Introducing 10 little bit weird yet very Yen-ish facts:
1) If you remember in my November blog entries, I posted pics of my red fish and of my new piercing. That fish, it laid on the gravel for at least 2 weeks after I changed its water, so I thought it was near death. It could barely swim up for food, yet after another water change, it's back alive to his old behaviour. I guess I have magical hands to agonize those poor fishes' lives.
2) That piercing, it was healing pretty much fine, but two months later, one day after I got out of the shower, it flew off by itself...And there was no way I could put it back. Regardless of the swelling I had to pierce through it until I can go back to the store. But hey, how did I do it? How can it takes so much time before getting infected.
3) My Switzerland friend (M) came to visit and left. I'm amazed at how we are readily adapted to those who come and go. I got used to my daily life without her and realized that I don't miss her as much as I would have thought. It was nice having her over though. Our friend (L) teared up from frustration the other day, when she told me that M got her Switzerland residency since the very first day, yet omitted to tell us that M planned to stay overseas for at least three years. Honestly, when I learned of it, I did feel a bit betrayed, but only because M always turns to me first. M doesn't have to explicitly express herself and I would still know, which completely flips L over. So, I told L that this is M's life and it really doesn't concern us and by the time M gets back here, we might not be here anymore. I got over my issue within 24h, but L is still so flustered.
4) I always feel a little bad when I get introduced by my girl friends as their best friends, because I just have one (C). C's hard life at HDM is over. She always mentions about how I abandoned her there over the semester (sorry T_T). I was working at HSCM and on my way (late) to the cafeteria, I bumped into her!!! So here goes back to summer 2010 when I was doing my bossy job at HDM, there was the only ortho resident on the floor. I told C he has some charm to him...oh well, she ended up in surgeries with him and came out telling me: he isn't that cute you know... (all right, whatever). As unlucky as I am, he's also the resident she followed that day at HSCM. We ended up having dinner in their on-call rooms (the bedsheets were all in place, ah-hum). That being said, I believe whoever you are supposed to meet, you will meet them regardless. C and I don't speak much during school times, but we've been through thick and thin and that will remain.
5) First time I...
- went clubbing on a Sunday.
- went clubbing downtown with my car (because my cousin's decided to run out of batteries).
- drove in heels.
- had 0% of alcohol in her blood the entire night.
- got waist hugged by a let's say a minor (17 y.o?) and had to yank his hands off by myself because my usual bodyguards girl friends weren't there. All right, the cousin eventually did the job. I usually could pretend they are not around starring, but without alcohol, it is a little bit difficult.
6) I spent my days laying on my bed, sleeping until past noon, skipping on lunch, and watching movies, because I got canceled at work. And I feel good about it. Wrong, I'm back to the gym. A little bit of endorphins won't do bad and to also lose the extra 10 pounds gained over team meetings and projects. Wow, I think the last time I stepped into a gym was 2 years ago.
7) We had a family dinner for grandma's bday. No more divorce in the family as far as it goes. This is the way I've pictured marriages: stick together, solves issues, and be loyal. I despise relationship that are given up too easily. Both aunts came hugging me... I missed them too, but it doesn't feel like when I was twelve anymore. Yen has grown up, hasn't she? My aun't son is 1.75m. I remember how ten years ago, I held him by the hand in Oka's park running around in his diaper. And the baby girl grows up to look so much like me, it's freaky. ^^
8) I changed shampoo again. All right, I do think that we need to change shampoo once in a while to prevent hair from getting used to the same formula, but I have a habit of changing shampoo after an important event happens. Now, this one is amazing. Most of my curls were cut off so the hair was straight for the past three months. Since I started using this shampoo, my curls are back! Yes, I love my hair, isn't it obvious?
9) I spent more time with my elder friend and her family than with any other friend this semester to the point where she says I have this bad tendency to be mother-like at a too young age. Her kids call me Uncle Helen or Co Yen, go figure.
10) I'm so eager for this lousy year to end (as some friends may agree with me) so I'm ready to say goodbye now! Hey there, I'm trying to see the glass half full here. The girl still had a good time, don't worry.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all, see you in 2011!
