Thanksgiving B®eak

Thanksgiving weekend was rather busy, and demanding. Starting with a 6 hours and 30 minutes bus ride to New York on Wednesday. My second trip for the semester. It usually takes only about 4 hours to go from Boston to New York, however, since this is the thanksgiving weekend, traffic was rather heavy. So, instead of a 4 hours journey, it drag on to like 6 hours nearly 7.
Upon arriving, I met up with Sammi, dear cousin from Cornell. We took a cab to the hostel, drop our bags off, and went out for the first meal of the day!! Got back to the hostel with a rosy cheek due to drinking, and slept.

The original plan was to watch the Macy's parade on Thursday morning, which was on Thanksgiving day. However, in order to get the perfect seat to watch the parade, people get in line at 3am in the morning! When was the last time I wake up at 3am?! I'm srue by now my wise reader had figure out that Sammi and I missed the parade! We lied to our parents, so please to keep it low. lOlz.. We got up at 10ish, when the parade is over. The whole day was spent walking and walking..We probably walked like a whole 50 blocks..By the end of the day, I was so tired of walking, can't wait to go back and sleep!!and of course, prepared for the day, Black Friday!

!!!!!Black Friday!!!!! This time, we woke up at 5am in the morning, arrived at Macy at 6am! Never had I been so punctual in my entire life. By 6am, Macy was full of people, and angry looking sales people. After shopping for like 4 hours in Macy, we decided to head off to 5th Ave. All the way till evening, when we finally have our nice dinner at Little Italy. Believe me, it was a very exciting day. I had a long paragraph on black friday, but stupid stupid me accidentally deleted everything!! sighs..

Before I could regain all my energy, I was on my way back to Boston. This time, the journey was rather smooth. I took the 10am bus, and arrived at Boston around 2pm. The scenery along the way was rather sad..snow on the side of the road, *botak trees*, and of course road. I used to think that snow is so beautiful, until I came to Boston. Except for the first snow, I have a feeling that I'll hate snow after this. I can't imagine how harsh winter could be, for I haven't experience it yet..Dragging yourself out from your warm cozy bed, putting on layers and layers of clothings, force yourself out of the door, ready to be tortured by the brutal nature...iekk...

***Back to Boston***
Met up with Yenny and Mayumi at Shaws, got our groceries, and headed back to Yen's to cook. Peepz, I made chicken curry!! We had sushi, spring rolls, chicken curry and 2 chocolate cakes!! The thanksgiving dinner was rather successful, a small party, but loads of fun. Eat, talk and drink!!! fun, fun, fun!! Pics will explain it all...

I wish you love

I wish you bluebirds in the spring,
to give you heart a song to sing,
and then a kiss but more than this,
I wish you love.

And in july, a lemonade,
to cool you in some leafy glade,
I wish you health and more than wealth,
I wish you love.

My breaking heart and I agree,
that you and I could never be,
so with my best, my very best,
I set you free.

I wish you shelter from the storm,
a cozy fire to keep you warm,
but most of all,
when snow flakes fall,
I wish you love.

Boston is back to its rainy days again. The cloudy sky..rain drops falling on my head..cold wind blowing at my face..
Walking down Newbury St., I often wonder when is my shelter going to appear...
A broken heart, is hard to mend, especially during the cold cold days of winter. Keep wondering...keep waiting...keep searching...
Now..
This very moment, I decided to stop wondering, stop pondering, stop yearning, stop waiting, stop...
Stop seems such a strong word, rather, give up.

Updates

First of all, the title wasn't meant to be updates. Again, poor me, with limited vocabulary, ran out with words/ titles.

So far, the week had been productive. I had got some practice done, homework all set, I even worked out for 2 hours? on friday!! The biggest achievement of the week would be cleaning up my apartment on friday night till 5a.m on Saturday! My apartment is spotless now!!wooohoo...My whole body is aching, but I'm so energize. I have no idea what's wrong with me, is that even a good sign? Maybe it is....

Oh well, Saturday was spent walking and shopping at Cambrigde the Galleria with Ieva, Mayumi and Yenny. I bought myself an iPod, my 2005 christmas present! The new 30G ipod video!! It took me a while to finally decide on it. Now I have a collection of apple products. The *apple* of my eye..as Sammi said.

After a long day, we decided to watch a movie. We actually decided to watch Harry Potter, but since Mayumi wasn't there, we decided to watch it other time. Instead of watching Harry Potter, we watched Prime! Which I personally think will be better than Harry...but..I'll definitely watch little Harry this week or so. Anyways, back to Prime. It's been so long since I last watch a movie and cry. The last one was....I don't know...

I'm confused. Sometimes, I wonder if it would be better not to start if it's gonna end. Then again, you wouldn't really know if you don't get it started. Which is worse, to love and let go? or not to love at all. The ironic part about the movie was that, they both love each other, but, why not end up together. Maybe the saying of a relationship doesn't just take love is true. She's 37 and he's 23... a relationship takes responsibilities? what does it take to get started??...

Urgent Prayer Request

My aunt in Texas was admitted into the hospital with a tumour in her brain...She will be going for an operation next monday. So, please pray for her and her family, may they stay strong and safe throughout!

Holidaying in Texas

I'm visiting my family in San Antonio, Texas for the long weekend! I never realize how much I missed my parents and my lovely brothers. Yes, I do think that they're lovely. Andrew is much taller than me now, to my surprise, Aaron and Adrian are both catching up too!! gosh..I have a feeling that by next summer, I'll be the shortest in the family!*sigh..*

Andrew, Aaron and I stayed up till 2 last night talking about...hmmpm..their mysterious love life. It was so funny. I can't stop laughing at the fact that how much my brothers have grown physically and mentally. They're now talking about the girls that they're interested in or the girls that are interested in them. geezz..kids now a days..So unbeliveable!! Here goes one of the funny conversation...

Andrew: so aaron, I heard that there's this girl who's interested in you. Who's she?
Aaron: hmm..she's fat and ugly.
*me laughing silently*...
Andrew: How did you find out that she likes you?
Aaron: The girls were doing some paper cutting stuff, and I wasn't in the class. So, the girl suddenly pop up with a phrase, *Aaron is so man*!!
*me laughing hysterically now..*
Andrew: Why did she say that you're man?
Aaron: Cuz I help her with her bandage once..

3 of us started laughing...
