This next post is going to be a jumble of things and people that have cheered me up recently and the little things in life that help get me by, even when things are dark and gloomy, there's always the new fairy lights I put up to bring me out of the darkness. This photo doesn't really do much justice to how beautiful they are, of course anyone who's attempted to take photos with a phone at night knows my pain.
Received the Wrecking Crew Orchestra crew shirt from TBG'12 from Hongyao [: so glad to have it, because I really love TBG and at least I have a part of it with me now. He also kindly sent along the concert programme, thanks a bunch! :DD
Recently found a few new apps for my Android to edit photos, the editted version of this with bokeh is on Facebook! [:
Played mahjong recently because of the Ekka holidays. (public holiday on Wednesday and lessons were subsequently cancelled on the Tuesday and Thursday) I managed to make a 小四喜, which is one of the special patterns to achieve with the tiles, much like a straight flush in poker terms. yay, now I've accomplished more things :p
Went to Connie's house one night after studying and had a lovely dinner of spinach, mussels and honey chicken wings and met Giselle and talked abit to Connie's mum. Sometimes I really envy other people's parents, but I guess some people might envy mine.
Been out to dinner with James and discussed a trip together in September [: had a lovely dinner at
Maru, a Korean BBQ restaurant, the food looks incredibly yummy, sadly I didn't enjoy that large dish of Spicy Chicken in Cheese.
After that dinner, dropped by James's home to get my wire and spectacles from him. Just some cool things in his room.
I have to say I really love this inspiration poster, which he has many in his room. This set of quotes is so relatable. Especially in times when I feel down, I just sit and wonder why I do the things I do and why I don't see anyone else doing the same thing. I always wonder why the world is such a cruel place. I always wonder how people can use each and sabotage one another. It feels like a very inhumane act to me. I can understand their motivations and reasons for behaving but I can't bring myself to commit bad things.
Watched "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" that night, it was such a good movie, a mix of thrill, romance, comedy and action all in one. I couldn't stop halfway I couldn't sleep in ease and as a result I only slept at 4am after finishing the movie. It's about 3hours long and it's worth every minute of your time. The movie in one sentence: 2 investigators from completely different backgrounds work together to solve a series of horrific murders.
This is Rooney Mara, who plays Lisbeth Salander in the movie. I love this profile of her.
You can watch in awe how she transfroms from the punk chic into
A butterfly!
I don't want to ruin the show for any people intending to watch it, it's a very very good show, just be alert because it's a long show and there's many clues you can look out for and see if you can solve the murders before the investigators do! [:
2 nights ago, on the 20th of August it was both my Daddy's and Anna's birthday, I decided to celebrate with Anna another time because Johnny had plans, I went to walk along Southbank and met up with Weiyang.
we drove to Sunnybank and had a most wonderfully deeeeelicious dinner at iThai, it's so freakkking awesome I'm definitely going back there, but of course, we ordered too much :x what a way to celebrate EID (end of fasting), an excess of food!
I am severely thankful to the people in my life right now, you guys make life much easier and much more enjoyable and I'm indebted to all of you for being so nice to me. Sometimes I wish I could repay all of you, but I know human kindess is one of the hardest things to show and reciprocate. I can only do so much and such acts cannot be measured. I just hope that things continue to go smoothly and more happy events come my way, our way..Labels: fairy lights, girl with the dragon tattoo, ithai, korea BBQ, rooney mara, TBG, WCO. maru
