Can't believe I went four months without updating my blog at all. It was first the O level period for which I (actually) studied for. Then there was this period of slacking (I can't even remember what I did) which I stayed at home and watched dramas? Honestly I can't remember. There was a portion of the holidays spent on chasing my dearest 插班生 and sending them off to Taiwan and welcoming them back. I think Christmas season then came and I worked part-time as a gift-wrapper at Takashimaya (valuable and enjoyable experience, really).
Now that the timeline is getting slightly closer, I can remember churning out another drawing of 吴青峰 on the first day of 2013 (after a gap of an entire year without doing any proper drawing) and man, nothing can be more hyperventilation-inducing (?) than having 吴青峰 himself replying that he saw my drawing. I know I just typed that like it's part of everyday life but damn I would insert a million exclamation marks if it wouldn't take up space here.
And because I started a 2013 diary...... I can effectively recount what I did for the past 25 days. A big portion of it (and my hard-earned money) was spent on entertainment, namely kinect and k(araoke). And also a wonderful day at USS where I got my neck strained. (Yup.) And on those boring (and penniless) days, I stayed at home to read Tess Gerritsen crime thrillers and watch Rizzoli & Isles (which is a great show based on Gerritsen's series!!!). Oh and Fringe too!
Here comes the slightly more exciting part!! (At least for me!)
School is starting soon!!!!
It's almost certain that I will end up in NYJC and I really can't wait for orientation and friends and actual lessons! But actually what I'm most looking forward to is to join Chinese Orchestra!!!! These four years without an instrument to play has been pretty long for me even though I did enjoy drama and everything else. I totally can't wait to place my hands on an Erhu/Gaohu and try figuring out my favourite mandopop songs! (I've seen videos of people playing kpop tunes on an Erhu and the combination seems really interesting.) Only downside of joining Chinese Orchestra? They usually have really orh-biang costumes. Urgh.
The idea of making new friends is really refreshing as well! Like, starting anew in a way and creating another first impression for the people who may become your life-long friends. New personalities, new conversations, new environments, new people! Exciting!! Honestly hoping for a group of bosom friends (one is fine as well) and maybe...... have a breakthrough in my (lack of) love life.
But then of course nothing can be forced so let's just hope I can find friends who can tolerate my shortcomings and in return I'll try my best to love them for who they are.
YAY!
