birthday cards

as my days of being 19 are coming to an end pretty soon, i received 2 birthday cards already. one's from anna. funny lady. said that i was made up of 1 tablespoon of prawn brain, (no wonder i don't eat prawns. they're my ancestors you see :P) 1 tablespoon of fragrance (i am assuming nice smelling ones. or is she refering to my 10 year old's smell?) and unlimited spoonfuls of confidence. hahaha! na, if you're reading this...if that's how people create a baby, i think i would not only have 4 kids, (as what i've always wanted) but at least 10! thanks a lot though! no one has been that original before :)

i received the second card today. yes, it's from my sis, my lil bro and mom. apparently, yongma tried to copy melin's 'without love' comment, but melin immediately cancelled out the 'out' which left 'with love' for yongma. ahh! how i miss home! just like michael buble's home. another summer day has come and gone away. in paris or rome. but i wanna go home. indeed, it's true. there's no better place than home. despite the 6 pm prayer announcement from the nearby mosque, mom's constant wake up reminder at 6 am and not many friends back at home, home is where i belong. the heaven of food and loved ones.

i'm going to my ex-roommie's (from europe trip, not my dear roommie at purdue) graduation ceremony tomorrow. besides being the photographer (love it!), i want to know the differences between the ceremonies in the united states and here. are your names gonna be up on the ohp? or they're calling your name in dignity while you shake hands with the president of the university. it's going to be very interesting.

and i realized that though i'm not really on holiday mood, my vacation has actually eaten up my science and mathematics skills. i can't calculate right. when i do substitutions, some of the terms will most likely be missing at the end. there's once in which the prof had the notes written wrongly for the area of a circle and i still followed it for my coursework. dumb!!! i need to wake up. or maybe practise punching the right numbers on my calculator.

and yes, i think i am losing my appetite these days. would just have 2 meals per day. (anna, your fault! you asked me to go on diet! that might cause some psychological war in my brain!) and sleeping has been my main priority each day. i could sleep for more than 8 hours per night. whoa...signs of aging? don't know! but give it sometime and i think i will be fine.

i guess i will be home this march. god bless me!
