Tremble, little lion man

Hi again! So, probably the last time that I'm gonna post, before school starts again on Monday.

Anyway, I gave in and finally jumped onto the formspring bandwagon. Ask me something at http://formspring.me/chlotinder. Please, do not ask about the username, it was a last resort, haha :-) But yes, ask me lots of questions please!

Also, some news is that my holiday to Chicago and NYC is booked for the summer! We will be going from 7th August to 22nd August - we're gonna spend most of the time in Chicago first and then four days in NYC. Even though it's still like six months away, I'm unbelievably excited to be spending summer in a place where the sun actually shines! The weather in England is just so cold and horrible, but I'm just grateful that it's not snowing. So, yeah, that's very exciting. :-)


I got the March 2010 issue of Vogue, purely for Alexa. Whilst the photos were great, I felt that the article was really lacking in something. It was just all about denim! Even though I live in my jeans a bit too much, I just didn't particularly enjoy the article. Nevertheless, I still liked it and I still love Alexa!

And look at that place? Doesn't it look so appealing at the moment?

I found these randomly on some sites and blogs, so apologies if they're yours.

Anyway, yeah, sooo ask me questions on Formspring or whatnot. And I might come back and add some pictures of LFW. Oh yeah, the title of this post is a line from the song, 'Little Lion Man', by this brilliant band called Mumford & Sons. Check them out!
For now, have a great weekend, or what's left of it anyway, and happy blogging!

No one laughs at God in a hospital

So I've had a fairly busy half term, which is ironic as it's the week when I have most of my work to do. But, it can't be helped I guess. 

Basically, it was Chinese New Year/Valentine's Day on Sunday, so some family on my mum's side came round and we had food and stuff, which was good. And then, after they had gone, we went to a family friends' house and it was good fun, as my Chinese friends were there and I had a really good day. I also got £50 altogether from that day (£30 from my uncle and then £20 from friends of family) in the form of some red packets, which was fantastic.

Then Monday was a lazy day, trying to catch up on work and what not, I managed to finish my English commentary thing, so that was lucky, but I still have a ton of revision to do!
Then, yesterday (Tuesday), I went, with my sister, to get my hair cut. It's not a very drastic cut, I just got lots more layers and a bit cut off, as my hair's really thick. That was about it, as well as a shorter fringe. Anyway, after that, we went home and then got ready to go out to Merry Hill. I didn't see much that I liked, but I got an Accessorize sparrow necklace, which is really cute and I'm wearing it right now, actually. That was virtually free, as I had a £5 voucher from a Christmas present :) And then my sister, Christy, got a new school bag from Schuh for £30, a dress from Gap sale for £10 and some sparrow earrings for £4.

After this, we went to have dinner with my dad's side of the family, for Chinese New Year. I had a good time here as well, seeing my cousins for the first time in like four years, haha. That was good fun and then we received even more Chinese New Year money, which was great haha. :-)

Then today, I just chilled out and didn't do much! I managed to get my History essay done and my sister and I also sorted out all our clothes and stuff, which was good! Below are some pictures of me and my sister and our clothes!

Our wardrobe! We need a bigger one!

But yes, it was a fun packed few days, but now I desperately need to get my sleeping pattern back to normal as school is approaching, slowly but surely. Gah, I'm not looking forward to it. At all.


Anywho, have a great rest of the week. I'll be sure to post again about some exciting news and some really nice photos that I've found on the internet recently and never got round to posting.

Half term

Hey! I'm really getting the knack of posting more, I dunno why, haha. Whatever the reason, I'm liking it!

Ummm, so it's half term and basically, gonna get a hair cut on Tuesday, it's not gonna be a very drastic change, just a trim and more layers. I'm also going to a belated Chinese New Year dinner with grandparents that day too.

Anyway, half term started off really well yesterday, as I went to my friend, Abi's house after school with my sister, Abi and another friend, Lucy. We all had a really nice time, eating and stuff. Then we took Abi's dog, Sophie, for a walk and someone's bright idea was to dress up. So that's what we did. My sister, Christy, opted for a cool black hat and a mask, Lucy chose a bright, chunky-knit cardigan and a horse prop thing, Abi went all out with her bright pink polka dot dressing gown, a belt, about four Scouts scarves, wellies and beret! I played it fairly safe with a British flag and my little, fluffy dog toy on a lead! I also borrowed Abi's aaaaawesome Doc's, which are amazing and I want them! Anyway, it was a rather humorous outing and after waving to cars passing by, we actually got a beep! This made my day, haha!

We had a really good time and then after that, we walked back to Abi's and then ate some more food, chatted for a while and got on with making our music videos! After many failed attempts (where Abi accidentally deleted the video and one time, Christy didn't press the record button so we weren't actually recording), we finally got a few pleasing results. There's a couple for Facebook, I reckon. Also cue much photo taking, etc. and then it was time for makeovers!

Makeovers are very much an integral part of girls and their little sleepovers or going to each others' houses and we are not an exception! No matter how old we get, haha.
After that, we proceeded with dinner, which included some amazing lasagna, pizza, garlic bread, salad and stuff, so it was really good. 20 minutes break and we were ready for pudding which consisted of various types of ice cream (Mackies for me!) and chocolate bars, it was bliss. Here are some photos:

It was a great way to start the holidays! Anyway, it's gone half past three now and I'm gonna knuckle down on some reading, and stuff. Have a great weekend!
