#6 (261208) -- Boxing Day
1) Passable 辩证分析 during internship, although it was for a very generic 鼓胀, but i am happy nonetheless.

The Eight Happy Days Meme #2 & #3

#2 (221208)
1) Going to 建外Soho (again) and having a wonderful dinner at Grandma's Kitchen. Thanks to the generosity of a friend, I got to taste the dishes that I wanted to try but couldn't due to pursestrings that was tight. THANKS MY!
2) Sleeping over at MYWZHF's house and getting a taste of waking up early and taking a bus to school.
3) No more fighting with b (for now) :)

#3 (231208)
1) Getting nice fotos out of trusty snowie (my fish-eye, and also how this blog's name came about). He was terribly bruised during the trip to the commune and the climb up to the 野长城.
2) Having a good time enjoying the performances during the class xmas party.
3) Having a good time eating the nice food whipped up by various classmates. Bliss.

The Eight Happy Days Meme #1

For eight days, you have to write about something that made you happy that day.

#1 (211208)
1) Tracing out a poem on the 精选古诗钢笔字帖 which i chanced upon at the bookshop in the 市场. Poems and calligraphy combining their powerful forces -- almost like a dream come true for me.
2) Cooking a meal with mel and receiving good comments. Yea, cooking is kinda fun and the brinjal was yummy. Whoever wants to try can let me know, will be happy to be the chef! Bahaha.
3) Talking to 小姑 on msn. Missed her lots and relieved to know that ah ma had been discharged and fully recovered already.

Its 冬至 today. The temperature's gonna plummet, the winds gonna get stronger. But let's fight it! Winter's supposed to be nice, white and fluffy, but I am having none of it Yet.

The Present and memories

Family and tyrannic sister -1, meek little me -0. So the plans were thwarted. What to do what to do. I am thinking 咬牙切齿 will be my middle name in the weeks (the last I count there are 9) leading up to the much-awaited trip back to islandsunny.

BTW, I have a very funny photo of an innocent little tyke that will (*fingers and toes crossed) help tide me through this trying period. Thanks budd of the decade, you rock.

ps: Said photo shall not be displayed to protect the identity of little tyke in question.

I need some loving

Here I am stealing a breather from the suffocating cauldron aka the school. Life's not been too good recently what with the lack of quality sleep and thoughts that are pushing me towards the other end of the spectrum. I miss home like you can never ever imagine. And no it is not temporary. As I was telling a few long lost friends, the furore brought about by a post on fb was like a blow of fresh air into my fast decaying life. I really enjoyed that night although we were like miles apart but everyone feeling the same way about our elementary sch life, that was FANTASTIC. I really missed those times. Really prove the old wives' tales right. Dun hurry to grow up. Growing up sucks (Although I do think growing tall would be kinda cool. I am stunted fyi, hence the comment).

The mind is an amazing entity and I cannot emphasize this point more. "We are halfway there already,", "Surely we can bring something useful back with us after all these," just floats in via the left ear and exits via the right. Not much effect there all these reassurance from various parties. I dunno but I am pretty sure of what I wanna do already. I just need to convince the parents and all other detractors (re: Youli) that I foresee will not hesitate to hamtum me when I finally figure out how to say my peace.

Going for a stretch now. Out!

:(

i miss these missies. PF!!!

It has been a while

Judging by how sporadic my posts are becoming, it is evident that I am either 1) too busy living it up here in the rustic (minus the charm factor) village of 方庄 or 2) cannot be bothered. The scale tips more towards the latter obviously but then again the only time I was mildly religious in my blogging habits was back in the days when I was a bummer and had lots of free time on hands. Now I would kill to be able to bum. Bumming my dear, I miss you so much. Ok, even of crap that I bet will make me cringe when I revisit this site 10 years later.

To Paofu and Bbb: I think I am not as strong as you guys thought me to be. Am still feeling vvvv trapped.
