Seven-Sinner X Time Killer: Adiós Summer

it was a particularly

fruitful yet sinful summer

and probably the last one,

where I get to loiter around as

an undergrad student (hopefully)

 

for the past few summers

I wrote the whole summer plan

during late March or early April

but, sometimes

things did not turn out as planned

 

just like last summer

bless me

of course it wasn’t planned that

my grandpa was going to pass away

 

adding insult to injury

flight tickets abandoned

fell for the person I was not supposed to

 

but thank goodness

it ended up well with a Phuket getaway

 

fruitful but sinful, why?

 

Sin(Scene) I

one awesome concert,

without the knowledge of my family

safe and sound

 

 

Sin(Scene) II

Taiwanese movie/drama marathon

somehow kicked started with 《Love愛》

hunting along the line of the actors in there

and went on to dramas,

which was the very first bite of them in my life

• Wayward Kenting 《我在墾丁*天氣晴》
• Black&White 《痞子英雄》
• Fated to Love You 《命中注定我愛你》

*in timing and also preference order

 

and damn

I have to confess

I fall badly for Eddie Peng as a man / dream boyfriend

although I like Mark Chao better as an actor

 

after all these hours wasted

at the travel book section

I realized I picked up Taiwan travel guide

more frequent than any other destinations

 

I hope, soon 

Kenting, with someone I really like

because I realize Eiffel Tower is not romantic

due to my S-A-D status

-single-available-desperate-

 

somewhere near,

just the little two persons

no language barrier

that would be more than enough

 

Sin(Scene) III

I gained hell a lot of weight

boo..

 

that’s the thing

Guangzhou, the food heaven

not that I bumped into a lot of fantastic food

there are a lot of extra animal fat

which are absent in my usual eating routine

I tried to donate a generous amount to my dad

till he was staring with anger

 

but having a father as travel companion

he does not tolerate the below:

• skipping / combining meals on purpose
• non-staple-food as main course
• meat-avoidance

 

moreover there’s no bikini pressure / pleasure

hence have been indulging myself at home

munch munch

 

not only the extra fat

been munching the wrong nuts

contained in chocolate

nuts allergic is not fun

 

karma

I used to laugh at warning on food package

may contain traces of nuts, milk etc..

aha…

who the heck in this world get allergic to nuts

nuts…

 

I took up the post as the fridge vacuum

found six of homemade Oreo-Cheese cupcakes

nobody took a fancy in cheese

I ended up eating five and a half of them

 

and oh my

I has been trying to

create miracle with my “bread-free-art”

but of course

very few were showing scene like this

yet all of them ended up in my tummy

 

Sin(Scene) IV

the To Kill a Mocking Bird since last semester

was still hanging at Chapter 12

 

I tried

I mean I did

been reading some

Mandarin classical in illustration form

 

classical book reading and dramarathon-ing

at the same time

awesome

 

that’s all I read this summer

except..

if you consider these cute little things as books

 

but these are helpful indeed in

brushing up my historical knowledge of China

 

I made the conclusion

one reason why Chinese classics are

such a challenge to me is that

there are way too many characters to handle

ended up, forgetting who’s who

 

Red Chamber Dream 《紅樓夢》

wait till the day I start my forth/fifth attempt

on the unabridged version

but first thing first,

jot down all the names in a mind-map form

 

or something like the one

they are using for drama

 

Sin(Scene) V

I did not shop that much , did i ?

relatively, heavily reduced compared to

the previous years

 

opps

but I was supposed to compile a

2-quarters biannual shopping report

alright would try to get it done by tonight

or at least by the end of the month

 

Sin(Scene) VI

abandonment of Stephysiology

I tried keeping up to the pace of a post / day

 

but it doesn’t make any sense

if the posting are just merely photos or

forwarded materials or

petty little happenings around

 

but unfortunately

that’s what I do the best recently

there is no nothing like insight, thought or feelings

 

my writing skill has stayed stagnant

and I hate reading back at what I have written

even feel like deleting previous posts

 

Sin(Scene) VII

I was on cold war(s) again

with same old person(s)

again and again 

 

ya,

that’s the thing

if I already know very well that

sooner or later, fights gonna happen

why bothered to start reconciling,

in the first place 

 

nobody’s at fault

okay maybe I was always the one

tend to ignite fight

 

time after time,

I hate feeling damn bad and guilty afterwards

although the faults are not all mine 

 

maybe

staying far apart is the only solution

 

this summer

damn you, time-fillers

I have made it as a solo time-killer
