Since I got here, I was so used to the instant-ness and fastness of using Facebook, forgoing what had been keeping me sane – writing. I guess I should have seen it coming, hours and days are slipping out of my fingers, my life is spinning out of control, fast and vain. Days were spent lingering around the high street, delving in the short satisfaction of bringing home a new paperbag every time. I don’t listen to music anymore, I rarely write, and I don’t THINK anymore. Living life as it is passes and letting 2012 ( a wonderful year ) ended without a proper closure, I must say it was bleek and hurtful (to myself). Luckily, I have had my last straw and took sometime alone lately thinking and counting my blessings.
Just wrapped up a two-weeks trip around UK and it was amazing. Had an extra week after that to stay home and sloughed around. It was a pretty awesome winter break. =) Watched a movie yesterday “Under the Tuscan Sun” and the ending really caught me off guard, got me thinking sometimes, you really needed that someone to remind you how lucky you are, that you have been granted everything you ever wanted, you just need to see thing in different light.
A wonderful movie not to be missed ~ Wenz, you heard me? ^^
School is starting next week, and I have no game plan. Yet.
Six days have passed since the new year, and I have no resolutions. Yet.
Looking back at all my plans about what I would be doing when I get here, I am falling behind my own schedule and it sucked. But hopefully, I am getting back on my feet soon enough, and finally cross out some of the items on my bucket list.

" 旅行最大的好處，不是能見到多少人，見過多美的風景，
而是走著走著，在某個際遇下，找回了自己。”
Saw this on my Facebook wall and it got me thinking, maybe the reason I haven’t gotten around to setting my goals was because I was too afraid, afraid of starting something that I know, for a fact, I cannot finish. However, good things do worth the wait but it won’t happen by itself, you have to set things in motion and that takes commitment, commitment of promising something to yourself, and have the courage and gut to stick to the very end. I didn’t have the courage nor did I have the discipline back then, but I sure will put it on the line to set everything in motion this year. I have to, before it is too late and I am too old.
Putting aside my rumbling thoughts, here are some of my favourite pictures taken throughout the trip! =)
Hand of a caring father
Me, getting Henge-d
Jumpshot at its best!
A backpack-y kind of day
The three little piglets
Onboard a train again – sometimes great things just passes us by and you don’t even realise it
We were warned but we got it anyway, don’t we all?
A nostalgic quirkiness
Let Love in…
Levitating @ Oxford
Oxford Natural Science Musuem
Just because I am different…
The Raleigh Camera…
Too beautiful not be captured in black and white
Who said Tasty and Healthy would co-exist?
Taking time to savor the moment
Andy – on the move
Kelvingrove Museum, where everything comes alive, in your imagination…
Strangely I feel like I am in Moscow somehow, somewhere in Glasgow
The most beautiful needs repair too~ Glasgow Cathedral
Still remember how humbled I was when I first walked in here. No wonder it is dubbed one of the most beautiful Gothic Cathedral in the world.
Christmas is in the air
Taken from the upper floor where the pipe-organist was playing. Sometimes you have to take chances to get the best thing in life.
Edinburgh Christmas Market – hands down the best there is.
View of the Edinburgh Castle where I would wake up to
Edinburgh @ night
In the vault of 3300+ bottles of precious liquor
One thing off my bucket list: Skates on real ice/ in outdoor rink! <3
Till next time, off to put in some strokes on my Resolution List. Tomorrow WILL be a better day! 
With contemplation,
KC
