2014 came and went. On the last day of the year, Xy texted me in the afternoon saying that she was bored, so I invited her over (but it's not like there's any party going on at my place lol). We were actually both scrolling taobao close to midnight when I heard some crazy bonkers cheering and hooting in my neighbourhood did I turn toward Xy and say my happy new year. She was like "okay, happy new year" and we shifted our attention back to taobao. LOL so chill, no wonder we are best friends ~
It has been exactly a month since my last paper, and I'm still pretty much in that 2014/2015 in-between limbo aka THAT slash, so a little round-up of december before I bade 2014 farewell and truly, consciously step into the new year. Or does 'leap' sound better ..... more driven I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For starters, I got myself an iBanking device which meant I doughnut needa make my way to ATMs for funds transfer anymore. I could literally hear Xy from wherever she was scream a FINALLYYY. And then on course registration day, I was supposed to be in front of the laptop by 930am ready for STAR WARS (it's star WARS for a reason, fastest fingers first when it comes to your major electives). What I did was to miss my alarm and only woke up at 11am!!! I still had to help Sis with hers since she was overseas. With a kind of self-loathing dread (I was like wtf am I really doomed to be like this forever I can't even wake up in time for such an important academic thingy ajgkdstcfk ...) I logged into Stars Planner on both laptops to add our preferred courses into Stars and guess whattttt all our choices got registered by the system, save for the unrestricted electives which don't go by the fastest fingers first rule. I mean, the registration process for the past semesters weren't even this smooth! I almost wanted to pat myself on the back groggily, but instead I went back to sleep hahaha year 4 rawks!!
I joined postcrossing. Postcards are cool, period. And I bought a lot of indie zines online. This zines obsession is totally making me broke, but I swear I'm gonna spend my money on zines supporting independent creative individuals than on overcharged pastas from now on. Also, the other day Sis and I were at Sistic. We wanted to buy tics for 华艺节's 红楼梦 What is Sex? (<--- that's the title in english) I went "can we have two tickets for 红楼梦?" but this guy at the counter said there's no such programme. Thinking that maybe the english title would come up with a better search result, I politely asked him if he wants the english title (even though I was uhh quite reluctant to say luh). So again, I went "What is Sex?." in this straight-laced manner I swear I saw him give a confused smile, coz shortly after he asked us "how do you spell it?" Wah really burst out laughing okay. Boy, how explicit do you want us to be?! Lol
Anyway, besides catching up with friends over meals in the week leading up to xmas, I went back to being the gym bunny that I am not (coz you know what, that day I saw Bro's friend in the gym and he told my Bro "eh why your sis only cycle" I'm like wtf I also got run right) LOL have I seriously been judged?! Watched Stand by Me Doraemon with adeline omggg it was tooo sad!! There was this part where the adult 大雄 from the future saw Doraemon and his younger self, but he chose not to approach Doraemon who was napping on the bench. Coz by right, Doraemon had alr returned to the future in the adult 大雄's childhood, so seeing Doraemon again is like seeing someone from a long long ago past. But he let the past stay in the past, and I think that broke my heart a little. The ending before the ending also brought forth the tears man. Caught Peter Pan: the Never Ending Story with Xy the next day omggg I wished I had seen that when I was little. It was alr so magical even by my adult standard, the little kids seated there must have thought that they'd been sprinkled with fairy dust. And I can't stop listening to Forever Young!! (Forever young, I want to be forever young / Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever ~)
I think I've written more about moments than any particular events. Would love to blog more consistently so that I won't have to machiam write essays each time I create a new post LOL. But even with this blog post I still cannot find closure for 2014. There's this thing inside me that demands more to be written, but it would feel too bare and raw for the internet, and I don't really put myself out there like that, so I'm gonna write in my journal and we shall meet again when I'm all prepared for 2015 (:
