happy moon festival!

it's that time of the year again, the moon festival! which means .. an abundance of mooncakes! yummmmmy! for those who aren't of chinese descent it can be described pretty much as the asian version of valentines day - minus the flowers and roses and lovely dovey couples - ok fine so it's no where near the equivalent of valentines day. but it does have to do with love!

i'll try to explain it as briefly as i can - sorry if i am not that accurate - there are different versions! but it all revolves around the same storyline anyway. so once upon a time there was this man and woman. lets name him barry and her gertrude. barry was an earthling and gertrude was from heaven. these two met on one fateful day (with chinese legends anything goes - i think gertrude descended to earth for a visit) and fell in love. however, the keeper of the heaven found out about the affair and punished the couple. they were never allowed to meet again - and gertrude was banned from coming down to earth ever again. both these two heartbroken lovebirds cried and cried until a person - erm, george? - felt sorry for them. george had a lot of power. so george, being the compassionate natured old man he was, granted the couple one wish - that they were allowed to meet once a year on the moon. barry and gertrude were stoked! and so the story goes, that they would wait around until that date arrived so they would spend that one special night together doing god knows what hehe.

whoa, this mini LV mooncake set me back freaking $30 bucks!
more like $27 for the LV sticker and $3 for the mooncake!

no way! just kidding! i'm not insane, it was free. taylor went to louis vuitton today and they were giving out free mooncakes, and she was kind enough to give me one =D. not like i needed another one, i still have the two boxes of mooncakes to demolish - half way there! athough i am getting sick of them as they are quite sweet.

so there should be a full moon tomorrow night. ooh, aren't wierd things supposed to happen during full moons? better be careful people, angie is going to turn into a hairy wolf!

exams are dangerously near, and still a few assignments to complete! being sick in the past few days has really set me back a great deal, as far as uni work is concerned. and me being the slackass i am did not do any work during the lame one week mid-semester break i had. so while i am procrastinating right now, as i lack any motivation whatsoever to complete this assignment due tomorrow - i've written myself motivational notes, placed them on cards and shoved them in front of my face - literally. this is what i see when i look at the wall in front of me:

yes i deliberately blurred it - embarassing, you know!

my favourite - my dad asked me why i will die lol

so hopefully i will take my notes seriously 'cause right now i find it all too amusing. one says "wake up! seriously!" 'cause i always seem to feel tired everytime i think about the work i have to do. i mean, if i can still have the energy to pick up a mag, type up irrelevant entries like this one, do everything i can to avoid doing what i really need to do - then i should have enough energy to finish off everything and start studying yeah? go try telling that to my brain! as i am nearing this entry i suddenly feel sleepy .. because i have to get back to doing my assignment after i post this up .. boohoo.
