The words 'Memo Flora' were written by the poet Kenji Miyazawa on the cover of a notebook that contained notes for a diagram of the placement of flowers (melody) in a flowerbed (score).II Petals - A light Andante, like flower petals floating on the water. A faint song on the quietly flowing water appears and disappears like a dream of long ago.

blog hopping has eaten up my time again. i was supposed to go to bed 1.5 hrs ago! >.<
anyway i have realised how pretty all my primary school friends have grown into.
wanga has a very scary list posted on her locked blog on the list of prcs from rjc hci and vjc that are in the top unis in us/uk. seems like more rjc-ians are in uk and hci-ians are in us. am very very jealous and intimidated. heez. er...well you can ask me for the list if you are curious. i guess dear dq won't mind.
yup but i'm all settled to have a wonderful uni life. so what if i get to go somewhere far and prestigious..i might get homesick again and there's high possibility that i won't be able to click with the people there. and i would most probably turn into a hermit again. at least being in sg makes home nearer. and at least i won't get THAT homesick anymore. yup but i am aiming to go somewhere else for my graduate studies..if i can make it. yahh and also settle the financial problems lahh.
i've been wondering, what if i get accepted for smu or nus law? should i really go for it? but law isn't exactly what i want to do. i think i would rather do linguistics/mass comm/literature. i hope God won't give me a hard time making decisions.
finally finished fh13, i think it is the most uninteresting volume in the series..to me lahh because the whole book focused on fighting and war. very boring for me. am reading mansfield park by jane austen now! it seems quite nice....hopefully i can finish the whole of jane austen's series by end of may. target!
i have been downloading a lot of random music lately..currently listening to this korean indie band(i think) called slow 6..surprisingly, its quite nice and pleasant! nights...eyelids drooping
