Monologue

 

Ice cream for ya? :p 

The weather these few days has been horridly warm *sweats buckets* and hence the appropriateness of the above picture of R looking absolutely in love with the coit tower in front of him even before we start eating it. TEEHEE. Ice cream to beat the heat!! This was of course taken at our all-time favourite family restaurant, Swensen's! Approximately two weeks ago, on a friday evening after our long day at school. School has been routinizing our date patterns, for instance friday evenings after R's classes (which ends at 7pm :o), and mondays after our gem lecture together. 

Speaking of which, it's another Monday in around 1 hour's time. Week 11 has arrived, fast and furious zoom zoom, and I can't wait for the semester to be over :) Around two more assignments to go for me before finals! Poor R has endless streams of reports and presentation upcoming, hang in there my love (if you're reading this hehe)! I guess the trick of the game is to not lament so much about what's there to do. I've learnt that embracing everything that comes your way makes life a lot more easier. It's just a process that everyone has to get through. For me, I always focus on getting past deadlines, complete assignments one by one and not feel overwhelmed by the massive amount of work in total. Teehee, of course occasional whinings and venting of frustration is absolutely essential in keeping one sane. But NEVER let those negativity get you down. 

Why does this sound like a motivational monologue... do not know. HAHA feels like it's all part of reflexivity and understanding myself better :) 

Okay here's an extra tip on getting extra energetic boost in times of depression and stress: Look at photos of your loved ones. 

Hello dearie! :D R, with cute yoshi wheeeee. 

Photos are extremely therapeutic for me ^^ and they always bring back so much happy memories. :) That's the thing about photos right, they almost always only capture the happy moments in our life because people hardly ever get the mood to snap photos if they are mega unhappy etc. But then again, when you are truly having the time of your life, do you really have time to take photos? The happiest moments in your life are hardly captured through photos because you're enjoying the moment in itself. Maybe photos can only capture the afterthought of the happiness that you're experiencing, and when you are taking the photo, you try to reenact the equivalence of happiness you felt, so does the camera only capture staged happiness? 

Weird thoughts that go through my mind. 

HAHAHA okay bye :)
