happy dango.

retail therapy. the instantaneous gratification that shopping grants can be a great respite. too bad i can't shop for hours on end, not like ling who can go on NON STOP. in fact, i was already half dead in less than an hour, hahahah.

so there, i'm not a good shopping partner, very much the opposite of ling. she's really the BEST! but i'm not the lousiest i know ok, yanru is the ultimate who abhors shopping so much so that she does her research beforehand, in order to walk into a shop and grab her wants and OUT in less than 10 minutes. AND there goes spontaneity!

and what's shopping without energy boosts from yummy food! hahaha. ling flew across taka, heading straight for the jap booth that sells dango only on weekends.

i had a great time being dragged around town by ling, even though i was the one who had insisted on dragging her to town. it didn't take much to drag her there, though.

despite my pledging to be there for her these 6 months, i know that she has tried to depend on noone but herself. a typical gemini & leo combination, someone whose pride prevents her from revealing her true self, someone who keeps her friends by her side - and only by the side. i can tell just how much she misses them. granted, it's really hard when the ones you care about most leave your side, for 6 months at a go, one after another. but what's comforting is that he'll be back soon yes? :D

(and then, there's xy. argh! i'm sorry that i forgot my prior appointments. and i hope you are really fine now.)

(not forgetting, of course, jy jiayou for your exams! :D)

hanging around orchard at night never fails to make me nostalgic. soon, it'll be christmas. soon, it'll be 2009. soon, it'll be chinese new year. soon, it'll be valentines. soon, it'll be exams.

soon, we'll all be 21. will it be just another birthday? does it really mark another milestone of our lives? well.

how fast, oh how fast time flies. it's times like these that drive deep the wedge. but don't try to race against time, because it tires you out. befriend time. let it work for you.
