BLOGGER'S WONKY again..
Blogger's wonky so I couldn't post this on blogger.. Thought I should be updating my blog soon esp since I've been MIA for the past few days due to rushing reports after more reports after EVEN MORE reports.
I'm just wondering about something. The world just seem pretty strange to me. It's like the ones that will like always be there for me (I hope I didn't speak too soon) are those that like me but not romantically (for guys). Oh wells.. let's just see where things go for now..

I'm back, kiddos~
I'm back from Austria =) I shan't say Vienna cos that's not the only place we went to in Austria. The place's pretty nice so I'll just blog a little abt everything.
Day 1 (Changi Airport to Doha Airport to transit and then to Vienna Airport):
It's alright at Changi.. There's quite a lot of ppl actually and here's a pic of my shoe which I've always wanted to wear to school and I didn't but I wore it to Vienna. (Cait: haha~ finally you get to see my shoe >.<)
slacked until like 1+ in the morning cos the flight is at 2.. =/ We had to pack our liquid in this ziplock bag and Divya forgot that her trumpet polish were considered liquid so she had to pack them in a ziplock bag at the airport and the bag was ridiculously huge.
Took Qatar Airway to Doha for stop over. Managed to catch the sunrise twice (cos we're travelling "back in time". Vienna's 6 hrs behind Singapore).
First sunrise. See the blurry rainbow colored sky?
Second sunrise. Cool right? But apologies for not being able to capture the distinct 7 colors that I saw..
It's super pretty and beautiful ^-^ Doha's the capital of Qatar and it's in the middle east somewhere near Dubai on the world map.. Wells, it's a pretty neat place with free wireless. Haha~ Gel hearts free wireless cos I can use my touch to im =p But I got disconnected and I couldn't log back on =/ Oh wells.. Then I went to the ladies to wash up since I've not really had time to wash up on the plane.. Culture shock. Ok, I don't think it's Doha culture but rather some other country's culture when this lady put her foot into the sink to wash her feet and I felt pretty grossed out as I was washing my face in the sink next to hers o.O Oh wells, at least I didn't meet such people on my way back. Then after 3 hours, we boarded the plane to Vienna =)
Lovely ice crystals formed on the window =p Drats, my camera couldn't focus on it.. =/ It's really beautiful >.<
Then we arrive at Vienna and we took a coach to Salzburg.
Caught this on the way. Isn't it lovely? But the way, it's not photoshopped though I think there's some reflection =/
Sunset in Austria
Day 2: Salzburg
Went sightseeing at Hellbrunn's castle and the trick fountains.
The paintings are life size. Char and Wing are there to show you the scale of the fish..
Some really famous opera singer who sang in the dome at Hellbrunn's castle. I felt honored to sing there too >.<
Trick's fountain. One of the king's past-times - to joke around..
More fountains.. Only Dr Wong and I refused to enter the house so we didn't get wet =p
Dr Wong seemingly sitting in mid air. Actually she's sitting on this pole thingy...
We moved on to Mozart house. So after visiting the place we walked around...
Dr Wong and her "dog"
11:11 - Someone once told me that if you see 11:11, it means that someone misses you.
Beautiful sky =)
Day 3: Swarovski galore
100% swarovski crystals. look at how they bling >.<
Largest crystal on Earth, about 300k carat o.O I know bigger is better but I don't want such a huge crystal on my engagement ring many years down the road...
a beautiful blend of the moon and the sun
pink jellyfish =) 100% swarovski
This huge swarovski star =) The glow is not photoshopped but rather, it's unintentional.
Char and I sitting on a sofa encrusted with swarovski crystals. Hearts hearts hearts. Look at how it blings =)
Headed down to Innsbruck for more sightseeing =)
Quote from Fang Yi - That's Mozart holding his balls.
Super nice ice cream that costs 3 euros. I had mango (darker yellow) and passion fruit (pale yellow). It was sweet and sour. A really delicious fruity combination.
Day 4: Visit to St Gilgens School, Mondsee and Stay over at Vienna =)
St Gilgen's school is super cool. The class rooms are super nice (I'm jsut too lazy to upload those pics) and the uniform is a really nice shade of blue. Some of the guys are pretty hot too.. haha~ (according to Fangyi and Wing's definition. Apparently both of them, especially Fangyi, are attracted to hot guys) However, the school fees is 45k euro a year >.< ouch =/
Took a pic of two dogs seemingly smooching =x Cute or not?
Me posing with the huge ice cream model =)
Lunch on our own. Char, Shell, Wing and I went to some Austrian Cafe for a slab of meat and some salad. The shopowner was so nice to give us potato salad, shrimp salad and this cheesy Austrian meat for just 4.80 euros. It's a pretty good deal for meat and a bit of seafood =x We are VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS~ VERY VERY SATISFIED.
Dinner at some Austrian Cafe. Char's "Gel-told-me-to-pose-in-the-I'm-thinking-of-someone's-pose" pose.
Day 5: Visit to Schonbrunn Palace and Chocolate Factory =)
Super lucky. Char and I caught this at Schonbrunn Palace. Someone's missing us.. Aww.. Haha~
Me in the public garden section of Schonbrunn Palace. It's the only place where photos are allowed. Phototaking is prohibitted in the palace so I couldn't capture the pretty ornaments and chandeliers. I like taking photos of lights like chandeliers in a dim setting so the light stands out more.
Next stop, chocolate factory. The promotional video and tour was in German so I didn't understand anything. Couldn't only vaugely try to decipher those German words. At least I've learnt to say "Danken" which means "Thank you".
Ron as Mozart (If you don't know, he's a composer from the Classical Period) and Nee as Elizabeth "Sissi" Taylor (However her surname was spelt. She's one of the queens of Austria who was both intelligent and beautiful)
Chocolate art
More chocolate art
Wing walking on a white line while we were heading for JS Bach School of Music
The principal of the school has his own look-alike doll =)
Bruno (the cello instructor's son) and I. Ron is just extra.. Sorry Nee, I'll attempt to photoshop you in too so that it'll be like a happy family =)
Bruno receiving air smoochies from Wing and Shell. Aww so cute. Wing got kissed by Bruno twice on the cheek >.< Aww.. so cute~~
Day 7: Shopping day
My second attempt at making ham angels.. Does it look like one?
My pot of tea. How cute, the cup's below the teapot >.<
Char with her apple juice =)
Me and my cup of tea. That's how huge the teacup is. The advantage is that it cools the tea real fast.
Went shopping and we bought lots of stuff =) Char and I bought perfumes at some store. She got Gucci's Envy Me which smells really good and I got Feerie by Van Cleef & Arpels. Super nice =)
Ok, pic taken at home but there's the bottle. The 100ml bottle has this "silver fairy on a silver swing" cap instead of my flower cap =/
We also went to Claire's! It's my latest favourite accessories shop. It's so pretty with all the girly stuff and I bought this pair of greyish-sparkly leggings. Haven't tried it though. Haha~ And Divya got me this pink headband from Claire's too. I hearts Claire's. Then we went to H&M since Nes kept telling me how she managed to get sale items and how good the items were. So Char and I got headbands =) I got a turquoise one and Char got the black one and another silver glittery metal one.
My headbands. Pink one's from Claire's, turquoise one's from H&M.
Then we headed to The Body Shop (another one of my fav brands) and I bought this gift set cos it's much cheaper than in Singapore =) haha~ I love The Body Shop. Guess what, apparently it drizzled a little while Char and I were at The Body Shop. We're so lucky ^-^ Then we went to get some lunch before going to Billa's for more souvenir chocolate and this waffer place for waffer =p
Then it was a tour of an opera house and then more shopping. This time we went to SIX and Char bought a cap from there. Then we headed down to Accessorize and Char like this white cap but she wasn't sure if she wanted to get it and I bought this Black stocking-looking pants (After I read Cait's post on tights, I wasn't sure if I should call it tights, leggings or stockings for fear that people have different definitions). It was on discount and I didn't know so I was super happy =) Then went for dinner at this Austria cafe with Nes, Divya and Fangyi. Had homemade Austrian sausages and rosti =) Then we split up to get stuff. Nes and Divya went to Bill to get bottled water for us while Fangyi, Char and I rushed to Accessorize to get more stuff. I bought a pair of knee-length grey socks, another white stocking-looking pants and Char bought her caps. Fangyi decided to buy more caps too. Haha~ I love shopping and I'm gonna add it on to the list of my favourite shops =p
Day 8: Home sweet home
Sunset on board.. Nice?
Char and I =)
A super bored Dr Wong at the airport while we waited for the transit.
I was elated cos there was wireless for me and I was IM-ing for close to an hour before Char said "Angela, go order your dinner" cos we were at the counter at A&W and I've not decided on what I wanted. Haha~
Board the plane and came home safely. Thank God for protecting us.
Now I'm kinda tired and I need to do church stuff for tmr and I want to sleep >.< Sighs =x

hello ppl, blogger is wonky so i'll upload pics here
heys, here's what i did on sunday in preparation for teachers' day. i baked cupcakes and decorated them. these designs were purely my idea and i love it lots ^-^ i'm so going to bake more cupcakes another time. i doubt my friends would like another cupcake in september.. i was thinking of trying something else.. something easy to bake and sweet.. =p
my lovely cupcakes. aren't they lovely? =) (ok, i'm just extremely proud of my culinary and aesthetic skills. maybe i should have taken 3d art.. then i'll probably bake for everything or sew them)
my juicy couture inspired cupcakes cos they're brown and pink. it's baby pink icing, not white =/
my rose designer cupcakes. i wanted to name it eden but i guess i'll do a more fanciful and nicer one for eden. so i guess i'll name this erms.. hmm.. chantelle?
chantelle close up. admire the flower and the silver balls~
wells, 4 of my female friends' birthdays are round the corner so i decided to get them some stuff from perlini's. they should give me a membership or what since i always patronize them.. at least twice a year... once during christmas to get my christmas pressie - another perlini's studs for the following year for school and another piece of silver jewelry for casual wear. maybe i'll like a bracelet this time =)
one for maehwee, one for yunhui, one for cheryl (yes i got you perlini's. hope you'll like it) and one for kia (i've got the same one for myself too ^-^ so we have another matching item, in addition to our top and necklace) the last box is another piece of the jewelry i've got for kia for matching purposes.
then while preparing for teachers' day gifts, i.e. shredding pink colored paper, i cut myself >.<
the little cut on my finger. it's stopped bleeding already.. just that there's this mark. thank goodness my recital's over =/
-------------------
ok, i'll just blog abt today as well since i'm too lazy to do another post in blogger.
today's alright. there's teachers' day celebration in school and it was pretty interesting. oh wells, in the end they didn't use the songs i wrote for teachers' day... so i'll just release my lyrics. should anyone use it for any purpose, please credit me instead of yourself.
Thank you, teachers – Angela Evangeline Kwan

Thank you, thank you teachers
For all those things that you have done

You praised our good deeds and corrected our vice
Your teachings we’ll remember even when we part
So we say

Just do it – Angela Evangeline Kwan
Trust in yourself, have a lil faith
Don’t even think that you’ll fail

Don’t even start to run

It’s what you can do
Don’t put yourself down ‘cause you have the
Power in you, brave the weather
Rain or shine, spring or fall
Don’t forget to give your all
Don’t be negative, trust that all things
Are possible, keep believing

If you believe, you can shine too
Just like a star in the sky
Always shining bright
Be a guiding light

Power in you, brave the weather
Rain or shine, spring or fall
Don’t forget to give your all
Don’t be negative, trust that all things

haha~ i think they're pretty good.
ok, then had vienna trip practice which went pretty ok.. i guess? need to practise more.
yups then went out with my friends. i feel so bad that rad waited for me after teachers' day celebration ended =/ but thanks~ yups, so rad, me, kia, theo, darren, lichen, ryan, yunhui, john and cheng went ljs for lunch.. had a bit only cos i wasn't hungry. then we (theo, kia, cheng, rad and i) went for movies. met daniel at cathay to get tics for the propsal at 510pm. and we had like 2 hrs before the movie so we went to get gifts for the birthday ppl.
it was pretty interesting.. the shopping, i meant. rad and i headed the diaso, theo and cheng to times and kia and daniel went carrefour to get food. then we all went to comics connection and then the guys went to times so kia and i went to look for something nice in those more feminine shops. so we went into girls to look at the accessories. then rad called to ask us where we were so i said "we're at girls, level 3, beside ms whatever and this scrapbook store and near thai express." so cheng and rad came to look for us girls. and they found the store, stood at the boundary of the shop and the rest of the mall, stunned for a moment and then said "we'll wait for you outside". haha~ that was so hilarious. kia and i couldn't help laughing at their expression =p haha~ *after 5 mins of laughter*
then we headed to precious thots to look at stuff and grabbed a cookie from subway before meeting up with everyone else and headed back to cathay to watch the movie. the movie's great =) it's really romantic and heartwarming, at least for me. i couldn't help laughing at the funny parts and crying at all those touching parts >.< and thankfully i was sitting beside someone kind enough to explain stuff to me.. cos there's this part which i didn't really understand till someone explained it to me. yea.. haha~ but overall, i'll give the movie 9 out of 10? cos p.s. i love you is still my favourite =)
then dinner at kopitiam. chatted with kia and all.. then we walked ard before heading home =x yups.
on a different note: yay~ gel is going to watch another movie with someone another time. yay~
*yawns* kinda tired but i'll like to do some stuff first before i sleep. gonna go out tmr with ron, nes, rad and theo.. hehe~ =p

hey hey~
ben had art critic ytd, so was supposed to help him set up his photos but i didn't >.< hehe~ sorry =x cos i went over to lux's studio and swept the art room cos it was in a mess.. yups, art critic was interesting, listening to ppl's comments cos i'm no arty-arty person.. so i only know how to stand and appreciate. like yiwei's shots of flowers were really pretty cos it captures the life in the dull japanese houses =) shenrong's pic of rose and the one on the girl in the corner were really good too =) i also like ben's concept on nature. really innovative~ hena's pics of bugs were not tasty-looking though it's on food but it really grabs attention. lux had his corset piercing pic which looks nice but seems to be hurting the girl.. also like this snail one though it was supposedly last minute. very creative~
then i went to jurong point with chua. went shopping and bought some stuff. we had dinner at mos burger (my choice cos i really like their teriyaki chicken burger). but it wasn't that pleasant a dinner cos the waitress/cashier person made 3 boo-boos. first, she counted wrongly cos we ordered 2 sets so it's $13.50 in total, but she only deducted one set.. so it became $13.75. next, she collected $50.05 from me and return me $36.20. so we pointed out and she gave me back $36.50 but i still lost the 5 cents which she didn't return. nvm, consider it a donation ba. then our burgers arrived. they were teriyaki burgers which had beef instead of the teriyaki CHICKEN burger. but we were both to annoyed to even change to another one.. oh wells. the only redeeming point is that the fries are good =) then we went to the arcade and played 6 games of para-para in total =) chua danced well and she said i danced well but i think i must be possessed or something cos i don't dance that well actually...
yups so moving on to today... just had a frisbee match with yunhui (ha! ladies first) ben, john, wc, ryan, jack, shawn, kenneth and 'ron. they were all late >.< cos they said meet at 730 but some ppl overslept and woke up at 8... but we played will 9+, 10 like that. cos it got sunny...
so here's some pics of ytd and today =)
bought this lovely tiaras for the seniors' prom
this card is super cute so i HAD to get one for myself and one for ben.. it reads "love begins with us" =)
gifts from kiakia when she came back from japan: a cute pink rabbit handphone strap and a pokemon magnet ^-^
my first and only pink yukata =) the darker pink is the obi (the thing you tie) and the light pink has diff sakura patterns. that's the robe thingy..
sshhh.. i didn't tell kia this but i took a sneak shot of her when she's watching house..
