Showering with Updates

Someone said this to me some time ago:

"You know that feeling when you try to recall if you have showered for the day then you feel so relieved that you have so you don't have to shower again?"

*pause*

"Oh it's you, of course you don't. You're a freak; you shower all the time."

HOW CAN SHOWERING BE A CHORE? :/

Bathing is one of the best parts of the day!
(almost on par with meal times)

Warm water running down your bare skin,

the fragrance of shampoo filling your nostrils

the pretty bubbles from all the foam,

that clean feeling you get as you wash soap off your body

then that feeling of rejuvenation first step out of the shower.

It makes me feel alive...and sound stupid, but alive nonetheless.

ANYWAY.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Quick CNY update:

1. I bought 7 new books to read.

Currently reading Sherlock Holmes: The Ectoplasmic Man.

2. I learnt a lot about my family history.

e.g. My ancestors were driven from the north to the south of China by the Mongolians!

3. I watched Season 8 of Project Runway on Youtube.

Sarah's influence.

4. I bought a typewriter!

It's an Olivetti Lettera 32 and I love it to bits!

5. Exams next month.

Screwed.

Alright, ta! Shower time. :P

Stupid for Smart

I hate being stupid.

I really do.

So I pretend to be smart.

But the thing about pretending to know it all is that you limit your chances of learning.

Now THAT is being stupid.

I don't want to be stupid.

Ergo my New Year's resolution (which I don't normally make...ever):

Behave as though I know nothing to learn everything.

Happy new year. :)

Highlighted and Distracted

Another year whizzed by. Such is a time to recollect the highlights of the year.

1. Transferred from Creative Writing to Biomedical Science.

2. Went on 2 mission trips: Cambodia and Thailand.

3. Learnt to play half of 'Kiss the Rain' by Yiruma.

Honestly, why can I never complete playing at least one piece?

4. Started selling handmade notebooks online.

5. Watched 5 seasons of Grey's Anatomy.

6. Got addicted to 9gag.

which reminds me...9gag and Grey's anatomy.
Sorry, back soon. :P

Happy new year's eve!

Stupidity At Its Best

Tests are coming soon, which means I've got to study every second I can get.

(okay except these few seconds I'm spending on blogging)

So. I read my textbook because I don't fully understand my notes.

After one paragraph, I see this: 

Now I'm thinking: ...............

NO I HAVE NOT LEARNED YOU RUTHLESS LIAR ARE YOU MOCKING ME?

Now I feel stupid.

Kthxbye.

To Jot Thoughts

Currently addicted to making notebooks.

Decided I'd sell them since they aren't doing much good lying on my desk all day.

Who's bonkers now?

I was out on Sunday night when I saw:

(well not exactly, this was ripped off google images.)

Know what that is?

THE CHESHIRE CAT!

 Know what that means?

UNDERLAND (a.k.a Wonderland) EXISTS!

I knew it I knew it I knew it!

Who's bonkers now, loser?

:P

Food for Trot

I've been craving for Korean food for a very very very long time.

So yesterday, I decided to have it for lunch during my one hour break.

The food court was crowded and there was a long queue at the Korean stall.

But my craving made it all worth it.

I scouted for a seat and finally queued up.

I ordered a bibimbap with extra kimchi on the side.

Bibimbap means 'mixed meal' and is a mixture of warm rice, vegetable, meat and egg with delicious sauce in a hot pot.

By the time I sat to eat, I had half an hour left before my next class.

The bibimbap was excellent;
fresh vegetables, golden egg yolk, sizzling meat with delightful sauce.

As I slowly took bite by bite with pure relish, I decided I needed a cool drink to pair my meal with.

I left my less-than-half-eaten-long-time-craving meal and went to get a drink.

It was going to be perfect:

my mouthwatering bibimbap, my refreshing drink and I.

Together, we can rule the world.

But by the time I got my drink and returned, my food was gone.

GONE.

Someone had cleared my food.

THE. HORROR.

I was depressed. Beyond depressed!

I was depressed and hungry!
I was depressed and hungry and boompow frenzied!

Oh the nerve!

I was so unsatisfied that I had it again for dinner....at 4pm...right after class.

Now I'm all happy and bouncy flouncy. :)
