You Were My First Love

Forever in my mind, only you.

Week #23: 端午节快乐!

1. How time flies! 11 weeks have passed so quickly and that concludes my bench work for my final year project. Which means, it's dissertation writing time. #nofun

2. Tiramisu from Tous Les Jours as supper because YOLO. (Do people still say YOLO?) On a side note, Master Chef (US version) is back, yay!

3. Braised beef glass noodle @ Fong Lye, my favourite Taiwanese restaurant at the moment. Feels good to have good food after a hectic week.

4. Look at this precious furball! <3 (I think he's a Bengal cat..?) Isn't he the cutest? Spotted him at Bangsar while we had our usual banana leaf rice.
Living inside a box must be torturous. He was constantly looking at a stray black kitten outside, as if he's jealous of the kitty that obviously has more freedom than him. Or maybe I'm overanalysing everything. Humans.

5. 端午节 is most probably my second favourite Lunar festival (Chinese New Year obviously being the first). Why? Well. I mean, look at all the yummylicious but sinful bakzhang. Mooncake festival used to be my second favourite but the mooncake crave kinds of worn off throughout the years. However the sad thing is till date (this year) I have not eaten even one bakzhang as I'm away from home as usual. I miss home atm. :( 

6. I guess there's no turning point once you broke a glassware. More are coming after you broke the first one. Same goes to dropping your phone. Some of my friends managed to last for a few months before they dropped their precious iPhones. And once the first accident happened, more followed. It's like a curse. Anyway what I'm trying to say here is that, since I was working in the laboratories for the past 11 weeks, breaking glasswares were quite common for us. However I managed to maintain my record... Only until week 8 where I finally broke a beaker. Then a glass rod. Then another beaker. And then a flask. -_- But still an achievement nonetheless. Like, 4 glasswares, pft, I'm sure with my clumsiness I can break more but I stay at 4. Right? You know what I'm saying? Ok? Ok.

6. Still have not watched Edge of Tomorrow, X-Men and How to Train Your Dragon, boo. :( Sorry my Goddess Emily Blunt, I promise I will support you in theatre.

7. Currently playing: Richard & Alice, an indie adventure game. The plot is intriguing but I was scared at some point all thanks to the mysterious and unknowing atmosphere. I know. Wuss.

8. Remember that I mentioned Corpse Party last week? I had a dream few days ago that was similar with Corpse Party but took place in my university laboratory. Corpses lying on top of benches... Yeah you get the idea. 

8. I'm attending the first prom in my life next Saturday! So excited! I have already decided what to do with my hair  and makeup but the dress. THE DRESS! The most important thing is still missing! Well that's just me being last minute, as usual. No surprise.

9. Novel I recommend this week: 《帝王业》by 寐语者. Fast pace, very well written and the plot line is very fluent and well executed. It is available online (FOC) so just Google and enjoy! Probably the best online fiction I have ever read. No wonder the writer is dubbed as "Queen of Romance Fiction" by the Chinese keyboard warriors. I will definitely check out her other novels.

10. Currently listening to Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow (album). One of the things I love about indie is that it always makes me feel infinite. If you know what I mean, you're awesome. Brofist. ;)

Moonlight.

Nothing, nothing beats Debussy's Clair de Lune.

Love it.

Midnight trail

4 a.m.
& words mean nothing
No need to drive the sleep from my eyes
When there’s none coming tonight
2 hours 35 minutes till the sunrise
& the prayer callers from towers cry
Entreating us to live a better life than we have all this time
But for the time being I’m happy to entreat the blue moon
That strikes your eyes back into mine
& tell her not to end this night
So soon
4 a.m.
& words meant nothing
The first of four
When we stopped running for awhile
I told you a story of Dreamers & heros
How I could be anyone by escaping into my mind’s eye
But I’d never say I was into you
Only hope that you’d want me to
Somehow know what I was thinking
& tell me that it’d be alright
4 a.m.
& words meant nothing
You looked so small as you ran off again into the distance
& all I could feel from this missed chance
Is happy that there was a chance to miss
At all
4 a.m.
& words mean nothing
No need to drive the sleep from my eyes
When there’s none coming tonight
When you’re watching the snowfall
I’m outside, underneath your window
I’m untied here
On some white night
Would you let me in, could you help me
To find a way back to the place where you first helped me
Cuz when you’re watching the snowfall
I’m outside, underneath your window
I’m untied here

Some song that made me cry

Hush now my baby, be still love don’t cry.
Sleep as you’re rocked by the stream.
Sleep and remember, my last lullaby;
So I’ll be with you when you dream.
