Home Sweet Home? NOT!

Just got home not long ago, so many things to do...
I'm feeling like shit. I haven't really been sleeping since the last 36 hours.
I'm exhausted but I can't rest yet. Too many things to do.

I know how everyone keep saying that Its good to be home and stuff...
Well, it sure aint what I'm feeling right now.
My mom is away in China, the house is in a total mess,
I've been cleaning since the moment I got home.
Home sweet home?? NOT!!
Awaits are dirty bathroom, dusty bedroom, disguting kitchen...
Plus...I'm kinda of a neatfreak.
This is the last thing I need now....
I still need to unpack all my stuff,the lotion leaked and now its all over my lugage,
I need to pack again to go back to USM tomorrow, I need to gather myself,
mentally and physically...I'm not feeling good.

Somehow I feel so alone now, How i wish my mom is right here with me now, I miss her so much, I need to talk to her. I need to figure out why I'm feeling so depressed and stress out.
Not like I don't want to come back, just that this is not the home welcoming I'm expecting.
I'm not sure whether any of you understand any of this, I'm not even sure whether I'm making any sense but I need to get this out of my chest,pronto!
To make things worse, even my newly painted nails are ruined, thanks to all the cleaning and wiping!!! argh..!!!!!! I don't even wanna think about all those stuffs that i need to sette back in school!

All those that had happened in the past 4 months is just like a dream, a beautiful dream.
No doubt I'll miss everything back there very badly but...Now, I need to get my fat ass back to reality.
I suppose once all things have fallen into place, I get back to my old social life,
familiar again with the not-so-flattering environment, I'll be good as new.
Take a deep breath, try to be brave or at least try to pretend to be and start convince myself that I can do anything!!

Gotta go now. More laundry to be done, a dirty kitchen needs to be cleaned, bedsheets that need to be changed, luggages that need to be unpacked....
I just wish my mom can be here now...

p/s: I'll update on the pictures as soon as I get my lappie fix.

Cookie Baking

That day we went baking at Joyce's thanksgiving host family's house.
Cosy house it is!! Love it!
Anyways, joyce and christina and I happily went to Elaine's to bake.
We had our aprons on and everything!
We baked gingercookies, chocolate chips cookies, almond cookies and BROWNIES!!!!
and they were so damn good I tell you!
I didn't know baking can be so much fun and so easy!!
hahaha..





Those were the cookies combinations we get to bring home...yummy!!
oh..have i said i simply LOVE the brownies???hehehe...









2 more weeks

2 more weeks then I'm going home.
Going back to the place I'm familiar with from the place I've come to love.
Time is passing by so quickly, I can still remember the first day when Joyce and I arrived in Vancouver, hungry, tired and broke.
We have no one else but each other, wandering around downtown trying to get something to eat that we can afford.
It was raining that day, we were freezing cold and had to squeeze under a tiny little unbrella that hardly shelter any of us from the rain or the wind.
The pointless bus ride that we thought would take us to UBC,
we did arrived at UBC, just that unlike USM, UBC doesnt have gates around the campus,
we didn't know that we were ON campus and we certainly didn't know how to get to the international house...
I remember feeling so lost, and for that, I'm really glad Joyce was around.
Guess that in the end, you started to think back the beginning...

I will certainly miss Vancouver, miss UBC, miss the people here.
They've been really kind to us in so many ways that have made our stay pleasant.
What might been chaotic turned out to be alright, we got good housing, fabulous housemates,
we're living well.
All in all, it's an unforgettable experience that I wouldnt trade for anything,
I would do it all over again in a heart beat.

I'm going back to friends and family that I miss so much for the pass few months,
the uni...maybe not so much,hahahahhaa...
I guess that it's always easier when you come to a place that more comfortable than what you have back home, maybe that's why I didn't have any culture shock or whatsoever when I'm here.
I'll probably get culture shock when I get back tho.hahahaa
Other than we weren't able to travel out of BC, I have no regrets!
Cheers!
