Sustained with courage, mute, yet high;
The wounds at which she bled, revealing
Only by altered cheek and eye;"

this will be a long post.

xoxo,11:30

this lack of blogging is not an indication of dullness in my world or the lack of worthy things to write about, if anything, its the exact opposite.

since my last post ive started a few posts on several occasions, fingers itching to ramble about the day's happenings, but brain wanting perfection, the preservation of emotions & afterthoughts ,in the right words thats why.

me taking this "preservation" so seriously may sound silly & sudden to the rest of you but if i seem to have this blogger's block for past weeks happenings, id much rather scrap the inner legions of my memory.

but i have concluded that perhaps this "preservation" is best done using the simplest words.

so here goes !

last week was chinese new year. it still is chinese new year now, until the 9th which will be the 15th day in the chinese calendar, the last day.
new year's eve was spent at telokblangah ,as usual , but its been 2 years since ive last celebrated it there. i wasnt in town y'see.
but everything was still comfortably farmiliar, its like id never skipped that 2 years.

i think tradition is really cool. especially family traditions. it varies with different families, ive only recently come to realize. & so it is unique, the way each family has its own.
& this chinese new year, ive learnt that not every family has steamboat for reunion dinner on cny's eve. when all my life's spent believing that was so.
-i had strongly -naively- believed that was the norm ! D:

& the first day of cny. we went back to telokblangah again. this time for brunch. & we had the same dishes ive been having all my life & only when its cny. the same soup ( yam with really long vegetable cooked in 1 piece with its roots attached), the same kind of rice ( yam&ginger flavoured rice) the same yummy tea ( red dates tea freshly brewed&made by bigaunt), the same dessert ( fried nian gao. me loves !! )& of course, thankfully, with all the same people. - my aunts, uncles & cousins. (;
& teehee. the same collection of angbaos too.
i like sameness. :D

& on the second day of cny, Yonatan came over for lunch & i went over for dinner. yummy food all over & i was full to the max :D
that was the only change in this years cny.. & me hopes it stays this way forever.

on wednesday Yonatan & i went to catch Passengers. weird, intriguing movie. kinda creepy too. the way the people keep appearing on screen got me goosebumps. :/ but when i think about it now, i suppose its not too bad. (;

thursday was uber fun ! we spent the day at sentosa. my first time luge-riding. scary the first time round but it was really really fun the last 2 rides. no to mention i almost lost my right slipper getting down the skyline the second time. it was precariously sitting near the edge of the slanted landing. the brave attendant got it back for me & whilst he doing so i scared myself thinking that if he fell & died, it'll really be all my fault. well wont it ??? D:
& then we went to walk the flower exhibition. pretty flowers everywhere :D i couldnt be more content. (;
*pictures here & here

friday we went durian hunting. youd have already seen some of the pics in that second here (;
the durian wasnt as good as it should have been. oh well. too bad tisnt durian season now. & then we went bowling too. i bowling went from bad to better to blah. i needa work on my attention span. :X

& yesterday was the usual saturday. church in the evening & a yummy dinner following. we actually decided on another restaurant but it was already booked to its seams, the manager was so flustered, & when we arrived he seemed even more stressed. its still cny & loads of peoples still celebrating i guess ! so we went to Jumbo instead. it was as full as that earlier mentioned restaurant but we booked it on the way there teehee. the chilli crab & steamed fish was absolutely fab. :D

& with the way my family loves to eat, i leave each meal with a huge tummy wondering how long will i be able to maintain my current size.or get any skinnierrrr :x but i seem to have inherited my family's love of eating. sighhhhh.

& finally today. -a million&one &'s later.
im sitting on the world's most comfortable leather couch typing all this & wondering to myself who in the right mind would actually read all this. especially after the above establishment that this is gonna be a long post.
& if he/she has managed to reach these words not bored to death yet, ye must be experiencing some near death experience right now ! but if not.. :D im reallyreally suprised. whoever you are, you must have some bore-defying super power.

muaha.
i shall stop rambling now.
have a great week y'all !(;
