Enough is enough

My mind is going round in circles,
I want to shed away from reality,
It's not long to go,
But I want it all to stop now.

Day 7: 30 Day Challenge

Day 7: Favourite Movies

I have a few, how can you decide on just ONE movie? There are just too many choices to pin point to one. Here are my favourites:


Toy Story 3
Just awwwwwwwwwwww! LOVED it! Yes i cried! I want to watch it again!!


King's Speech
Need I say more? So touching and brilliant!

Inception
I was confused as hell when watching this movie but it caught my attention. I kept questioning myself and as confusing it was the effects were brilliant! I watched it twice and was definately worth it!



Confessions of a Shopaholic
I absolutely ADORE this film! I have watched it at least 4 times and it never bores me. I love the clothes, the humour and the character itself. The love story is so sweet too! Ahh I love romcoms!

What are your all time favourite movies??

Much Love,

Day 6: 30 Day Challenge


Day 6: A picture of something that makes you happy

Im really annoyed I couldn't the picture I was originally going to use. Ive searched through all my pictures and it's no where to be seen. I hate when you
look for something you never find it but then it magically appears again.


This picture reminds me of the good old days in secondary school! When fun was the only word in the dictionary and stress was non existent. Missing those days!

Much Love,

Day 5: 30 Day Challenge

I am uber late with this post, i am going to try and catch up with all my challenges though it depicts the point of the challenge. Im sorry but I have realised I have neglected my blog during exam season and I really want to get back into it.

Day 5: A song that matches your mood

I am loving this song at the moment


It is a song I am loving but not a song to match my mood. Therefore this would be more appropriate


Feeling absolutely meh after my second exam. I know it is petty to feel awful after an exam because it has happened but I cant control my feelings. Just want to snuggle under a blanket and escape from the real world. I hate exams.

Hope you enjoy the songs! :)

Much Love,

Chu xx

Food Cravings


Saw this picture on an msn news article and I am absolutely craving for this now, at 3:12am at night. YES! I want to be fat with my midnight snacks.

I just want a hearty meal which makes me feel satisfied.
I miss home food. I hate revision. I hate being a student!

Just look at that bowl of noodles! YUM

p.s I will blog my 30 day challenge. Just uber busy. Sorry for the delay :(

Much Love,

Day 3: 30 Day Challenge

Day 3: Your First Love

I have never been in love nor had a boyfriend before. So it pretty deprives the point of this post but I won't end it there. Hopefully you can get to know me more.

It has never bothered me that I haven't had a boyfriend before. I have been asked out by a few people so I at least know there isn't anything wrong with me LOL. I guess I am a person for serious relationships. In my mind if I am to be in a relationship I would look for someone who I can see myself last with and not get bored. I get bored pretty easily and the thought of being around the same ONE person all the time would bore me. I know everyone is different and maybe I am only saying this because I havent been in a relationship but I don't see the point in saying yes to someone if I don't see myself liking them long term.

I am a picky person but I believe good things come to those who wait. There's no rush. Besides I have uni work and my future life to keep me occupied with.

I actually love my single life because im living life with no limits at the moment and I love the freedom. Being around friends and family who I dearly love is enough for me right now :)

How were your first loves? Did they work out? And if you're single too, what do you love most about it?

Much Love,

Chu xx

Day 2: 30 Day Challenge

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name

Well I don't think there is much significance to my blog name - The stories beneath the Sand.

I guess when I came up with the name I wanted it to be meaningful and personify my blog. I aim for my blog to gather my daily life whether it is happy or sad. A blog to illustrate my thoughts and interests for others to read. Yet at the same time building up stories with inner and deeper thoughts which shape the person I am.

However I am never fully satisfied and with my lack of english vocabulary I have already thought about changing my blog name. This will not commence till after May and whether I have grown attached to the name.

As you can see I am pretty indecisive.

Thanks for reading!!

Much Love,

Chu xx

Day 1: 30 Day Challenge

Day 1: Introduce, recent picture of yourself, 15 interesting facts

So here is goes-

Hello everyone!! My name is Christine and I am a twenty year old blogger from London. This is actually my second blog, I had one on livejournal when I was roughly 13 till about 17. What I blogged, I have no clue. It makes me cringe when I read the more recent ones on my old blog.

Hopefully this blog will be far more interesting and WELCOME to everyone who reads my blog and I hope you enjoy it! :)

Recent Picture of myself (actually this was taken in feb)

My hair is just a little different now.

15 Interesting Facts....I'll prefer it to be called random facts:

Im not a very interesting person to be honest lol.

1 - I study Civil Engineering which I guess is a rare subject for a girl.

2 - I have an obsession with checking my emails even though I know it was only 20 minutes ago I refreshed the page. I can check my emails up to eight times a day. Weird I know.

3 - I use to sleep at 3am as a kid and as a result I love staying up late.

4 - Studied in an all girls secondary school and wasn't at all interested in boys. Was actually too shy to speak to one.

5 - Always took the piss out of my teachers in 6th form, glad I never got into trouble for that.

6 - Almost died when the ceiling fell down.

7 - I cut my beautiful long hair once upon a time and is longingly trying to grow it back.

8 - My parents own a Chinese Takeaway (surprise surprise) and yes it was child labour and I had to break eggs and take orders.

9 - I have trekked the Great of Wall of China (yes I aware I am chinese lol) and Snowdonia in Wales.

10 - I want to trek Killimanjaro one day, even though I may die LOL.

11 - I take ice skating lessons.

12 - I can now finally touch my toes.

13 - I have bad and I mean BAD co-ordination skills.

14 - I get confused with my left and right.

15 - I still want to learn to drive. :)

Well I hope that entertained you and hopefully made you laugh. I hope I have numbered correctly, very common for me to make a mistake!

Thanks for reading!!

Much Love,

Chu xx
