halfway thru

not gonna blog about recess week.
it went by in a flash.
i dun even remember having a social life.

first half of the semester: no reports, no presentations, no quizzes.
and yet already so emo.
how am i gonna survive April?
die of depression, maybe.

god bless japan

天佑日本。

嗯，听起来有点反讽。
把日本害成这样的不是“天”灾吗？
现在连天都不能指望了。

靠人吧！
人定胜天。
至少新闻画面里的日本民众看起来很坚强。
请继续坚强。

Japan does not deserve this.
No country deserves this.

刘智澎的相处之道

我在台湾买的 《蔡康永的说话之道》 真的很抢手，很多人向我借，其实我自己还没读完，哈哈哈~
学会了说话的艺术，还要懂得用，一直用也不见得是好事...

如果你和我单独搭过MRT，你会发现我嘴巴一直没停过。
我一直觉得，只有很熟的朋友才会有源源不绝的话题 （不是硬找话题聊的那种）。
我每个礼拜都会有三个像这样的朋友，令回家的路程看起来不再那么遥远。
真的，什么都可以聊，时间也过得很快。

那天晚上，看完舞台剧，和一个认识了十年的朋友，一起搭了30分钟的MRT。
可能因为读书/工作了一整天，我们都有些疲倦了。
可是几个月才见一次面，总觉得如果不聊些什么，好像有点生疏/尴尬。
所以我还是不厌其烦地聊起彼此的近况 （只希望她不会觉得太闷）。

必须承认，后来有点硬找话题聊的感觉。
也不是不熟，只是...她一直在听，只是在听。
然后她终于开口了，语气很温和，像个长辈似的：
“可能你当主持当惯了，无法忍受dead air，哎呀我们都那么熟了，偶尔的沉默是OK的。”
正中死穴。窘死了。

也对，情侣/夫妻也不会一直聊天。
我自己一个人的时候，也绝对不会自言自语。（虽然说blogging也算是自言自语）
纯粹不想让对方觉得闷/尴尬/冷落罢了。
没想过说话会是一种疲劳轰炸。

I can be at ease with myself, but not with someone around.
这不是我的职业病，是个性的关系，是我的相处之道。

DISCLAIMER: this is a reflective post, not an emo post.

back (on track)!

okie i better post something before my joyous mood disappears (hope it won't)...
since i promised this post would be a happy one!

reasons to be happy:

1) today is Tue! the day when i end classes at 10.30, head home for home-cooked lunch, and take a long afternoon nap (since i dun have to sleep early n wake up early on Wed)!

but i wasn't THAT happy for the past few Tues, so it must be reasons (2) & (3)!

2) i got paid for doing something i enjoy! Valenwine paid me $50 for 2 hrs of emcee-ing hoho~ okie the pay was a bonus, wasn't expecting much since the committee was on a tight budget. but this was my first hosting gig since...OCT 2009! it feels good to hold a mic n just talk talk talk...n get paid. MUAHAHAHAHA!

3) more n more drama in my life. in a good way! haha dunno why there are so many theatre productions in Mar...but i have bought all the tickets! (dun remind me about the cost, i'm using my angbao money) watching with different groups of friends, gossiping before/after the show over dinner/supper, laughing so loud n attracting so much attention...i guess we simply enjoy the attention HAHA!

i'm finally getting my life back (on track)! YAY~
