Life is a jigsaw puzzle. Every segment of the puzzle is formed by different elements of life. I cherish all my felicity elements, what about you?

高中。大人。

最近从friendster户口那里看到几张高中朋友的照片,其中一张,是其中一位高中不错的朋友结婚晚宴的分享,里头,还有近乎整班的高中同学。看到那一张照片的那一刹那,说真的,我傻了!其实,震撼,是比较贴切的形容词。高中,是上一个世纪的事了。中学离校以后,还有联系的中学朋友除了那10几个以外,和其他的完全没有交流过。照片里出现的很多都是我高一与高二同班的同学,有些名字我轻易脱口而出,有些需要在我脑海里转个弯,但是有些我是竭尽所能都吐不出的。啊,高中。想不到,一晃眼,差不多十年就这样过去了……

从朋友那里获得那一位刚刚小登科的高中同学的e-mail,给他发了一封短讯过去,祝贺他,也希望以那封短函为一个开端,希望以后我们可以保持联系。几天以后,收到他的回函,也是很简短的两句,但是有几个字让我噗嗤了一下,然后玩味久久。

他说“是啊,大人咯,结婚了,你呢?”

是啊,大人啰。

可能,对于这一班朋友的记忆停留在十年前的回忆……
可能,我从来没有用过这两个字在我自己身上(不是denial,只是,有时我很纳闷,岁数确实在增加,但是我和十年前的我有不同吗?现在的我,是年幼的我对于‘大人’的我的期许吗?)……
可能……

那一张照片,在我心里,泛起了阵阵涟漪。

我和另一位高中朋友说,高中那一章,感觉上,是上一辈子的事了。
我朋友说这是哪码子的比喻。
但是,离家那么多年,那么不一样的生活,回想起从前,那,是很陌生的熟悉。

高中,渐行渐远。

迎向我的,是我的‘大人’生涯。哈哈。

待会儿,我会回信说,“是啊,大人啰,我明年也结婚……”

大人了。高中,一去,不复返矣。

My Felicity Home.

Just some details I love about my felicity home ...


of Monet.

of Aromatherapy ...

of colour therapy ...

of Wisdom ...

of Flowers ...

of Dried bouquet ...

of decor with functionality ...

of home fragrance sticks ...

of something from Japan...

Some souvenirs I bought when we were having our transit in Japan last year. Frames were from Ikea.

Candles on the rock.

This actually is a 'rainbow maker' given by my lovely friends in Canada. This lil' device is generated by solar energy. Whenever there is sunlight, the crystal will revolve, creating some nice rainbow rays ...

When I posted this in my previous post, some bloggers thought this is a lamp of some sort. Well, it's actually a photo frame. There is no bulb in it.

As you can probably tell, I am a big fan of the 'Precious Moments' artwork.

My wine bottles get dressed up.

Something I bought from the Jonker Street, Melaka. Like it a lot.

平安。

My Winnie the Pooh Shower Curtain hooks with my nice shower curtain.

My favourite colours.
My favourite mugs.
My favourite candles.
My favourite place mat.

My lil' living room. Cozy, eh?



Welcome to my felicity home. =)
Care to be my guest?

A medley post.

Upset

Was really upset by France's lost. I thought France performance was really well OVERALL, and this was the team who sent Brazil home, so they should be good! Was even more upset to see what happened to Zidane. I am sure regrets is all over him, and that he is ashamed too by his own action... All that I blamed the evil Meterazzi. Alright these are my thoughts. Not to offend any Italian fans.

It saddened me more when Zidane didn't show up for the medal and closing ceremony. Heard that he was the captain, wasn't he? I thought he should at least embrace fully whatever was left as the match remarked a closing chapter of his widely-extolled career. Arrggghhh.

Tears was in my eyes when the game end. Yes I was that upset. Am not a big soccer fan in general as I would be distracted easily by some other chores while watching the games. But the way this sport event ended really got me, and that eventually I am diagnosed with 'World cup fever' by Tomato ... Ha! Tomato is a huge world cup fan, more so than Manchester United in the English Premier League. He felt happy to see me overwhelmed by the game, bleh.

Alright, no more world cup for a while. At least not in this 4 years. World cup, see ya again in 2010, South Africa.


New Apartment

These few weeks I spend a lot of time arranging, decorating, and shopping for our new apartment. I consider this 900 square feet apartment huge for just both of us, and that does imply more house-cleaning for me during the weekends, ha. But I really like the floorplan as I enjoy having an open kitchen. What I don't like, though, is that we have 2 bathrooms in this 2 bedrooms apartment. The 'extra' bathroom will be left unattended for a while, heh.

We are all Ikea (in US they pronounce Ikea as in 'EYE'-kea, not 'IK-kea' like in Malaysia) when it comes to getting new furnitures, even if Ikea is an hour drive away. My little Hyundai Accent has been a great helper in transporting the furnitures. Hey we were able to stuff a loveseat and a bed frame and misc. stuffs using this car all in ONE trip. My Accent definitely is my best 'investment' so far as it saved me from paying the shipping, or truck rental.

Heat

It is awfully warm down here in Richmond, VA. I am not a fan of summer at all. Hopefully the heat will dissipate soon, but I know this is a big wishful thinking as the heat will persist for at least 3 months. Arrrgghhh! Air-conditioner is a necessity here, but we try not to rely on A/C too much as energy comes in a bill.

For everyone else who enjoys summer, I hope you have fun. =)
