I have not been updating... blogging suddenly seems unfamiliar to me: I don't know to begin!
I finished reading The Chinese Box today, it's relatively nice, I like the way he describes the souring relationship between Dimitri and Helen. I also like how he writes about small talk and the awkwardness between people, almost wordless communions.
Can you play Edinburgh next Friday?To the Chinese February always means red panty time. Chinese New Year. Xuyun said, she won 50dollars thanks to her red panties. If all 4 players wore red panties and briefs at a mahjong table, i suppose it will be a draw then. I did not wear red panties, but I gambled. I did not win money though, because my family used gold coins made of chocolate.

Introducing... my parents. ( The best people in the world )
PICTURES TAKEN WITH RICOH CAPLIO INSTEAD.


Myself:

and 3 more brothers. ( no photo ). That's my family. My favourite people.
I love having dinner at this park:


The satay is so good!

With a good view:

This is my school library, it's huge.

That is Claire by the way. She just turned 20 this week. I had an ill-executed surprise for her, but she still fell for my trap... so. And I wrote the cheesiest birthday note ever, on her birthday card. Tammy made a BEAUTIFUL birthday card for Claire. I took a photo of it with Eunice's camera, but I cannot find it on Eunice's blog. So if you are reading this and you haven't seen the card before, imagine what a pretty handicraft birthday card looks like with thread and beads et cetera on it, that's what it looks like. With my cheesy very un-Karen-like "NUS is a better place because of you!"
Rest of the photos taken wth the Fuji:

My dear friend Ashlyn is leaving on the 23rd for foreign soil. 6 yrs. I will miss her presence, surely. But I won't miss HER, I think. It's more of a getting used to it thing. Besides there are really so many modes of communication to make up for distance. I will get accustomed. I hope that the whole Australian experience will b fulfilling, that's the most important.
Bye Ashlyn.




That boy is so CUTE. I don't know how else to desribe him. I love his garb and his crazy bike. He really had to 'leap' on. Ah. Very very adorable.
Bird.
Guess the missing letter:
There is still a long way to go.
I see blue.
And some yellow too.
Even Red. Red is striking.
Tree Reflection
I like them all.
