LO...LO...LO...VE...Suzanna shudders.
Mei walks off.
The entire string ignores me.
I sing that song with
feeling okay!I just wanna say, thank you all for being there for me, since, well, forever. It doesn't matter even if you just listen. It doesn't matter even if all you do is hug me. It doesn't matter if you chide me (or shout at me) for feeling that way. It doesn't matter even if all you do is drop me an encouraging note. It doesn't matter even if all you do is call/msg and ask if i'm alright.
Because. I appreciate it and I love you all for it.
did i ever tell you you're my hero? =)I really should practice what I preach. But hell, I really DO NOT want to go. -
day #4
Again, we were spared from the torture of waking up early. We went to the xi'an city wall..? Then the bell and drum tower. Then we went shopping, at the street markets la.
Bargaining is not as simple as you think it is. It sure as hell is tiring! I am not a good bargain-er, or whatever you call it. The moment you start bargaining, the people there look as if they're hiding a parang and are ready to kill you there and then. Man, they are FIERCE! Thankfully I had Zhang laoshi to help me. =) The moment you actually stop, and touch any of their wares, they'll stand up and rush to you, silently willing you to buy it. That's why jo didn't touch anything, while I touched and got glowered at.
I was gleefully buying stuff with the aid of zhang laoshi, and then, POOF. I drifted away from her. I was alone with jo. And you all know jo, she DOESN'T buy anything! She walks around as if she's window shopping at Orchard. -.- I was busy eyeing stuff to get for you people la. Then I saw the four seasons paintings. Man, I fell in love with it. So I decided to go for it.
I tried to bargain. But I gave up, cos I simply suck at it. Thankfully, zhang laoshi appeared and saved the day! And then a miracle happened. JO SAID SHE WANTED ONE SET TOO. Haha.
After the entire shopping thing, we all compared prices. Some of us were cheated la. I felt damn cheated for the painting thing. HMPH. Went back to the hostel. I fell asleep, and I woke up 10 mins before dinner. Heh. Sorry if I was rude to any of you. There was quite abit of noise and I was really trying to sleep.
The Maris Stella guys arrived that evening. Jinli was excited. HAHAHA.

Everyone, do smile at the world alright? The world's lacking smiles. There are many things to smile at. Even that irritating cat downstairs deserves a smile. Even that grouchy auntie selling fishball noodles deserves one.
Love's essential. I know for sure, I can't live without it. How about you?
If you don't feel loved, you can come to me. I'll smile and love you! =)
