Somehow, these few days, I feel as though another arc of my life has ended, and has thus started anew. Today in particular. It's almost like I could just stop thinking about the problems, and focus on what is to be done, things that can be enjoyed; spending quality time with self and with people whom I've not taken the initiative to spend time with for the past year or so.

This has started off as an emo post, but not to worry, there will be food to come, just... not yet. Received a surprisingly comforting email from EM, whom I've only met for what, 3-4 months, and feels like relative to me already. A message from my dear sister, and a night out with my brother. Finally watched "Ip Man II"- it was good. I was clenching my jaws most of the time because it was -that- exciting. No spoilers here, just go watch it =) There was a scene that resembled a scene from the Sherlock Holmes movie, which was another good one to watch.

So I guess overall, things are almost back to being "artificially normal"- a term I've come to use fairly often after doing my first essay, where they say autistic people are "trained" (read: conditioned) to live superficially normal lives in order to fit in. Indulged in a little retail therapy and got a new scarf- I dropped one of mine some nights ago while walking on a street =( ; had food therapy too- tried a new restaurant, which was awesome because it had xlb!! XD Music therapy- check! =)

Onward to food! It's almost a whole week ago that I visited this cute little cafe with my brother after church.

From Week 20, 2010

Wow, my life just experienced a major kink in it, but things are kicking back into place now. Lots of downs this week, I felt almost cursed, haha, but then I just received an email saying:

Dear Wind

Congratulations you are one of the lucky winners of the Logitech Ultimate Ears Escape Story Competition. You are now the proud owner of a pair of Ultimate Ears SuperFi 3 noise-isolating earphones.

Guess good things do happen =) I don't even remember what escape story I wrote anymore.

Just came back from an annual meeting for music therapy. It's strange how, despite it being just a uni masters course, there's so much opportunity to meet many different people and just work on social skills,  not just within placement, but just... in society. Having to learn how to mingle with business people, principals and directors, it's just a good experience.

Anyway, enough about uni and other bumps in my life. Shall begin with some lovely coffee art:

From Week 19, 2010

Mini update before I go sleep! Nose is currently blocked and the flu symptoms are strong, so... must sleep more!! 

It was Mother's Day yesterday. Didn't really get to spend much time with my mum, but it's ok, we did buy her a really nice strawberry mousse cake from Hello Happy, Strathfield.

From Week 20, 2010

Here you are! It was really nice, and just the right size- we finished it all! =D

DND!

Am watching Buzzer Beat! =D

(and trying not to think about the essay due in two weeks.)

Will update later!

It's been a rough week. Think quite a few people are having rough weeks too, and in turn, loaded and shot their frustrations at me =_= but I guess you just have to keep a cool head, distract yourself... watch some anime =D and everything will be alright.

Strange though, that while this week there's been some major downs, there's also been major ups that don't usually happen. Coincidence, or...?

Sunday! Unfortunately, though I didn't know it then, last Sunday was probably going to be my last free Sunday for a while- been rostered to work for the next two Sundays. Revisited Ming Hai for brunch before heading to Usyd's law library for some studying.
