But den there are hols like CNY so maybe things abit better? I dunno, but I am more determined to be more focus this time and so forth. yep~ I am really so happy to haf my frens accompanying me, comforting me, and everything for so many years... I have nothing more to ask for, so in order to show my gratitude to them, I shall be happy and back to my strong self and never to let them worry abt me so much!
