wherein i realise that i haven't read enough of classics

wherein i divulge a bit more (or perhaps too much) about myself

2010-06-26T18:55:00.008+08:00

so being on this path of self discovery, whereby i am almost graduated but not quite yet and where i have actually worked for a year (much longer than what i initially thought i could last given my short attention span) has been pretty exciting thus far. and in the midst of looking for potential career paths and the resume writing, i thought i'd jot down a few of the more memorable things that

wherein i am pissed off

wherein i like one of bon jovi's songs

2010-06-01T15:23:00.002+08:00

wherein i explored Simatai Great Wall

2010-05-25T19:54:00.003+08:00

the great wall never fails to remind me of how much china is willing to do/give up in order to remind the world of their strength. essentially this has not changed, not since qin shi huang's time nor now (remember the olympics opening in beijing? their 60th anniversary?) but nevertheless, the wall is a great place to visit. and i much prefered 司马台(simatai) to the touristy 八达岭 (badaling). 司马台 has

wherein i find a nice cafe in beijing

2010-04-22T23:52:00.004+08:00

i love this place. its located in a quaint part of the sanlitun area (yes i know its almost impossible to associate the words "sanlitun" with "quaint" but there really miraculously is)its a library cafe concept, and there are high tables and seats around, accompanied by higher shelves of books. Just lovely!its aptly named "The Bookworm Cafe" (:

wherein i ponder about the color of our skin

Wherein I wonder about life’s big what ifs

2010-02-09T15:44:00.001+08:00

When we were kids, life was so much simpler. Mom would wake me up for class, I’d go to school, play hop scotch during recess, come home for lunch with my siblings, go to the playground and go totally bonkers at the monkey bar, head home to wash up, have dinner and watch fann wang and chen han wei on the 7pm channel 8 drama serial, make a fuss about not wanting to do homework, get nagged by

wherein i give a 6 month update of life in china

2010-01-06T10:53:00.002+08:00

next week marks the sixth month that i've been in beijing, home to the fast talking, hard selling Chinese. it is a dusty, seemingly confused city wherein you find a small bustling street of illegal hawkers selling what i believe to be the world's best 麻辣烫 (malatang), right in the midst of the busy, sky scrapper filled CBD area. i love it for the way it is somehow, it reminds me of my chronic

wherein i tried to change over to a new blog

2009-12-09T23:52:00.003+08:00

so i tried to do the whole works and start a new blog with wordpress, but i got to the new post page and just gave up. i guess that no matter how much i enjoy change and doing new stuff, some part of me likes hanging on to the familiar. there are just too many memories on this lousy blog that i can't give up. these pages, though cheesy and adolescent, have chroniceled the changes i've went

my first taste of true love

2009-06-28T12:11:00.004+08:00

was when i was fifteen. it was carefree, effortless and genuine. back then we didn't have to think about the practicalities of a relationship, of the future, of anything too serious that would make both of us feel awkward. we didn't have to play mind games with each other simply because we were just kids and didn't know how to. we were best friends, confiding in each other and sharing our hopes

sometimes i wonder if deep down, we all have a part of that wants to self destruct. we do things that harm us although we understand the consequences of certain actions, but yet we remain nonchalant, we decide to ignore. we let ourselves dissintegrate into monotany, into the dark realm of apathy and disregard.i remember when qiang first passed away, i lied on my bed, thinking to myself how life
