Life is beautiful

we've graduated and survived 5.5 years :))

the family who has been tahan-ing my nonsence for the past 3 months, while me tolerating them became 10 times harder to manage because of the exam. but now its over. jokes and outings are no longer disturbances, and noises are liveliness at home. :)

today i graduated. my real convocation.
and i have used up all my energy.

从来没当过老幺。。。

心要正。

taken from Things We Forget

Pressure makes diamonds. Yea sure. the diamond would be my license.
they forgot... too much pressure crushes diamonds too.

hit hit hit the books!!
in one month's time. it will be all over... not exactly.

什么时候还我生活!! Stre. Only two alphabets short of stress.

My most loyal supporters amidst the most difficult times during studying. Accompanying me wherever I am everyday.. going to bed only when I do so.

Help help help. Simba kena bullied. See how he stares big big to ask for help.

i miss the going out times - guilt free.

heres a picture of simba. the dog king... king of troubles.

Some scars are forever even if it doesn't itch or hurt anymore... ewww?

...and being told to head to the resuscitation room is scary beyond words. I was barely functioning because everyone was on high alert and Operating Theatre was fully prepped for a spinal cord decompression surgery. I didn't want to freak my princess and hence was trying my very best to act normal, look alive with a tears filled face. My white lie to char when she questioned my sadness and tears was: "I'm feeling so sick. My tummy is hurting and I feel nausea. That's why I am sad." Char said: "I'm sorry mom that you have to take care of me even when you are sick. Thank you mom. I promise I will take care of you next time when I'm old and you are sick. I will stay with you in the room when you take picture. I will feed you. I will also bath you and I will carry you to the toilet. I will wash your backside for you."...

the words from a 6 year old gal.

on this day, i enjoyed myself thoroughly, although i did suffer a bit of 脑震荡 and a series of blue blacks on my arms after. i did my best to scream, and ran out of breath halfway through the rides cuz they were too long for my lungs. and i kept repeating myself i havent sat on a roller coaster for more than a decade. hahah thank goodness. my heart still can take it.








rainbow :))))))


im an easily satisfied customer. i guess no matter how small the place is, or how others view it as bad as compared to other theme parks in the world, i think with the right company and people, im a happy person anywhere. so universal studios was fun.

and theres no captions for my photos, cuz im rushing to watch my show that just got uploaded. =p and then back to the books. wheeee. i must feel happy to be studying.

these 3+2 years.
挫败和成长，反复发作.
haha.

i dropped my photo frame accidentally the other day. one small accident, its broken. unrepairable.

keeping it will only allow the glass pieces to cut. so i threw it away.


I will not live in vain. :)))
I shall not live in vain.. if i can ease one fellow human being from his flu.

I'm going home with 2 extra pieces of paper next week.
somehow i still feel happy knowing its confirmed.

and i sing to my heart's content this song.


站在狂风的天台一望无际
这一座孤独的城市
在天空与高楼交接的尽头
谁追寻空旷的自由

阳光覆满这一刻宁静的我
隔绝了喧嚣和冷漠
川流不息的人游荡在街头
谁能听见谁的寂寞

找一个人惺惺相惜 找一颗心心心相印
在这个宇宙 我是独一无二 没人能取代
不管怎样 怎样都会受伤 伤了又怎样
至少我很坚强 我很坦荡

夜幕笼罩灿烂的一片灯海
多少人多少种无奈
在星光裏遗忘昨天的伤害
一觉醒来还有期待

我不放弃爱的勇气 我不怀疑会有真心
我要握住 一个最美的梦 给未来的自己
一天一天 一天推翻一天 坚持的信仰
我会记住自己今天的模样

有一个人惺惺相惜 有一颗心心心相印
抛开过去 我想认真去追寻 未来的自己
不管怎样 怎样都会受伤 伤了又怎样
至少我很坚强 我很坦荡

我不放弃爱的勇气 我不怀疑会有真心
我要握住 一个最美的梦 给未来的自己

不管怎样 怎样都会受伤 伤了又怎样
至少我很坚强 我很坦荡

未来的你 会懂我的疯狂

i need the oil.

What shall I say? I love my dearies. They always take away all my 悲伤忧愁.. and bring smiles to my life. Congrats dearie Jo!

22nd June I closed my doors. and took a last look at the entire place i called home for 2 years. throughout the 2 years i forgot how it looked like. it was blue and white, the reason why i took a liking to it soon after we got there.

pretty furnishing was always there, but i was quite blind to it.

and the corridor which i found too dark and scary at first. until i found out, almost every block in bj is the same. no sunlight.

and so i closed a chapter to my life.

after being tired. and more tired for about 2 weeks. i finally packed and threw away many things of the past, and made way for the new. but theres still somethings which i cant throw away - like notes from jc times. i find uni stuffs easier to dump.

Simplify your life.
Quit doing things out of habit.
Eliminate some of the garbage from your routine so you can see your path more clearly.

yes my fav book is back :)
and im doing a 大扫除 in my life. ridding of things, contacts, stuffs that are no longer worth keeping anymore.


收拾好心情，我要开始了。

home :)

the most unexpected place i was at last night...


but after take the rail multiple times for the past 2 years, i dont have any feelings for tracks anymore... whats so special about the track here when i've been on real track myself.


literally. after the train just passed. tracks are everywhere. i sian.

we ended our last 2 years of school life with a 'graduation' trip to Yunnan for about 7 days. another part of China which was never part of my plan to begin with. it could have been better, but the beautiful scenery made up for it. and i exercised my fingers as much as possible, and clicked away every few minutes to come up with about 1000 pictures in all.

a few words to sum up the entire trip.

Lost Cap
Lost Weight
Lost Appetite.

oh yes. I lost a few kilos and was standing at my lowest of 36.5kg. I lost my favourite blue cap (and got a replacement a few days ago to ease the pain). and I lost appetite from.. the bout of flu and other forms of stress.

a very nice place... and i can't help but think if i were to be traveling alone. it would have been a much nicer trip.

Yunnan is naturally nice. click click anywhere and the photos turn out better than expected.

@ Dali. 3 pagodas.



on the bus. reflections from the padi fields.

turned out quite nice through the bus windows.

watching a performance directed by zhang yi mou at 玉龙雪山... which we didn't get to see at all amidst all the clouds and rain.

no yaks no nothing.




@ 黑龙潭

@ 丽江古城
@ 高原湿地 horse riding for the 1st time =D the best activity of the trip... also the happiest of all.

along 茶马古道 (i think i spelt it correctly?) that leads from kunming all the way till shangrila? theres 1 coming all the way from beijing too. the route taken before cars, planes existed.

my horse :) loves galloping. hes cute and good.

taking the boat ride next...


this river connects to 长江. but i cant remember whats it called before it becomes 长江. hahah. too lazy to check it out.

@ tiger leaping gorge. i think the scene is much prettier in winter. with all the snow mountains in view and crystal clear water... instead of the muddy ones we see now.
ferocious waters. one will really die dropping inside. and the poor workers were standing precariously on wooden planks, working beneath us without any support or harnesses. dangerous.

@ shangrila. really a lost paradise.
what fake blue skies these are.

@ the shangrila 古城. people dancing away.


@ 普达措 the most impressive scenery in shangrila. and also standing at the highest of 4000m in altitude. if i had the time.. i would be spending the entire day here.






lack of oxygen at 3800m! haha. after walking for some time.

@ some tibetan village which we didn't alight.

back at shangrila 古城. and the temple.


@ the richest donnoe which race's village.



never seen such pretty lotus!



hes cute!
the fabulous view from our 6 star hotel. ok i rate it 6 star. haha cuz it really should be 6 star.
@ 石林 rocks that used to be under sea.


last day free and easy @ 民族村.





theres a reason for my victory smile. it reads 'finally i'm heading back to beijing'. this trip is way too much for my liking.

and of all places i've traveled to in China, I still like 泰山and 青岛 best. :)
and of all the places i've traveled to in the past 2 years, I still like Korea best.
and of all places i've traveled to in Beijing, erms i cant decide. i like most of them. hahaha.
