Oh, Pokemon Black. WE MEET AT LAST.

Had the best time watching The Blue Mansion with Grace! Loves!

Today was one of those simple yet understatedly awesome days.







Traipsed around Ann Siang Hill with Bell, stepped into some quaint shops, had coffee and cake, visited Sara-Jean at CrazyWorld Cafe, went shopping, bought my new favourite bag.  Kinda reminded me of that day in Sha Tin, HK - relaxing and pretty. I would like to have at least 1 such day every month.

纪念这一天.

想太多 by 眼球先生


Synopsis

在这个城市，我是寂寞的，在认识越来越多的人之后，直到现在；
在这个世界，我是冷漠的，在认清了一个又一个的现实之后，直到现在；
在这个宇宙，我是难过的，在快乐来了又必须离开之后，直到现在。
你说，这城市谁不寂寞；
我说，这世界谁不冷漠；
他说，这宇宙谁不难过；
寂寞、冷漠、难过；昨是今非，真的假的，由不得我。
细腻敏感的心，诙谐锐利的笔，可爱中带有些许忧伤的图。
谨以此书献给全世界正在“想太多”的朋友
愿大家能在这本书中找到让自己这个寂寞星球上快乐的方法。

Loved Jacqueline Wilson's books, especially this series, when I was a kid. I remember reading them in bed on one of those special nights when we would all pile into my parents' room for the night and switch on the aircon. Ah, memories.

HTHT with LPs last night. Are you 100% sure about him, I asked 老二.

A nod and a smile.


How can you be so sure? I thought.


How could I not? Her eyes seemed to say.

Someday.

:D

I like that my clock is reflective, so I can't really tell the time before I sleep and can't obsess over whether I'm gonna get 8 hours of z's.

Just submitted fyp report but don't feel anything except some relief. Weird! A year's work should yield so more emotion.

One good thing about the long long commute to school and back is that I always have lots of time to think and get inspired or be hit with some meaningful realisations.

Today, I realised just how much I like the process of getting something I want more than actually possessing it. Like I'd keep thinking about how much I want to go to Cat Socrates, but when I actually get the time to, I don't feel as strong an urge or as fulfilled as I should have.

I hope the same thing won't apply to humans. It reminded me of how sure 道明寺's mum was that he would treat his relationship the exact same way he treated his toys as a kid - enjoying the chase and fight to getting what he wants, and then ditching it shortly after he does.

NTU at night brings back memories. Of living in hall with 老婆, of my three favourite Hong Kongers. 突然好想你们.

I'm really looking forward to turning 24 this year. 2011 marks a milestone for my career - a brand new chapter of life, and my first trip to Europe. But most importantly, i can't wait to turn 24 (and so on), to grow old with all you lovely, lovely people by my side. My heart is full thanks to all of you.

Much love and thanks,
Your Morphus

I've been reading Audrey Niffenegger (author of The Time Traveller's Wife)'s Her Fearful Symmetry. I love curling up with it on rainy days. The English cemetery the story is set in feels especially fitting and comes to life exceedingly well when it's cool and breezy outside, with a constant pitter-patter.

I'm halfway through, but still don't have a clear idea of what the story is really about or where it's going. This was a niggling thought that kept popping into my head now and again in a slightly annoying fashion. I'd say it's a book for patient readers (I think I can be very patient when it comes to books that take their time to tell you what the story is really about), and this patience will be thoroughly rewarded.

Today, for example, the book made me tear up twice in the space of ten pages. Ms Niffenegger's specialty seems to be portraying the act of missing a lover with depth, yet simplicity. She can make me feel the extent of the characters' longing in just one sentence.

Just to give you some background, there is a side story about a wife who leaves her OCD husband and goes to another country even though she still loves him. The first extract, a poem, is part of his birthday present to her, and the second is what she's thinking when he calls to wish her happy birthday.

A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning by John Donne
"If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two,
Thy soule the fixt foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th'other doe.


And though it in the centre sit,
Yet when the other far doth rome,
It leans, and hearkens after it,
And growes erect, as that comes home."

Ok, so she might have "cheated" a bit by using somebody else's poem, but I still can't help but admire this extremely apt choice. I still recall fondly that powerful Engels poem she used in Time Traveller's Wife. It made me decide that I want my lover to read me that poem when I'm giving birth too, if that day ever dawns. Hahaha. I would make him read it loud and clear - the embarrassment would be good punishment for his part in putting me through the pain of labour. Teeheehee.

Anyway, Ms Niffenegger definitely didn't cheat with this sentence:

"Talk as long as you can, until the batteries run down, until dawn, until I see you again, my love."

Such a simple line that packs so much clout.

I wonder if guys read her books too? I so need to join a book club if that's the case.
