Hello dear blog. If you are a person, I'm sure you'd hit me for abandoning you for so long!! I know and I've always been reflecting *giving solemn look* oh well, anyway this blog is pretty much for me to talk to myself as I'm sure no one follows this anymore. What with all the new technology e.g Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr etc. and I still can't believe a part of my childhood is no longer existent - MSN! Omg, what am I going to show my kids in future?? That tool that once carried so much hopes and laughs and tears and gossips! The thing that I'd auto log in to check ppl's status, personal message and also to take care to appear online or offline. Haha, good times seriously! It was also then where girls are used to writing letters to each other and HTHT through words. And now? Can't believe I am already 21! When I was young, I'd always lie in bed thinking what and how I will be when I'd reached my several milestones in life - 16, 18, 21. It's really not what I pictured. But when do things turn out as expected anyway? In this 1.5 years that I had last posted, many things happened (obviously). Had lost many things and gain some too. Never really thought of whether they offset each other or if one side weighed more than the other. Been through an emotional exam period. Bet it's the stress that sets it off - looked through many things that I never do, thought about many useless and affecting things. Most importantly, I felt like a part of me left me but I wasn't sure what until recently. I realised my optimism was gone, the thing that could hide away so many things that I do not want to see was gone. It made memories flood my mind when I least needed them to, and worse, when I am at my most defenseless. Well, at least I know it found its way back to me! Just nice when I am left with one last paper! Coincidence? I think not. I hope I won't need to go through that ever again! It was really bad as I hate the feeling of helplessness, like I needed saving. I don't. I really believe even if I have to grow old alone, I won't mind as long as I had at least travel the world once and then I'd just immerse myself in the wonderland of romance novels and movies. Of course, in my vision, I'd always be in this beautiful white house, more specifically, a single-storey bungalow with a pond and a porch. Oh! And a swing! Then, instrumental music plays as I read. Naturally, all the better if there was another person there WITH me. I'd always pictured him sitting across me along the sofa and enjoying the peace as I do. But even if there is not gonna be someone there, I think I'd still do fine. Well, I digressed quite a bit.
Back to updating my life since last year. At least 3 sems had passed. This sem really seemed more lonely than previous ones. My really good friends went exchange overseas and one had internship so that brought down my friends available for ranting and sleepovers and study sessions. Lucky I always have a bunch of awesome people that's always there for me to accompany me when I need them. But well, it'd still be better if my friends hurry come backkkk. Missed them so much. Doesn't make it better when my bestie rejected studying with me a few times. Even when I told her I needed to study outside (preferably not alone) and that I don't usually ask ppl for favours unless really necessary (AKA desperate)! So quite bummed out there.
Moving on to less depressing stuff like my current LOVES - (1) Linda Chung! Omg she's so pretty and such a great singer and sctress!! I can never skip her song halfway when it comes along in my playlist and I pretty much caught every show she acted! Can see her improvement and awesomenesssss! Really love her! Went HK the other time but too bad she didn't had any public event (which seems quite often in HK) (2) SNSD! Still loving them! Went to their concert once. Had a blast! It was my first ever concert and it was so worthy to see them. Just hope they make their korean comeback soon. They are concentrating on Japan market too much *sad* (3) Once Upon a Time (US Drama) with an awesome storyline! Love how they fit all fairytales together and the way the stories unfold! But this week's episode was cancelled with NO WARNING! Like once a week wasn't enough torture! Likewise to HIMYM and TBBT, I can only conclude that there must be some public holiday over there. But still, nooooooo. (4) Regency romance! In the familiar form of Jane Austen. Never tired of these classic tales. Been re-reading Elizabeth Aston's novels on post-P&P which are as charming as Austen! And Wen introduced me to this online book buying site that ships worldwide. Which allowed me to find...Aston's books! *fan scream* Last holiday, I watched this webcast in one sitting - 'Lizzie Bennet Diaries' which as its name suggests, is a retell of P&P just that it's set in the Modern world with the complement of technology and the likes. It took 6h to watch back-to-back and imagine me start watching at 11pm. Yeah, I know. Currently, I am catching a biweekly webcast by the same creators as LBD, it's called 'Emma Approved' which is a retell of Emma. Loved the cast too, just some reservations about the Harriet actress. She seems to overact, in my opinion. Make me worry for her LOL. (5) More dramas! On the korean note, been catching 'Future Choice' and 'Heirs' all by actors I like! *fan-girling* As for HK dramas, I got hooked after spending 1.5 days at my cousin's house for supposed studying. They are showed on Ch 855 at 8pm and 9pm. How can one not watch 2 in one go? It's just too tempting. The 8pm one I don't really know the title but the 9pm one is 'Triumph in the Skies II'. I'd only just caught it in the evening.
I guessed that's pretty much everything I am addicted to now. Apparently they are all mainly female dominated. Don't ask me why. Haha. Oh I can't believe I forgot to mention, I went US during the summer to study and pass-fail 2 mods! The total expenses went up to $10K! I know, not a small sum. I can still remember the feeling when I first arrived. The feeling was so surreal. It's like living in a movie. I guess ppl who lived there all their lives won't be feeling this way. Studied at UCLA, went to Disneyland (first time ever!) and the school is located at this neighbourhood - Westwood Village. Apparently many movie premieres happen there! Walked by 2 premieres in the short time I've been there! And I keep hearing this fellow school mate who said David Beckham brought his kids to UCLA field to kick soccer and Britney bringing her boys to stride along Westwood Village. OMG. I know, but these news always arrive belatedly, which means - no, I never saw them AT ALL. Depressing. But there is a reason why these stars frequent there. Beverly Hill (the super high-class place where many stars stay because it's near Hollywood) is just next door, which in US terms, is like 45mins bus ride away. We always go shopping at this place - Santa Monica, which has all these shops gathered in that one stretch of road. And just a few streets down, there is that beach which seriously glisten in the sun! The sand is so beautiful and so is the crazy waves. Any pictures taken there is worth framing! We also went shopping at 2 outlets and made friends with this regular taxi driver Vladimir (yeah he's Russian but he moved to US). We also went to Griffith Observatory which is an actual OBSERVATORY! It's regretful though, as we didn't manage to watch through the telescope! I could die with no regrets if I did! So that pretty much sums up my US trip!
Been blogging to wait for my family to return from the trip they abandon me to go on. And to where? Only the SHOPPING PARADISE Bangkok!! The last I checked they were still at the Duty-Free shop but I think they are otw home by now. Any minute and they will walk through the door and my alone-time will be over! At first I was really upset to be at home alone but after I got used to it, it's pretty cool. Makes me feel independent. And I might be at a stretch here, but it also make me think about how the married ladies in Regency times feel like when they say 'running their own house'. But of course, their house is not just an apartment, it's like an entire household of servants and countless of rooms and also the land in their area. How I'd kill to live a day in their world. Oh, they have a film on that - Austenland, where the lead is also a Janeite (like myself hehe) and gets to live in this world built to relive Regency times where of course everyone inside are hired to act their roles. Like acting within acting. LOL.
Ok, I think I gotta sign off now. FYI, I finished 4 papers by now. One of my more packed sems. *Gulps* Not to mention brain frying. I will be back. No, don't even doubt it. I will!
