cousins </3

But all good things have to come to an end (otherwise, how do we appreciate them!?)! So, after a 14-hour plane ride and hours of hulking and sulking, I made a surprisingly quick recovery from my withdrawal stage and began to appreciate my "normal" life again :)
Jess was being her awesome self & spent lots of time with me :)
We took a whole set of photos, most of which are posted on FB :)
Loooove this girl.
Webcam whoring.

So nice to spend time with old friends <3 Bri & I playing big2, our all-time favourite.
Annnnnd guess who came to visit all the way from Omaha, Nebraska? Ryan! :)

Oh, I've found myself a new hobby! Well, two to be precise. Photography and lomography :) My dad doesn't really use his dslr, so he let me have his Canon Rebel XT. It's relatively old, but good nonetheless.
It's my fave new toy <3
I've been bringing my dslr with me everywhere. I look like a freakin' tourist/paparazzi/stalker, but I don't care :D I've always admired other people's photography, and now I finally have the equipment to pursue it myself! Yay. The other day I was really desperate to take photos of the setting sun... and I was literally chasing the sunset.

I looked like a fool :( Not to mention that I made my sister worry I got raped *rolls eyes*... I didn't even get the shot I wanted either, I'm so full of fail.

I've been spending so much time downtown these days! There's just so much more to see and do. I love living uptown for its comfort, but it gets pretty dull sometimes. Plus, methinks there's better variety of food downtown :)
Went to Night It Up! over the weekend. It was the closest I'll ever be to an authentic night market in Taiwan for a looong time. It brought back nice memories :)
In Korean town <3 I love my banchan!
I like this shot of Jacky!

Ever since exchange ended, I've felt an ever pressing need to just go out and "experience" Toronto for what it is. It's definitely not the same as Asia though, since going out in Canada usually means spending lots of money, especially on transportation.
At the Toronto Outdoor Arts Exhibition :)
Beautiful sky :)
Brings out my artsy side :) I wanna sew so badly (no pun intended).
And what's a July in Toronto without Summerlicious!? At Alize Restaurant.
With Chen!
Me & my udon (nts: Never order Asian food at an Italian restaurant! D:)
I was so tempted to PS my cheeks in this photo, but I (grudgingly) let it be *sigh*
Jocey said, "You're reading, AGAIN!?" and snapped this photo.
Shortly after that... The classic pout D:
My sock... SOME progress, hopefully!? :D

Aside from going out, I've been trying to get some things done at home too. Basically, things that I don't really have time to do throughout the school year... I.e. knit, read, dance, etc. I finished 3 books in the past week or so, so I am fairly pleased with myself :)

In terms of dance, Jocey & I have been trying to choreograph Feedback by Janet Jackson. It's our first serious attempt at choreography, so I'd say we're doing pretty well :) We're not exactly disciplined though, so we only have 30 secs so far D: I'll post a YT video when I decide we've improved! :D
Also, I've always had this crazy idea to... write and illustrate a children's book o_o. It might sound far-fetched, but I really think I can do it. I just need to manage my time well (which also means less time on this blog :D). If I could accomplish just this lone goal of mine, my summer is complete <3
Hopefully by my next entry, I will have done the following:
I'm way over my head right now. But at least I have my lolly :)

Hopefully by my next entry, I will have done the following:
- Finish Atonement by Ian McEwan;
- Choreograph 60secs of Feedback;
- Figure out my lomo cameras;
- Rough draft of my book
