THE WANTS
Disclaimer: T suggested this; I'm not so bhb.

3. Coin spoons from Ireland. (Click to see blog post and picture)

4. So frivolous but oh-so-pretty.


THAT'S ALL! THANKS! :D (hahahaha)

books, limbo, ninja, weight, troubles

You never thought these five things could ever appear together ehh.

***

I've finally finished all the books I've borrowed over the short break. I had two more to go: John Green's Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns.

Shows how far technology has come - I knew about John Green the Youtuber before I knew about John Green the writer. Hur. Logically speaking, shouldn't it be the other way round? But nothing is logical anymore ey.

His books are interesting. I would go so far as to compare him to a modern not-quite-at-his-level-but-on-the-way F. Scott Fitzgerald. And considering that The Great Gatsby is one of my favourite books, that is paying him a damn huge compliment.

These two books are actually written for youth, so I'm kinda a bit overaged (admitting to my not-so-youth for once hurrr) but I still enjoyed them. I recommend them!

*

It sucks being in limbo about things. I hate uncertainty. It is the cause of the messed-up-ness that was me this morning. Urgh. Messed up. Too many things to do. Don't know how to fit things nicely so that I can do all the things I want to do and not think about wrong things at wrong times.

*

The scald mark on my hand is healing. Writing is a bit of an issue though. The way I'm holding a pen now resembles how I would hold a calligraphy brush. And my handwriting is obviously not fantastic as a result. Lesson learnt from this incident: be careful when handling hot coffee nowadays. You never know when there's a ninja out to bump into you accidentally anytime, anywhere.

*

Y said that she thought I lost a lot of weight over the hols and asked if I was well. I was like, wahhhhh that's the best thing I've had since the year started teeheehee. And for the record no leh I don't think I have, and the last I weighed was at EE's house when I baked the biscotti and I still weighed the same as the previous time I weighed which was in November. Though I DID wonder how come it didn't increase when I have been eating quite good food over the holidays. Suddenly metabolism so good ah. Of course I'm not complaining. Keep it up, yo.

*

I shall sleep to take my troubles away. Though how to have restful sleep when I'm thinking of the troubles? Haiyo.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ☃ RUIQI ★♥♦♣♠
ruiqic26@gmail.com

Hello.

The name is Rui Qi (pronounced 'Ray Chee', yes 'q' has a ch- sound like that of 'church'). But I have also heard enough manglings of my name to respond to anything that you may wish to call, so you're in luck there.

The link is childish, I know. But it's stuck with me so long, I can't bear to change it.

If you're new here, I spell moi as mua, and pecah lobang as picha lobang. It's called poetic license.

Don't take what I say at face value. Don't read too much to things, either. If you read Chinese, 不要对号入座也别胡思乱想.

If you watch Youtube vloggers, on a scale of Charlie McDonnell to Alex Day, I am more on the Alex Day end.

I like witty. If you are witty, I like you already.

I am agnostic.

"Before you assume, learn the facts. Before you judge, understand why. Before you hurt someone, feel. Before you speak, think."
