a note for you

by

I know you’re another one of my silent readers. If not, it doesn’t matter anyway.

I know you’re going to say that I shouldn’t feel bad and that you chose to help me, but I can’t help feeling that it’s partly my fault that you didn’t get an A in your Math mid-term. During lunch today, so many thoughts were running through my mind. If only this, if only that… 🙁

本当ごめなさい…

walking through a dream

by

Weather’s been a little crazy. Right now it’s raining heavily. Although back home, thunder and lightning is common when it rains, if you hear thunder here, it’s surprising. The rain is so bad that the roof is leaking at my dorm. Well, at least not outside my room, a few doors down.

Yesterday, it was pretty foggy. Like as if someone just poured water into a huge bucket of dry ice.

I swear I didn’t photoshop the photo. It’s taken from my room. I apologise for the faint grid, it’s the window netting.

The botak tree looked nice in this setting. Looks like from some mysterious/horror film – the dark dark woods or something. :laugh:

This photo is taken by Koon Seng. Just to show what it is like at ground level. It’s like walking through a dream.

PS: Before the day ends, happy birthday to my daddy! 🙂

can i go any faster?

by

You’re just going to hear me complain the whole week. I’m jolly irritated that I have to walk at such a S.L.O.W speed. No, I correct that…limp not walk. Well, the swelling has gone down a considerable bit, if that’s any good news at all.

I suddenly remembered I have to return the dvd at Rentertainment today. Had to ask Koon Seng to help me return it and 顺便 buy dinner. The heavens certainly aren’t kind today. Showers of blessing. So, he had to walk in the rain. I’m so sorry. 🙁

I really owe him a lot…

bad karma caught up with me

by

It’s all about karma. I must have been talking bad about people too much…

I was leaving YMCA, where the SSA Chinese New Year dinner was held, missed a step and landed at a wrong angle. I’ve landed on wrong footing a couple of times, but usually it’s nothing, just a slight pain at the moment. This time, I heard a crack sound. Shit. I knew it was gonna be bad.

Yea, my first time spraining my ankle. 🙁 Now, I can’t “gloat” when people tell me they have broken their leg/arm/whatever and I haven’t had any major mishap.

I feel like a major inconvenience to everyone. I won’t say I’m fiercely independent, but I’m used to doing things myself. I try not to rely on others too much, just don’t want to be an inconvenience to anyone. So, it’s kinda weird having people fuss around me. I had to be piggy-backed back to my dorm by Koon Seng. It’s no joke to have 45kg on your back. Chun Ming had to carry my huge ass bag and a (stinky) boot. Well, the whole gang had to go over to my dorm instead of going back to theirs. Worse of all, Koon Seng was with me the whole time when he had to study for a mid-term on Monday. I’m like SUPER 最低!

I’m so irritated. I can’t do things the usual way for God-knows-how-long. It’s like a major upheaval to my life! I have to take extra time to go to class next week. Freakin’ hell, I have to take extra time to even walk to the loo. Someone please give me wings or a teleport machine. 🙁

I know Per’s going to say “dear girl, can you please take care of yourself?” That’s what she said the last time I got that huge ass bruise on my finger. I guess I’ll be fine…irritated, but fine. Contradictory, but whatever.

Thanks to everyone who fussed over me. Gosh, I’m feeling so bad now. I’m so so sorry…

i will tell you

by

Got this from Ling’s blog.

Leave a comment and I will:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something – a song, a colour, a photo, a word, a smell, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I’ve always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favourite user pic of yours. (That is if you use LJ.)
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ/blog. (Well, I guess if you have one. If not, I’ll still answer it.)

Ling’s answer for me is under the cut.

it snowed and snowed

by

Everyone was hoping that school would be cancelled. Haha, fat hope.

It started snowing pretty heavily last afternoon/evening. There was a snow storm warning. We were told to expect at least 10 inches of snow. Yepz, there really was A LOT of snow. Thanks to the guys who stayed up all night shovelling snow off the sidewalks. They really made life a lot easier especially when I had to walk all the way to the engineering side today.

I love snow, but not when I have to walk from Transportation Building to David Kinley Hall in record time. It’s no longer a pretty winter wonderland when I can’t walk at my fastest speed and have to take extra 5 minutes to make my way to class. It’s already annoying on normal days that sometimes I feel my body wanting to move along faster, but my legs are not cooperating.

Anyway, just to let you guys see the amount of snow…

Yea, that’s the walkway up to the main door of my dorm.

baby, the stars shine bright

by

I took advantage of the Monday special at That’s Rentertainment and rented 2 international films. One of which is for one of the modules I’m taking. The other…well, I wanted to watch that film a long time ago, but somehow didn’t get my hands on it. Anyway, I watched the other one last night.

It’s quite obvious why I wanted to watch “Kamikaze Girls“. Lolita fashion~~~ :heart: I have no idea how the title got translated to that coz the Japanese title is nothing like that. At least the Japanese title has some connection with the film. *wonders* Anyway, it was just so exciting to see Kyoko Fukada in those pretty lolita dresses. Her character, Momoko loves the brand “Baby, The Stars Shine Bright“. It’s a famous lolita brand which sells mostly sweet lolita dresses. I would die to get a dress from there or Metamorphose, but it’s REALLY expensive. 🙁

There’s someone on Ebay sewing similar designs from Baby, The Stars Shine Bright, but if you were a true blue fan of lolita fashion, wouldn’t it be kinda embarassing to say that you own a fake? Well, I guess at least owning a “real” one and the rest fake would at least redeem you.

A few years ago, I would not have known who the other lead actress was, but after getting into NANA…yepz, it’s Anna Tsuchiya. The role of Ichigo really suits her since Ichigo is more rough and tough.

The movie has scenes which seem a little far-fetched, but there are certain themes and emotions the characters go through that relate well with what most people would go through in their lives. Hmmmm…I just might use this movie for my movie review for one of my other modules. The movie features my favourite Tommy Heavenly6 song – “Hey My Friend”! 🙂

By the way, I added this neat plugin that allows my friends on Facebook to know when I post a new entry here. Alright, I’ll continue dreaming of pretty lolita dresses…lalala… :love:

needs a big hug

by

I hate you, iGoogle. You bluffed me. You said that there would be a thunderstorm yesterday. YESTERDAY. Yet, half of me was wet when going to class just now. Umbrella? NO USE. I was left cold and pissed off in Lincoln Hall.

Came back to the dorm. Looking forward to a nice, warm bath. What did I get? More cold water. Damn it. I’m seriously pissed off now.

I need a big hug to cheer me up. *pouts*
