welcome welcome! my first ever post on my own weblog, wow! as you can see i am easily pleased and exciteable. And I also don't check my spelling, so don't think i'm dumb if i spell something really obvious wrong. Although what you think of me will depend on who you are, but let me just say now that nobody's perfect, ok?
A little introduction, i think is in order, although it may not end up as being little by the time i'm finished, as i tend to ramble alot. I am a british born chinese female, 26, god, i still can't believe i'm 26, i have to keep reminding myself. i'll probably carry on not accepting it until i'm 27 (aaarh freeak!!) I was born in North-West London, (Northwick park hospital, for those who know the area), and have lived here pretty much most of my life. I did live for about 7 years in Hong Kong pre-11 years old, but that was a lifetime ago. I speak a little cantonese, but english is my first language, even though I have been told on various occassions that I have an american or an australian accent. The american one is easier to explain, I used to go to an american school when I was in HK. The aussie one? who knows. maybe its in anticipation of when I eventually go there, which'll be not too far in the distant future me hopes. Otherwise I would say I have a pretty public school londoner accent, which in itself has been made fun of, so there's just no pleasing anyone. Anyway to cut a long story short, after year upon year of traumatic state school education, two years of private school, three years of uni (did pharmacy [parental pressure]), one year of pre-registration training (which was particularly stressful), i became a pharmacist, for my sins. And because I always wanted to, I am now doing a PhD - in Pharmacognosy (go look it up), and should hopefully wrap up my three years of labwork in 8 months time. I have to confess, the stress hasn't kicked in yet, although i must be in denial.
I am currently doing Kung Fu, with the Zhuan Shu Kuan association, and our Sifu is a kick ass instructor who teaches us really kick ass stuff including Kung Fu, Chinese boxing and Kickboxing. I've only been doing it for a year, so i'm not Michelle Kwan, but I love it.
I am also quite attatched to the tv, and avidily watch ER, Sex and the City, Ally McBeal, X-files, stuff like that. Recently I have become engrossed in the plotline in Hollyoaks. This was quite unintentional, it started off with sunday morning lie-ins, with the tv automatically on, and as it turned out Hollyoaks was the only watcheable thing on, and not only that, it's on for two hours, so before you know it, you're sucked in, and you know every dirty little secret of every character.
I am also a book reader, although i will be doing no impressing of the literary boffs, as i pretty much only read pulp, and terry pratchett (yeah, great stuff). Although i do occassionally read these book prize winners, but quite often find myself unimpressed. So far books I can recommend are The Beach, and White Teeth (Zadie Smith). Read into that what you will.
I also do a bit of a websurfing, i'm not hardcore. when I first started looking around, I encountered scores of depressing, sad little weblogs/websites, but now only stick to three that I check up on an almost daily basis - voxmachina by the excellent zannah, Jish.nu by lovely Jish, and Little Yellow Different by Ernie, who's just in a class of his own. And I have looked around for others, really, but these are the only three that stick. The thing about these guys, is that they're all american/canadian, and it would be nice to read stuff by someone on this side of the pond. And also, I think I have something. Something, as in, hey, I can do this, I have something to say, and I think I'd like to share as well, y'know? You must know, there are millions of bloggers out there.
So, that's me. my name's sharon, by the way. That's my real name, but being british, i'd like to withold my last name, you understand. :)
