I have a new accessory that money can't buy. A mosquito hicky anklet. I'm like a maniac scratching away, all thanks to my idea of wearing three quart pants to Lamma Island, sort of HK's Pulau Ubin equivalent. Nice. I'm proud of Singapore's internationally known product of Tiger Balm, man, do I need a jar right now.

Amazingly, another session of badminton left me still slightly achy, but somehow better. HK is a land of weirdos, just saw an old man dressed all in leapord print. Was so dumbfounded that I couldn't get a snap in time.

Had a session of badminton with my old man on Tues, leaving me an aching mess. I feel like a piece of refridgerated gum. Tight, tough, and NOT stretchy at all. You should just leave me alone and let me nua til I'm fine. One more session of badminton tomorrow. Hell awaits. My dad had already taken two weeks off work simply cos he had to clear leave. Thanks to that, I suffer. He doesn't let me sleep in, irritates me for using my laptop with my room lights off, makes me go for MORNING badminton sessions...... all this, while he merrily goes shopping everyday. He's like a typical girl, buy some stuff and MUST show me when I'm so damn tired and just want to space out. All those electronics. Haha. But well, I know I would be the one who ends up benefiting from the extra gadgets, so well, TAHANN!!

(PS. If I do not make it through the badminton, please remember me lovingly.)

Strange man sighted outside Watson's along Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. Opened my sedated eyes.

It was 25 deg today! Good news to me! False alarm. It would fall back to 14 deg tomorrow. Dammit.

Saw a fashion crazy girl today. Since it was 25 deg, i only wore a long sleeve t shirt, but that woman wore a thick coat with fur trimming. She siao or what. Maybe she's just misinformed. Girl, you need a new meteorology source.

Good day at school work. First ever compliment for drawing. Strange feeling to have done it. Very surreal. Angela and Del would be shocked I know. Especially since it was human figure sketching. I think it was luck. Nevertheless, I would have been beaming and bouncing around the place.

Past tense makes sense of it all. Have I grown insensitive to simple pleasures or am I just thrown too high in my own excitement. Of course, not for the 14th, but for the 15th. I see the technical one year, but also feel guilty for my large absence not just as right now, but for the past months. But I get down, so down when I sensed what would have been to end the conversation. Just like that? I felt like we barely spoke. Or have important dates just become unimportant? Or is it just me. Just, just me. I'm still really grateful for my boy but I cannot help but wonder on the other side of my world. I am so afraid of one sidedness, or rather that things are so big to me but so minute to the other. I need to be expressed to.

Feeling small,
outsized by anticipation.
Out of my body
looked back at what remains

A small shell
darkly overcast by expectation
Of what was to come,
what indeed?

What was the pre requisite?
what gift to present
what words to speak

Of course, of course
too naive to believe
That distance can actually be ok.

I'm being guilty of being too lazy to type once again. Haha. Well... To summarise what has happened in the past weeks. I had a hair cut, may room was invaded by my mum and now clean and tidy(!), and I finally watched the movie by Jet Li, Fearless, and I had MY FIRST CANTONESE PRESENTATION!!!

Well, haha sorry for my pretentious photograph, but I would say I'm pretty happy with my HK$150 haircut. Which is normal priced by far east standards, but to my dad, can raise the dead and feed the poor.

Well then as for my room... it's a little ruffled since I just got home. When it's tidier in the morning, I will get a shot, then show off, while it lasts. Hahaha. I'm home from my movie, which was great! Liked it, but I don't like having to deal with the sad parts with out my human support cushion. I won't talk much about my cantonese presentation.... it was...... bumpy.

The thing that has been taking up the most of my thoughts and happy moments was my web cam conversations. It's odd, like it helps cos I can see my boy, but it also makes me wanna kick myself when I realise that I can't reach out and touch the image, nor feel its warmth. Neither was I going to be anywhere nearer that figure, unless May has come. Time has got to move faster.

Today's the fourth day of new year, as it's still in the boring trend of being at home. It sucks that my brother actually has friends here to chill with. I, on the other hand, am being a home person. For a couple of reasons though, one to preserve my image in my mum's heart. haha. Two, to save money(bad ang pow collection this year). Three, cos my lazy ass refuses to budge.

I wish I had more interesting things to say, but since I pretty much don't have and cannot be bothered to create a life here, it would pretty much be drabby stuff. Til I get my ass out of my house though, since it's so melodramatic here, I may see weird stuff going on again.

Well on a higher note, Billy seems keen in saving up to come over ( I'm the one guilty of leeching up his resources for my month in Singapore) Seeing his actually being serious about it makes me happy, but now now, let's not get our hopes high shall we. Otherwise, I would be low low low towards May despite getting to go home.
