Run

I went for my first run in months. Haha. With my brother. Not the best person to go running with now that I’m so unfit and he’s the kind who goes for marathons. Haha. He drilled me like he was my fitness trainer. I wasn’t supposed to stop jogging at all. Plus he talked non stop while I was still trying to catch my breath. Hahaha. I was insanely tired already upon reaching home. Had cereals and mango. Then I received a text from my brother saying he’s coming home soon and let’s go running. Haha. I was so lazy and replied I just ate and stuffs. But he was a no excuses kind of guy. He convinced me to run, which eventually turns out to be a good thing. I have to get back into shape if not, I’ll be disappointing myself.

Next run, shall be within the week. Yes, I can do this without killing myself.

Short-lived

My alone time was short-lived. In the last few days, there have been so many things going on around me. We went to meet the interior designer, went to choose bathroom accessories, bed shopping, moved, unpacked. And the whole time, I also had school ongoing with deadlines starting to pile. I feel like I have a million things on my mind every night. How I manage to sleep, is due to pure exhaustion. I don’t feel at peace at all. Why did life get so hectic?

Being at home doesn’t help, there is too many people around, too many voices speaking at the same time. I can’t even hear my own thoughts. I need a time off.

Scenic moment

It’s been a long time since I’ve had time to myself. It feels almost perfect sitting at a Starbucks with a cold drink and my kindle. Sitting outdoors is wonderful back home. I can breathe the clean air and feel the wind in my hair with the occasional sunshine. I’m content. Yes, it feels like a scenic moment out of a book of movie.

Since I’ve been back, life has been in super fast motion. I’ve unpacked and packed non-stop. My room is currently almost bare with minimal furniture and things. My table is gone. The floor has become my new best friend. I’m always on the floor using my laptop. Haha. Shall be shifting to my grandma’s tomorrow. Goodbye The Eden. I shall miss you.

I WANT A KITTEN

I’m seriously seriously seriously considering adopting this kitten from Cat Welfare Society. She is absolutely adorable! But I’ll feel so so bad inconvencing Justin’s family with her. WHY CAN’T MY FAMILY JUST LET ME HAVE A KITTEN?!!!

2nd last night in Beijing, we went to cycle on ice, had candied kiwis & strawberries and lobsters on a stick.

 

GOODBYE BEIJINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I’M GOING HOME!!!!!!!!!!

Excuse my madness

I AM COMING HOME TOMORROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! SO BLOODY EXCITINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! IN 9 HOURS, I WILL BE ON A PLANE TO HONG KONG, THEN ON A PLANE TO SINGAPORE. WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. HOME HOME HOME HOME HOME!!!

My Family

I MISS MY FAMILYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I can’t wait for Saturday, I will literally run and jump. I can seriously picture myself doing that. HAHAHA.

SNOW

Harbin was beautiful, everywhere was covered with snow. Solid, packed snow that wasn’t melting any time soon. HAHA. It was averaging around -20 degrees most of the time. Insanely cold I swear. I had one thin shirt, one wooly long john, one knitted sweater and one winter coat on the top, wooly long john pants and wind-proof, water-proof, super awesome pants that I think I can trek a mountain with. HAHAHA. But anyway, I still felt cold. Haha. Even wooly socks and my trusty Doc Martens were not enough. My toes felt on the verge to getting a frostbite. Any fingers left exposed would have froze and dropped off. I was covered from head to toe, only leaving my eyes exposed. I looked like an idiot!!

I think I’ve experienced extreme cold winter conditions and it shall be my last. HAHA. I had enough. We got to see pretty snow and ice sculptures but my favourite sight is still snow on christmas trees. I think that’s beautiful enough.

Justin’s favourite has got to be the tigers we saw. SO MANYYYYYY. Hundreds I think. There was this spot where they were all lying around and crows were circling. It seriously looked like a scene from a zombie or ‘the world is coming to an end’ movie. HAHAHA.

Saint Sophia’s Church was pretty too. Gorgeous architecture.

 

SO ANYWAY!

Exams are finally over! We skimmed through Human Resources the day before the exam, the paper went fine. Then we skimmed through Corporate Finance & Investment in a day too. HAHA. Those papers were less ideal, but ah well. We’re just hoping to pass. So glad they’re over.

I’m currently nursing a flu and cough from Harbin. I must get well before I can enjoy my last few days here. Gotta hand over the keys to our apartments and stay in a hotel for about 3 nights. But it’s all cool, I found a perfect one next to the shopping district. HAHAHA. Last-minute shopping and sight-seeing & I’ll be back! SATURDAY, 15th JAN, 610pm. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. & THE NICE WARM SUN!

 

LOTS & LOTS OF LOVE from the one who hasn’t worn shorts, skirts & dresses in AGES.
