California : San Francisco

a glimpse at San Fran tells you a few things. it’s a city built on a hill to which my dad
said, whoever wants to build houses on non-flat ground should really take a study here.
we worked our butts off climbing those hills and I suddenly have a respect for SF
drivers for being able to park their cars. the people here are extremely chatty I've found
out. conversations here and there in elevators, while lining at a foodstall, while re-
applying makeup in the washroom. they like their small talks. Come night time,
twinkling lights dominate the entire place.

what they don’t tell you about SF is the absolutely fickle weather. and the fog. here I
was all ready for some sunshine and sundresses and when we got there, it rained, fogged
up, shined a little and then rained again. nevertheless, the animated backdrops of red fire
escapes, mosaic murals on walls, interesting characters along the streets and generally
the infinite amount of signages everywhere made up for it. 

fresh of my mind

im torn between posting pictures of my Spain or US trip first. .it's barely been 48 hours
since i reached Hatfield and already the whole post-holiday-blues is kicking in. but im
pretty sure its will be flying itself away by then end of the week. more sleep should do 
it. more sleep and picture reviewing. 

on a much brighter and much happier note, we have reached three years. :D:D :D  went
looking for our old msn conversations to cheer up and smiled myself silly reading 
them.

ringing in my head

 Mengejar Hadirmu lyrics by GMB
Dekat padaMu itu rinduku
Setiap kataku Kau pun menunggu
Tak kusangka kutemukan satu kasih yang abadi
Kini kudatang dan kubawa hidupku
Memandang wajahMu
Mengikuti kebaikanMu
Mengejar hadirMu dalam hidupku
Membawa sembahku
Menyatakan kebesaranMu
Mengejar hadirMu dalam hidupku

I figured I better post at least soemthing before this month blows by. Believe it or not,
ever since my last post, it has been days of non-stop activities. Every single day. Spain
feels like such a long time ago, and boy have I got stories to tell. Spending the New Years
in London was well, lets just say memorable. and most likely not-do-able again in the
future. Am about to leave this Friday for a weeklong trip to San Fran/LA whereby the
Yeongs shall reunite and somewhere in between, my friends threw me 2 birthday
suprises. and an additional one from the boyfriend back home. heee. frawers. 
I think I started out 2011 with a pretty big bang. okays!  Pictures are the flowers from
Andrew and balloons from my Roberts Way family. 

Its funny how im turning twenty three and yet the gifts and pictures reflect a whole
different age. hahah. i was so excited about the prospect of karoakeing that i jumped/
skipped while walking to the car that Caryn refered to me as "this bouncing thing" hehs.
last year i got a tiara and this year i got  a pink sash to go with my tiara. i wonder what
next year will bring?
