考试前综合征

怎么办，备考受阻了。就因我的心早已飞回小小岛国，不再在课业上了。羡慕室友老是有家人来访，能解相思之苦。我想化泪水为力量，你能帮我吗？

相思（王维）

红豆生南国，
春来法几支？
愿君多采撷，
此物最相思。

First Day of 2009!

I conquered this by the way!! *pats on the back* and yes, THANK YOU MARI for your craziness pushed us all to our limits.

I figured since its a new year with a spanking new start, a post is but obligatory. Well well. There was no countdown as I was and still am a boring old fart (quite literally since I was suffering from a bout of stomach upset yesterday), and as pathetic as it may sound, I was reeling from the excitement sparked off by an innocent change of status on facebook. It really did buoyed my spirits by a huge bit. I am happy to say that my classmates crack me up sometimes. SO FARNIE CAN!

This morning I trooped down to carrefour for grocery shopping. It seemed the entire neighbourhood also decided to come along. The supermarket was Filled To The Brim with the nationals. They really like the barge/push (whats the diff anyway?) lor so irri. The food had better last me four days man. I am running low on the cash boohoo. and 没人理我 :(.

Ok I better go back to the books/little nyonya. OH YAWN/YEAH.

Till then!

Chinese Commune post in the works. Don't like the photo-loading process though.

The Eight Happy Days Meme #7 & #8

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

This gets increasingly difficult as sometimes things are not as rosy and happy as they should be.

#7 (271208)
1) Enjoying the Christmas performance by xq's group. The fabulous dance aside, what tickled me the most was that the cues for the backstage crew were very audible to the audience. "好了灯光可以下了。" I mean seriously!
2) Getting to talk to paofu (and bbb) online.

#8 (281208)
1) Finally a run after so long. Didn't push myself cause I was overall very down in spirits. And you wonder why. But glad I went anyhow.
2) A hearty brekkie of apples and oats. A surprise match there. Tarty apples and yummy oats, with orange jam to boot!

1) Passable 辩证分析 during internship, although it was for a very generic 鼓胀, but i am happy nonetheless.

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

#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.
