朝霧

日曜。きれいな一日、朝からずっと晴れていだ、温かいので、川の隣に本を読んでいた。でも週末の街は大勢の人で溢れる、大嫌い。朝は本当に一日の中一番すばらしいと思う、霧の中から太陽が顔を出して、どこでも静かだ。
夜はちょっと変なレストランへ行った、でも新しい友達が会った、一緒にbubble teaを飲みに行くことにした : ) 
おなかいっぱい、明日美味しい朝ご飯を作ろう。
今、癒しの音楽を聞きたい?もうそろそろ寝なくちゃ

深藍

first mulled wine of 2011
raspberry and fig in dark blue sky

午夜

University Library/UL is really a sight to visit, the little staircases, tiny corridors and that insanely abnormal lift lol. Doesn't seems to be something that exist in 21st century.
I managed to find somewhere that I really like in this strange library. It's cozy, the ceilings are low, books are small, with a window, and rarely anybody walk passes :P
Yesterday, I felt too tired to walk home, today, i felt impossible to walk home, with the many books I borrowed, all hardcover... ventured through a new path, walked through some pretty gardens, and saw a fat little white cat, almost surreal.
tired.
time for some self-criticism for my essay

提灯

I feel too tired to walk home.
done tonnes of walking and meeting people today, been to Uni Library, AMES library, met sijia, betts, alyona and erica, separately. went on bookshop crawl, while carrying 6+ books + laptop. it's so great to sit down in solitude now.
the sky was beautiful today, the coffee I made was great. but now I just feel tired. And after my serious reading-indulgence, it's once again time to revise my previous writing, and email my supervisor.
I came to an answer to my previous struggle.
I like the sofa, lighting and the old books here, I wanna have a nice home. Yeah, just finished email to supervisor!
I cannot let myself to write anything that is second-rate in my heart, and cannot let myself to just say it without materializing it anymore! edited/21:14, i started off feeling extremely tired and annoyed 3 hours ago, now feeling calm and happy, a nice way to spend the evening, on my own, reading, and finishing at least some work.

秋空

I wonder if I particularly enjoy here, or do I always just enjoy where ever I am at. But think about it, when was the last time, I re-emerged myself into thinking/speaking fully and comfortably in English only, not have to turn on the computer for days but just enjoy real life, the present, cultivate relationship with people around me, indulge actively in activities in the community, read with delight and sense of awakening... today- lunch with Faye;class; seminar on history of illustration of ABC; Love Art After Dark @ Fitz museum; dinner with faye and gab. tomorrow. continue to work.

蜂蜜

Well, we jumped in the air, the squid, shrimp, salmon, catfish etc. all got really dizzy inside our stomaches, as if they were put into a tumbling washing machine. not to mention the shock puppy face felt after walking through soho lol, maybe the chinese food comforted his soul, where as renoir comforted ours. regained confidence, gabby climbed up the lion of trafalgar square, and betts overcame her fear so she didnt' had to stay on the plinth in the cold : )
happy day in London, and now - study hard! hopefully coming week won't be way too eventful but have lots to look forward for the weekend. n i m actually looking forward to my lemon yoghurt in ceramics pot & oatmeal for breakfast.

つき

It is hardly worth the effort to try to grow up into - and live fully within - a world that is not full of wonder. - Bruno Bettelheim, 'Children and Museums' It's our dept's open day today : ) look at our home-baked cupcakes featuring beatrix potter's characters! It's also guy fawkes night, could have been to a home thai cooking party, or a spicy hotpot party... but I chose to read in the library... Felt like there's no point going if my throat doesn't produce sound. and we are going to London tomorrow!
