wanted:

along with a ps3 of course.

Three Cups of Tea

inspirational book.
It was recommended to me by my civics teacher (she's cool), definitely an empowering if not good read. It's Greg Mortenson's life story and how Central Asia Institute came to be.

What we're trying to do might just be a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less because of the missing drop

Greg's paraphrasing of a famous Mother Teresa quotation.

What amazed me the most was not how successful he became (that itself is amazing), but how he persisted throughout the numerous obstacles and hardships. My fatal flaw is that I don't follow through on my goals, so reading this book was a "gosh weijie, your tasks are nothing compared to this, stop contemplating and just go do it!"

so I will try to follow my own advice.
...good book, go read it!

brunch: good ol' pasta

Penne with what I call as my blend of stuff for sauce.

"my blend of stuff" is actually really good. Tasty, filling, super easy, and probably cheap enough for me to make when I move out one day. Yes I like planning ahead, actions are overrated, go thoughts! (don't listen to that).

Basically it's: chopped up onions, ground beef, roughly chopped up tomatoes, and whatever spice and sauce you like, personally: oregano, basil, and ragu. First you brown the meat, then add in the onions, saute until the onions are whatever colour you like (me likely just turning translucent), add in the spice, tomatoes and sauce and cook until the pasta is done cooking.

today's dessert:

Milk served granita style. Forgot to drizzle with honey before taking the pic.

I'm pretty sure granita isn't the right terminology, but it's close enough in texture and consistency. Made it with the same method too, sans sugar. I would love to have this for breakfast in the summer *u*

Panda hat

hahahaa..haha.a....hhahahahaha
I suddenly remembered all my adventures in rf last night, which resulted in me laughing myself to sleep. Good times hahahahaa.



Let's seeeee: ghc days were fun, stupid people that lured the dl to the center, made me waste so many gems. Then it was av, fun watching people pk in the caves. Followed by...lou, which was basically a repeat of av. Then I trained in niff and rachel or way too long, probably cause I refuse to use honeys. I remember how insanely happy I was when I finally had enough to buy that rudra...

Somewhere in between I joined sps, love that guild :] Awesome people in there *wink* Guild wars was so hectic, I was pretty useless XD Lots of thanks for getting me all the way to 99 and back up to the 80s. One specific event that I remember was the kieh quest, we tried sooooo many times. Darn the mobs right before the boss, always died there. Tried at least 20 or so times before the entire party was done.

I've finally achieved my goal of having a real life panda hat >D

错过惊世的依恋

Oh how I wish my life was an adventure of epic proportions.
On second thought, nah. Normal's good enough for me :] been reading too much ares.

v really good drama. I've said this before, but damn what a sad ending. They completely changed the later part from the game, game = happy, everyone lives, drama = everyone but 2 (different couples) dies, some very grueling death. You can skip the first 30 secs or so, just some intro. Video includes clips from the actual show, the main character looks intensely cool in his previous life armour.
bonus points: 飛魚, one of the singers, comes from the same place as me ;D



此生不換-青鳥飛魚

时光穿不断 流转在从前
刻骨的变迁 不是遥远
再有一万年 深情也不变
爱像烈火般蔓延

记忆是条长线 盘旋在天边
沉浮中以为情深缘浅
你再度出现 我看见誓言
承诺在水天之间

回头看不曾走远 依然目光此生不换
要分散不习惯 怎么算都太难
分开之后更勇敢 愿这爱世代相传

唱不完忘情泉 不让你如烟
前尘再怀恋 望剑如面
挥舞的瞬间 别再闭上眼
错过惊世的依恋

回头看不曾走远 眷恋一人流连忘返
多少汗够温暖 你哭喊我呼唤
听清耳边的呢喃 别害怕风轻云淡

回头看不曾走远 依然目光此生不换
要分散不习惯 怎么算都太难
分开之后更勇敢 愿这爱世代相传

To meet each other in our present lives, we must have had at least 3000 encounters in our previous lives

forgot where that came from. seems fitting.

coming/going

So my dad leaves again.
It's just a regular routine, somehow this time feels wee bit sad. I think I know why: somewhere deep down in my mind, I'm scared that he might not come back, and this time I have basis for my fear.

but some much greater news: ARES V22 IS OUT <3 *happy happy happy*
I am completely crushing over Icarus. he is perfection *u*

resolution revists

Since Canada has achieved it's goal of winning gold in men's hockey, I should check on how mine are going.

....it's not going hahaha.
Olympics pretty much screwed my sleeping. Most events that I watched started at around 9 and lasted till 11/12. So much for sleeping BEFORE 11 eh? Funny speeches at the closing ceremony though (FLYING MOOOOOOSE <3).

So obviously long term goals, at least regarding sleep, aren't my thing. Time to try some short term ones:
1. Shopping ban till march break! grrr. This will be tough, very very tough. Haven't bought anything major (except for a carbtree&evelyn lip balm) since January, going well.
2. Read more booooooks. I have a whole list of things to read.

may my lovely fortune tree bring good luck

my webcam skills are inferior to kenn's D:
