am cultivating mushrooms

when canon meets sony.
when someone bought me new batteries

kids are kids. let them be. most of them dont even know what they are talking about, let alone mean what they say.

the busier you are, the more time you find.

when you had 8 years of your life occupied by something, i guess it's kind of hard to let go. i woke up this morning telling myself, hey this is the last time you're playing these songs, give them your best shot, which i did.

everything ended. and i know i wont be touching those pieces anymore...somehow i feel a little empty, as though something is missing in life. ...learning something new will help me tide over i suppose.





i enjoyed waterhorse. it's good.

people with different paths to take will ultimately bid farewell and part.

it's always easier to be better at something you're already good at, than to be good at something you hope to be better at. makes sense?

changing track.

i've been specifically told to hang out with the smart people if i really want to establish a career as a research consultant. so now you know the reason if i stop hanging around with you. :P

the second line is of course just a joke.

if i dont make an active effort to keep in touch with you, dont be too upset yea? you know how i'm like: detached and aloof, but you know i'm always there if you need me; you just have to open your mouth.
i dont understand how he managed to come up with all that from my answers to 71 questions. it's really quite amazing. but he is so right about me being interested in people but not so motivated in the active people-people interaction.

right, humans are just my subjects of study.



i picture myself sitting behind a tinted glass panel, watching over you. wah lao. damn freaky. im a freak.

if you can make the smart people work for you, does that make you a smarter person?

here am i, at 2 am, still fiddling with business source premier. i am in a love-hate relationship with management. you get to read interesting things like "manage your energy, not your time", you get to work on a thesis, but tiny prints and statisics get in the way. yea, stastics comes back to haunt you regardless.

im looking forward to getting my hands on the tipping point and blink. and sitting in movies like step up 2, 10,000 b.c, horton, away from her, water horse, leap years and spiderwick.

anyway im 9 days from my big day.

my swollen fingers are most likely symptoms of chilblains. not much of a worry in that case.

sometimes i wonder if those girls are truely dumb or what, or are they delibrately flashing their underwears in public. maybe i would have been thankful for what i saw in the morning if i were a pervert.
if you are dumb, i really advice you to cover yourself head to toe. the rest of you, please at least wear an extra layer inside for precautions sake can? take lifts, dont take escalators. and avoid those transparent safety barriers.

i just thought that thats basic self-respect. if you dont respect yourself, neither would the guys.
there's a hell lot of difference between being labeled a chick (which i really abhor) and being treated like a lady. and sadly most girls try too hard for the former. if you want to be treated like a lady, you need to deserve it.

it has been probably 2 weeks. the movie itself did leave an impression but i thought that was all. but recently i find myself thinking and thinking about that particular fictional character and i cant help it. it would have been more consoling if my admiration for the character is attributed to my admiration for the actor, but no, not this time, i'm in love with that character! the character, get it? not the actor.

maybe that character is everything i look for?

hmmm. now i think about it, yea, he really fits: brains, wits, quirkiness. alone. doesnt talk much. thinks he can change the world but at the same time aware of his limits. naturally good with kids (sometimes it could be an undiscovered talent). dressing. home arrangements. sigh. and everything everything.. you probably can already make a guess who this character is. and i warn you against teasing me about it.

i would say that there had been many photo opportunities these days like this one but my batteries were too dead to do a series. #$^%!@ like what are the chances that a moth lands so nicely on a pad. $#@! i took this one and only shot and the camera died. #$%@!

the above adds up to US$700.

the violin case, US$375, is equipped with humidifier and hygrometer. oh boy, isnt it a beauty? (it somehow resembles a hamster cage.)

just in case you're wondering, i dont own them. they're two months away.

my workspace's littered with packets of half eaten food, papers and more papers bundled up by rubber bands (!) really a typical aftermath of a tornado yuan. i thought i could get more hours of sleep in the coming weeks but no, i checked my schedule...

my friday night take-away: you could actually choose between 'scary' and 'exciting'.
my saturday night take-away: if you want to get things done, throw them to the busiest person.

i want more movie and dinner dates please.
