ginger steps.

hello hello! i'm done with my finals yesterday (: so this is gonna be a rather long post.

actually the papers were quite badly done this time, but i shall not think about them anymore till maybe the night before the grades are out, heh. i just hope that all the late nights of buddha feet hugging can pay off at least a bit. dad and mum usually sleep quite early, so during these nights when i studied at home, sometimes i would feel a little bit lonely. i guess that's the thing about being an only child, though at the age of 20 19 i should be very used to it already. at first i would turn to the radio, but it seems like the radio nowadays likes to play sad songs much more than last time. and listening to the sad songs would make me sad -.- zzz. so i stopped listening to radio and so all the nights were just shared with my notes. and occasional phone calls too, but time was so precious you couldn't even afford long-hour phone calls haha. and i keep on telling people that the amount of work that i've done for the past two weeks is like more than what i've done for the entire sem. lol is that a good or bad thing.

anyway i was reading my past entries. this is what i wrote on this day last year:

[insert definitely, maybe's youtube]
wanqing's work ended early yesterday so we watched this movie together. in the movie the girl called april said that she first read jane eyre when she was 13, and later on in life she read it over and over again and each time she learnt something new. i read the book when i was 13 too and now i suddenly feel like reading it again hahaha x)

and i look back at the past one year- i've actually managed to take jane eyre off the bookshelf, placed it beside my bed for about a week or so, opened the book once or twice during that period (but can't remember reading anything), and put it back to the bookshelf. hah. i realise i'm really bad at following my so-called great and noble resolutions. like i used to say that i wanna 'do lots of cip and contribute to the society'? haha. that day oscilla came to my house and asked me what is cerebral palsy, cos their school was bringing them to visit the cerebral palsy centre. and then i was trying so hard to think of the most appropriate words to explain this kind of..handicap to the 9-year-old girl, without letting her know the harsh truth behind it all. and then i realise i get carried away too easily by my daily skin-deep concerns. there's so much more than just all those, really.

anyway, it was ben&jerry's free cone day on tuesday! chuchu and i were queueing for our free cones at white sands last year and the year before, but not this year because 1. white sands' ben&jerry is no longer around ): and 2. we were busy with our own stuff at other parts of the island. haha junyang did you get your free cone this year? :p

but but but! i still have the photos that i took from last year's free cone day!

did you realise that they say 'love is giving', and not 'love is giving and taking'. hah.

and and! look at what i received before going back to hall that day!
i was wondering where the card came from, would it be london or australia, then dad noticed the stamp from taiwan. haha who else but zixian (: thank you my dear!

ok gotta go! blog more next time haha.(:
