i haven't been in here in like forever.

(i'm right now lying in bed with my lappy on my tummy, waiting for my darling to call. but i suspect he has fallen asleep. *frowns* so as i while away time, i shall mini-blog.)

i guess i really am the kind of person who needs to just simply talk. regardless if anyone or no one listens. because when i was far far away and lonely, i blogged frequently. like too frequently. because i had no one to talk to. (living alone is not advisable. at all. piece of advice to all aspiring exchange students (haha.) - opt for hall-living. else, you better like loneliness.) i told my blog everything. everything was on my blog. what i did, what i learnt, what i said, what i saw.

now? i am sadly, neglecting my blog. :(

i've got everyone around me what. and at the speed i talk, i can tell everything i need to say, everything that was on my mind in a conversation or two. yup.

marlini spent a couple of hours with me and nydia in the (note this.) library. she was quiet the whole time. and after nydia left, marlini said "you guys talk.. fast.. and furious."
in the library. haha. we got ourselves a discussion room, so we could naturally, talk! which defeated the purpose of going to the library (which was to read up lecture notes.)

ok. so i've got a bergajillion (as always) photos to put up.
see there's this vicious cycle going on. the more time i spend outside with friends, the more pictures i take. and at the same time, the less time i have to blog and put up pictures. so it's like
go out --> take many pictures
also, go out --> no time to blog
therefore, take many pictures but no time to blog.
and as the backlog keeps getting larger, it gets more intimidating to even start!

oklah! photos will be up when they are up!
taaa!~

happy new year!

2005 was over in the blink of an eye.
many many happened.
all of which are running through my head now, but i can't be bothered to put them down here.
but it's ok.
because they're my memories. so being in my head should be good enough for me.
in any case, i can always refer to my blog archives should i forget. haha.

so.
happy new year everyone.
happy 2006.
time to make plans and resolutions for the new year.

piece of advice?
don't.
because expectations suck.
you'll only get disappointed.
