    October Rain

And since I’m still lazy to write, I’ll just post some pictures to fill the void. πŸ˜› Our yoga sessions in class. See the matching mats with our shirts? So well-coordinated! πŸ™‚ Mooncake festival at school. Never too old for lanterns. *a-hem* Nezar and Rinugah’s birthday celebration. Rinugah’s busy cutting cake haha.

    The Birthday in July

    i am back-tracking. for the sole reason of none other than my deteriorating memory, i am jotting down the little things (or big things) that happened prior to this moment, so that i can look back and remember what i’ve done during my time in LA- for soon, i will be gone from here, and what is left will merely be memories of this place and the people i’ve met. but even then, memories are nothing more than traces of thoughts in our mind that can so easily be tampered with, modified, or forgotten. and so, this little virtual space…
