What I want to keep in mind for the weeks to come

[missing]

Flashes of Shanghai keeps coming back. And everytime I'll have this urge and longing to be back there again.

Yet, as with all other illusions, I wonder if I'm just missing the times spent and the memories that were craved out. Or do I really miss the place and whatever it brings (those unchangables).

Conclusion: Both? I guess I do miss the things that Shanghai brings--the food, the weather, the walking around, the unique and different culture. It's different. And having stayed there for 6 months, I'm pretty proud to say that I can be a tour guide to you! and go to places where the locals go, where it's not so touris-y, where there are cool stuffs. and at least i know where to get some stuffs that I need.

Well, I miss Huangpi nan lu, I miss shan xi nan lu, I miss zhongshan gongyuan...I still remember the road names and the station names and a memory of how to walk when I come out of the station. Oh well.

I miss the times with my friends there too. All the walking around, the eating, the spending time together, the exploration of places, the talking...all those fun, both with the people I'm close too and those that are not. I miss them. And I miss those times spent together.

Oh well. Shanghai. It'll always be part of me now.

[down lately]

Guess the title says it all. Yes, I'm down lately. Especially when the first day of school didn't start good. Neither did the first week of school end well. I totally didn't like this week. And I didn't like what I'm facing. And I don't like what I WILL be facing. Okay. I know the last phrase sounds really wrong and I shouldn't be afraid. But yeah, I have a feeling that this is going to be stuck with me for a while. Quite a while. Unless I have willingness and strong determination...

Btw, sideline note, this is my 600th published post! =)) Cheers!

[with thoughts all over the place]

I see couples everywhere

I met my ex-boyfriend today

My whole world has rocked and shaken

I hate what I'm facing now

I hate it when whatever that is happening to you has to affect me

I'm pining and living in my past world

And I know things will never be the same again

When will my work be done so that I can go back home? I want to leave

[quote from my friend]

It's always difficult coming to the conclusion that you need to deny yourself and let go to let God.

What a struggle.

But what a statement for today.

[back to...(continued)]

I just realised I can add on to my list! So here goes:

Back to...
wearing sleeveless (arms do feel super weird)
wearing dresses and skirts (yay! no more 2 layers of pants)
blogging again (inspiration's coming)
seeing rain (wow..it's been so long since I last saw rain)
speaking English when asking for service

On all smiles now!

Was watching Glee yesterday and came upon this phrase: common interest is the way up to romance. Interesting and true. Common interest. Yeah. There got to be a common interest to keep things going. Let's evaluate! ;)

[back to...]

It's back to...
seeing green trees again
a clean city
not always rummaging my bag for a packet of tissue paper before entering the toilet
a familiar neighbour
knowing where to get what I need
a cosy house
my own bed
my clean study (which starts to pile up with my messy stuffs now)
a warm and welcoming family
awesome friends

It's good to be back in Singapore. Really a good feeling. When I stepped into the house on the evening of 6 Jan, I suddenly feel a wave of confidence. I was just about to give up hope on my spiritual walk, but there was a surge of hope given to me as I took that first step into the house.

Somehow, the physical environment makes a difference in me. I know it sounds strange but it's true. That was what I felt. And it's a good feeling. Looking forward to getting my feet up again! (:

I had a surprise welcome by my friends at the airport! Here is the photo!

And my sis gave me a nice welcome into our room too! With rose petals on the bed and giving me one stalk of rose! What I love! =) Thanks sis!

Finally, my first local meal the next day! Chee Cheong Fun and Nai-Cha! At Tiong Bahru market with parents! Yums! =)

[I miss you]

Up until now, no one knows this much about me, except you. Up until now, no one sees the other side of me in such a short time, except you. Up until now, no one can understand where I'm coming from, except you. Up until now, I realised that you know ALOT about me, much more than any other person.

I miss you very much. So much till I just tear in bed. Although I know you'll never chance upon this, I still want to say that I miss you.

I often wonder if you feel the same way too. But I never got the courage to ask. I'm afraid of the answer though the question is on my mind. As we are miles apart, may tonight be a time of reflection. As scenery surrounds you; wonder and amazement, I hope I'll be somewhere at the back of your mind. Just as you are at the back of my mind, as friends surround me.
