Happy Mid Autumn Festival!
Today I went for the outing to a Chinese Tea House organized by my Chinese 3 module. So no Chinese lecture today, and the midterm test which was supposed to be held today, is delayed till next week. Haha happy. Anyway, the trip was quite nice. All of us went to "Tea Chapter" in Chinatown. It's the tea house with traditional Chinese atmosphere. All of us sat on the floor with a cushion (looks like Japanese-type of tatami) then the staff there introduced us to the tea art. Never knew that the Chinese tea tradition could be that meticulous. It needs around 20 minutes to prepare everything (the brewing, etc) before we can take a few sips of Oolong tea. (Yeah a few sips, becoz the Chinese tea cup is very tiny). We're also given a tasty mooncake as refreshment. And btw the lecturer told us that the tea leaf costs 120 bucks! Each of us only paid 4 bucks, though, coz it's mostly subsidized by the Language Center. If u wanna know how the tea tastes, I dun think I can describe. For me, it tastes similar to me with other tea. Hm... maybe I'm not a good tea "taster". But overall, the tea tradition is quite artistic.
Ok so lastly, for those of u who celebrate mooncake festival, 中秋节快乐！Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Btw today is also my 1-month anniv with my bf =)
They Call Me Hey --pt.1
Have just got an idea to write something. I only have a rough idea, still don't know how the story will develop. I just follow how it goes.
My name is Hey. Well, actually it's not my real name. But people just call me that way. And just to tell you, 'Hey' is just one of other various names that I have. When they are angry to me, they will call me 'Stupid' , 'Damn' or even 'Sh**t'. When they need my help, they will call me 'Please'. When they are happy, they will simply call me, as you know... 'Hey'. As you can see, my name is very flexible and dynamic, it changes according to the condition and situation. My real name? I don't think you need to know. Or maybe I just tell you later as you get to know me better.
Graduation - Vitamin C
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change,
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be comming back
No more hanging out cuz were on a different track
and if you, got something that ya need to say,
you better say it right now cuz you dont have another day
Cuz we're moving on and we cant slow down
these memories are playing like a film without sound
and I keep thinking of that night in June,
I didnt know much of love but it came too soon
And there was me and you and we got real blue,
stay at home talking on the telephone, with me,
we'dget so excited and we'd get so scared,
laughing at ourselfs thinking lifes not fair...
And this is how it feels...
CHORUS
As we go on,We remember,
All the times we, Had together,
And as our lives change,From whatever,
We will still beFriends Forever...
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money,
when we look back now will that joke still be funny?
will we still remember everything we learned in schoool,
still be trying to break every single rule?
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye,
Keep on thinkin its a time to fly,And this is how it feels...
CHORUS
la, la, la, la... yeah, yeah ... la, la, la, la
We will still be,Friends Forever
------BRIDGE------
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow? (somehow)
I guess I thought that this would never end,
AND SUDDENLY IT'S LIKE WE'RE WOMEN AND MEN
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Or will these memories fade when I leave this town?
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye
Keep on thinking its a time to fly...
Have just listened to Vitamin C's graduation. This song never fails to touch me and remind me of my old friends. Miss my friends, wondering how they are doing now...
A hopeful beginning
Yeah this is the first time I write a blog. If u think I have nothing else to do, u're wrong. I've got tons of tons of things to do, I wish I had a magic wand to make them disappeared at once. But in the midst of my stressful day, I was inspired by one of my friends. She has just made a blog. Then it struck me, why not make a blog to get a little escape from these hectic activities n a little room for me to throw anything I want. I think I should thank her to let me "steal" her idea hehe.
I used to love writing. At least when I was in high school, I was quite diligent to fill my journal (diary) every other day. Sometimes when I have a "good" idea (well at least, I thought it's good hehe), I would write a short story then sent it to magazines. I was sooo happy when it got published n reimbursed with some penny. I just feel that writing is one of the way to express myself as there are some things that I can't express verbally. That's quite some time ago. Now... I dun even have time to breath. Everyday drowned up with lots of things to do (projects, tests, etc) till I feel like isolated from outside world, lack of entertainment, lack of sleeping, lack of time for myself... That's the risk of being in SoC (my "beloved" School of Computing in NUS). Ask other students in SoC and see who dun agree with me -> those who dun, I'll be glad to share my workloads with them =D
So get back to the basic idea. I make this blog as my so-called escapade for peace (like my blog name suggests). Whenever I feel like wanna write something, either it's just a "rubbish" thing to throw away my stress or it's "more well-written" piece of thought, I'll put them here. I dun know how often I'll update my blog. It depends on my mood hehe. Soo till the next blog, c ya!
