Why Georgia by John Mayer

I am driving up 85 in the
kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom

Four more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
and leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia, why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
wood in places to make it feel like home
but all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
or just the stirring in my soul

Either way, I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why, why Georgia, why?

So what, so I've got a smile on me
but it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but
that's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
still "Everything happens for a reason"
is no reason not to ask myself

If your're living it right
Are you living it right?
Are you living it right?
Why, tell me why
Why, why Georgia why?

The Lull Before the Storm

My family has never really been a very traditional one so we have never really celebrated the mid autumn festival before. So its been quite an awesome one really. Although the number of Chinese students here aren't that many but somehow it felt like a big event to me this year.

On the day, we ate mooncakes in the cafe and later adjourned, yes, to carrying lanterns and strolling around the whole college like it was ours! Everyone was taking pictures, and I've got to admit all the colorful lanterns were really beautiful. Besides that, about 50 to 60 of us also went to the nearby temple(佛堂) to celebrate on Saturday.The performances and "fashion shows" by the kids were great and us kmm students were oddly, very..how should we say it?eh, in the mood I suppose. So all in all, a meaningful Mooncake festival this year!

Talking about new experiences, I am proud to say that I have finally donated my blood for the first time! I was quit down that day but after donating my blood, my mood just... lifted^^ I suppose doing something for others once in a while really is good for you. Theory proven! So, more donating blood for me in the future..I hope XD

Truth be told, I'm swamped by all the studying and homework and revision that I have to do right now. ( That's why this post is sort of rushed.) All I see people doing now is study study study cause finals are just around the corner! And I quote our capable non-bumi advisor:" If you don't get 4.00 in the first sem, then you will never get 4.00." I know, I know. If you can't face it now, what are you going to do when you go to university? 

Putting my results aside, I think my new life is making me half crazy right now.( Or maybe I already was?) It's not just the pressure of THE 4.00 really, its.. everything. I wonder, is it possible to have a "quarter-life crisis" like what John Mayer sings in Why Georgia? (lovely song by the way) 

I know I'm getting closer and closer to the time when I simply have to decide what to study.  But luckily, I just thought up my main goal in life- to get a nice job and earn some money to be able to firstly, help save the world(don't laugh, com'on someone has to do it right?), second, travel the world and thirdly, make a movie(or movies?). Okay, I really am half crazy. Even so,  I am simply too tired to care now.

Wish me luck in PSPM(finals)! 

p.s. I dedicate the my next post to John Mayer's Why Georgia.

"Undepress" me

Been a tad bit depressed these few days. Maybe because.. I'm thinking of the inevitable? God I wish I didn't have to go back. But life has to go on right? I chose to go so I can't blame anyone for feeling miserable sometimes.

So, here I thought about some of the things that have made me lose the long face and I shall dedicate this post to them.

First off, MOVIES and DRAMAS

P.S. I Love you- Sad but nice

Julie and Julia- Very nice and funny too. Julia Child is inspiring! She made me feel better. Not to mention all the delicious food. 

 

The Korean Version of "Playful Kiss" 韩版恶作剧之吻 - Sure, I only watched four episodes but it made me feel tons better. My brother would call it a stupid show( no surprise there>.<) but hey, its entertaining and funny^^

Second, BOOKS

Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex- Not bad, but not as good as the previous ones.

Ok I succeeded in reading only one book this week. Again I'm wishing I could rot at home like the time after SPM. But no, I will not dwell on the past anymore! 

Geez, sorry everyone for the not-very-cheery me recently. I am such an idiot sometimes. I need to find a goal or a dream or whatever it is right now, or else everything seems pointless somehow. Wish me luck!
