I think it's a pity when people actively resist new things -- to assert individuality perhaps? Delineating individual boundaries; this is me, this is not me. Afraid of lines being coloured in, losing self in the influx. When there's much to like in so many things, really.

Hey, you
thank you for wanting to go | more than going along
I appreciate it.

IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BE BUSY

Today I did a solitary little jaunt around Orchard Road, because I happened to be in that area, and while it was not life-changing-- it's rare that one just does whatever she wants because the rest of her day is luxuriously free. It's a liberating feeling. Explored Tanglin mall properly, walked right down the road to ( Read more... )

Every week you
come back, for two nights,
then leave again. Most of the time,

now, I have nothing to tell you,

But some nights a good song ( Read more... )

Couldn't sleep; my fault really. Second night in three days. Nothing to do about it. Did lie in bed for two hours, but it's such a waste of time to be lying in bed not really sleeping.

1. Learning and how computer science is good for me because in here everyone goes "go learn it" very naturally and that compels me to do things I'm normally too lazy to do. Although of course ( Read more... )

I'll be abandoning my blogspot blog. In its place is a brand new wordpress blog, even though I cannot alter the template since it says that I have to pay to customise the CSS. While that is ridiculous, the presence of a forgotten account, the temptation of being able to use my net name (which i can't if I use LJ obviously because it is taken up by ( Read more... )

LJ, meet my tumblr. Tumblr, meet my LJ. Incidentally I am almost equally fond of both of you so please no jealous fights around.

On another note I feel pretty enamoured with my firefox addons right now, so I shall quote haoqin:

"IE exists for one purpose: to download firefox."

Some people are smart and these are the people you want to be so much; some people are the right type of attractive and these are the people you wish you could just wrap your arms around; some people are doing important things or going to important places and you wonder why it is you are not going there too; some people seem always successful in ( Read more... )
