HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2009 is here! Wow! (:

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. =_=

Edit//

Hehe. Yay, changed the grade! :D

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!

<3

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! ((:

@_@!!!

BOO.

All the materials I have to read for Race, Class and Gender exam...



All double paged ok!!! Wa lao... royally screwed. Don't tell me that doesn't seem like a lot, I'll scream at you. :P

Interesting doodle...
