the bird of paradise

im watching PLANET EARTH by BBC

borrowed it from the library.

what an interesting entertainment!

God bless all the filming crew, such a great, wonderful production.

----

one thing that suddenly strikes me though, is that all the males animals needs to put so much effort into attracting females during the breeding season. the funniest one is by the bird of paradise from new guinea (LOL to the name ^_____________^) check out his fabulous

*the first part while he was alone actually it's after he cleans the 'dance area'! he really did pick up some small branches and throw them away!!!!

the narrator on actual video said, 'it's hard to feel deflected when even your best is not good enough'

LOL POOR BIRD! hahahaha~

i survived the karaoke session XD

the dinner was awesome and i enjoy myself.

thanks God for the chance to make amend with karaoke

and thank you for sending good people to help me confront this silly fear of mine

i didn't sing alot but i actually am looking forward for next session, if there is any. that's a good improvement.

special thanks to a tigress friend of mine, for the reminder. she told me a simple sentence,

"-it's not my forte but at least i try my best"

and so, i hold onto this sentence and try my best. and keeping the good faith in other people.

it's no longer " i dont belong here" or "i just want to leave" but i feel much more in peace and just listen to them singing.

next time i will do my homework and prepare some songs too =)

thank you universe!

my rabbit-like quality

i always think that my most-rabbit-like-quality is my tendency to hop away when i smell trouble.

sensed trouble, that's it.

who doesn't crave for a problem free life?

but the truth is, problems are our growth ingredients. maybe just like nutrients to a plant?

----

why am i suddenly talking about this, let me be honest with you.

i got an invitation to karaoke session to celebrate a friend's birthday.

i am afraid of karaoke okay? totally.

why is karaoke a problem for me?

some bad memories associated with it and the fact that i dont follow up new pop songs and i favour over old songs or some random ambient songs.

----

but...i want to learn to face all small little challenge that come, and maybe learn to be like tiger instead of following my rabbit instinct.

and i promise myself to have good faith, ,to keep having good faith in other people.

ang mo's food - strawberry rice





curiosity.

it's a dairy product, very much like yoghurt but with small pieces of rice in a strawberry yoghurt flavour.

i ate cold, taking it as yoghurt.

to be fair, it is pretty nice actually

but my stomach rebelled shortly after i finished it. maybe unconsciously im rejecting it ^^"

hahaha....ang mo's food.

birmingham 142nd, the last day of january





today is such a great day, thank you Universe

for all the small little things that sum up my high spirit

from the perfect soft blue sky with soft groups of cloud

and the fact that it's 2 degree and i survived with leggings

and managed to scan lots reference images

also, borrowed 'planet earth BBC' from the library (just realize there's a rack of dvd that we can borrow, mostly old movies and documentaries. after all these time)

the cool air is good, love it very much

keep wondering when will i see sprout from the dry tree branches

and walk to the tesco to buy rice and chicken drumstick

but ended up walking into zara too, just curious whether the pretty skirt i spotted yesterday is still there. whether we are fated.

we do! and it is a further-reduction-discounted item, the right size, and just left one piece.

how can i not excited about it? and it fit just well. and i love the fact that it is high waist, because i have slightly longer upper body, and here at UK i always spotted high waist pants and skirt

and the shirt is lovely too, though slightly reminds me of police shirt bcoz of the color and the details at shoulder. nevertheless! 50% off and i can use it at office next time.

and in a spontaneous way, saw my classmate and we had a short chat. his bro is getting married and he is going to meet his dad to buy suits. i asked how old is his bro. he said he is 24, and by summer he will be married in his 25th.

wedding.

two of my highschool friends are getting married. one in mid feb and another one in march.

recently chat with an old friend and he told me that he had found a girlfriend. i asked how old is the lady

"rabbit year, younger than me two years. this year 24"

which brought me to realization.

24.

no wonder friends are (starting to) getting married this year.
