nerdy

ok, so the boyfriend's all packed up to battle his exams,

while i am here about to surrender to my grades,

that are to be released soon.

so the wait is long and i must as well do something that i like,

and its such irony, i realized.

social science, is a course about reading

and more reading, and endless readings,

that finishing them would be too faraway a price for most.

they never fail to make me wanna throw them out,

but guess what,

i'm so glued to reading now while i wait for love to finish his exams

that i have forgotten that TV used to be my best friend,

and Google and Facebook used to be an everyday guest.

i guess, at the end of the day, i love reading,

be it boring academic papers,

or long long biographies,

or must-read classics,

or interesting novels,

i love them all,

just the same.

***

talking about reading,

it reminds me that i wanna get a new pair of specs soon!

i'm wearing a half-brimmed black specs,

i think want to get a full-brimmed black specs.

nerdy to the max, but i believe,

i'll still look chic in them!

marshmallow

plain marshmallows,

chocolate-filled marshmallows,

grape flavoured marshmallows,

all these are the common flavours of marshmallows

that we can check out at the counter.

but, what about lemon-filled marshmallows?!?!

oishiiiiii!!!

i happened to chanced by a pack of

lemon-filled marshmallows

while shopping with Ms Jean at Muji today.

gosh! its awesome!

the light refreshing taste of lemon first tint my mouth

as my tongue twirl itself around the little sponge of joy,

then, with a light squeeze on the pale yellow marsh,

woots, lemon fillings oozed out and

floods my mouth with endless refreshing taste of lemon!

oh such divine lemon marshmallows!!!!

only for $1.90 at MUJI!!!

get them now!!!

fast-forward in time

yesterday, i had my plans changed 5-6 times, i was so pissed off, but thanks to my lovely one, he never fails to paint a beautiful smile on my face. because the person who has finished all her exams has the right to being a little high, a little less sane than normal, i was back to being my hysteric self once again. in the car on the way home, i think i must be too happy or something, i ended up singing ‘贺新年' like nobody's business. i know he doesn't like hearing it, because his exams aren't over yet and here i am fast-forwarding time to next year. but nonetheless, he still sang along to add into the fun. anyway, he seems to love the song more than me now and he is singing them even in the messages he send me! so here's the lyrics for you:

賀新年　祝新年　新年哪　年連年　爆竹聲聲催人想幼年 
賀新年　祝新年　新年哪　年連年　歲月悠悠光陰如箭 
回首往事如煙　痛苦辛酸　寄望從今萬事如願 
賀新年　祝新年　新年哪　年連年　願大家都過個太平年

you know, i think its just a Christmas thing for me. every time the Christmas bells begin to ring, i dream of lunar new year's coming, and i singing new year songs instead of Christmas carols.

hope-full

this is one word that is so powerful

that i need it so badly now!

i need so see some hope,

i am feeling so hope-less inside.

save me oh Lord,

help me to trust and keep faith in You,

Please!!!

learning.studying.holidays

it officially the end of my fateful year 3 semester 1. come to think of it, time flies.

learning... ...

company law, its so interesting to learn how companies function, learn about things that used to riddle my so non-business inclined brain like stocks, shares, charges, etc. i really love company law, its so interesting! company is no longer just a term i would think of like before anymore. it has become more like a new friend to me.

ethics was challenging, so brain-teasing it makes me want to pull out my hair and cry. its just so weird to start thinking about ethical dilemmas when i am day-dreaming. i dont think i really like ethics so much, but it just surprises me how they suddenly come into my mind and steal a moment of my time to ponder about them.

trade law, the first half was full of learning new knowledge about private international law, but the second, i think it was a waste of time.

technology and world change, well its a university core. i still dont understand why do i have to study it even till now that i am done with the module. but i think it helps me to understand how the world progressed and function over its long history.

studying... ...

studying, its such a chore, but pasting post-it notes to flag my notes and articles like crazy definitely added a tint of colour to the grey studying routines.

at the end of the day, which student wont want their effort to mark up to the grades they get?

holidays... ...

hello holidays!!! i am in such a love-hate relationship with you! i love you because you mean freedom, but i hate you because, you make me waste time like water running from the tap.

this might just be a longest winter holiday that i am having, but i am not going to look for an internship to keep myself occupied. all i want to do, is spend lots of time here with the people who love me, and whom i love, doing crazy yet memorable stuff together and treasuring every moment i can spend with them now.

actually, i love learning, its so fun, provided its without the studying.

your smile

these few days,

blue is the colour of the air we breathe in.

quietness is the language we speak in.

i forgot how your smile looked like,

i forgot how i felt so fuzzy in your arms,

i looked at the photos that fills my album,

i see you smile again,

i see myself smile again,

bolted back into reality,

purple is the colour that fills my air,

its red, mixed with blue.

uncertainty is the language we speak.

i want to see you smile again,

i want to smile again.

overheard - head and neck

Mr. Panda: Baby, now that I’m your husband, I’m officially the Head of this unit, so you have to listen and do what I tell you, ok?

Mrs. Princess Panda: Sure, ok! *beams*

Mr. Panda: *suspicious*

Mrs. PP: You can be the Head no problem. And I can be the Neck! (:

Mr. P: *blinks at me*

Mrs. PP: So you see, I’ll be right below you…but I will determine your course. *smirk*

Mr. P: …….!!!!

Mrs. PP: *feeling pleased with myself*

Mr. P: *long pause* You know baby, people never talk about slitting the head do they? It’s always ‘slitting the throat/neck’. And do you know why?

Mrs. PP: *glare at Mr. Panda*

Mr. P: *pats my bristling head tenderly*….It’s because when you slit the neck, the head dies. Just like if anything happens to you, I’m finished.

Mrs. PP: *melts* Awww….ok lah, you can determine our course too….*big hugs*

And THIS is how Mr. Panda rules the roost! (;

掌纹-曹格

在我的手心你落下的眼泪很冰

晶莹的泪滴轻轻滑过我的一生

春去春又回我走过的孤独很

难忘那一刻你走进生命的瞬间

我不信命我信爱情是没有理由

悲欢的注定在我的掌纹中你在那里

如此的清晰没有输赢你是我的命

在我的手心你落下的眼泪很冰

晶莹的泪滴轻轻滑过我的一生

春去春又回我走过的孤独很黑

难忘那一刻你走进生命的瞬间

我不信命我信爱情是没有理由

悲欢的注定在我的掌纹中你在那里

如此的清晰没有输赢你是我的命

我不信命

我信命中你给的每个考验和奇迹

在我的掌纹中安身立命是否愿意

张开手你回应

我不信命我不信命我只信你

iphone

(a conversation with my little nephew)

'do you have games inside?'

'no'

'aunt, next time when you grow up,

you must get an iphone,

so that you can download and play games!'

thats the iphone generation.

(fyi) little David is 4 this yr

KOI

if you saw the video i shared on facebook,

it seems like KOI is bad,

or rather, bubble tea is bad in general.

so they shrunk things up

and here's what is essentially inside your bbtea :

creamer,

sugar syrup,

flavour essence,

potato/sago flour,

and water.

effects of drinking too much bbtea:

narrowing of arteries,

cancer.

immediate problem of drinking bbtea:

obesity!

so moral of the story?

be like the little Danbo,
