I think its bittersweet, how as we get older, we get sadder.

Random post of the day.
Wei's valentine's day gift last year! Yay finally, haha. I wanted to take a picture of it before I gave it to him, but I finished the pillow just minutes before I was supposed to meet him and I was rushing. And after that I keep forgetting to snap a picture of it, until he decided that the pillow would cheer me up on some of my particularly bad days (which, by the way, are increasing at an alarming rate) and left it with gueh jing (chicken essence) and an adorable dog soft toy and a sweet note by my bedside one morning, so that that was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes - the paper bag was really huge. So basically the pillow's in my care now and I get to take as many pictures of it as I want!(:
Okay here goes. Presenting: the present that I'm most proud of.
Close-up
I almost died sewing on the 30 squares, but I think its all worth it. I blanket-stitched (don't know what you call that stitch but I call it blanket stitch, heh) each square individually, and I think they look so adorable, like a baby's blankie.(:
Okay I'm also proud of the bear I made for Wei, but that was with JunFeng's help.
The many things that are sitting on my bed so far.
I've been procrastinating clearing them out for years now. Some of them are really old, but then each and every single one has its own story and means something to me.
Ah well. Maybe I'll start clearing stuff after exams.

I'm feeling exceptionally lazy today.(:
Ohohoh! I've gotten a laptop skin for my laptop! Its looking super uber pretty and I can't wait to show it off. I'll put a picture up as soon as I'm not feeling lazy, haha.
Alrighty. I shall aim to finish more work before ICC later. Yay ice cream!:D
P/S: I still don't know what to do for my BM212 consumer behaviour assignment! Sigh.
P/P/S: I have this sudden urge to bake and make cookies and cupcakes and canapes. Must be the cookbooks.

And you're the perfect thing to say
I guess its true. Its hard for her to smile and be friendly, sincerely. Sometimes I think she's built that way; built to be defensive. But then, you always knew her better than I did.

Today, I had the most awesome time. Okay. Granted, it wasn't awesome throughout the day, but it was awesome enough to be really rather awesome.(:
I returned my keys today. If I don't get a room next sem, then I suppose today officially marks the end of my hall life. I don't feel nostalgic today, but it will come.
Mad Jack's has the most amazing banana crumble, I swear. And although these few days seem as though there are 10 suns up there instead of a friendly Mr Golden Sun, the nights are cool enough for lovely, lovely walks in the park.(:
Ah, the simple pleasures of life are good, good. I'm contented.(:

I'm suddenly craving for the Portobello Tempura Fries with Creamy Horseradish Sauce Wei and I had during our anniversary dinner at One-Ninety in Four Seasons Hotel. Oh yummy yum yum. Smackers.(:
I can't wait to have a whale of a time in Bintan with Qixin and Joan, read books from cover to cover in one go, have girl's nights out, bum around and visit book cafes with Wei, hang out with girlfriends, continue tennis lessons with Wei, and dream of my red Volkswagen Beetle Convertible that I promised I'll get myself in 8 year's time.
I can't wait for exams to be overrrrr, period.
Oh and speaking of tennis lessons with Wei, I hope his back heals fast and stops giving my poor sweetheart grief.):

I've come to the conclusion that my cynicism has grown exponentially. I realised that most books now don't draw me in, tug at my heart and cause it to ache like it used to.
I have a love affair with books. I keep those which are able to move me close to me, but now only a precious few grace my bedside table and I'm grateful for them, really and truly. Books like My Best Friend's Girl, The Time Traveler's Wife, Vanishing Acts and The Memory Keeper's Daughter keep me going.
Being jaded sure takes the joy out of reading, huh.

I am bemused at how its not stories of pledges of undying love that get me these few days but fantasy. Ravenheart was breathtaking and heartbreaking, so much so that I find myself sitting in bed in the wee hours of the morning, walking the prophecy and dying a thousand deaths, weeping, despairing and aching at mankind for both its selfishness and its beauty and tenacity.

Just so you know
I am still wondering if what was meant as a means to survive is fundamentally flawed. What on earth happened to "equilibruim" and "stability"? And you know what they say, "everything in moderation".
Ah well, at least it keeps me whole and going. Andd, I'm am still overwhelmed by tests and projects. O Saturday, pleeeeease come quick! I think I need to be saved.Labels: Life's little quirks, Random thought

Again and again
And again and again and again.
Boy do you appear in all the unexpected places. Perhaps it was the company I was with, perhaps its was all just too fleeting, but at least this time it didn't feel like you jumped out at me and pushed me off a cliff. Maybe next time I would be able to look into your eyes and we could have a proper conversation, haha. You looked well, though, and truly I am glad.
And you too, my sweet. Its amazing, because we both know where we would see each other, but everytime I meet you, I am always surprised. This time it was so vivid, though. Maybe we too, could hold a proper conversation the next time we meet.
Haha yes I know, I know. In my dreams, then, perhaps. In my dreams.
**
I want to contact you, ma chère étranger, and ask if you're doing okay but I shall not because I dare not, for fear that it will drive you off the deep end again. So I will bite my tongue so that I do not hurt you and just let you be. Know that I only wish the best for you.
Love, me.
p.s. btw, if you ever feel that you're up to it, you can always drop me a mail. Merci beaucoup.(:Labels: Life's little quirks, Mr BG, Random thought

Those shades of gray.
It has always been absolutes. For me, it has always been either yea or nay, simple and straightforward. In betweens exist, of course, for who can live a life so finely divided?
Then there's this Thing. For it, there will always be this impulse, this need to nit and pick at those shades of gray, to probe and to poke and sometimes fingers bleed and bones ache and hearts break and there are little holes driven into the fabric of it all, and yet still pulling and pushing and stretching, till Gray seems to lose a little Shade or perhaps, gain a little Colour, and then everything goes back to absolutes again.
It occurred to me that what was, on all accounts, a means to survive is now a way of life.Labels: Random thought, Rose-tinted glasses
