i've got to stop returning to the hostel so late. it's affecting my sleeping pattern. especially when you factor in the shower to wash out the cigarette smoke from my hair and the time to hang around online like a homeless bum.

the weekend's here! i'm running seriously low on finances. i bought a coat today. or should i say i paid the deposit. but i'm so broke that i can only pay the remainder next week. it's bright yellow!

bath time. it's late as usual. night world.

can't you hear it sing?

i'm delirously happy again. i was eating an orange and i was grinning to myself! (the above encompasses a lot. 1. i don't peel my own orange coz i can't be bothered, but i was happy enough to. 2. i ate the WHOLE orange. 3. i was smiling and eating it at the same time. all 3 are very rare occurences seeing that peeling oranges is nothing as therapeutic as peeling guavas.)

by the way, my face is completely weird. it's dry and red in patches. i can't understand the weather. it's like worse on my left than right.
i don't even understand why i should be happy. coz i haven't applied yet and i understand that there's all this crap to attend to.

maybe it's a good karma month coz that's what some internet site says. march is my power month. but i'd really hate for march for end if that's the case. besides april's known to be some unpredictable little rainy lass.

rika-chan was helping me with choosing a japanese name today. maybe i may use mizuki. but that's highly unlikely coz the translation sounds way too nice.
14 of us classmates went for lunch today at a japanese restaurant. it was pretty nice. cute tatami setting.
and rika let me look at some japanese books so i can sort of learn some jap. i know how to say where's the toilet and i need to se the toilet now. and i taught rika some english. me is feeling happy!
and there's this korean guy in my class who i think looks really sweet. and he blushes! that's so cute. okay i'm insane.

now i must be serious. i'm having serious cashflow problems! i even received some sms, worded really nicely abot doing public relations. it actually meant that it was hiring prostitutes.
so anyway, 2 people owe me 28RMB. so that makes like 56RMB some 20% of my allowance.

was out with rika the other day and we came across this really cute photo studio which does 'old' photos. so you can wear costumes from any period. including Tang dynasty and 1930s Shanghai. it's so quaint! gonna save money for it and i'll go when i'm about to leave.

ciao folks! oyasumi nasai.

aw shucks.
the heater in my room is wonky again.

but i'm deliriously happy. no honey, didn't find a boyfriend yet*smirks*
it's coz i'm coming home! after a month. didn't think i'd be coming back. but since the applications for university is a tad problematic, so i'm coming home for a few days next week.

i think i miss the sun. t's just sad that when i get back here it'll be school immediately so i may start my homesickness all over again. but i'll cross my bridges when i get to them.

for now, i just made me all happy. even running around t fix my visa and all. i'm gonna soak up all that sun!!

missed 2 periods of class today to fix my visa. not a good idea coz i missed the lengthy explanation and next week we're supposed to write a free-response essay which is so not fun.
the good part. the class will be having lunch together tomorrow! that's utterly fantastic since we;ve never eaten together in the 3 weeks of lessons that we've been having.
dong-eun, jeong-eun and i had dinner after lessons today. i think we get along pretty well. coz we ended up sitting in the smoke-filled restaurant for 3 hours. really long by chinese standards seeing that they dash off imeediately to wherever they're heading for. sitting down for so long in an eatery is almost unheard of. unless it's a pub.

it's morning class tomorrow. *sob*
