happy belated
chinese new year :)
another time of overeating good food and the sometimes-overly-sweet yusheng, exchanging of latest gossip at the table and the necessary acquisition of delightfully red packets :D and this year, with 3 days in the heart of fifth avenue, nyc. basically - awesome.
pictures up someday perhaps. for now, wishing everyone the best of luck and blessings for the second new year! ib makes cny interesting, what with the very amusing renditions of acsian chinese dramas, huge amounts of red packets decorating classroom walls (or lack, thereof) and the exchanging of packets containing not $$ but notes to each other :)
things you'd look back on a year or more later and smile upon, really.
and then life in ib has gone pretty well, on a relatively good start. academically, my chem needs some serious sos, really really baaaad ): spiritually, i wouldnt exchange acs for anything else. i mean, i miss my old friends at hwachong now, but human (educational) paths diverge eventually. God stays, and its here in acs where He becomes more... accessible. in that sense, yeah.
sometimes i wonder, aside from me really loving BB for what it is... im seriously way too materialistic to fit the ideal Primer profile. with all that love for fashion parties and whatnot comes a certain amt of narcissism/materialism, i cant deny that. or the fact that BB commands sthg entirely the opposite. so maybe me being in BB is to force me out of that materialistic mindset. say what?!
to think that years ago i contemplated the cutest white dress to wear for the next kindy party. a decade (or less) down the road, with two more years to go, im contemplating which university to go to, what course to take, which country i would probably love best.
darnneeet.
