i'm currently listening to switchfoot and some of the songs are really old but they are still my all time favourites. i wish i could see them live again and this time, get their signatures!! ahh anyway i think today has been a really lethargic and restless day. the only 'work' i've gotten done is reading a little part of a book about communism in vietnam which i don't think is even related to the topic but whatever. its hard getting work done when you're around so many members of the family. cny celebration yesterday was a riot. i had a lot of fun trying to sell stuff and getting dissed by so many people and getting that same crushing feeling in my heart over and over again... but it was still fun. though i think i'd make a horrible salesperson.. then went out with pri school friends it was really exciting to reminisce and talk about old times.. which made me feel extremely jaded and old. i can't believe in approximately 3 yrs time i'll be driving my own car.. and maybe in 5years time, starting to work in that horribly big full of shit world economy. my gosh. time passes really fast..

just now i actually watched a little of the news on tv and i was quite disturbed by what some people actually do this chinese new year. like running to plunge the first joss stick in temples and if thats not enough, the people continue to pull it up and down continuously its supposed to bring you some sort of luck but how could it really since its really dangerous and poses such a big fire hazard i was quite appalled. but oh well. i'm glad i'm not part of this craziness.

more visitation tomorrow and more futile reading.
