Happy New Year
Honestly, it doesn't feel like new year. Or maybe I'm just being pessimistic because at the moment I'm really dreading this weekend, when I will once more be working for Mom. I think I started dreading since last year really. New year isn't fun anymore when you think about the heavy load that's going to be put into your hands. I've been sacrificing my naptime for the past few days too, since friend only gets online in the afternoon and I had to finish up my doujin. It's been sent today though, so I'm glad.
But still. Sigh.
2009 is so filled with ups and downs, but I have many people to thank for anyway. Especially my friends list, for putting up with me all these whiles, even if I didn't get to chat with you regularly anymore. But LJ is like my internet home, and everyone here is like my family. Thank you again, and let's make better memories together for 2010!

想起你的擁抱 這感覺短暫紀念
在你我之間 有時說變就變
就像煙火 下一秒消失不見
想起你的微笑 這畫面短暫紀念
放在心裡面 你說過的永遠
留在昨天 就當它是我最美的紀念
-- 煙火 BY 光良
Remembering your embrace, such a short memory of that feeling
Between us, it changes anytime
Just like firework, disappearing at the next second
Remembering your smile, such a short memory of that image
I put in my heart, the eternity you mentioned
Will be left in yesterday, to be seen as my most beautiful memory
