white Christmas...

Woke up on Christmas Eve with excitement shivering up by bones. Left the rez (residence) at around 12+PM after checking everything and feeding my other unit-mate's fish. (I'm feeding it cuz she won't be there the whole break and asked me to feed it). I hope it survives for the next 3 days or so, before I go back. (Yes, I did tell her through another unit-mate that I would be away for a few days so I wouldn't be at fault if the poor fishy does pass away due to starvation). Anyways, the transportation to Toronto was no way near direct or simple. It involves bus, bus, subway, subway, and a LOT of walking between every transit.

Luckily the hotel is near the subway. So we (me & my friend aka the closest unit-mate..I have five unit-mates btw) finally checked in at approximately 2+PM. The hotel was the cheapest one that is located in downtown Toronto and it was surely worth it. I loved the Victorian styled furnishing. They also used an old-fashioned elevator with a wooden exterior door and cage-like interior door.

The rest of day went like this..settling in, walking downtown, shopping, dinner, Christmas Eve service in St. Paul church (which was b-e-a-u-ti-ful), and ended the night watching a movie with bubble tea and butter biscuits.
.
.
.
.
.
Next (aka Christmas) morning, we woke up at 8-ish to have our complimentary breakfast before checking out. Then, we took the subway to friend's bf's place and was lucky to get a free pass from the ticket guy (Yes, it was very unusual and rare, but he said it was nice to see pretty girls on a Christmas morning and did so). Guess, that's one of the advantages of being a female. LOL.

Spent most of the day in the Pacific Mall, the only one open on Christmas. It is an Asian mall so the place was obviously swarmed with 'em too. You could spot all types of 'em. Yes, I kno I am one too but it just felt kinda odd to see so many Asians after being surrounded with Canadians for months.

I think...

So I went berserk on shopping on my own, at the same time trying to control myself from going crazy and over shopping. Later, had Korean for dinner and reached back with a bloated tummy.
.
.
.
.
.
Spent the final (aka Boxing Day) day in Toronto around Eaton Center and Chinatown. Mega sales on brands + fashion had made its way to the top as my favorite day of the year. It really sucked having to limit myself since i'm just a student who isn't living off my own money. Chinatown wasn't much. The main reason I went there was to get some ingredients, sauce, and food that I would never be able to get back in Barrie.
.
.
.
.
.
Not that great of a story teller myself so it probably didn't sound all that but I had fun.

Lastly, Merry Christmas my friend.

there's so much snow outside I could bury myself...

Yes, it's THAT time again. The moment when your body & mind is free from all life's s***, and all that your five senses can feel or the only thing your mind can think about is the freedom from life's worry + stress.

A BREAK.

Even the dark clouds could not wipe out that joy.

So currently everything that a break consist of is in place...
doing useless things till the am,
movie marathons,
waking up at noon,
staring into nothing,
wondering why you get bored so easily...
now all I need is a SICK trip~!
*No, Sick as in Awesome, NOT puking*

Yes, I'm in Canada. So I'd be sillier than a fool if I don't use this opportunity to explore.

BARRIE. That's the TOWN I'm in. It is boring (down/up)? here. Why did I pick this town then? Well, the simple answer is because I don't trust myself enough to put me in a CITY with temptations in every corner.

So, this is a good opportunity to release myself. What could be better than spending my very 1st white Christmas in Toronto?

Till next update...

someone put leash on my nose...!

December has finally arrived~!!
I can smell the winter break, Christmas and Boxing Day around the corner!!!

Today wasn't that great of a day but it ended on a good term. Skipping all boring details of the hecticness and mind bogglingness of classes/assignments onto my evening.

Tonight is a Wednesday night, meaning there's fellowship! Since Christmas was around the corner we had a small early-Christmas potluck. Even had a gift exchange game. Its too bad someone snatched away my 1st gift, which had christmas tree lights that would've been SO pretty in my room, but in the end I got a diy gingerbread village~ Tho I'm not that big of a fan in eating them, I would definitely enjoy building it and decorating it! and I shall give them to my roommates! haha! That's killing two bird with a stone! XD

Tho I've always liked fellowship, I didn't really feel that I really belong, not only because majority of 'em are Canadians (okae, "all" would be much more precise). But I've always had a tough time opening up to people and took double/triple the time of what most people need to get comfy. I'm also more of a listener than a talker, so that does NOT help.

Anyways, tonight I felt that I got much closer to a few people instead of the usual his and byes. Which made me happy.

We ended the night with a series of funny group snapshot. I shall get them from photographer soon!

growing darkness beneath my eyes...

Have been consistently burning over the midnight oil these few weeks...Now it's just a weekly routine of late weekday nights and passing out on the weekends..and there's approximately 5 weeks left of this repetition before the semester ends...

-----

Winter is just around the corner...Bare trees, and the changing temperature aren't the only proves...

It will soon hit 3 months since the 1st day I arrived in Barrie...Tho it may be fun witnessing the beautiful transformation between the seasons, sometimes the winds here are scary...Been experiencing quite a number of different weathers too..freezing rain, light snow, fierce wind,wet snowflake drizzle, thick fog...

The sun has also been taking off early at 5+PM these days..which confuses me during the 1st few days...

On monday, the 15th, vaccines were available in college so I went and got my very 1st flu shot...I thought it would help my daily morning flu but apparently the shot was only for more serious flus like H1N1, H3N2, and another B strain...Oh wells, I should stick to getting more vitamin C into my system...

Off to feed on LEMONS...

a blanket of white snow...

When I woke up this morning I looked out from my window and I saw a beautiful sight that made me smile. It was snowing gently and everything was covered with a thin blanket of snow. It looked so pure and peaceful that I could resist to be in a jolly mood.

I put on my fur boot , scarf, and thick fur jacket and made my way to college while the sky sprinkled millions of snowflakes on me. I didn't even care that it was freezing my fingers.

-----

It has been a busy couple of weeks but this week was especially tough for me. There was just so much to accomplish in so little time. I'm just so glad that I've overcame it and that I'm able to relax a little during this study week. A week of no classes will do me some good in catching up on some research and assignments.

someone stabbed me..twice...

not literally...but I felt it...

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS...
I have been waiting for almost 5yrs and the GOLDEN ticket was burnt right in front of my eyes! How UNLUCKY can I get! ARGH!!!

A few minutes ago I found out there was a JYJ Luxury Edition album...but it was excessively sold-out during the pre-order...there are only 99,999 limited sets but the pre-order which was stopped before the album's release date when to 300,000! To add on this pain of how impossible it is for me to get it...I found out that JYJ is having a world tour showcase and they happen to have one in Msia!!! This had totally sent me to psycho-ward!

TALK ABOUT FATE!

This has totally pulled a thunderstorm over my day & I think it's gonna stay for a while..and the only way I can rant this out is by typing it out here..

GCF...

Joined the Georgian College Fellowship last night. And it happened to be a movie night.

It was sort of nice to be surrounded with people that has a common faith and this type of gatherings do make me feel my heavenly Father's presence more than usual.

The movie that was put on that night is titled "To Save a Life". It was amazing and during the discussion, after it was shown, made us all realize how it has covered so many aspects of the life of a youth today that they struggle with. From peer pressure, relationship problems to suicide and much more.

That night, I went home with something to think about and a decision to come again the next week.

filled with fascination...

My very 1st field trip to a Design Expo!

IIDEX/NEOCON Canada's National Design Expo & Conference '10~

Tho I had to wake up at 6AM so I could make it for the bus that leaves at 7:15AM, I was too excited to have a good sleep and I ended up waking up at 5AM. LOL.
It was held in the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto, which is a good hour away but thanks to the traffic another hour plus was added.
The expo was great and I walked so much that I crashed on my bed right after I reached the rez (residence). Anyways, I would let the photos do the talking since I'm just too lazy right now. However, the photos are only enough to show maybe 10% of the expo. So yea~ lol. ENJOY.

sailed to another world...

The title sort of explains how I'm feeling now. Basically, everything is NEW to me. It is both exciting and scary.

It has probably been a week since I landed on this other part of the world. Can't say I'm already used to it here but I'm adjusting.

Currently staying in the Green Residence which is probably about a good 7 to 10 minutes walk from college. *Yup, I'll be walking to college everyday* Every unit here is accommodated for 6 people. All my roommates have moved in and it was a little awkward in the beginning but it's improving.

Orientation was okae..nothing more interesting than getting a FREE pizza, coke & t-shirt.

That's for the update.

did you know today is a Dream Day?

I was looking for the date today on my home's calendar and on it was two small words on the date box. - Dream Day - Odd coincidence. I'm guessing it's some sort of special day in a country, which is currently unknown to me.

-----

There were news saying that last night or rather this morning, at around 12.3oam, we would be able to see Mars *yes, the planet..NOT the snack bar* in the dim sky. So my brothers and I waited for it while playing card to pass the time. And SURPRISE, SURPRISE we DIDN'T see anything.

-----

Through everything, the farewells + going to the airport + another farewell + flying + etc, I couldn't feel ANYTHING. Like all my emotions have mixed up so much that I was numb. Didn't like it but couldn't do anything about it either. SIGH...

Guess I'll just wait for ONE emotion to dominate soon.

Let the new journey begin. =)

goodbyes...

"Farewells are often not pleasant,
but it's best if we do it with a positive attitude."

-----

Has been getting A LOOOT of advices recently
and it's been the SAME ones REPEATEDLY.

Tho the repetition is making me BLUE and GREEN,
I took it in quietly with uncountable/systematic nods
cuz I don't want to be mean.

-----

Packing is mostly done. It was more of a HEADBODYACHE than I thought. Thanks to MYSELF. I have NO HABIT of doing yearly cleanings and a HABIT collecting too much unnecessary stuffs. Also I couldn't bear throwing away or recycling stuffs that I don't need or use.

I have learnt my lesson.
Hopefully I won't forget.

humans are so vulnerable..

Humans get sick, hurt, and die easily.
This is way too easy to prove.

My dad's parents owns a shop which has a squatting? toilet.

A couple of days ago, my grandma slipped and fell on the toilet floor on her bump. Thank God she didn't break any bones or has major injuries but her nerves seems to be affected quite badly. It was painful for her even when she is sitting.

After hearing about the news, my dad and I went back to Sarawak for a visit to check up on her and also as a farewell visit to my grandparents from both sides of the family. It was only a short 2day1night trip.

During the visit, we got grandma a support? stick. Those four-legged stick that we often see in hospitals for the weak or old.

Seeing how slow my grandma moves even with the support of the stick was not a comfortable sight. It gave me a strong reminder of how weak humans get after time passes. Tho it is probably too early for me to have fears of growing old but the time that is furiously running without mercy is a good excuse for me to react that way.

I fear growing old and weak more than a sudden death.
That's how I feel now.



- B -

halfway there...

Countdown..21 days left...
Though it still hasn't hit me. I know that I'm halfway there.

Since December 2009, I've been planning for the next step. I did a step by step which has led me so near to the goal I've been dreaming for.

Plan conclusion:
1. Interest > Interior Design
2. Country of my choice > Canada
3. Selection of acceptances > Georgian College
4. Study Permit > Done
5. Residence > In Progress

For now, residence is the biggest question mark. I'm still on the waiting list for the campus residence. It doesn't sound too good but I'm sure it'll be answered soon enough.

I know I couldn't have gone far if I had to do every thing by myself without guidance. Most parent would help their children to plan everything out for them. Of course, mine was different. They will never spoon feed me everything. Which is healthy for me. Though it has been tough but my parents kept pushing me in their own way. Though I was annoyed or sometimes pissed when they criticize, lecture, and scold me. I knew I needed it. It's in my nature to be laid back and lazy. lol

Thanks to them I was able to get to this point on my own two feet. Though that doesn't mean they don't tick me off. It's just that I understand why they have to do what they need to.

Tho I don't hear "I love you" from them but I got the silent message. I hope you got my silent message too, "I'm sorry (for all the headaches, worries, and pain I caused) but I love you too"

blood outta my veins...

Needles have never been something I was fond of.

On the 12-07-10, I went to the High Commission of Canada's office in KL to apply for my Canadian Study Permit.

Last night I received an email from them on an update for my application process. Apparently, I had to collect papers from the office and get a medical check up.

The medical check up consist of urine test, blood test, and X-ray examination, and body check. It was my second time for urine and blood test but the rest was a first.

Before I got my blood test, they told me it was also to check if I had HIV or any kind of STDs. In my head I was like, "okaeee...I don't think I need that" but just nodded my head since I knew it was the normal procedure.

When I saw the needle I got a little nervous. It was slightly bigger than the one used last time. I didn't dare to look as the needle pierced through my skin into my vein. Obviously it hurt more than the one I had before.

For the X-ray I had to put on the one piece for surgery patients. The one which is tied at the back by two strings but could still see some of the back and butt. I was SO glad I got to leave my pants on and also that the examiner? was female. lol

Finally, it was time for me to see the doctor. It was a she, which was a RELIEF. She did a body check from the eyes to the feet. What gave me a shock was she even gave me a check for breast cancer. !@#$%^&*! WTH would I need that for?!? I effin 19 -.-'' Sigh~ I had no choice but to let it go. It was probably a stupid procedure..unless that old female doctor is a perv which is less likely than just about following procedures. At least that is what I tell myself.

When it was over, I was just relieved nothing is wrong and went home leaving whateva memory behind.

Conclusion, I DON'T like medical check ups.

what was that in the dark...

Most people enjoy going to the cinema in a group or with a companion however there are a few I kno who enjoys as much by themselves.

Currently, I am as jobless as one can get. I was at home for far too long and needed some air? So I decided that a movie would probably do some good. However, everyone I kno probably has school, classes, work & what not that is keeping them busy.

Needing to get out a little, I guessed that I should just go ahead by myself. Since I've always wondered why some enjoyed going to cinemas by themselves, I've decided to give it a taste.

Since it was a weekday there was barely anyone catching a movie. I got my ticket, went in, walked to the door of the room for my movie, opened the doors and a slight shiver went down my spine.

I took a quick step back and let the door close by instinct. After a couple seconds, I thought I'm just overreacting. I tried going in again but I couldn't make myself go into the pure black room alone. When I opened the door again for the third time I found a couple of switches at the room wall right next to the door which looked like it was for the lights and it was.

When the dim lights from the sides of the room lit up, going into the room was easier. Right when I went to look for my seat, I saw a figure sitting by a seat nearer the back row. Since I wasn't expecting anyone in the room, I got a shock then was relieved that I'm not the only person around but I wondered how that person could come in and sit in such a dark room by himself. I relaxed after a couple more people made their way in. I put on my iPod until the movie played.

The movie wasn't so bad. Most people said Eclipse sucked so I expected it to be so. Maybe I was expecting worse so it wasn't too bad for me.

Overall, I didn't think the experience was too bad. I wouldn't mind going to the cinema by myself again but next time I might rethink about going during the weekday by myself.

graduation...

It was a sort of celebration.

Excited chattering.
Black long robes.
Red ribbons.
Bouquets.
Students.
Teachers.
Families.
Exchange of hugs & handshakes.

It was definitely a day for the students a.k.a. graduates
to give themselves a pat at the back & say to themselves, "Congrats".

Graduation, a rite of passage, they say.

I have gone over you.

the story of my angels~

If I remembered correctly, it all started when I was at the age of 15 /16?

A couple of close friends had shown me a few of their songs and even their photos. During then, I enjoyed their songs and only for that. A while after, I saw a couple of their MV / PV in a couple of music stores. Somehow it began to create a spark of interest towards them.

As we all kno, YouTube is the "go to" for videos and that's where I searched for more of their MV / PV. Soon, I found videos of them in various TV variety shows. I can't explain how thirsty I was then, for more of it. What attracted me to it was that these shows often made me laugh and their character attracted me even more.

Through the years, I became one of their support and continued to watch and listen to them. They made me smile, laugh till my tummy hurts, tear, and etc. They were my medicine and most importantly my lullaby to calm my nightmares.

Before I realize, I was naturally attached.

A while back, something terrible happened. For reasons that are too complicated for me to type broke them apart. They were all hurt and probably more down than one can imagine. Like a reflex, I was crushed when the news traveled to me.

That is that.

I could only continue to believe in them from a corner far away.



Always keep the faith.

masquerade...♥

Here it comes again, just when I thought my last was over. When I first heard the rumor about a prom for this sem, I thought its just what it is, a rumor. After confirming it was real, I was unsure whether to attend or not. However, in the end I was there.

Masquerade was the theme this time. In the beginning, I felt too lazy to look for something to wear but after a sudden inspiration from Lady Gaga, I found my way to what I wanted. It took some time to complete the look I was going for, but I was lucky since most of the things I found was accidental.

The night was held in the Holiday Villa, by SJMC. The hall was gorgeously beautiful. It has a romantic feel with a touch of ancient Greece / Roman-like interior furnish. The food was good and the performances weren't bad either. One of the most memorable performance was the fire-playing dance. Not sure what it's really called but its the same type of dance lilo's sister's bf did in the hotel. *from lilo & stitch* I have always wanted to watch one of those dances for myself and it came true.

After the night and the picture-taking sessions are over, most of us headed for the after party in M.O.S. Then on, its mostly just about having fun, getting loose and dancing our hearts out on the dance floor.

Reached home in the early a.m. exhausted, but managed to drag myself for a shower that felt nothing but a bliss. Keeping in mind that I've got no choice but to wake up at 6.30am for college, I decided not to sleep or it'll be tough to wake up. However, taking a 5min rest on the bed was a BAD idea. So I ended up falling asleep and waking up was a nightmare as expected.

Thanks to lack of sleep and drained of energy, I zombied through the day but I didn't regret anything because I had a blast.

Carpe Diem.

odd dreams..

Fresh breeze on my skin.


It was a nice evening.
Found myself with you, him, and them;
tho I have no idea who they are.

It was like a casual walk around the park nearby my place.
We felt comfortable with each other,
and had fun chatting about stuffs that I don't seem to remember.
It didn't seem to matter.

I remembered having my jacket on my hand one second and missing it the next, which kinda freaked me out a little.
My eyes scanned around for it until I found the jacket under his head,
who was lying on the grass in a peaceful manner.
You kiddingly scolded him for freaking me out.
I smiled.
He said sorry with a smile.

Then, all I can remember next is how we just enjoyed the company of each other before I woke up to reality.

-----

Few days later,
I had another odd dream.
I couldn't remember anything about it.
Except that there was only you and me.

Whateva happened,
it made me smile when I was brought back into conciousness.

earth hour...

This year, I wasn't at home during the earth hour. Headed to pyramid earlier in the afternoon for a reunion plus belated celebration thingy. While hanging around, I remembered that it was THE day. That's all thanks to all the ads displaying proundly around the mall, silently shouting "EARTH HOUR".

We got curious about how pyramid would be like with the lights turned off, so we decided to stay until THE hour. Suddenly, a few crazy ideas came up like a plan of checking out the Guess stores to eye around for our favorite bags, heels, tops, and such before THE hour. Then, when THE hour comes with the lights off, we'll charge toward the store unseen and sweep away all the goodies we had our eyes on.

Unfortunate in a way, the plan went to waste when the hour that we've been waiting for finally came. To our disappointment the only lights that went off are the lights outside of the Pyramid while the inside remained the same.

Oh wells, at least we had a couple of laughs imagining our wild mission and enjoyed a couple of songs by the band playing outside during THE hour.

happy birthday to me...

Today's the day that added 1 to my 18. Other than that it was pretty much like any other day. Classes go on, assignment flowed in. Oh, did I mention I got my mid-term results today too? I guess I couldn't complain about it. It was just another simple day at college.

Surprisingly, my fb wall was flooded with wishes and I didn't mind thanking each and every single person. Although a wish seems small, simple, and don't cost a penny, it can bring up a smile. Don't eva underestimate it! I smiled quite a lot today.

Celebration was just a simple dinner with the family.

growing up...

When we were little, we looked forward to our next birthday and wished we could grow up faster, thinking about the bigger freedom we can possess. As we grow older, we wished time could go slower and slowly, we begin to start wishing not to grow older because we know that growing older means we will have to give up our childishness to take on responsibility and be more mature. We had to think before acting more and more. Sometimes, we just fear losing our youthfulness.

I know that I haven't reached an age to start complaining about getting older, but something in me felt that way. I craved for more freedom since young and I still do, but a certain fear of growing older started appearing. Since it started until now, I'm still debating with myself about its reasons. Maybe, it was because I was a little afraid of reaching an age which would cause me to stop thinking about doing stupid things like breaking some rules, acting like idiots with a couple of friends, having the ability to come up with wild things to do or maybe I just didn't like the idea of carrying bigger responsibilities. Have you ever seen an adult and thought to yourself that I don't ever want to grow up to be like him/her? Maybe it might be something like that.

Who knows what we would be like in 3, 5, 10 years? I guess I'll end with that thought for you to ponder on. Sweet dreams.

hidden in the shadow...

It started with exchanges of awkward "heys"...
everyday classes...
group work...
simple chats...
laughs.

Then one of 'em grew fondness...
unable to push the thoughts of the other away...
but tried to stay a close distance away...
to avoid the other from growing fond too...
because one know it would hurt much more...
if both grew fond of each other...
then having to part later...
because soon they will be more than half the world apart...
due to thier future plans.

one decided to keep the fondness hidden in the shadow...
so the other will never know or ever get hurt.

up!...

Tonight,

CIMP prepared a movie night starring the movie "Up", selling the tickets (and also some snacks and drinks) to add the amount of money earned to the collection of money raised to help Haiti. Though it was my second time watching the movie, I still loved it. It was really fun watching it together with everyone as we laughed together through the funny bits. Before the movie was shown, a short 30 minutes special magic show was prepared by an experienced magician. Overall the night was filled with laughter, and I believe everyone went back with a smile on thier faces. I know I did.

curiosity...

This weekend I kinda made a new friend. Well, not entirely new, met this person on the 1st day of this sem but all we say to each other is just a simple "hey". The way we got each other's number was sorta accidental. Since yesterday evening, we just started to talk (in this case smsing quite alot). I was kinda glad to be able to get to know someone but sometimes it felt kinda one-sided. However, I decided to continue smsing away. Through the period of msging I felt a wave of mixed emotions. Happy, sad, confused, deep in thought, fascinated, etc. This person's character was new to me and my curiousity toward this person kept me continuing. This person seems a little dulled and negative sometimes but also mysterious maybe? not sure what's the right word to describe it. At first I thought this person is shy but later learned that it's not. This person is also pretty straight foward in a way. I know curiosity kills but I'm gonna keep the identity anonymous. It's more fun that way. =) Here comes another msg. Till next time...

it's getting cloudy inside...

Went for a part-time job today as an usher in the concert held in the Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach by a group called "Grasshopper" from Hong Kong. Didn't know who they were and their style seems to fit my mom's generation but the performance was still fantastic. I was in charge of the VVIP lane so I got to see the stage up close. It was AWESOME being able to be so close to the stage for the first time, from the rehersals to the actual performance! and I know most people go to concerts to admire thier star(s) or idol(s) but I was the odd one who went to check out the dancers. hahaha! Don't blame me, the dancer's are younger and more suitable for my age kays. =P The pay ain't that great and by the end of the night my legs gave out but I don't regret going. Gotta love the loud pumping music, fancy costumes, lighting effects, stage fireworks, and last but not least the hot dancers! LOL

nights!

got wet under the rain...

Went to help out with the orientation day on wednesday. It was sunny hot. Saw lots of fresh faces, some familiar, and some distantly familiar. It was kinda fun. And it also reminded me of my very first orientation day.

I find myself growing eager towards the coming semester. However, I couldn't lie about my first day being fantastic. It was just okae...maybe add a few yawns. Majority (that might be an understatement) of my classmates are new to me or familiar but aren't very close. I have to thank myself for wanting to put myself in a different timetable so that I could make new friends. Maybe I was too naive, thinking that making new friends are that simple.

The second day was pretty much the same. The only difference was getting homework. But the amount isn't enough for one to complain. The subjects that I had taken up on are Interdisciplinary Studies, Communication Technology, and Challenges and Changes in Society. My timetable is in that order, periods 1 3 5. At the meantime, I'm also waiting to sell all my books from the previous semester.

Hanged out with my besties on friday night, before my bestfriend had to leave for NZ the next day. Gonna miss her badly. Hope we'll see each other before I leave.

Yesterday, I spent most of the day making a notice board with an old wooden picture frame, pieces of styrofoam, glue, double sided tape, blade, paper, and white cloth. The process was fun though mind & body wearing. haha! Want to see it? Let me know if you do but don't expect too much. lol

The 1st week flew by just like that.
Wish me luck on the coming week.

2010!

what went through your mind right after the countdown?

i think mine was blank. haha! not because my brain was sleeping but i was probably too distracted by the food infront of me. hehe =)
after my dad came back from work on new year's eve *note: he reached home at night*, he drove me and my siblings to to the nearest McD drive-thru to take-away. then we reached home, switched on the tv, plooped onto the sofa and watched the countdown & fireworks while having our food. heee~

happy new year~

P/S: did you notice the full moon that night?
