狗年~点·滴

丙戌年，你又是怎么过的呢？

年除夕，订了Mr. Man's Restaurant吃了一顿年夜饭。味道尚可以，也许Mandarin会比较适合吧。到了那里，都是外国人，可见Mr. Man's之高档。菜肴小小的，价钱高高的，肚子不够撑就回家了。天啊！对不起啦大家，试一试新的饭店嘛。

Mike真的很会搞气氛。多亏了他，好像大家都玩得很开心。hmm.. 我倒是没那个本事。后来，一些朋友到我房间里来，玩 'cho dai di' 和 'uno'，直到2.30am。幸好，那时的我，不孤单。

Mike霸占了我的床！直到凌晨6点！不过，还好啦。我趁机看完了brother beat。后来，Mike匆匆地离开了。6.30pm，终于可以 "大觉sok"。

***

醒来的时候，12点了。吃了中饭，2pm，5-6人齐聚我房看戏，吃零嘴。3.40pm，戏没看成，转移战地去了阿泽的房间。Brokeback Mountain.. 真够经典。

晚上，同Vivian去了Kath那里吃饭。腐乳通心菜，麻婆豆腐，盐gok鸡，上海年糕，美味。谢了，Kath！

回到房间，不知为何，突然又孤独了起来。

***

明天，上课。我极度想逃避。想逃避，一直到元宵节。想逃避，想去找Mike。不知为何。也许，是这里唯一的亲人。

我是怎么了？难道，真的是因为，那重逢之后的告别？还是，每逢佳节倍思亲？

***

收拾心情？不知道现在是不是时候，反正我也不想那么做。至少，现在的我，是这么想的。

金宣·观音王·碧螺春·普洱

刚刚吃了海鲜河粉，味道适中，没有一般 takeaway 的油腻，还蛮符合我淡淡的口味。吃得，好饱。

一小时后，弄了一杯普洱茶。苦涩。我想念，家里的陈年普洱。

金宣？至少半年没喝过了。12月的时候，妈一直没空，所以没机会泡茶给我们喝。

家里的一切，还是最好的吧。

*~*~*~*~*

曾经多么不喜欢新加坡也好，我宁愿在那里，也不愿永远在这里。

太任性了，确实，我是太任性了。

不可以这样，不应该这样。英国的自由自在，是哪里也得不到的。但，就因为这点，我反而害怕。我知道自己，自制能力毕竟还很弱很弱。

来英国，为了学业，为了将来，为了学习独立生活，为了认识世界的另一端，为了熟悉自己生活的滋味，为了寻求一片新的天空，为了在生命中翻开新的一页。

.:喝了一口茶，苦，苦涩。是水、是茶、还是感觉的问题？:.

等了好久，都没有回甘的滋味。口中的苦涩，让我想念回甘。重逢后又离别，让我更加思念……

永远的离别，痛一次，就不会再犯。早知如此，何必当初。

half way to go; half way done.

*: signing off ~ sheanie · 璇 :*

home~*

these days.. my yahoo group, the pangkor family, a newly network that was set up for the purpose of communication between family members has been really active. everyone is talking n discussing about the soon-to-come CNY n the much-anticipated, newly-rennovated HOME -- 祖屋。And, sadly, all the while i am just sadly listening to all these, knowing that i won't become part of the fun this year.

i am longing to go back..

if only, if only my exams end earlier. if i were kath, i'll prob think of going back during cny n not during xmas.... well.. i dun care missing a few lectures! (err.. r u sure?)

***

10 reasons y i feel like going back during cny instead of x'mas:

1) CNY = gathering of relatives

2) CNY = 热闹 = fun

3) REDBOX KARAOKE SYSTEM???? --> with 6 x 6 ft projector screen..urgh

4) food. ( i hv to elaborate, cos it's just too.. BIG) reunion dinner, day 1: steamboat, day 2: open house~bbq + jap food ( prepared by dear cous thomas n danny), pangkor laksa ( by the.. Aunties? ops...ok.. mummy is not one of them. =p )

5) new hse! no more short of water supply, no more sharing 1 bathroom 1 toilet...

6) Big Uncle's whole family is finally coming for the 1st time!

7) some of my frens r going back.. yes.. they r missing one week of lectures n they r in 3rd yr or higher..

8) 3 weeks of holiday in msia was not spent wisely..

9) no CNY atmosphere here...

10) pangkor family website too active. argh.

phew~ need to blurt all these out.. but thank god Mike is coming down! yay! oh, n they gonna hv video conferencing. better ask mike to prepare his web cam. shud let him treat me for a feast in Mandarin Restaurant or somewhere.. shud we book just in case? haha..

STOP!

i need to pick myself up..

food, n more food.

3 weeks of indulgence in dependency, good food n relaxation.

i was starting to panick at the last week of the holiday, so i start training myself to wake up at 8 - 9 ish.. but it turned out dat i kept seeing my mother STILL at home.. n hence ended up following her/ accompanying her here n there.. to buy lightings, choose furniture, n every other thing related to rennovation. sigh. ok.. i spent some sort of quality time with mum, but my work r all undone n left at home.

i did try bringing my italian notes to read in the car, when she is busy n so on.. but still din get much done, as expected.. but well.. i am not regretting or anything.. as she always say.. think of the present moment, not the past nor the future... so ok..

spent xmas in pangkor island.. at pan pacific hotel.. nice place, nice beach.. overpriced hotel food... i rather eat LAI FUN or PANGKOR LAKSA...

speaking abt food.. hiahaha.. i keep eating good food everyday.. every breakfast or lunch, me n sis will call papa to bring us to go makan.. it's almost a ritual every school holidays.. below r our normal selection of places to eat:
