Let me say this here first:

I'M GOING TO JAPAN!!

Yep - It's confirmed: I'm going for sure! So I'm just gonna bask in the excitement before thinking about the logistics. =/ Now I really understand how my friend felt when she was preparing for her exchange. And I'm only going for at most 2 weeks! Signing up for it and preparing for it are really 2 totally different things! -.- And I've damn little time to prepare after my exams (since I'll be flying off 2 days after) so I guess I better get started on part of it soon. Blehs.

Anyways. On to other happy stuff. Met up with the girlies on Sat night. As usual, I enjoyed myself quite a bit catching up and all. We really, really have to do this more often! I'm looking forward to our year end date yeah (((:

Some pics!

Our drinks and food.



Group pic! And I realised I forgot to take a proper pic with Mag. Oh wells.

Yep, that'll be all for now. Tata! ((:

今天突然心血来潮想用华文来写,而且也其实是蛮想 blog 的,但面对这荧幕时,脑袋却一片空白。

不知怎么的,身边的朋友好像一个一个都要谈恋爱了。虽说不上是妒嫉,却感到丝毫的小羡慕。谁不想被呵护被关怀呢?但本人不久前才刚经过惨痛的经历,已下定决心在短时间内不谈恋爱。真的是一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳!而每当遇到好一段时间没见面的朋友时,在互相 update 的当儿,又得长篇大论地重从头解释为什么分手了之类的话,真得有点累了。或许本人应该贴大字报或登报纸向全世界宣布我已重新恢复自由身了!

绕了一大圈又回到一个人的世界真的没什么大不了的。地球不会因为你失恋而停止转动,时间不会因为你停止走动,所以跌倒了再爬起来不就没事了吗?真搞不懂有些人为什么能要死要活的,既然对方对你已不存有任何感情了,那就干脆抬起头挺着胸说 bye bye! 本人的职业不是小说家,所以真的不想再到处逢人就滔滔不绝地谈起这事!

最近本人也发现到项链有点损坏了,没特别感觉,只是有点 regretful. 而且,没拿下来不是因为放不下,而是不想颈项看上去太空。所以直到发现更好的代替品时,肯定会将它置于千里之外!

今天就说到这吧。等灵感来了自然会回来。Tata.

Met the JC peeps whom I haven't seen in ages on Friday for a mini birthday celebration for HW. And as always, the CG rep would end up bickering with the class treasurer without fail. In a weird way, I guess I kind of miss that familiar banter. It's really comforting to know some things would never change. Hoho. After dinner, we went to Minds Cafe to chill - spent a relaxing and fun albeit short 2 hours there. We really should do this more often! (: And I totally enjoyed the heart-to-heart talk on the train ride home with HW. Reminds me of the times when we're were still young and relatively trouble-free. Yep, picture time!


Dinner at Manhattan (yep, again) and chilling out at Minds Cafe.



The birthday girl. Happy 22nd birthday in advance!

Till then, tata~

Ever wonder why so many students turn into coffee addicts once they enter university? I also don't know. Everywhere you go on campus, you see people holding on to that little cup that'll give them sustenance. Or, keep them awake at least.

Personally, I think it's all in the mind. Must be the perception that caffine can keep you awake. But I beg to differ. Plus it gives you coffee breath (which isn't something very attractive, in my opinion), depletes your bone mass, and turns your teeth yellow. See? That's why people should cut down on their coffee intake. And according to this study I heard about sometime back, green tea's a better substitute - you only need to drink it once for it to take effect, whereas you need to keep up the coffee intake in order to stay reasonably awake. Besides, it's also healthier! Hoho. And one more thing: Each glass of coffee depletes enough calcium so much so that you need to drink two glasses of milk in return to make up for it. So there.

Anyways. I just discovered I can actually type in Chinese here. Talk about being sua ku. And in turn, that means I can type in Japanese too! Hoho. So exciting. And yes, I'm procrastinating again. I dread thinking about the econometrics test this week which I know nothing about. -.- Sighs. But I'll be a real good girl and I WILL study for it. Since I have no choice anyway.

Hmm. I felt so much better after unloading here in the previous entry. Actually I've thought about deleting that post many times, but I guess it's staying up.

And being single doesn't mean I'm desperate, so if you think you can bow me over with your incessant calls and smses, please just leave me alone because you're irritating the hell out of me. I'm not interested in getting hitched. So. Buzz. Off. Okay. Period.

And yep, that'll be all for now. Remember not to drink too much coffee yeah! =D

Skipped school today because I overslept. -.- Must be all the late-nighters a few days in a row when I was rushing to finish last minute work to meet deadlines. Think I'll really never get rid of this habit - it's too deeply ingrained already. Hoho. Hmm it's nothing to be proud of, but oh wells, guess I'll just have to live with it or kick the habit, which is highly unlikely. Okay I do feel properly chastised when I'm nagged by a friend, but a leopard never changes its spots.

Anyways. Doing last minute work wasn't the whole reason why I was still up in the wee hours of the morning - I was trying to console a friend over her recent breakup. Maybe it's unethical of me to mention it here, but since she won't be reading this anyway, what she doesn't know won't hurt her. And since a lot of people must have guessed it or even heard about it by now, I shall not play hide-and-seek with words any more. Because whether I write it here or not it'll always remain as a fact. Yep. The reason why I was in a good position to console her was because of my own failed relationship. And yep, as much as I didn't tell that many people about it, the news still managed to reach her, which was why she came to me for help. Not to say that I've become an expert or anything, but I guess I can sympathise with her. And actually, it turns out that the both of us are so alike in our attitude towards relationships afterall.

This entry isn't to apportion blame or to gain sympathy. It's just that I got so reflective after talking to her and it helped to put things into perspective. Anyway, I won't delve into too many details here - some things are always better left unsaid, especially to people who don't know the whole story. Those who knew about my own breakup always tell me I don't look heartbroken - and to that, I'll ask in return: How do they expect me to look and behave? Go around with a depressed face whole day long, with puffy eyes and all? Not showing my emotions outwardly doesn't mean that I wasn't hurting. In fact, that period was one of the darkest that I went through (considering that I didn't experience that many similar moments in all my short 21 years) and everyday I was just wishing that I'll never wake up from my sleep again, or that I'll get rammed down by a car or something. Yes, morbid, I know, but I was so heartbroken then that was really what I wished. And every little thing would just set me off into tears. ):

And then, I'm not sure when, but things started to get better. Maybe it was because I had my work to take my mind off things, or the friends whom I was meeting up with. Whatever it was, I guess having the support of friends was really therapeutic. Not that I told that many people anyway. So, after the fact, I realised I had to pick myself up. No one was going to do it for me, and if I want to wallow in self-pity, I'm of course welcome to do that, but I guess after trying everything I could think of to do, the reality and futility of it all were like a tight slap in the face. I decided to stop. And luckily, the misery also went away gradually.

Anyway, I've come to realise that happiness is a choice. If you choose to be happy, you will. And it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. And what doesn't break you will really make you stronger.

On hindsight, maybe it's a form of punishment for being too caught up in that happiness. But oh wells. Like they say, 经一事,长一智。

It took a whole damn lot of courage and pondering to finally decide to post this entry, but I'm hoping that along with this I can finally close that chapter of my life and move on.

And yes, Japan, here I come! (((:


♥ 12:25 AM

Backlogs! Anyway, since I'm feeling too lazy to type, I'll just let the pictures do the talking. (:

Went Waraku with Melvyn and XW.


Our food. Looks yummy, no? They are. Hah.



Camwhoring.



And more camwhoring - our 五连拍. Yes very narcissistic I know. But what to do? Put girls and a camera together and you know what you'll get. Haha. And I think Melvyn-san was suitably tickled by the both of us too. Hoho.

Next up. Lunch at this HK cafe with XW on one of the days during recess week.


Food glorious food. Think I'm turning into a glutton. =ppp



Our failed attempts at trying to appear as their spokesperson. HAHA.



More pics of us. And the gigantic mango ice which we couldn't finish. =Xx

Met up with darling Ros who's always been MIA-ing heh.


Yes. Food again. Maybe I can consider venturing into the field of food journalism.



Haha. It's a familiar pattern by now. More camwhoring! Hohoho.

We planned a surprise birthday party for Robbie and TK. It was quite a success if I say so myself. =D


The tasty mango cake!



Cake cutting. We were teasing the both of them of how much they looked like a couple albeit a *uh hmm* one. MUAHAHAHA. (Alrights that was downright evil but it was all in good fun! =p)



The birthday boys with their pressies.



And group pics of everyone who was there!

Yep guess I'm done for now. Till then again, tata! (((:
