谢谢你的雨

你的雨让空气瞬间变像是人所应该呼吸的空气。
空气冲进我鼻子,渗透了每个细胞,我活过来了。

武汉,突然间变得美丽。虽然说我住在这13楼高的半腰,但放眼望出去,视线所能看见的都很清晰。来这里的几个月的时间似乎从来没有现在来的更清晰,更迷人。我就在我门口,就这样默默地站上了30分钟,看看“景色”,观察走进宿舍楼的那个绿砖路上的人,手上捧着一杯热的立顿红茶, 天气又变得舒服了。

然后,坏消息。他没来。他所承诺的算是什么?我不忍又对男人心灰意冷。虽然地震中心不在我这儿,但余震的伤害不容忽视。算了,至少余震中的人恢复的比震中央的人快。

抛开其他不说i,就让我们为即将归去的时间舞蹈。但切记,舞蹈中要带着之前训练时所酝酿的感情。

可遇不可求

this would be one in a lifetime experience. i didnt get to raft but i exchanged it with another experience that i think that made my life and my immersion in China much more valuable. rafting, perhaps another time.

i guess oral dictation would be better to relate what exactly happened. but definitely, after this ordeal, you'll treasure whoever and whatever that you have in my 19 yrs (applies to me) of your life. not that i was afraid to die but it would be a pity to die so early before trying out other things.

but damn my body which fails on me whenever there is something important to do.

can see, can see, can see what's behind the white waters?

and i am going to do this here, in C-H-I-N-A. going off to Yichang tommorrow for some adventure. quite exciting but yar, in case anything happens, refer to my Mount Lu post.

oh ya, exams are over. i think its a milestone that i might bid adieu to my education of 19 years. because i think i wont be pursuing my studies anymore further and it ends in the note of 《庄子》,《孔子》,《孟子》,《诗经》,《左传》,《楚辞》,《战国策》,《国语》. the highest level of chinese language i suppose. 我修炼成佛了,哈哈!can bring my scriptures back to Singapore and preach.

so when i go back, its attachment and then i graduate, work, get married, give birth, feed the kids, feed my kids' kids then die. wow, so much for my life that i lived for.

你这个王八蛋

被放逐在寒冷的边际
去学习暧昧不清不是甜蜜
——放逐爱情 解伟苓

陌生的面孔匆匆略过
感觉每张脸都是你的轮廓
——我走以后 张靓颖


你只是不晓得,我的逞强是要放开你,让你有足够的地方翱翔。
你那天的话,像棘枝。为什么要回来扰乱?
玩游戏,奉陪。感情,免谈。

因为你走的那天,我带上了人生的面具。
直到我想拿下来为止,谁也妄想掀开。

也不行,因为你没资格。

the garden that i once visited and stayed for a long time when i was 11

it was with shooting stars. which is why they called it meteor garden.

haha. xingkong brought me back there again to the place i once indulged myself in. i could still remember how much in love i was with F4 back then which makes me cringe at the thought of it now.

Jerry Yan, totally a juicy tender meat to paw on, Zai Zai who is someone whom you wanna shower your care for and admire secretly, Vanness who would definitely make a good party-fun kaki and Ken who would be that someone honest who would listen to you. haha, that's my image of them when i was younger. i use to buy those shiny sticker-cards at the mama shop nearby my old residence and collect them.

now looking back at those classic scenes really brought back a million thousand pure innermost feelings i had then. but as i watched the show now, i realised how much i have grown and how much my mentality has been thawrted by dirty reality and it felt bad. everything that seem so natural back then seemed so "acted" now. but one thing that haunts me now and i never feel ashamed of is the show's OST. its where i knew my playlists all time classics like 情非得已,我要的爱,Honestly I Love You, Settling, Loving You, Perfect Moment, Love of My Life, Never Fall In Love Again, And I Love You So.

oh ya and the fashion sense *smacks head, "long bia"*

but nevertheless, i really appreciate xingkong and expect for 7-9pm every weekdays now.

HANYANG

我爱汉阳
pictures soon.

老娘最近要去拜访朱自清,北岛以及诸多先秦诸子们。
拜访完毕就是放纵的时刻了,哈哈。预祝我庆功愉快 (:

有钱又怎样?

败家,咳。。。
ate sashimi the other day with set dinner and blew 60 over RMB at kurahashi. not only that, i have been drinking alot of breezers and tsing dao as well.

korean cuisine for dinner later, cant wait. i am gonna drown myself in kimchi! got a few programmes lined up this weekends as well since all that has to be done is done *rubs hands and gleams*

i miss listening to class 95fm, especially on any moving vehicle. how much solace and joy it gave me during my 138 rides back home and also on uncle rabbit's car.
not forgetting, on his car when we drove around aimlessly just waiting till the programme ends at 1am and then we decide to go home
.


i cant fucking wait to get my ass home, i guess all of us.

grand-mère

i went out for dinner with 小猪猪 and J today, its one of the occasions where we would have dinner together. so while 小猪猪 went home, we walked home as well and there were this group of women in front of me.

this group of women had whilte-greyish hair, walked slowly, had wrinkles on their faces.

J and i walked behind them and soon enough we overtook them. just when we overtook them, i looked up and realised how much i miss my grandmother.

Mount Lu 28-30 May 2009

right, mount Lu updates. this trip is definitely better than the beijing's one. i get to breathe ample of fresh air and immerse in the natural works of mother nature. and mountain trekking really works you up. although most of the time we were down-trekking, but those stairs are bloody steep and small, you miss one step and you will go tumbling down like dominoes. dont think gong down steps is easy. after i came back from mount Lu, my legs took 3 days to totally recover from the soreness. but for all the fresh air and beautiful scenics, its worth it.
well, pictures!
the first night at Jiu Jiang was damn comfy. we took 4 hours to travel there but the whole busride was enjoyable seeing greens everywhere. checked into Green Tea Inn which is super awesome. comfortable yo.

collagehotel2.jpg
after checking in, we were brought to have dinner outside and later roomie and i decided to take a walk outside to see how Jiu Jiang is like rather than go back to the hotel. it was Dumpling Festival here in China, so the streets were rather empty by about 8pmplus. guessed all of them stayed home and eat dumplings. roomie and i had a craving for mac so we decided to call the delivery. BUTTT we were rejected based on the reason that they were busy in the shop. China's like that, or else they will either say that they've taken your orders and then take donkey years to reach you.
night scene of Jiu Jiang.

so roomie and i decided to be good girls and we watched tv till 12am before KO.

2nd day, rise and shine at 5plus 6plusam which is good because the moment we got down to the Inn's dining area, the crowd was alrd building up. some who came late got to stand at the lobby to have breakfast. but breakfast was decent, THOUSAND TIMES BETTER THAN BEIJING'S.
and off we went, to the mountains. THE RIDE UP WAS @#$%^&*()!?. 396 SHARP CURVES. so imagine the whole half an hour ride up from the bottom to the top was bloody uncomfortable with multiple endless turns and turns. when we reach mount Lu, we had to keep changing buses to go from one place to another, they call it the "环保车" but it just looks like any other normal buses. we check into the hotel and this time this hotel really is disgusting, especially the toilet. but due to the high levels of humidity, there's nothing the hotel can do also.

chuck our luggages aside and off we went. this time, let the pictures talk. in fact for such scenic places, its only when you are there then you will be able to feel the beauty within. 2nd day was a pity because everywhere is damn foggy so we didnt get to see alot of things that is beyond the cliffs. yar, i couldnt see the valley from the top which is a pity, how exciting would that be if we could!

see the circled part below, it the cliff of another beside us, if you stare hard enough though. you really must be there to see it to experience it.
cliff.jpg
that marks the end of day 2. the time we take to trek from one place to another is the main highlight, the journey there was horribly long. not a very fatastic 2nd day but satisfying.
while waiting for the environmentaly friendly bus to come. roomie took my candids, dont suit my image leh, like little girl. i was actually looking at the insects but my hair was blocking my view so i had to hold it like that.
staring at mylegs
after this was dinner and then off to replenish the energy needed tommorrow to climb down the mountain.

3rd day rise and shine also at 5amplus. had breakfast but was not good.
3rd day1
3rd day 2
we took a cable tram down a little to the place that we were supposed to trek down from. and it was fucking painful for my legs due to the over-trekking the previous day. as you descend from the steps, you could feel all the muscles on your legs dancing and prancing around.
3rd day3
3rd day4
3rd day7
3rd day6
and you see this crazy man wondering around the cliffs just to take picture of the waterfall. but its definitely worth it. and this "three-tiered waterfall" is really one of the best scenic spots and worth all the muscles aches that i had suffered.
after all the looking and enjoying the waterfall, we start to descend 900m down to our pit-stop to take the bus home. and we saw this 2 crazy man doing stunts on the mountains, GOODNESS GRACIOUS.
3rd day5

alright, till then, say bye to beautiful Mount Lu!

Siboney

i am done with 2 very heavy assignments already and for the past one week i have not been sleeping well because i was really very cooped up with a million thousand thoughts of how to go about writing these 2 mini thesis paper. i did it and i am proud of myself because i think this time i put my heart into it.
and true enough, when i got the last one down, i could get to sleep peacefully throughout till the next morning. and i spent my friday afternoon till night doing things that i think i got to do.

recently was it because i really looked beyond over the relationship amongst people that i begin to feel like i am 庄子. i would just prefer to let things go naturally and not really gotta have to do anything about it. but something else is still hanging on my heart.
and all i wanna say is, we are all in no place to judge people. NO PLACE. you me him her whatever, we all do not have the right to judge people.

lisa ono's siboney seem so melodious now. she's just doing a cover of it, the original version is from Connie Francais. and now, subsequently, i love her songs.


Siboney [Danzónete] - Lisa Ono

its sexy, aint it? i miss the red wine, hi fi, windy living room and english books back home. tomorrow 801 is going to cook and we will have a guest to join us.
with that, i will come back with photos. enjoy the song if you are patient enough to wait (:

我们一起喝了酒,敞开心胸说说话,聊聊天。

这几天来确是睡得不好,就算睡了也好像从来没睡过,所以精神状况差到极点。每天就好像行尸走肉的上学,下学,赶作业。

现在,喝了酒,大声地和你说说话,放松一下紧崩的心情,即将蹦上床,好好的睡一觉。

期待来临星期一一起去唱歌,是啊,是该好好的唱唱歌啦。

只能告诉你:朋友,释怀吧,没必要让他们破坏你这剩下的一个月。他们走他们的黄泉路,我们过我们的独木桥。谁从今以后也不犯谁。他们要继续这样子咬着说就由他们吧。嘴巴长在人家的身上,我们也无法控制。只要对得起自己,就可以了。

很想很想——回家。

back, back with a lighter heart

老娘探险回来啦!

the air is so much fresher over there. and its amazing witnessing the works of mother nature. photos are everywhere, will compile and share as soon as i am free.

now that i have taken in ample fresh air, i hope my brains can function better and work for the 2 heavy assignments that is due this friday. 2 damn bloody essays, grrr.

i am so full after eating pi dan porridge, 1 egg tart and 4 mini char siew bao, but its the combination of my breakfast and lunch and hopefully dinner.

and i miss NIGHT SAFARI. i miss interacting with people from every corner of earth and seeing cute ang mor babies, handsome ang mor man, busty ang mor women, dirty ter-ko peks, desperate pros (who will come with ter-ko-peks), weird and bizarre people. working there exposed me to all sorts of people and then coming here to China, i met more. so these 2 years has got to be one of the most important moulding platform for me. and not to mention, the great companionship over there and the thrill of counting money (i can count money at a lightning speed yo!)

now that i am nearing to the end of my immersion here in China, and when i go home, i will have 2-3 months of break (combining last sem and this sem, so you can imagine for how long have i not been resting) and i am already thinking of what to do when i get home. maybe i will leave the first 2 weeks in getting myself familiarised with Singapore again, meeting friends, going to places i wanna go, eat eat eat. maybe a stayover at my cousin's for a night or two, or maybe fly to aussie to visit my few cousins there or take a ferry to indonesia to that kelong resort and look for my uncle there. what else can i do before going for attachment?

well, after the all the big hoo-ha here, i am glad that i am on my own, going wherever i like doing whatever i want without having to follow the mass. yes, i may have lose out alot hanging out together with you guys but i have gained and learned new things from others now that i am a solitary.

and so many things dawned me when i am out of thee, living with thyself. 致橡树.
