现在只能听天由命。

1
病倒了，还没痊愈。
6天的假期，就这样全给了该死的病毒。

2
大家各有各的生活，
那我们都变了吗？
是好是坏？呵呵。

3
23个小时后，
就能知道能不能够一起闯第六关。
希望明天我们还在一起。

给一点时间。

1天1夜的思考，
9个小时的等候，
30 分钟的告白后，
世界开始降温。

同属在一个空间，却像隔了一层似薄似厚的膜。
割破，需要一天的观察？
毕竟举报失踪案也得等24小时。

后视镜里，反映着无奈，烦躁，凌乱，
荧幕徘徊在15个小时前。
卧在被窝，以为泪已完成任务，
却还有5分钟的后续。
是怎么了？
是最近真的太累，撑了好久，想释怀？
还是配合剧情需要？
还是真的为你流泪。。。

上一次的泪水是心痛，
 这一次又是什么？
是信心在动摇。
即使有猜透的能力，也有错的时候。
即使是喜欢谈心，也有忽略感受的时候。
即使再坚强的表面，也有脆弱的时候。

我不是好人。
我有错。
错在不够狠狠地放手让你走。
错在最后30分钟狠狠给的痛。
这次不再犯错，
愿这不会是个错。

不是放弃你。
来吧！再来一次！
3，2，1。





听自己。

做自己。

追自己。






等你回来。

我来这里呼吸。

累。

就这样，没有停。

结果依然一样。

还要过多2个月。

这样的持续，会反感吗？

想放下一切，就这样走！

但不能。

累。

呼吸后，又面对你。

还是要继续。

放心，我不会因为你颠倒自己的生活。
我看开了。
不然这么可以坚持到现在。
你，难不倒我。

Book binding~

Last monday and tuesday, i had joined the book binding workshop at college. We had learned 3 different ways to bind a book which are japanese binding, sewing onto tapes and coptic stitch. It was interesting and fun, but I was kinda messed up...Thanks to my classmates for guiding me, can't believe that i can sew =)

These are the books:

 

japanese binding

sewing onto tapes

coptic stitch

I will make it more and more in the future=)

我们一起加油！

七月，会很忙吧。
 刚刚才把要做的功课记录下来，贴在左边的墙壁上。嗯，好多哦。做得完吗？还剩下16天就开学了。。。>m<
 以前考试，也是喜欢把要读的chapters写在纸上，旁边也注明日期，然后一张张地贴在墙壁上，每天望一下，提醒自己。每读完一个，就会删掉一个，每删掉一个，整个人就更有冲劲。就是喜欢这个习惯。

你们呢？
哎，还真的好久没和你们哈啦。
大忙人，是我的称号，哈哈。你们很好，能体谅。
那时候的疯狂胡闹，我都还记得。
偶尔想想你们，人也会开朗。
或许不能常常和你们聚在一块，但你们知道我喜欢用另类的方式给你们支持。
我相信给一个小小的惊喜能让身边的人活得不乏味。
我一辈子都要做这种事。
 职业病吗？哈哈，可能吧。

可爱的你们，
准备到下一站了吗？
别怕，
知道你们是行的。
记得，别让自己不快乐。
不快乐，可以考虑找郑嘉琪，她或许不能答应你什么，也帮不到什么，但是却会尽力让你微笑。


我们一起加油！=）





世界最大的空间是进步空间。

$$$

Friday morning, I received a call from dasein. I thought the finance girl would ask for my May's school fees at first since every payment should be made before 15th. I felt relieved when she informed me about the scholarship, and suggested me to use it for May's payment, and pay for June in the same time (contra). Yes, I hit my target to be the top student based on my last semester's result, and the college offers the scholarship. I'm thankful to all the lecturers and friends who have been helping me a lot since foundation. It is an encouragement for me to keep it up but it is also a pressure because it is not easy to maintain the GPA especially in third year. And what I'm proud of is I had cleared the debt that I borrowed from mum to learn driving in the last Dec, and relieve my mum's burden to pay for my May's fee! I will try my best  to achieve my next goal and so to "earn"
 more money.

(God treats me well because my mum told me, the government announced that  next year all the P license driver needs to sit for exam to get L license...haha....my P license is still valid for 11'2 years...= =)
