art outside my window

last night i think i saw my neighbours(if im not wrong they're ex students of central st martins) doing some art thingy on the pavement just outside my place. ;) i felt so privileged to have witnessed it from my window. basically they stenciled in the words 'nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely' - in water. i just thought it was pretty ingenious. in less than two hours (it was an exceptionally windy night) the words disappeared. and i felt so inspired;)

ive been thinking back on my original intentions in coming to london to study; the words a senior said to me when i first got here 'its very easy to be lured by the big money' and my easy dismissal of her words; my friend when he said 'its all based on the assumption that i derive greater value in money than spending time with my famliy and friends'. so true, so true.

and 'the golden path' from channel 8 is really not too bad a show. :)

and im starving myself for dimsum later;)

a rainy afternoon with jane austen

so i got home today and it started to rain really heavily. its been quite a cold day today, so i thought, well why not. made some tea, plopped down on my bed and started on karen joy fowler's 'the jane austen book club'.

i love reading books - its a cheap escape out of the real world. i feel like my world is widened with one more book read; then i wish that my whole life is all about reading books, and that i'd never stop. id just keep escaping into their little worlds.

and so on this random cold afternoon i feel a strong sense of wanting. wanting to go back to whats familiar, what defined me, who loves me, where id always have breakfasts in the mornings, and where the radio doesnt play alicia's keys' 'no one' ten thousand times over.

hellooo 2008

now its really back to school, back to a normal life of a student in london which i am almost tempted to say "bah, boring" but hey im glad i had a great holiday (i love all of you) but 2008 isnt looking to be all that bad ;)

firstly i bought a gym ball, so i dont have to go outside into the blithering cold just to move my ass. and by cold i mean coooolllddd.

then i bought a 3/4 guitar *shrieks* and im really excited about it. yay! my sis was helping me tune it, now that shes gone i tune it myself. well the strings are in tune with each other i just dont know if they're the right notes :) haha. but they sound alright when i strum it. so yay! i can finally be cool and play the guitar.

i cleaned up my room today (no more sis' stuff around my room ;( and got down to doing a bit of work. (stress: abit)

anw im glad my sis came down. ;) i really miss her silly presence. and now i have coffee in my house and no one will drink it! ;( but well girl, im glad you're happy. love you lots :)

ps. george clooney's picture has made it to my wall of family and friend pictures. ahha now he's family! :)

and im starting to miss everyone back home ;)
