Lanterns on the 15th

So how was your Chap Goh Meh dinner last night? Bet it was way better than what I had for dinner. Yes I’m still not over the fact that I had economic rice for dinner on Chap Goh Meh. Partly because my mom would always cook a feast for dinner on that night so eating like this takes time to adjust.

Yesterday was also the first time I’ve seen a Kong Ming Deng (sky latern) up close and also lit one and set it up to the sky. It was really fun!

We planned to gather at a friend’s place at 9pm but it started to drizzle so we pushed it ten minutes later as the rain was just a sprinkle. So 8 of us gathered at rendezvous point on time except one. We waited, called, sms-ed and even went to her place to get her but she couldn’t be reached. In between, we joked and laughed because it has been way too long since the last time all of us gathered like that. I even got chased on foot by one of them because I called her short.

Half an hour and lots of sweat later, we gave up waiting and went to the open area to light up our lantern. First we opened it and spread it on the ground while using some newspaper as a mat for it. Then we all wrote our wishes on it, in Chinese! The horror! Most of them wrote in Chinese and their handwriting is really nice!

The few of us (who are bananas) wrote in English. I wrote ‘我 郑芷颖, wish everyone a happy & peaceful life’.

Lighting the lantern was nerve wrecking because we were so afraid of it not being able to take off into the sky (another group’s lantern didn’t go up but instead went down to the lake) and we’re also worried that the lantern would be burnt before it could take off. Another reason why we were so worried was because our lantern had 2 holes in it and we fixed it cello tape.

So cautiously, we lit it and allowed the hot air to stabilize and inflate the lantern. We were hesitating whether to let it go because there was no wind to help it go up that time and the lantern looks really unstable.

But somehow; in the middle of all the ‘eh, not yet!’ and ‘wait for a while’, the lantern seemed to be fed up of us being so noisy and took off on its own. Obviously, we were dumbfounded but also were really happy that it took off well and went straight for the sky.

We were the last of the many groups there to light up the lantern and everybody stared at it as it kept going up and up. It was really nerve wrecking watching it go as well. I don’t know why, but the lantern was rocking left and right as it went up. We (more like I) shrieked every time it rocked in fear of the fire burning it.

After that, we went for a drink and chit chat until around 11.30pm before going back to our dorm.

This morning, most of us had 8am class and it was Law of all subjects! Can you imagine how hard it was to keep awake in a 2hour Law lecture when you slept late the night before and the subject is boring in nature? HAHAHA!!

Problem?

Seriously, I don’t know what her problem is or if she doesn’t like hanging out with us or anything like that, but her face is really very annoying to look at.

For those who are wondering, I’m referring to one of my friends (coughhousematecough).

I really don’t know what is her problem; she’s like so emo whenever we go out for meals etc. she has that ‘I’m-in-a-really-bad-mood-now-so-don’t-talk-to-me’ look on her face practically every time we go out! And it is really starting to get on my nerves.

And when we do go out (not that we do very often anyway), she would be talking to her family members and leaving the rest of us out and it’ll be just the 3of them engrossed in a conversation and the rest of us we’ll be sitting at the other end of the table talking among ourselves. And if she’s out on her own without her family members, she would be so emo and just sit there with her food and eat in silence. What is wrong with her man?!

I don’t want to ask what’s going on because I know it’s not my place to do so. She’s been like that for goodness-how long already.

Can you believe I had economic rice for dinner on chap goh meh? My holiday mood just went down the drain..

15

It’s now about a month in to our first year in Bachelors Degree and my housemates and I are really drifting apart. Not that I haven’t seen this coming, I just didn’t expect it to happen so easily. Haha

We seldom see one another anymore, rarely have dinners together, rarely sit around the table outside my room and just talk crap. The last time we did that was around a year ago during our first semester in Foundation. After that, we all got too busy to do that anymore.

So seeing how today is the last day of CNY, I’ve made it a point that we all have dinner together despite our classes ending at different times, with mine being the latest at 6.30pm. so we’re going out at 7.

The Rest Shall Remain Unwritten

Hey guys, thanks for all the support this past year.

I've worked hard writing the posts here and I hope that all of you have enjoyed reading them.

Let's take this as history and move on. =]

Tribute

Feeling bored and restless, a friend came up with an idea of making a tribute video to our friends in secondary school. We each made one.

tada~

(if the video doesn't play, it's due to the copy right issues due to the songs used in the videos. click on 'watch on youtube' to watch it on Youtube.)

Enjoy ^^

*edit: can you guess which is mine? haha

Goddess of Food

Happy Birthday to Choi Sooyoung of Girls’ Generation! *jjak jjak jjak jjak jjak*

The one who taught me the importance of humility and also remembering where we came from, always be appreciative of what we have and also being a sporting and cool person. Known as the ShikShin of the group, it literally means Goddess of Food, a person who eats a lot. haha! She is stereotypically portrayed in fanfics to be a person who is crazy about food and her partner in crime would be YoonA, ShikSHin #2! Haha

She's also the tallest among the SNSD members. Standing at 170cm (or so) there is almost a 15cm gap between the tallest member (Sooyoung) and the shortest member (Sunny, 155cm) and she definitely enjoys teasing the dangshins (shorties) in the group. =]

Whenever it’s her turn to sing her part during performances, fangirls go crazy and start screaming their heads off! (I personally find it very entertaining haha)

Happy Birthday Sooyoung ^^

(her birthday is technically tomorrow but I’m posting this early because I’m not sure if I’ll have time tomorrow. Haha)
