20-22 Feb 2009 - Winter at Lake Placid

for a record of stuffs i did during this Winter,

especially Lake Placid which such a wintery place!!

totally love that small cold yet warm town...

snow was falling the whole weekend when i was there!

though it makes driving hard and dangerous...

it's an experience! haha~~

wonder when i will have such a winter again??

i'm not the strongest person during winter season...

i caught a cold so often that it become a norm!

i think i grew stronger now~

how i like to be lazy staying indoor,

tuck under the blanket with heater on...

looking out the window hoping more snow will fall...

snacking with a cup of warm drink in front of TV...

OR

being crazily outdoor in the cold,

wrapped up like a sumo wrestler...

behaving like a child upon seeing snow...

falling like a Humpty Dumpty trying to ski...

having an adventure of a lifetime...

so I do like Winter too actually!

Random~~

the 1st Spring rain was here today~

smell of the fresh rain and mist in the air

marks the end of Winter i guess...

as much as i'm anticipating the Spring to come,

especially those pretty cherry blossoms;

hoping the white snow could stay a while more,

cos i'm yet to make my snowman!

Spring also marks the last season for me in US...

coming Summer i will be heading home~

happy or sad?? i don't know...

all i know is to treasure the time left,

appreciate what's instore for me everyday,

enjoy to the fullest!

******

a short trip back to SG makes me realise a few things -

my parents miss me big time!

though nothing was said but i felt it...

yet they let me do whatever i want~

i had taken some or alot of things for granted!

i missed out quite a bit of things too...

especially happening around friends that i care...

i feel bad not being there or nearby

when they needed some help or support...

well...maybe some things cannot be avoid...

when one's being selfish, to pursue one's desire...

*you win one, you lose the other*

11-16 Mar 2009 - Xinrong's Big Day

though it's a week off from work,

i'm physically in SG for 2 1/2 days....63 hrs!

rest of it, i'm up in the air,

jetting back and fro around the globe...

*sheer craziness*

tiring and exhausted from all the events going on,

a total of max. 6 hrs of sleep for 3 days,

seriously i don't know how i did it??

but i managed to keep myself busy and awake,

not "wasting" any time on "resting"...

i'm still glad i made this trip back...

at least i know my presence was appreciated,

my parents got to see that i'm well and fine,

had lotsa fun helping out and participating the wedding!

i'm really happy to be there for her special day too.

cant wait to see the photos...

for now, i need my beauty sleep....A LOT~

Congrats...Mr and Mrs Ong!

28 Feb 2009 - A New Phase

it's the 1st night in a new place again...

i'm feeling really tired now!

all the packing...moving...cleaning...

unpacking...cleaning...setting up...

pretty excited staying with 2 new housemates!

instead of an apartment, it's a house...

and i have a new cute little room...

other 4 months to go...

feels like i will be flying back home in a blink...

time just seems to zoom pass~

i don't know???

not that i don't wanna be back in SG,

guess i just haven't had enough of US

or i like it here already...

but i'm now a neither-here-nor-there situation...

i'm at life's crossroad again!

sometimes i wonder if my choice is/was right or wrong?

having experience a life differently

from the majority of my peers,

others envy my experiences,

having so much which i would have never expected,

yet i ponder....

what will i been now if i had not taken that 1st step?

would i be equally happy and enjoying the life path

like most of them...simple and settled~
