Hey there, my darling old friend, my blog! hahah. well, it's not that i havent been blogging. through the shanghai trip, i've been blogging madly! on the road, im like typing on my phone and saving it into my folders. and then, i've transferred already and its by far, the longest post in my blogging history! but have to hang in there because i am really very busy these days to upload the photo to the blog cus it'll take a while..
well, overall, the jiangnan trip has been a very fruitful one. not only did i manage to snap out of the whole drama (about 90% there), i've managed to find myself. very fruitful. actually, surprisingly fruitful. this trip really made my tattoo glow. (: i'm very happy that i got a chance and it has confirmed that i am really a wanderluster and i didn't tattoo for nothing. despite having menstruation cramps for the 2nd day and stomach flu for the next 2 days, i still smiled and learnt alot. the toilet experience when i had my period is a complete nightmare. but through this china trip, i really have found out that people are different from each other. we are neither worse off or better off than anyone. we all live by different definitions of life. i realise this when i was in shanghai. and on the same street, i can see a women carrying bags and bags of LV and on the other side of the street, i see a family sleeping by the bench in -4 degrees in the night. if you gave them a bowl of rice, they'd probably feel like the happiest beings on earth. if you gave the same bowl of rice to that woman, she'd probably think you're despising her or something. but they are neither better than any of each other because they are made happy by different things. honestly, these few days back in singapore, i believed that im just different like everyone else. and i was true to myself. when my aussie cousins came to singapore, in the past, i would have pretended to think chinese-ish stuff are funny and laugh when they did. now, i just showed them the shows we watch. like, ai.. which is really cheesy. my cousin, lionel.. i have lost all the respect i once had for him. not only is he being such a fake person, compromising his beliefs and true self just to impress them, he really is the worst brother i know. i won't elaborate much because it really won't look good on lorraine. but i really am very disappointed in him. after going through jc and army, he just gets worse. honestly. i am very disgusted.
well, the aussie cousins are draining alot of my time and also, have been trying to rush MA holiday package by 5 jan. omg. very lagged behind. im so worried. anyway, i am going to create a new blog for the new year. haha. i'll probably blog about shanghai there. shall paste the link when the new year comes. well, here are some of my new year's resolution:
1. im going to be financially more matured.
2. i wanna know more about astrology
3. i want to have 2 days a month for "me time".
4. subscribe to financial times with my allowance
5. till exams, each week i must complete 4 topics of revision
6. afford the $75 charles and keith bag.
7. carry on saving as much as possible for travelling!
8. i want to be true to myself. believe in what i believe.
i have thought through on the trip. i am actually pretty okay with accountancy. but the thing is, i am thinking of pursuing another degree in journalism when i graduate. i want to write. if i wanna utilise my degree, i can pursue financial journalism. haha. hmmm. im very sleepy. im heading to bed now.. really sleepy. well, anyway, i did a bit of fortune telling in china.
