Hi everyone! Today is February 5, which means we are just 2 days into the Lunar New Year =) Happy Chinese New Year!! ^^
Hehe we share the same new year as Korean individuals, I wonder who else?? =D
It is custom for us to receive "lucky money" for new years =)
It is the way for "adults" to wish good fortune / education / health / etc. upon the children
These two envelopes are from my parents ^^

Utopia =)

eeeee so a lot has been happening in my life lately! Some ups...but also a lot of downs... =(
Because I've been feeling just so "blah" lately...my friend gave me this toy lol

Utopia =)

Do you know this character? kekeke this is "Sackboy" from the game "Little Big Planet" (for PS3) lol at first when you look at his face...it looks a little silly...but if you look long enough...it can make you feel really happy haha
(that's how it feels for me when I look at him anyway lol)
So it was really sweet of him to attempt to make me feel better =)
Then....He also gave me this shirt =P

Utopia =)

lol isn't it nerdy??? sooo cute!! It is a tooth and toothbrush + toothpaste fighting off cavities haha. He bought this shirt for himself, 3 of our male classmates, and me =) . Being the only girl in my circle of friends at school...I was the only one with a different color lol (I looked like the leader of the gang hahahaha)

*sigh...*
So just yesterday, a really good friend of mine "moved away" ... =(
During the last two years, we spent about 90% of our time together...so I guess during that time we were able to become really close friends.
He left to another province to do some volunteering work for his church group, and although recently we don't see each other often....now just the thought of him being so far away from me makes me feel so sad... =(
When we were in the same city...I guess I always thought that he was only just aphone call away. All I had to do was call him or send him a text and he would seem nearby...but now, he is hundreds and thousands of miles away from me =(
He said he wants to volunteer there for the next 4 years at least...but it is indefinite as he could end up staying there even longer...or if they asked him to go abroad he wouldn't hesitate to go.....He's not even sure if he will move backto this city once he's done volunteering... ><
We had dinner a couple of nights ago, and he even came to school to visit me before he left...but during all of that...all I could think about was "this could be the last time I get to see him..."
*sigh....*
I am definitely happy for him since he will be doing something that he will enjoy =) but deep down inside...I am selfishly thinking to myself that I don't want him to go... =(
But I suppose this is all a part of life...
I cannot and must not selfishly hold on to things / people because life just has to go on ne....
I will learn to become stronger.. =)
