i moved to Clementi today. it was nice of the landlady to give me a lift to the new place, where i'm gonna spend my next half month before flying home. and it was nice of the people here who helped me carry all the stuffs to the flat. or i would have been too tired to rush off to SMU right away.

i kind of miss River Valley, a little bit perhaps. the place's small. and i hardly get to talk to the people there. but i miss how i was right in town. i miss the food place i always went to and ordered huge servings (so often that i think the people know what i want even before i say it). i miss the memories of occasional visits...

ah never mind. i think i'm being too emotional =) oh i spent 4 hours packing everything. realized i'd been keeping things of memories more than of use :) small little things that mean more to me than my huge bags of nice clothes...

it's been busy... meeting project groups in the days and working on my parts for the projects in the nights... and i still go on... i don't know how... like i've been having so little sleep... life could really suck... when there're so few things that interest me and when people i wanna see most are often not around (or not at all)...

i miss home... it's Mom's birthday... gonna call her after i bathe... hope she remembers it's her birthday... she never does the past years... Mom, i wanna bring you out for dinner when i'm home this Dec :) i wanna buy you a nice dress to go for the dinner... and Sister could tag along too. and i wanna bring her out for a good haircut and buy her nice clothes to go with us. i'll look good myself :)

11:44pm ~ just called home (the line didn't connect for like 5 minutes and i was afraid i had to just message her happy birthday). Mom remembers :) turned out that my sister'd set the alarm to remind her of her own birthday hahaha. Mom told me the same old things, that i need to study hard, that i shouldn't go out too often and take care of my health, that i should only spend on what's necessary :) i love her naggings hahaha.

and they're just eagerly waiting for my trip home :)
