我踩到柠檬了！
Went roller blading today... My legs so sore now! >0< Correct me if I'm wrong, but roller blading/ice skating seems to be the only type of exercise that uses the inner muscles of the thighs? Dead tired.
Christmas is so so so near! I don't recall doing anything special for Christmas, ever. Except going shopping for little gifts. I'm not exactly excited but Adela is really anticipating Christmas so I'm getting a little affected, she made me sing and play Christmas songs and all :P
I completely forgot about checking my grades until I saw Joanne Loh's post. =_=

Uh...
I woke up at 9 am today. Ok correction I was 'forced' out of bed this morning cause Adela (the 9-year-old girl) came to my bed (hers actually) and woke me up... Sorry if I don't make a lot of sense :p
Random things today...
Webkinz is the "in" thing with kids nowadays. Neopets? What's that? ): I'm actually kinda sad! Neopets is pretty classic... oh well.
Apex, North Carolina is too warm for my Ugg boots.
I still remember how to play 不能说的秘密斗琴第二首, although it took me a while to retrieve finger memory... And I kinda miss playing the piano! Surprise, surprise.
Made tambourines with paper plates today. Colored them with acrylic paint and whatnot... When was the last time I did arts and crafts? -_-
Went Christmas shopping, kinda. Spent an hour with Adela hunting for Christmas gifts, so I didn't get to shop for clothes! Sighhhh. I guess it's a good thing, stopped me from spending too much money or making my luggage explode.
And... I forgot what I wanted to say :P
Tired! Ciao!

Childhood fantasies...
It's kinda funny how some of my childhood fantasies are only coming true when I'm 18. I'm now living in a house that's fully carpeted. I'm sleeping on the top of a bunk bed with a study table underneath. There're rose trims on the walls. The toilets are decorated with neon stars and planets and what not, the shower curtain is double layered with mashimaro prints. Uhh. All very very dream-like and fluffy and cute except that I'm the wrong age (and size)!
Climbing up to my bed is like... ughhhh :P
The family has a daughter in 4th grade and a newborn baby boy. The baby actually doesn't cry that much and I don't really need to entertain him. The little girl though is sticking to me the moment I'm awake. We played monopoly, made invisible ink, tried to french braid our hair and failed, played piano and viola (her, not me), and wii and what not. And she told me to wake up earlier in the mornings so she can play with me, omg :P Thankfully it's holidays for her too so I don't have to tutor her math and chinese... yet.
Yeah. So I'm quite tired... yawnn.

I'm in North Carolina!
Wahooooo!
Haha wow, I'm so beat. And quite sleepy, probably cause the house is so quiet (got newborn baby!)
Everything went quite smoothly, except that I refound my hatred for stairs. Oh and something very suay happened! Had to go through security check, and I was carrying one bag, plus one laptop. Have to take off shoes (I was wearing Ugg, bad choice), jacket and scarf. Then my hand accidentally slipped and my laptop's corner smashed my middle toe. wtfveryPAIN. And then I had to wobble since then... damn pain. My toe's now swollen to twice its size, it's purple and hard and hurtslikeshit. I'm not going to show you pictures unless you request so... :P It's very gross lah. Sigh.
Ok ok, too tired to blog le. My brain refuses to work :P
Two more pictures from this morning! It was sunny <3

It snowed!!
Wow. I'm never trusting the weather report again.
It's winter wonderland! Although the snow isn't really thick and all, but I'm pretty happy! And my UGG boots and rain/snow boots arrived as well! I know you're thinking... what a spoilt brat! :P I kinda think so too but seriously, my boots got all soaked this morning and it wasn't pleasant at all.
Surprisingly it isn't so cold... The rain is annoying, but it doesn't feel as cold as Shanghai did last year.
It still hasn't really hit me yet that the year is going to be over soon!
But anyway, I've officially ended my semester now! Last exam, DONE! Sort of screwed it up a little bit but oh well...
Pictures pictures! I just realized the sky's color is rather like Shanghai as in grey and ugly. = = Sorry some of the pictures are blurry cause I was walking and quickly snapping them, it's not nice to walk in soaked boots ok :P
It's so quiet and serene.
My winter wonderland.
But who do I share it with?
I'm reminded on the day our chem class carried giant beakers and collected snow on the SSIS field. Frozen hands. Wide smiles. Joyous jumps. Childish snowball fights. Happy times. (:
And I bought some textbooks... Sigh. Ridiculously expensive. There're buybacks but they pay really little. At least I can exchange texts with other communication majors!
Okay I have to shower, then do my laundry and finish packing!

Just one more...
Eh, I'm so lazy to blog but it's been a while leh!
Just one more exam tomorrow and I'm free free free! Wahaha!
Did some packing, about 70% done? Super heavy lugguage... how am I gonna take the T ah? o.O Still need to do laundry tomorrow and get rid of perishable items yadda yadda... I really hope I don't leave important things behind... >0<
Watched the movie "300" yesterday night in friend's room, about King Leonidas leading 300 Spartan soldiers against Persians. Yeah it's a pretty old movie. Very morbid and gross at certain parts... 很MAN的电影。The thing that struck me as ironic is that it's so historically erroneous. I mean... Greeks were the one who owned slaves and Persia was the country that slaves escaped to... Oh well :P
I don't know if it's luckily or unluckily, there'll be heavy snow in Boston on Friday, the day after I leave! So I won't be getting a white christmas in Boston this year! On 25th I'll be at South Carolina Myrtle beach, lol! Very interesting.
By the way, I've always pronounced "interesting" as in-truh-sting, but a lot of people here say in-ter-uh-sting. Like Brits pronounce "lieutenant" as lef-ten-uhnt. I personally think loo-ten-uhnt makes a lot more sense but lef-ten-uhnt sounds more cool? :D
Ok ok, enough bullshitting! Happy Holidays everyone! ((:

Christmas Package! <3
My package from Shanghai finally arrives! Took like forever... but at least it came before winter break!
Bloody 20kg... stupid stairs... but it's all worth it!!
Man, my mom is like a packing genius. Clothes, pants, coats, stockings, boots, shoes, furry slippers, gloves, scarves, hats, bags, and other 乱七八糟的东西... !!!! @_@
So very very very very touched! Thanks mom! Best Christmas present I can ever get. XD
But then... now I have to keep all these stuff in my tiny room! Headache. x_x
The thought of having to pack EVERYTHING when summer comes is just horrific.
...
Oh well. I have boots now, so happy! One pair of knee-length leather tall boots, two pairs of chunky short boots, one pair of short furry warm boots!! Wow, from 0 pairs to 4, pretty insane... but totally made my day! Now that I'm armed with boots, stockings, scarves, hats and gloves, I feel much more prepared for winter! Hehehe :D
How I wish I can have a catalog of everything I own and I can just browse through the pictures, click on it and the item will magically appear before my eyes! WAHAHA. Ok, completely day dreaming, but wouldn't that be nice? Sometimes I'll totally forget that I own this particular piece of clothing, or I simply can't find what I want, which gets really annoying... I want a walk-in closet! Ganbatte!! >0<
为walk-in closet而努力工作!! Wonder what my future boss will say about that :P
Oh and I won't be in Boston during winter break! Change of plans, I'm going to North Carolina! XD
---
Edit// My playlist thing is annoying me like anything... some of the links keep failing! WHY! So frustrating!! GRR. I wanna change the music player... any suggestions?
Oh! And there's free coffee available during exam period... hahaha so cute! I'm not that big a fan of coffee though, oh well. XD

8 Dec 2008
Woohoo!
I just officially ended my last day of school for Fall 08! :D
Well actually I don't feel any different but time passes so fast. I'd probably miss my classes, but sadly I can't do anything about that. I can only hope that classes for next semester would be fun too.
It apparently snowed last night, cause this morning there were some pathetic patches of snow and ice. It's freezing today. -8°C! Wa lao... But tomorrow it's warmer again... always alternating between warm and cold, weird weird weather.
I should probably say something sentimental or profound or philosophical but my brain is slipping into lazy mood already so... yeah. Wish me luck for my finals! :D

Almost there...
Second to last day of class!
Starting study break on next Wed is as ridiculous as SSIS reopening school on like a Thurs... It just doesn't make sense lah! :P I wish I could skip my classes on Mon, but can't... SIGH.
Was lying on the bed this morning after my alarm clock rang, thinking to myself: why do I have to wake up so early to go to class and brave the -5 temperature outside?! Very nearly went back to sleep... -_-||
I realized that as the semester progress, I tend to get more and more lethargic and slip a little. I think I screwed up Public Speaking. Boo. But I'm not going to think about all that at least for today! My brain just wants to stop thinking. Yep.
---
让过去都成了纪念
就像在手心长出了一块死去的茧
麻痹了痛的感觉
却还是留在那边
陪着我到未来继续寻找
下个永远
希望醒来以后
就是全新一个人
日日夜夜不再为爱付出那么深
希望可以忘了你是我最爱的人
能像你一样推开大门就去爱别人

Happy 18th Birthday Tau Herng! Wow, time flies! I'm not nearly as entertaining as Joanne Loh, pai seh hor! :P
I feel old! XD
My Writing Seminar portfolio is driving me nuts. Up the wall. Whatever. +0+
So tired I don't even feel like blogging.
It was a random thought, but I suddenly realized that even though I think lyrics are important to a song, if there wasn't a good melody in the first place, I wouldn't have noticed the lyrics?
---
不知不觉又过了几天
我想我习惯了忽略
去忽略没你的时间
不近不远走在谁身边
我想我适应了一切
这一切没你的时间
某条路某条街 某首歌某间店
某种熟悉但如今 却刺眼
不碰触不跨越 为自己留一些 安全界线
谁都以为不听不看 也就没感觉
一转身 才发现 空气里面
依旧飘散着记忆的气味
谁有所谓或无所谓 也不能改变
原来是我 在爱上你的那瞬间
就困在围墙里面
I feel old! XD

I'm late!! But happy birthday yali!! (: 终于18岁了耶!

I'm STRESSEDDDDDDDD.
The next two to three weeks are going to be very, very hectic!! Writing Seminar Portfolios due, essays to write and rewrite, and lots of revision to do!
At least I'm completely done with Public Speaking. Finished my last speech today and already turned in my term paper so that's one class off my shoulder.
I'm so screwed for Writing Seminar though... 3 major essays to be perfected, but my third one deserves to be thrown into the paper shredder. Portfolio due next Thursday!!! TAT
I just realized we only start study break next Wed, means only two days of classes off, which isn't enough at all! How how how... 完蛋了!
Going to register for spring classes in about 7 minutes. Please please let me get the classes I want! My perfect schedule is already screwed, hopefully Plan B works...
I'm running completely on adrenaline now. I realized that I'm extra hyper and talkative when I'm on adrenaline, which is kinda interesting and scary at the same time.
Yeah. I'm so rambling.
---
Update:
Okay. Here's my tentative schedule for Spring...
Yeah you can gloat now. I have classes every single day! No more sleep-ins on weekdays... Obviously I don't love my schedule. Damn those people who took all the Research Methods and Literatures of the World classes! :P Boo.
Why am I still taking Chinese? Cause it's a one year thing lah! Help my GPA too.
Elements of Dance all filled too, so I'm stuck with music. How come I foresee myself having a hard time during Spring? )):
