It's a very delayed reaction but I finally realised why it's more tiring to teach 11 lessons in a day than to do the same number of hours in an office.  Duh.  In any case, it's been an enjoyable weekend seeing all my clients/students - Beanie Fukuyama made a surprise appearance yesterday (he's got no more lessons and is never coming back! boohoo. I ( Read more... )

Sleep is such a distant friend these days. I was wide awake till about 6am this morning, until by around 5, my eyes felt so dry and were about to drop out. I did take a nap after work, but usually I manage to fall asleep, especially when I'm so tired.

( dreams and beyond )

I was at home (which home I can't remember) and then I either heard (or felt the vibes of) a huge bang. I ran outside and saw a head lying on the ground, severed at the neck, but the spinal cord was still attached. His body was nowhere to be seen.

Can you imagine a serious Japanese businessman and his team, making a conference call to the United States, only to have a dog pick up the phone, barking continuously while the businessman goes, "Hello?? Can you hear me?? Hello? Helllooo ( Read more... )

Slept early last night but it sure doesn't feel like I did. Spent the whole night dreaming that I was playing the piano... hours and hours banging away on those keys. good grief ( Read more... )

oooh coming to a screen near you soon: Turn Left Turn Right with the droolsome Kaneshiro Takeshi... :P~~~. think this is the first mandarin book i've picked up since i left school. hope the film captures the feeling of the book - but print-to-screen is always a big challenge since everyone comes away with their own interpretation of any book ( Read more... )

man... those dreams are back. every night. without fail. but only recalling vague impressions. last night, dreamt that i was going through a lift lobby and bumped into a producer i used to work with. he wondered how come we kept bumping into each other. IRL, i don't think i've seen him for more than a year ( Read more... )

Had a strange dream in which Rowena was talking to me about the guys we've gone out with, but in Italian. So exasperating. Must be the combination of attending the talk with her and watching 'The Godfather' on Sunday night. I love just about everything about The Godfather, hm. with the exception of Marlon Brando... mumblemumblemumble. Think I ( Read more... )
