2017

丁酉年年初一

话不多说，年初一就是吃喝玩乐拜年拿红包说客套话用的。

今年好多小孩子好可爱好开心；姐姐老了你们还会记得我吗。

翘了一年新年的我这次回来做（不完全的）记录了。

一早就买好了机票，今年要尽情翘课。回到学校多的是烦心事。最后一个学期才来翘add-drop真是太对不起我家恶魔。

话说今年新年的我状态不好，吃太多瓜子花生然后就病了。整整两天什么好料都不能吃只顾着喝水结果轻了。喉咙里多的是刺痛，乐观看待的话还挺不错的。

丁酉年除夕

今年又是早上4:30启程的，但今年没有面吃QQ 新年来得太早了啦～ 

今年做了个芝士蛋糕带回阿嬤家，上面画了个大理石图案（不是很漂亮）很感动大家很赏脸在我不知道的时候吃完了。

大年除夕就是打扫吧。小学作文里就是这么写的吧。忽然发觉我并不太记得这些华人传统习俗了。总而言之我们打扫了，然后吃了午饭洗个澡又睡着了。醒来时已经是晚餐时间了。

剩下的就看照片吧。

Some updates:

2/6 - Grounded

I spent the day trying to study (failed) and complete my homework (failed, too). Didn't go for Alicia Keys' free concert, which was almost impossible to enter even if one reaches two hours before it started. 

2/7 - CNY

I went to the California Academy of Sciences Free Admission Day with a friend. He's a guy and we weren't even close but it wasn't awkward (thank god). I hoped I went through the day with my love, as what we did were kinda like a couple's date. I felt sad seeing people celebrating CNY back home and requested to have dimsum in Chinatown. We went to the planetarium and also flower-viewing before watching sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge. See, it should've been romantic.

2/8 - Yesterday

I submitted an incomplete homework, had a burrito and made soba noodles with tomyam soup for dinner. Finished up another homework (yay!)

2/9 - Tuesday

The most stressful day / longest class hours has come and I had lunch from a food truck alone. The group project is really difficult. I might be free-riding this time. Watched sunset otw home, and I really need to let my camera witness it for you someday.

Alright it's 11:30pm here, good night all.

goodbye february

oh I wonder how should I start the post... Really happy to see new comments and yes, it's been quite a while since I posted something here. School has always been a good excuse to be busy, and even busier when you have certain targets to meet!

I woke up late this morning and decided to have brunch with some going-to-expire-soon-tortillas bought a few months ago with tomato and eggs. After sometime, we had two friends who came by to teach the Asians how to make pancakes and cook bacon. We talked about things I don't know and can't imagine.... interesting stuff about America.

So February flew by, school started before CNY this year, it was like a dream before I sit down now and thought of what happened a fortnight ago. Flying to-and-fro home in two weeks time, and all the good food and company in merely three days... then back to hell.

I haven't been shooting a lot since the year started, apart from our short day-trip to Macau. My laziness has been bothering me a lot: from post-processing my photos taken in last summer to being grounded in the dorm and not willing to change into proper (read uncomfortable) clothes.

My February camera roll, mostly of family and stars seen on the flight back home.

All photos taken with Nikon Df + 50mm f/1.4 lens and processed in Lightroom5.

My family is literally my favourite subject to shoot, especially my grandparents. 

Love,

W

CNY2013

Day 1

9/2/2013 CNY's Eve 【除夕】

Reached home at around half past seven in the morning. The most tiring CNY's Eve ever in my life. After breakfast, we went to clean our new house for one whole morning , then my parents went AEON to buy some essentials. My sister and I had donuts from mister donut and BR while waiting for them (actually wanted to have Starbucks but idk why there's so many people there on that day).

You'll never walk alone.

So true, fortune cookie.

Day 2 

10/2/2013 The first day of CNY【大年初一】

Started off the new year with the classic 红酒面线!

Celebrated grandma's birthday!!

There's not only 15 of us, but 21! Too bad they didn't make it or else this is gonna look perfect.

(I'm not going to stand at the edge anymore T-T NEVER)

Then we went to church till noon, had lunch and rest.

 In the afternoon, we went to visit our relatives.

Future ikemen (so jealous of his ikemen genes)

Went to a park in the evening since there were some celebration activities held there.

Showing off my new shirt ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

That's the end of my 2 days spent in my hometown with my family. We returned to our place that night, leaving my sister there to get her driving licence before coming back. After going to my mother's office on the second day, we visited my uncles and auntie staying in Klang. Literally, somehow, people will change over a period of time. To record the changes seems to be the most important thing to me now, since I never want to miss them. We grow, we change, we evolve. (although i'll never want to grow up)

I love CNY.
Can't wait for next year's.
