Back on Campus
So I am back on campus after spending a little more than a week in New York with Victoria and her family. Made the journey back to Wesleyan with a bunch of my friends, and have now moved into my cozy little room at 54 Home Ave. Getting all my stuff out of storage and then unpacking everything took a bit of work, but it’s nice to have my own place again.
The house is not that big, but spacious enough to be cozy. We share a shower upstairs, but strangely enough the only toilet on the ground floor connects into my room. I have to say I am less than delighted at the thought of people trudging through my room on the way to a washroom. Hopefully there won’t be much demand for that….
Spending a week away from Victoria sucks, but the family was going on vacation and I didn’t want to intrude any more than I have. They are now holidaying at Lake George in upstate NY, enjoying speedboats and weird massaging showerheads. Still, it gives me a chance to put my affairs on campus in order. I got my books sorted out for the semester, variably buying them from the campus bookstore, getting it out from the library, and ordering online.
Anyway, on Friday Prometheus has been asked to participant in some performance on Foss Hill. Still not to clear about details, all I know is that there will be spinning and there will be fire. I’m excited.

Life with the Zhongs
It has been a busy, busy week here with Victoria and her family, there is so much to do and so little time to do it:
- Having breakfast with Victoria and her mom every morning.
- Spending hours watching the Olympics, especially cheering on women’s gymnastics and beach volleyball.
- Putting together our 990-piece jigsaw puzzle in 3 days, taking it apart again in less than half an hour, then completing a 504-piece puzzle in a couple hours.
- Wandering around Chinatown trying to find bakgua, trying out some good Italian ice, visiting Victoria at work and bringing her lunch, and having yummy pinkberry in SOHO.
- DDR-ing in the basement and playing with my fire-staff in the backyard.
- Once again getting tickled relentlessly by my merciless girlfriend.
- Attempting to take piano lessons from Victoria… but to no avail.
- Going out to Jersey Gardens, looking at bedding for my room at Wes, and following Victoria around as she goes dress/shoe-shopping.
- Meeting both sets of grandparents, which was a completely nerve-wrecking experience.
- Watching Victoria’s mom around the kitchen and learning what kinds of home-cooked dishes my girlfriend loves.
- Playing with Victoria’s hair and wanting to spend hours brushing her hair… maybe one day she’ll let me.

Eric & Victoria Reunited
- Victoria just forcefed Eric some tea candy.. it took quite an effort
- Eric’s been making Victoria seem like SUCH a bad daughter.. doing all the dishes immediately after each meal and all D; and it’s only day 2. Her parents have been nagging at how lazy she is, especially compared to Eric.
- Eric and Victoria have been watching the Olympics with Victoria’s parents.
- Victoria has taken Eric’s mom’s job in rubbing aloe vera gel on his wound
- Eric just scratched out another piece of glass today from his head.
- Eric’s probably really sick of listening to Victoria cheer for certain Olympic teams.
… and squeal when the volleyball is about to drop or when certain swimmers are catching up with others. - Eric’s itching
- She read him bedtime stories !!
- Victoria bought Eric a new wallet!
- …and then Eric paid her back and more by buying her a Coach bag o.o
- They went to the best toy store on earth — FAO ! and got each other a 44″ Penelope&Patrick.
- Eric is always fascinated by the father-daughter interaction, especially the way Victoria always seems to be bullying her dad.
- Victoria does NOT bully her dad. HE bullies HER. ….
- Eric tried his hand (or… well… feet) at DDR-ing under Victoria’s expert tutelage. (He’s very very good for a beginner ;O)
- Eric has to get used to the dry air again, his lips are starting to crack a lil.
- Victoria has been piano-ing.
- Victoria’s mom makes good food, but neither Victoria nor Eric can eat much because of their diet.
- Poor Eric darling is sleepy but refuses to sleep ;(
- Eric has nothing more to say. Both of them are too absorbed with men’s gymnastics.
- Eric just corrected Victoria’s grammar.
- Now they will watch more Olympics.
- Victoria shall end this with.. Victoria loves Eric
very much so. <3

5 More Days!
Well, the last few days have certainly been interesting. Cathay Pacific called on Monday to inform me that a flight to the US was available on the 11th. Having been my chief worry over the past two weeks, this news brought great relief to my parents, who were *this* close to buying me a Malaysian Airline ticket.
Victoria was ecstatic at the news, we have been so looking forward to seeing each other again. 3 months is a long, long time to be apart, especially if that 3 months make up half the time you’ve been together! It amazes me, just how difficult the summer has been, how much we have had to go through together. I am glad, so glad, that we are at the end of our long separation.
And better still, after a couple days’ concern about accommodations, it has been decided that I will be staying at Victoria’s house until I return to campus on the 23rd. It is so nice of her parents to put me up for the week-and-a-half. I really must find a way to thank them.
So I shall be flying from Kuala Lumpur at 1.45pm this coming Monday. Will have a 1-hour transit in Hong Kong, and then arrive in New York at 10pm the same day. A long journey, but not overly difficult, my one concern is that I might be held up at the security lines during my short Hong Kong transit.
5 more days until we are reunited. Yes, it will be good to see her again, my heart sings with joy at the thought. ♥ I can’t wait!!

Update on Summer
So Eric’s flying in on the 11th! We’re still unsure of where he’s going to stay though …. D: Parents won’t let him stay over for so long.. so looking at this motel nearby. Rawr. Sigh…
I’m just excited I finally get to see him after so long. Even if he ends up going back to campus, I at least get to see him for a day or something.
In the meantime, I have been preoccupying myself with my piano work and chilling with family on the weekends. Also just got my wisdom teeth extracted.. my chin and lips and all still feel incredibly numb as I bite onto these gauze pads. Rawr. They’re slowlyyy regaining feeling though o.o Tomorrow I’ll be going to a law firm and interacting with lawyers, law professors, and LO alumni.. let’s hope I stop bleeding/can talk by then heeeehee.
I’m thinking this will be a greattt month probably because it’s gonna be a pretty productive month AND I finally get to reunite with dear Eric Yay!
