will you love me if i continue this way
mum's been doing random bouts of spring-cleaning (i help too i'm quite the filial daughter you know) and it's kind of scary how much stuff we have haha.

these are just one half of the shoes we have. there's another half further to the right that i didn't include in the frame because they weren't as neatly lined up. but i swear, most of the shoes belong to either my mum or my older sister. i only have... eight or nine. but in my defense, they're all different kinds of shoes! it's not like i have five pairs of black heels or something.
and, while my mum was unpacking the cupboards outside she found a whole bunch of old photo albums. not just our childhood photos but my parents' childhood photos too heh.
and i realise old photographs kind of look polaroid-ish.
ahahahaha i laughed my head off at this photo. look at the bazooka!!
guess which one's my dad. can't believe how young they look in the photographs.
anyway while we were looking through all the old photos i was thinking how with parents you would never think to imagine that they really have been young once. all your life they're always the older, wiser ones so even though deep inside you know that obviously they've been your age before it's just difficult to fully realise what that means. it scares me a little, getting older. especially now that we're on the threshold (or already crossed the threshold, depending on how you see it) of adulthood. or maybe we're just forever stuck in emerging adulthood (japanese studies really has some practical uses haha). i cannot imagine how things would be like a few decades later.

alright work work i'm so happy i'm finally up-to-date with readings although i should get my summaries done up as well. but there're all the assignments to do too ): i will never take three new media modules in one semester ever again the workload is insane even though they're all level-2000 modules. i think i had an easier time last semester even though i was taking three level-3000 modules.
