Winter went away in a blink of an eye
Soon enough, it went from 4 assignment deadlines to 1 assignment deadlines left
And right now, it's colder than winter
===
It's Friday 1.08pm
I haven't had a better schedule in such a long time
despite the coursework deadlines
I feel a little relief
All of a sudden ...
I miss my friends
I miss my family
I miss him
I haven't been calling home very often
once a week maybe
but last week seems to be a blur, so I probably skipped that a bit
My dad is feeling down these days
I can't help but feel bummed too
===
At the end of winter hols
before he left
he made me a huge (and I mean gigantic) pot of fried rice
in preparation of my upcoming design project deadline
as a result, I didn't have to cook Maggi for the next few days
For that, I'm grateful to have him
===
Something about food always strikes me to heart
I was watching 周杰伦's 开不了口 MV again
the one that was a remake
Of course, I cried again,
at the scene when the dad was there to cook the daughter a meal
It reminds me of the time when my dad was here in London
the first 3 years when I moved in
he cooked for me while I was out running errands
he helped me with groceries and all that
I'm definitely a huge daddy's girl
Even during the summer
I spend quite a lot of time interning instead of spending time with him
On summer nights, my dad stayed up till 11pm, he usually sleeps at 9pm
When I asked him why he simply said because you're here dear
Sometimes when I'm free (aka not designing, I think I had 3 clients then)
I spend my time lying on his belly watching the TV series he's watching with mom or playing with my phone
All these little things
make me want to turn back time
===
In the meantime, I feel that KY is planning for my bday
I'm quite surprised, given that it's more than a month away :o
I thought my birthday is more like a ... "Hey, wanna grab dinner this weekend?" kind-of ritual
===
I just put used the countdown app again on my phone
7 days to go :)
===
Did you know the half marathon is only 2 months away? Damns
===
I finished reading Two by Two by Nicholas Sparks
A surprising ending, I think I had tears welling up at 3am that morning I finished
Though he was asleep (I think) he put his hands around my waist and ask me if I'm okay
It was a very warm feeling for me
===
Recently I'm reading the Handmaid's Tale
Kind of how I procrastinate
Surprisingly I saw it being mentioned on the Try Guy's Halloween video
that's how I got to know it
As a buy 1 get 1 half price deal, I got "Great Expectations" as well
KY bought them for me on New Year's day :)
I'm about 1/3 finished am already feeling depressed and dark LOL
===
It's a day of missing people and reading literature :)
