[edit] i'm actually really looking forward to going back to japan in summer, and taking jap lessons next yr (: haha. i'm obsessed with japanese culture. well i would be obsessed with chinese culture too if i wasn't chinese i suppose -.- i just like cultures that are rich with traditions and customs. from drinking tea, to temples, to even the formal way of greeting someone. i find it all so interesting and meaningful. things are done for a reason, and not just randomly and without thought. its quite funny how much i've grown to appreciate asian cultures since i've been in london. while london will still be one of my favourite places in the world to be.. it just lacks that refineness, that elegant tradition and culture of the japanese or chinese (when i say chinese i don't mean sporean chinese. haha. ie china chinese). london has its history, so much of it. but at times i tend to find it just feels so falsely built. haha. i can't really explain it either. shrugs. but yeh, i'm looking forward to japan (((: to sit in a teahouse, with tea and ricecakes. [/edit]

yawns. i'm actually really tired. though i've been having at least 5 hours of sleep a day. and that's more than i used to have in jc. but it feels like the amount of energy i spend in london, having to be responsible for everything in my life just drains me sometimes. and i need to sleep so much. but i don't feel like sleeping. cos i finally have e time to do nonsense random things that makes me happy and i don't feel like wasting it on sleeping. haha.

talking to my parents makes me surprisingly happy (: its been a long time since i haven't had any parent-child angst. hahaha. maybe it comes with growing up and standing on equal grounds now. haha.

I HAPPY I HAPPY I HAPPY (((: jerrine's in london :DDDD she came by to visit just now. spent a few hours in my room screaming, screeching and being sho happy (: yayness. portobello market on saturday! whee. how i've missed that girl :p haha.

plus MORE okonomiyaki with shib & hopefully cuiyin tmr. -claps-
