On the 7th day of Chinese New Year, I shall write a blog entry.

First and foremost,

-I would think this speaks for itself :3 -

NEW YEAR CALLS FOR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS RIGHT~ since i didn't bother about most things on the Jan 1 new year since my priority was getting through exams, I decided to start new year resolutions with CNY new year! XD

SO! the few resolutions! This year, I have made effort to set some for myself, and they are:

- no to carbonated drinks, this includes coke!

- Normal sleeping patterns, ie no all nighters, late nights should have a bedtime of 2am, max 3am.. wake up time would be dawn or at least in time for breakfast!

- (this one if for me to know and no one else)

- Prioritize better and be more effective with time.

- Balance life better, don't either just stay cooped up at home online or otherwise, or be at lectures.

- Drink more water!

So far, i'm doing well with resolution no 1 and 2 .. today at dinner i declined coke and ate my dinner dry, only taking gulps of black soy bean drink before and after dinner, been having too normal sleeping patterns the past 1.5 weeks, sleeping ard before midnight or shortly after and waking up at ard 4-5am .. latest was 8-ish am! :D As for Resolution 3, i made effort! but it's not as easy? >.< Resolution 4, i'm aiming for that when semester starts on Monday. Resolution 5, not too bad! Going for the meet up in Dublin was definitely a start, and tried to get Marie and Clare out in the 2 weeks i was off, but timing~ sigh.. owh well, their korean class is starting soon and we'll get to meet again, with Amy too! Hopefully we'll be meeting up over coffee before their class starts, and maybe a random dinner every now and again after their class, I could kill that 2 hours of their class time in the library on the days we manage to do dinner~ sounds productive to me! :D Resolution 6; it's not been going too well either~ it's difficult..but i'm definitely making the effort to change that!

NOW, the past week had been really, erm back to normal? As in I found my old time wasting self again~ The days were mostly filled with online-ing, trolling, and the likes. Watching MBLAQ sesame player killed a good amount of time, then there was Idol Athletics to stream on Monday 23/1,

CNY eve was spent at making a trip to Lee Foods, where i stocked up in Pretz, and found THIS which i had to get; when I first saw it, it instantly reminded me of Ara and a lil bit more :P ~ I initially wanted to go St Georges Market, but looking at the time, and since it's the Sunday market where most are artsy stuff rather than seafood and greens which even just browsing through and not buying will satisfy me, I decided against. Thought i'd just have a walk around the city centre and get what i went for and head home early~ So, in the end, killed some time at Starbucks while waiting for shops to open (they only open at 1pm on sundays); would have prefered to go Cafe Nero to kill time, but they no have wall sockets there, i needed phone battery to last a good few hrs and with trolling even though with wifi, xperia senior no have that stamina unfortunately :(

The shopping trip proved to be a success, since I found what I was looking for and more, and something impromptu which I needed for incase purposes all in less than 1 hr! :D talk about value for money, good shopping! :D On the way home, tucked in to THIS; roast duck and roast pork rice at Same Happy! Happy CNY eve y'all !!

-no more Xmas venti cups :( -

-slurp, Nomz, Slurps,Nomz-

-starter of the CNY eve gathering dinner-

-Instantly got reminded of Ara -

Friday was Derrick's bday, and whaddayaknow, i ended up being incharge of cooking half of whatever we were supposed to cook minus pot luck food! that was rather unexpected lol~ having only knew i volunteered myself when checking the update on the event on facebook, haha... Ended up making assam prawn, mango kerabu and for the first time, Tom yum, and made it from scratch! :D

-The tom yum was good! I choose to believe there's so much leftover cos everyone was shy, there was too much food, and also cos there weren't proper bowls to serve in! -

-after dinner, games, and cake -

-until 7am-

One fine day, a Wednesday, I got bored and went to Sakura for lunch. It was my first time going alone. Of all seats to choose, I chose a corner seat, deep in the restaurant, looking like such a loner XD

-inserts 2ne1's 'lonely'-

TODAY! Eve of the start of final sem! Went for Sakura brunch with Anis, was craving sushi sooo much since seeing the sushi part of Mblaq sesame player? LOL i don't know how much that affected things, but yea i wanted sushi and wanted it bad ! D= I got the opening time mixed up and we ended being at sakura 45 minutes before opening time! Turns out that they open at 1pm on sundays instead of the usual 12pm! So headed to Starbucks to kill time (LOL sounds like EVERYWHERE i go there's a starbucks shadowing me haha)

-Anis's single shot espresso vs my venti Eggnog latte-

-Soft Shell crab and avocado hand roll Nomz!-

OH YES! almost forgot!! As Anis and I were heading to Sakura, guess what was there greeting us! LION DANCE!! I think this is one of the rare times where i stumbled upon a lion dance in action and not go looking for one? We walked in at around the last minutes of its performance, but still !! to be walking in to a Lion dance, in belfast! Shortly after, a second troupe came visiting! Talk about double luck? :D is this trying to say something about 2012? :P

Managed to take 2 videos of each troupe, cos i know all my effort in trying to take pics of a lion dance in action will go to waste (by experience of the number of times at kpop i would say XD)

-round 1-

-round 2-

Usually I feel really excited when new sem (sem 2 of the year) starts; but this time around, i feel uneasy? I think it's a mix of worry + nerves + uncertainty? I'm still not really sure, I guess it's cos this time around, it's not just simply continuing part 2 of the year and chionging with new determination hoping to make the best out of things leading up to May exams, but I actually have my future to worry about, as in what happens next after it all ends? What next? Where next? will i get to graduate? After I graduate, will i leave Belfast for good and continue medicine elsewhere? Or will I stay one more year to do a MSc or *gulp* other reasons?
