Y'all Know It's Christmas!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! It doesn't matter that my family don't celebrate it that much, all I know is that whenever Christmas comes, I'm a happy kid. I love the lights, I love the Christmas trees, I love all forms of Christmas decorations and I love most the spirit of Christmas! So spread the love, spread the joy and spread the laughter!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ON THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH! MAKE IT MERRY OR ELSE!

Legend

Irish legend has it that at the end of every rainbow, there lies a pot of gold. So elusive is that pot of gold though that nonone has ever found it.

I would however, like to claim that I have found the pot of gold. The gold not in gold form but rather I found it in the form of people. For all those who have listened to me rant on and on about things, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I understand that I'm not the only one going through things so it is truly kind of you all to sit there and listen to me go on about things that you shouldn't worry about.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.

If I cannot repay all your kindness, I hope to pass it on to others who need it.

I think I love leprechauns because they're so green.

Finger

I was fortunate enough to be born with the middle finger. In fact, both middle fingers. And today I would like to make full use of them. Here's a huge fuck you with both my middle fingers. You know who you are.

I don't think I have ever felt so frustrated in my life about anything. Today everything that I needed to resolve resulted in frustration. Patience is a virtue I am slowly acquiring. For now though, all I would like to do is tell you all to go fuck yourselves. Leave me out of it.

Nope

You know when you believe a certain notion/feel a certain way but you try to convince yourself that you believe/feel otherwise?

I tried very very hard to convince myself that I'm ready to leave the US but as the end draws ever nearer, I cannot deny that deep down, I'm really not ready to leave yet.I can't believe it's been almost one year already. I feel like I've just settled in, I have barely scratched the surface of this culture, I haven't even learnt how to juggle doing a thousand things at once like everyone else yet! This whole year has been so much greater than any other years I've spent in university.

I'm going to miss a lot of things after I leave. I'm going to miss waking up 30 minutes before class and still not be late for it. I tried to tell myself that I'll go back to enjoying my 3 hour commuting time everyday but really, that just means 3 hours less of sleep. I'm going to miss walking down library walk and seeing all the stalls. I'm going to miss seeing all these random events around campus and I'm going to miss rocking up to these random events spontaneously. I'm going to miss walking around campus at the dead of the night with friends just enjoying the silence. I'm going to miss walking to Goody's at 12:30am knowing that it's still open and getting some Ben & Jerry's to eat while we watched the stupidest things online. I'm going to miss going to the gym randomly to play racket ball and table tennis. I'm going to miss the privilege of stepping out of my apartment, walking 10 steps and I'll be at a friend's apartment.

But really, what I'm going to miss the most are all the good friends I've made here. I usually don't cry (at least not in public) but when everyone left at the end of last quarter, I cried. Now it's my turn to leave. I will try not to cry but I can't say I will have more control of my tears this time around. This time, I'm gone for good. No more extending (even if I tried), no more trying to make this last longer.

I'm not saying life in Brisbane is bad, it's just that it's a completely different lifestyle here, a better lifestyle. Or let me put it this way, even though I've been away for a whole year now, I don't feel like I've missed much back home, whereas I know that I will feel like I'm missing a lot even after one quarter away from UCSD. Let's just say life here is just that much more interesting and exciting than life back home. This place is better than back home, this place is home.


Sad Panda :'(

This is also suppose to foreshadow another near future event. The inevitable event, as I'd like to call it in my mind.
