the most wonderful time of the year / Saturday, December 26, 2009
this year christmas was really mellow. oh yea. i'm finally charlottesville! got here on tuesday night. and i think i've finally caught up with all the sleep i've been lacking. on thursday night at like 10.30 john and i went over to gwathmey to find people to chill with. i met some new people.. lindsay, weiqi, catherine? and lala. they were playing cards and waiting up to midnight for christmas! so we decided to join them. midnight came and wei qi and lala started singing christmas songs and we all joined in. it was a good time.
as we were leaving, wei qi came up to john telling him that there was a package outside for him. and from who? SANTA. it was a giant stocking filled with goodies! and that's what it said. hahaha
it was a mysterious friend of my brother's who apparentely he had told too many times that santa clause does not exist. or maybe it just once and he his friend was just bored and generous. anyway, now we've losts of goodies. i think we've eaten half of them already actually. doughnut holes, dots candy, cookies n' cream chocolate, toothbrushes, jello mix, gum, pancake mix, cologne, bedsheet set, tinkywinky soft toy, peanut brittle, razors, and a bunch more!
oh and gift cards to k-mart! so... maybe it was a bunch of friends... because that's a lot of stuff.
i haven't been very good at spending this break with my bro. i think maybe because i've been so tired. so. now that i've gotten back my energy, i think i will go and wake him up now.
cheerio!

no one is as lucky as us / Monday, December 21, 2009
and now i've got a feeling if i sang this loud enough that you would sing it back to me
so... i have to say, i absolutely love this new layout. now i don't have to scale down the videos i post here!
so for the past two days i have been stuck in new york, flushing, queens (yes, place of fran the nanny). well first greyhound cancelled all the buses going southbound because the weather decided to be crazy and snow everywhere. so here i am. today has been a good day. in the morning i skyped with my brother. and i'm taking the bus down to charlottesville tomorrow! i really hope, for sure, that my ticket is exchangable or still valid, because i don't want to pay $74, because it's not my fault that the weather decided to be crazy.
went out with my grand uncle and auntie to eat some lunch. ate a sesame chicken with ginger and that red thingamabob. the best part of the meal. and then some spareribs and kangkong. i haven't ate that in like foreverrr.. and.. steamed fish! although, it's not what i had expected for steamed fish. different kind of steamed fish than the one in singapore. it was oily with some sauce and what not.. fish sauce. well the kind of steamed fish that i like is just the fish steamed with fresh chilies and ginger. and that's all it needs. oh and spring onions... i don't need all that brown stuff that was there.
after lunch went grocery shopping. got some frozen durians to eat avec mon frere. and mochi! dood. those things are frikin' awesome..
and got some egg tarts!
when we got back auntie showed me how to make this apple and cucumber salad. very refreshing. and the basics of making my own salad dressing. uh huh.
now i'm listening to paramore! and then going to take a shower. to be clean! that's always nice.
new york is dirty..
cheerio!

i feel like.. / Saturday, December 05, 2009
i'm losing myself. i've become so distracted from what i've come here to be. my head just feels so... confuddled? i don't even know what that means. i don't think it's a real word either.
i'm just trying to figure out how i made myself in such a stressed situation/feeling. i spent my first month here, september doing fine i guess. maybe it was all those weekends i decided to just chill. i don't know. too much chilling and now i'm paying for it with more pressure.
i don't know what i want to say anymore. i feel my spirit dying. slowly. it's like senior, but hopefully it won't be worse. no way. well, when i say spirit, i mean more of my personality. i feel like i've lost it. i don't know who i am. you know what i mean? i feel like my personality is drowning out and hiding behind someone else. i can't be straightforward. which i really hate. but not right now.
this weekend, i just need to focus on STUDYING. i need to prepare for my french oral. and i need to carefully read my psych textbook. oh and do some practice final exam for chem. it can be done and it will be done.
i just hope... it's hard to express how i'm feeling right now. maybe i'm just having an anxiety fiesta right now. whatever, i need to sleep. so. goodnight and sweet dreams.
