Corner with Love

Haven't updated my blog for close to 7 months now.. blame it on my laziness/slackiness/whatever u call it.. i juz cant bring my hands to type anything on this DEAD blog.. like seriously!

anyw, juz finished watching corner with love.. and i totally love it! I used to hate watching taiwanese drama cos they're so teary and cliche and everything, but this particular drama was good. True, the actors don't seem to have any tears when they cry, but the story is kept simple and complicated at the same time, it's juz beautiful.

And i guess i'm really outdated.. I juz realised Luo Zhi Xiang = Xiao Zhu, and I din even know he's been really famous for the past few years.. but he's really quite shuai! oh... and I realised he can sing and dance as well!

haiz.. but there's currently no more good taiwanese drama for me to watch.. so i'll juz stick to my grey's anatomy, which, somehow or another.. has lost its magical (or medical) impact on me. sobs

Mixed Feelings

不管昨天　你對我說過了什麼
今天的我還是依然　依然沉默
兩個人生氣著　看著誰先捨不得
何必這樣　來試探我們的緣份

not easy to maintain....

garden stuff

Remember the caterpillar that was about to about a cocoon... it DID become a cocoon recently.. and its beautiful!!

It's really camouflaged to mimic a leaf-like structure.. and i almost touched it just to see whether it's really a leaf... EEWW!!! lucky i din touch it..

And this is one cocoon that didn't make it... i don't know wad happened to it.. but my best conjecture was that it probably didn't manage to eat enough leaves to survive the cocoon stage.. Poor thing... who asked you all to eat all the leaves... now you've all starved to death!

Pile of shit beneath the pot... gross... I'm not going to be the one to clear it out

On a lighter note, the bonsai plant next to this dying plant is blooming.. it's like really rare to see flowers growing on it and I thought i should take a picture before all the flowers fall out

Hee... i really have nothing better to do.. but things in the garden are really interesting!! if only i can get to see the butterfly emerging from the cocoon!! =)

Caterpillars!!

My plant is having a bug infestation!! with lotsa caterpillars.. i counted.. and there's like 5-6 caterpillars scavenging the plant for leaves... but too bad.. you've all eaten the leaves and now you're gonna starve!! hehe.. *evil grin

See that brown thing behind?.. that's the 'skin' which the butterfly left behind after metamorphosis.. SO MANY CATERPILLARS!! (i only took one particular caterpillar, there's still 5 crawling around)

And this particular caterpillar is about to become a cocoon.. quite cute ehh.. hopefully it doesn't fall off when the wind gets too strong.. THere's only the stems left behind.. no more leaves!

Oh.. and there's a pile of shit left beneath the plant... shit of the leaves.. haha!

Reminiscence

Met up with yanling today for dinner... i walked to where we were supposed to meet, the path which i used to take to go to school when i was just Sec 1 and 2. As i walked.. I just felt like walking on this path forever.. and not ever stop. It's a strange feeling, walking on that path which i haven't took for the past 7 years.

Then i reached my old secondary school, which I attended in Sec 1/2 before moving to the new school. And i can see the canteen, the basketball court and the classrooms. The old kampung school hasn't changed a single bit. It's more tattered and torn, nobody's living in there and the weeds are growing everywhere..

It's abit like going into an uninhabited old castle where the plants grow everywhere covering the castle into a pathetic state. Though the school is like a haunted building now, with weed infestation, but I seriously hope it'll stay this way.. old and weed infested.. and curious.

After meeting yanling at the main gate, we headed for the church just next to our school. Though Im a buddhist, but being in a catholic for 12 years (including kindergarten), there's some sort of magical bond between the church and me, and sitting in a church made me feel really relaxed and at peace with myself.

I din pray for anything, i was just absorbing the environment surrounding me, looking at peple singing hymns, people praying, people kneeling, people giving thanks... sigh... if only i had brought my camera, I'd love to show off the church as well as my weed infested secondary school... pristine and clean..

sigh... if only i can return to those days.. carefree and relaxed.. with no troubles at all

Updates

I've got a hall!! In hall 16 too... fyi, its air-conditioned and huge compared to hall 8.. all thanks to jasmine, andy and sophia!!! thanks thanks thanks!!!

Hai.. but too bad.. will be living with a roomie whom I don't know.. a little apprehensive to be living with someone unknown.. but hey! on the up side.. I can make new friends and I can save a whole lot more time travelling.. Guess I'll be moving in on sunday juz before the holidays end..

Hmm.... not sure whether i'll be able to adapt to hall life after such a long time.. but considering the fact that there'll be mountains of reports to do after the term break.. i guess time is really golden and if i can cut short the travelling time... why not?? But i'll definitely miss yanling and shermaine... sob sob... :(

And oh!! i've jus signed up for facebook! I mean.. until now I still don't know how it functions.. but it's quite fun really.. I juz add all the features that my friends sent to me... and just try all the stupid buttons to see what it really is.. haha.... guess i just need a little more time to accustom to it.

And the last sad part of my life: its almost the end of the holidays!! one week holidays is really not enough! Not just for playing... but even if I have to bury myself studying all the notes for an entire week, its still not enough!! Someone has really got to change the system and extend the holidays a little bit more... say 2 weeks!! haha... though its not that possible.. but still!! there's only 4 days to the start of school.. and there's still so much studying to be done!! not fair.. i want to go to unimelb too..... :(

Like a Star

just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like i'll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands,
oh.. i do love you,

still i wonder why it is,
i don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,
you've got this look i can't describe,
you make me feel like i'm alive,
when everything else is a fade,
without a doubt you're on my side,
heaven has been away too long,
can't find the words to write this song,
oh.,.. your love,

~ Excerpt of song lyrics from Corinne Bailey Rae

Dedicated to you, for our anniversary :D
