Yes, i've been awfully free these days so don't be shocked to see me updating my blog every other day. I've been too free that thoughts have been running wild in my mind. So free that i'm noticing every little single detail, noticing the small precious moments figurine that's seated at a slanted angle on my desk. So free that i thought it was a bad omen. So free that i couldn't sleep at night. I have been too free, too free for my own good. However, this privilege will end today for i will be mugging for my Chinese Lit test as of tomorrow.
Been downloading an awful lot of songs recently. Songs that i've not heard of. Songs whom artistes i'm not even aware of. Songs which bring back lots of memories. Most importantly, songs which bring a whole new meaning to my life. I used to like english songs cos i felt that they were easier to sing but eversince i got into this course, i started listening to chinese songs on a more regular basis and i felt that they carry an even deeper meaning. Songs relating to love or friendship have both touched me in more ways than one. Yes, songs do matter alot to me. I have my own song, what about you? Does your song happen to be the same as mine?
Finished watching 转角遇到爱recently and i was very touched by the show. It isn't your normal cheesy drama where nothing comes out from watching it. It isn't your normal romantic movie where the poor pauper turned into a rich handsome prince. No, none of the above. I have derived an entirely new meaning about love. Loving someone means giving him/her the best he/she could ever have and that also means letting them go. Loving someone just means giving up your own happiness for that special someone. Sometimes, love just ain't enough i think. I would be willing to give my loved one up if he finds someone of a better calibre. I will be willing to do all these because i love him.
Woke up at a god-forbidden 7am today just to get my visa done. Apparently, my visa was only able to allow me to stay in china till june and we had to extend it for another 1.5 months. I was just wondering to myself, if i don't go for this morning's visa extension, would i be able to go back earlier? Will i be able to see my mom earlier? Or even my beloved dog? Its pure torture not being able to see my family members for the whole of my stay except for that few days my dad and sis were here. Been reading my friends' blogs and i could tell that they're all very unhappy over here. Waking up to doors slamming is one thing. Waking up at 7am everyday when you don't even have enough sleep is another. Not only do we have to endure the huge culture shock, we have to study. No, not just study like we do in Singapore but study HARD and score well for exams. We're no genius honey, we don't spend our childhood memorizing chinese poems. That aside, the weather's getting from bad to worse and it has dampened our spirits a great deal. We feel tired most of the time and have absolutely no mood to study. So i wonder how we're ever gonna score for C lit test next week... Somehow i feel that our teacher's gonna be real disappointed with us. Well, it's not the first time anyway. Luckily mom called while i was waiting for my visa to be done and that call made my day.
We got everything done by 930am so i really don't know why she asked us to meet at 8am when we could have slept in for a little while longer. Having lots of time on our hands, ql,yt and i decided to head downtown for our first ever macdonald's breakfast. It sucked totally and that only made me miss singapore even more. I don't even wanna go into detail on how much the food sucked. Having had our fill, we decided to walk around town. Though it was real early, the streets were flooded with people. Seriously, don't they ever sleep? We discovered new places today and i was happy with my buy. Yup, we all didn't come back empty handed. Dinner at straits cafe was an unpleasant affair. Firstly, the food sucked. Secondly, the service sucked. Is it so difficult to be nice to customers like us? Lastly, practically everyone was smoking in the restaurant. Well, i just hope that i don't suffer from any lung diseases when i'm back!
Tomorrow's your big day darling. I'm sorry i'm not able to celebrate this special day with you. However, my heart's always with you. I hope you enjoy yourself on this very special day. Happy 23rd birthday my love. May you always be happy, I love you.
