one SNOWY week in tianjin!
Yes. SNOWWWWWWWWWW!!!Yesterday they just had the snowstorm of the decade or something, everything was covered in at least 3 inches of snow. Even the runway in Beijing where the plane landed was slippery with snow, causing the plane to literally zig-zag into a full stop.
AAAANNNDD I TOUCHED SNOW!!!! COOL, ICY SNOW!
It was kind of like ice-kachang, but MUCH SOFTER AND FLUFFIER. HOW COOL IS THAT!

oh noez, i can haz trouble!!!
WHY ARE ALL THE PEOPLE I NEED TO CONTACT NOW OFFLINE!!!WHERE IS EVERYBODY!!!
FUUUUUCCCKKK!!!!!
*smash stuff*
This is very, very unreal. I can't believe 2008 is going to be over so fast. I can't believe I'm leaving for China and embarking on my first solo flight in two days. I can't believe when I come home things are going to happen real fast. I can't believe. I can't believe.
There's a reason why I hate holidays that are so neither here nor there, holidays that are so short I'm better off without one — a short, rushed break just doesn't feel like a proper break. I'm only one week into my break. And I have to pack pack pack and worry worry worry.
What if I forgot the vitamins my mother asked me to bring along for my dad?
What if I forgot to bring my forms along and the people at the check-in refuse to give me my boarding pass?
What if my luggage and I parted ways for good, with me headed for Beijing and my luggage headed for Tokyo?
What if I ended up in Tokyo instead of Beijing? Even though I've always wanted to see what Tokyo is like, I'd still cry and panic 'cause, hello, I'm displaced!
What if I've reached the airport, queued halfway, then realise I'd completely forgotten to bring my passport?
What if I miss my flight?
Okay. Okay. I'm getting very irrational. I will not. I will not. Everything will turn out fine. Trust me. Everything will be a-okay.
Phew.
KUKUBIRD!! <3

aaaaaaaaaaaaa.tumblr.com
Ah. I know what you're thinking. Nope. I'm not moving. I'm just expanding.
Just imagine, this is my written journal; aaaaaaaaaaaaa.tumblr.com is more like a... I don't know, rubbish book, or one of those funny little books people carry around and doodle in them during boring lectures. Anywho, societaldiarrhoea.blogspot.com just turned 1, I'm so not giving it up!
And holy crap, it's one week to Christmas!
Speaking of which. I've been indulging in a little bit of Christmas goodness in my iPod; I just bought Christmas Portrait by the Carpenters (1978), and their rendition of White Christmas almost made me cry. It's so ironic how I never knew a single White Christmas in my life, but can somehow relate to the lyrics, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas/ Just like the ones I used to know".
I've been indulging in some very awesome oldies too; Other than Christmas Portrait I also bought As Time Goes By (2004), a compilation of recordings of TV specials and unreleased outtakes from the 'pre-Carpenters era' (1965-1968), and Chicago 17 (1984) by Chicago. Sigh. Music. How it flourished, and how it declines! Look at the shit that happens on MTV and so on. And the good, why do the good die young?
