Hi guys!
How have you been?

Ah.. It's been a long while since I've posted.

What have I been doing?

Hmm.. *thinks*
My right brain

I just realised how grotesque it sounds
when I talk about my brain,
so I shall spare you guys that. Lol

I've been making lots of cards and drawings though,
if that's what you guys are interested in.

There was a conference on Missions in my country recently too.
So I helped out with that..

It was really fun being a part of something big!


Other than that,
it's alot of TV and nothing else..

Ah.. Gintama is so addictive.
Don't watch it. You'll be hooked.

[No, really.]


Exams are actually in two days,
and I've got 12 chapters to cover tomorrow.
And another 12 the day after..
And another 12 the day after...

Sigh.

At least it's the last semester! :S


Lastly,
most of my family's currently overseas
in different parts of the world at the moment.

It feels kinda lonely,
and food's definitely a problem.

[Food > Loneliness]

Every day it's really just

frozen food, frozen food, take out, frozen food.

Sigh. x2


Thus begins an era of unhealthiness.

Hum hum.

Assignments month just ended.
Which means Exams week will be in two weeks!

But let's forget that for now.

Given all the work my left brain had to do,
usually after this period,
my right brain goes into overdrive.

I shall show you guys the results once the phase is passé!
[It's like a vicious cycle.]

Right!
There's really nothing much to talk about,
cause all I did was..

Maximise my right brain,
and.... Nothing else.

Yeah, now that I think about it,
that's really two weeks of my life summed up into a sentence.

Wow.

Oh!
Something exciting!

I went cycling with my cousin!
[Not exciting? Wait for it...]

Apparantly after the whole ordeal,
[that's right, ordeal]
he tells anyone he can find that he's never cycling with me again. Ever.

..We're going again next week.

But that's besides the point.

Because we're always in the same parks and stuff,
I tried to 'spice' it up by taking random turns,
and weird out-of-the-way routes.

I think that it's exciting.
He thinks that I'm crazy.

We had battle scars by the time the bikes were returned.
THAT'S RIGHT. BATTLE SCARS.

He was quite proud of them too.

See?
It's a win-win situation!


*30-watt grin*

江藤..私はちょっと気分が悪い。
[Etō.. I feel kinda bad.]



Credits to www.crunchyroll.com

Cause everyone in my team's doing their part for the project..
And I ask if I can help,
but I know I can't do much because it's IT..

I'm doing presentation tomorrow though!
I just hope that I don't botch it..

But..

No! I won't lose heart!
I'll work hard!
And pray hard!
I'm sure everything will turn out fine!

はい!

Nightmares befell me,
and as I writhed in fear,
whimpering and mewling,
I opened my eyes.

Darkness.

Then, the door opened,
a shaft of light fell through,
and I saw a dark figure,
oh.. Mum.

She came over and said,
"What's the matter?
Are you feeling better?"
and touched my forehead.

I pulled the sheets up to my nose,
and whispered,

"Nightmares."

She whispered a soft prayer for me,
all the while touching my head,
and I fell back to slumber,
with her warm caress and soft whispers.

Sometimes,
I'll open my eyes and see her working at the computer,
light from it creating a silhouette against the darkness,
my pillar of strength and fortitude.

However,
more often than I would like,
drowning darkness greets me.

In those wee hours of the morning,
[four to be exact]
what my mother really meant to me was revealed.

Clearer to me than the rest of the nineteen years put together.

Seen through barely opened eyes,
in the half-light of coming dawn.


I miss you, Mum.

Happy Mothers' Day!


It is a day of joy,
celebrating the greatness of a mother's love for her children! :)



See?

Haha.. I've always wondered.
Do maternal instincts come with age,
or when I see my child?

What if it doesn't come?

Sounds silly, I know.
But it's just one of those things where it's expected,
yet there's always a chance it doesn't happen!

Ah..
But I appreciate my mum,
and my grandmama,
and all my other mum-like figures.

Without them,
my world would certainly be different!



So here's to all the lovely mothers out there!
Keep doing that great job you've been doing!

And we children just wanna let you know,
that we love you. :)

Tomorrow Today's Labour Day.

At first,
I was gonna stay at home and be all dull,
and try and finish my assignments.

But during dinner,
I was like What the heck,
I'm not gonna coop myself up anymore.


I am going to do what my doctor told me to do!

But all play and no work makes Jack a lazy boy.

And so, the plan for tomorrow shall be-




Play first, work later.





Tchau!
