Go lose yourself

I'm breaking my own promise of not updating. Mid-terms are stressing me up, but I just noticed that today is the last day of February already, so I thought I'd write something.

Wrapped up my revision a little earlier and decided to take a break. Guess what? I just checked the list of winners for this year's Oscars. "The King's Speech" is the biggest winner so far, if I'm not mistaken. 

Surfed through blogs and status updates.You know what pattern I found when I was going through all these sites? People are either gloomy or plain angry. These days I feel like smashing something like glass. Or sleep through troubles and dream that they will solve themselves. 

Yeah, a little down lately, but still optimistic. The best thing to do when you're angry or sad is just to lose yourself. Take yourself away (like a takeaway :D) and lose yourself in music, books or anything that you're passionate about. That's why I watched "The King's Speech" and later, "Black Swan" a few weeks ago. That's why I took long breaks from the Internet. Because I knew I needed an escape then. It worked well for me. 

Go lose yourself. Do something that you're passionate about. Cry. Yell like nobody's around. Anything. Just let it all out. Everything will sort itself out in the end.

24/2/11

Mid-terms are coming up! Freaking out already.
I did OK for my quizzes, but I still can't forgive myself for those silly mistakes.
Why miss out so important a detail?
Why GO change the CORRECT answer?
I got the correct answer, then I slashed it off and replaced it with a wrong one. Dumb me.

For upcoming mid-terms, it'll be much tougher.
Have to really work harder.
Will be busy in the coming days.
Excuse me for the lack of updates.

I don't know how I did it, but my lecturers revealed to me in private my performance in quizzes. Wow.

What made them to let slip these things, I wonder.

20/2/11

Sometimes you just have to marvel at the way things go wrong in a single day.

It takes only one small thing to ruin your happiness, bliss, contentment or whatever you call it.

Today being my birthday, I thought everything would go well.

I thought I can carry out the plan I have in mind, but no. NO NO NO.

You get your hopes up too high, like a bubble let loose, only to have a headless housefly, unsure of its direction, to crash into it and pop goes your plan.

That's not to say I had a bad day, though. I'll write about it when I feel better.

But for now, URGGGH! EXPLETIVES! EXPLETIVES! EXPLETIVES!

受宠若惊

早上收到快递,原来是份早来的礼物,有点吓到。

还没拆呢。。呵呵!

下午妈妈请了个技工来修我房的冷气机,我怔住了。
虽说是邻居无条件把它送给我(然后自己换新的=P),
虽说它坏了、在我房“瘫”了几个月,
虽说我自己也不怎么爱睡冷气房,
但是
但是
现在修好了,感觉好爽!

谢谢你们。

还有半个钟我可以拆开今早送来的大礼吧?XOXO

淚奔

曲: 鄭楠| \ 詞: 葛大為 \ 編曲: 呂紹淳

別浪費最後一個謊
又心軟答應我留下
總是欣賞你的直來直往
這一次希望還是這樣
無所謂我心臟夠強壯
但不意味沒受傷

我往回憶奔跑 壓抑不了眼眶
我怎麼卻看到 全世界都失焦
轉身脫逃 淚奔你別看到 oh 也好

很抱歉愛沒有解藥
治療它然後又怎樣
你沒料到我會棄權投降
接受吧不要問我感想

無所謂我心臟夠強壯
但不意味沒受傷

我往回憶奔跑 壓抑不了眼眶
我怎麼卻看到 全世界都失焦
轉身脫逃 淚奔你別看到 oh 也好

痛也往前奔跑 藏匿我的心慌
痛忍住這一秒 我會用力微笑
偽裝不了 淚奔被你看到
oh 也好 也好 也好 也好

別浪費最後一個謊
又心軟答應我留下
總是欣賞你的直來直往
這一次希望還是這樣

Flares & Bangs!

The fireworks are driving me crazy! Now I know why this year's Chinese New Year eve was so quiet - you guys save the best, loudest fireworks for tonight! I just can't sleep with all those flares and bangs just outside my window, hence this very late/very early post.

Lately I was busy rushing assignments and doing revisions for upcoming quizzes. Actually I have a Maths quiz tomorrow afternoon. Senseless of me for staying up this late, right? Of course I've been working hard on my Maths, but still...

Oh great, now we have lion dance and firecrackers. Lion dance right at twelve, I don't know what to say about that.

A friend told me during my last lunch break that she couldn't read me. Haha. We were playing cards in a busy Chinese restaurant and for once, I made this friend of mine really, really confused. Yet she played better than me and sort of won among the group in the end.

I think I just can't sleep tonight. Somebody just blasted music somewhere nearby. Gosh.

吃的艺术

昨晚跟伯父一家吃晚餐
原以为请了很多亲戚
到了酒楼才知道
这是个小小的晚宴

一道又一道的山珍海味
还没吃完下一个就来
就如往常一样我吃最多
并不是我贪吃或胃口好
只是我的左邻右里很殷勤
夹了菜给我还频频催我吃

这么多年来出席这么多酒席
和我同桌的客人很幸福
每一碟菜都吃到干干净净
有时隔壁桌还会端来
他们吃不完的菜
所以我想出以下几招应付:

  1. 慢慢吃。不管出菜速度快或慢,你吃你的,而且要慢慢咀嚼。人家看到你嘴里还有这么多菜,应该不会塞菜给你吧?
  2. 玩你碟上的菜,并一直赞叹菜好吃,催其他客人吃。这招真的管用。比如说你在吃鱼,那么你就“玩”它——去鱼刺啦,分几小段啦,淋上几汤匙汁等等。你吃了几口,含住慢慢咬,吞完了就赞叹菜好吃,瞪大眼睛,然后笑到见牙不见眼,说服周围的人吃多一些。这样一来,多大碟的菜,大家“分工合作”都吃得完,你也不必当“垃圾桶”。
  3. 确保你的碟子常满。如果你的碟满满都是菜,应该可以避免别人在你的碟上加菜的。。。
  4. 你自己夹菜。如果吃到的菜好吃,不要再等,直接夹给自己,不过记得要夹小份的,因为一来以表示尊重,让还没吃到的客人有菜吃,二来你夹得少,吃得慢,你很忙,别人不会把菜统统堆给你吃。
昨晚情况还好的
因为只有我们两家人一桌
周围的几十桌都不认识的
不会有剩菜端来:)
(有的话我会塞回给他吃!)

可惜的是出菜时间很乱
有时快有时慢
我正吃着第五道菜
第六、第七、第八全都早来
所幸的是我们能打包剩菜
要不然真是奢侈浪费

兔兔兔兔~

过去两天拜年很累
都是晚上才回到家
而且回来时
附近的屋子都超静的
有点恐怖

我可以静静坐着
然后就这样睡觉
爆竹、舞狮都无所谓
累到透支怎样都睡得了

往年浑浑噩噩混过去
乱吃乱喝都可以
今年我不敢了
吃煎炸我没戒
只是一得空就
大喝几杯开水

唱K、打牌、看电视都有
红包也领了不少
亲戚们见到我都说我
长高了啦
有的直接问:
“有没有六尺啊?”
再这样下去
就快的了,呵呵

刚刚到隔壁家送礼
听到我说里面有红包
我这位邻居开心透了

说真的
吃了几天烧肉
我都觉得闷了
待会儿初八拜天公
再来个大烧猪
救命咯!
