When I look at you

College girl with a cup of Frappe in hand that walks past me. That moment rewinds and freezes when her shoulder brushes against mine. Hey, I knew this girl 5 years ago. She couldn't even pronounce frappe back then and just pointed at the drink which seemed attractive to her. She came to college about 7ish. Having her luxurious breakfast, with a bunch of working adults from opposite building. She read her book quietly while the noises from coffee machine was kinda distracting. She waited for someone to pick her up at the same spot, same drink on table when the clock hit 4pm. Fellow mates commented on her luxurious life. She knew she wasn't belonged to that group but simply she found peace of mind in coffee.

Time doesn't freeze and I eventually lose her in sight. I stand at the same spot with my mind swirling back to the coffee career I had in college. It's very reminiscing.

Wednesday's Frisbee Day

Image
You would not know how much Ultimate Frisbee has meant to us. Friendship, fun, and precious memories on and off the field. Robbstar suggested us to join a club. We encouraged ourselves walking to Oval 7. We took up a stomach of courage to mingle with Caucasians. We looked over our shoulders for others' amazing throw. Eventually, Nathan's ponytail and warm greeting relieved our anxiety. JJ remembered our Chinese names so well without slight confusion on ice-breaker session. Alex always initiated a talk. Kaitlin asked us to come over their table for dinner after our first game. Taylor gave me too much information about his funny family in our second or third game. Julian happily allowed us to lift his skirt. We got Brenton to talk gibberish about his lung inside his body. The next season we returned to the field, we were familiarised with most of the people already. And Nathan? He never gets tired of inviting us to any occasion and he's still our top favourite Aussie ever! Ul...

Who shall be the next on the altar

Attended my cousin sis' wedding and it was the best I've ever attended and had fun with all my family members. Guess what, we owned the dance floor and everyone was so keen to join us after us warming up the floor. Grandparents from both sides were laughing and clapping on the beat. The best part of all was, the hired singer cheekily requested "I'd play you a song before we call it a night, with one condition - YOU ALL MUST DANCEEEEEE!" And he sang and played ABBA!!!!!!! I was secretly praying for Lady Gaga's Just Dance since they played Wavin' Flag in the beginning of dinner, which was kinda awkward as Paraguay vs Spain was in the game that night itself. And that's what you do when someone tried to steal your floor as well as limelight. 6 of us - 2 were already happily married within a year. Who's next? You bet.

Snacks with identities

Image
Back in The Manors, there were some remarkable groceries which defined a tenant's individuality and distinctive tastes that would easily be identified in the kitchen cabinets and super small refrigerator. So by looking at these spectacular snacks, you will point at it and confidently say, "OMG! This is so You!" My roommate, Robbster Cabinet: Cadbury, Darell Lea, and other Australian brand chocolate bars and confectioneries; unique tinned box's biscuits purchased during Easter's Day; various 1kg cereal boxes; Fridge: Greek cheese, fruity cheese, Nude juices, Ski/Yoplait/Home brand yoghurts, lite/low fat milks, more carrots and tomatoes and chicken thighs/fillets, Sara Lee's ice-cream, some special dessert. They were more but the point here is, she is voted as the most health-conscious fellow among three of us. My housemate, Debbie Cabinet: Korean spicy/seafood/Shin/Jae-Jyung Myeon instant noodles; Instant mushroom soups; dried pasta and pasta white sauces; 3-in...
