When the sun comes out along with the just-fine breeze, you'd know it's Spring. People started to get really happy and excited. The school-team-footballers only field has now become a chill spot for everyone. It's getting somewhat rowdy, they have to scream in the night too, what has that going to do with Spring?! Go do callisthenics in the sun and get yourselves tired then go to sleep at night, dude - ['d(y)ood] that's how my friend suggests reading the word, sounds like canto foul lang., which i think is perfectly relevant calling these Night Crows it, dude(s).
It's Spring and it's QingMing now. My family just went paying our filial respect to my beloved granpa before his tomb. I want to go along, I want to go with them. I want to tell granpa that I missed him so much. It has been over a year now yet it's still so vivid; the moment everything went silent and still... I tried so hard to listen, hoping him to give me another sign, but he never did. That's the moment when you know, nothing is going to be different, you will still go to school or work, you will still have tea and watch telly at home as usual. The only difference is that you'll not hear him bid you goodbye when you go out to school or work, you can never ask what tea he'd like to have, you can never ask him questions and get answers... and that you can never see him again, ever. Hopefully, Spring would make these all good. Fortunately that person who started QingMing was not an emo kid, or else he/she would make it a winter event. That sounds devastating.
My hair colour is getting lighter by the day... I'd rather eat raspberry-flavoured than real raspberries. Will update more soon.
lov. p/s: Have you ever came across any events or things - random and rather unimportant to others - which meant alot to you?
Finally, 2008 has ended. I'm not those who make a new year plan beforehand and go with it. Yet, there are a few events from 2008 which I'd like to heed.
My long waited TOA graduation exhibition happens to kick off my year of 2008, there have been a few job interviews before that; thanks to the kancil student award which has then lead me to more job opportunities. In February, I've got a job together with Mian at Bozell Worldwide, a comfortable ad agency full of nice and friendly people (and some not so friendly people). That is where I met CheeSun, the creative director of BW; kind and intelligent man with a charming smile who had me making the baskin robbins tvc storyboard and had an ice-cream phobia for 3 months; (yet I'm happy because he likes the work and gave me loads of BR freebies!) and Boon, the head of art. She is a virgoen just like myself, loves Paris but will only visit with her very love and she often drives me around for lunch. I wish she's doing very well in Shanghai.
I quit this job in June to prepare for further studying. I promised to go back to BW in August but I never did; I did not expect to spend such amount of time for the university applications and visa. Later in August, I've got my student visa and then, everything seems clear.
September 2008, the month I depart for UK. Saying goodbye is not what I do best, at least not this time. Therefore I kept the number of farewells minimal. 20-09-2008, after bidding my family goodbye, me and my mom departed from KLIA to LDN Heathrow. The 15hrs of direct flight was rather pleasant despite the suckie food from MAS, but I think there was something which tasted not entirely bad though, couldn't remember what it was. I've spent the orientation week with Viv and Siri. It was 02-10-2008, the day my mom tear while walking into the departure gate of Heathrow. Luckily I have Viv with me at that time. Later that night, I met Sylvia, Aaron and ThangWei, my coolios at this emoland. I had my first tutorial in UK on 07-10-2008; lost my specs after a trip to London on 10-10-2008; miss my granpa and cried the whole night on 05-11-2008; had a job interview with Anne Browne on 19-10-2008. Gone crazy when I was drunk one night; Alison was trapped outside the tube and got me freaked out; Sang along with cha bao lou dou's piano; Read a decent number of Peter Bil'ak, Rick Poynor, Milton Glaser and Michael Bierut; Many many sleepless nights and finished my first ever six thousand words essay in November.
As for December, I ended it with style. Spent a lovely Christmas in London, met wonderful Yisuen, Swisstee and Oliver Cift (the chatterbox) and dressed the end of my 2008 with clothes I bought on Boxing day and THAT'S A WWWRRRAP!
Year 2009 - I believe it will be a year; which is better than ever.
It's always a clear cut and short personality description alongside with a hint of personal-interest. Tell me about it. A person who loves living in surreal; believe in spirits and often get caught in confusions; have choice disorder, therefore needed at least half an hour to choose my lunch in a bakery; can never get things too clear, there would be no fun by then; so is this About Me thing.
