Hey, Soul Sister

Here's a song that is stuck on my head whilst reading the last book of the Elizabeth series.
It's a new song from Train (a pretty cool band, I reckon). I first heard it on the drama Medium and it got stuck on my head since. Here's the compliment. Sit back, relax and enjoy!

Sweet Valley High

So I've mentioned about Sweet Valley High on my last post. I've been watching it on Youtube and my mobile. I've been really obsessed with the whole series and I've finished watching season 1! But what's the point? There's only one season on world wide web, yes, mark my words, only ONE season! Which means my hopes of finishing all four seasons would be shattered! Oh well, I can't complain much because I ought to get on with life.

I've been really exhausted these days, been working a lot this week and I realised I don't have the time to work out at all (the credits go to SVH, don't they?)! So, I think today's a good day for me to do some things at home - not much, just a list I've drawn out few days ago - as a way to move on with my life. First things first, I'll be meeting Li in a while, then we'll be going to Uni - which no longer has a place for me - so she can do some studying while I upload the remaining few documents needed for my visa. Then, I'll come home to make dinner (I've actually forgotten how to cook after all these times!), do some washing, laundry (if I get the time) and just cleaning up my room. Believe, it may sound easy but all these tasks actually take me forever to complete, and obviously it has much to do with my slackness =p

It's hard for me to express my feelings in my blog as I think they are very personal on one hand, and it's also going out to too many people on the Internet. Well, it's the new era, isn't it? And I don't trust myself to keep a diary without letting someone seeing it. I've got so much to say but my mind is drained from many hours of work this week. I guess I'll close with one of the quotes I jotted down from church's bookshop and it relates to what I'm feeling right now.

when there are no words...
know that the silences are carrying
the thoughts and prayers
of all who love you

Bad Day

Hello people! I know it has been ages since I've added something to my blog. I'm going to blog more often - a promise to self - if I get the chance. Things have changed pretty much since my last post. I'm back in Perth, working on more than 2 casual jobs, on my bridging visa to become an Australian TR and looking for a real job. The word 'real' here does refer to journalism jobs. Nonetheless, it's what I'd love to do and I'm going to pursue my dreams amid adversities! Whoa, I couldn't imagine myself being that persistent! Have you heard about or read the Sweet Valley series? I picked some up from Li's bookshelf lately. Memories of middle school flooded me and I kind of ponder on my current life. I mean I can't say my life is totally like Elizabeth's, but, we do have similarities. Like the writing part that we loved, the love life, perhaps. I broke down after finishing the Elizabeth series and this thought came to my mind: What would I be if i've taken a different path after high school? Would everything be the same? Or would I land in England? I guess that's a lot to ponder for an optimist like me, and that's why I broke down. I'm afraid I gotta go now. See you soon!
