My previous relationship was with someone completely and utterly different from me. So happens, so did the “relationship” before and probably, so will the relationship after.
l read an article on wall street journal today that in relationships, apparently opposite attracts and sometimes work. I don’t even know why they put such articles in the wall street journal. But, I really buy that concept. Of course, some fundamental shared values like kindness, integrity, basic humanity and normality should apply.
Thing is, I would love to date someone different from me. For instance, a calmer, less emotional person would be nice. Its so much more interesting and definitely more value adding cause we get to learn from each other. In Singapore, I met someone whom I categorized way to early and judged way too much, that I really gave us too little credit. Now in hindsight, it would have worked out just fine, if I hadn’t judged so much.
ok, so lets set goals. if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. thats been my mantra since secondary school. So next round, I’m going to learn to accept, appreciate and grow to love someone in-spite of our differences.
I’m going to make opposites work.
I am in love with my hk society class.
I love old hk. I love the resilience. the old coffee shops, the hawkers, Sam hui, the factories. the “made in hk” cheap toys. It makes me wanna buy one. Hk represents excellence, modernity, resilience, perfection. There’s a sophistication that comes with hk. Very cool. but also too consumeristic, even for me.
I love Singapore too. I love the start-ups all over the island in recent years. You see so many young people leaving professional jobs to pursue their passion. Opening bakeries, cafes, restaurants, independent boutiques, even people leaving 5 star restaurants to open up french cuisine stalls at heartlander coffee shops so people like myself can indulge in affordable foie gras. And they do it with such professional spirit and attitude, its very admirable.
I think I’m just in love with places with people who yearn for breakthrough. Its truly the soul of a place.
while I was in a random class talking to my friend
cat: (rambling about unimportant things)
friend: I’m listening to adele. (glares in anger)
cat: (shuts up and shudders in fear)
That glare was justified. Her grammy’s performance was great. You can see how happy she really is now.
Its the way break ups should be, you lose, you hurt, your grow, you focus on yourself and you win a grammy (s).
“I don’t care who gave who lice, I’m just glad we had it together. “
my life will include tofu soon.
Now that I’m a cheapo person with little money and pending rents to pay, phone bills, I cook my own meals alot. Truth be told, it is excellent for my diet. Much healthier and much happier.
Lots of broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs with toast because they are easy to chop, colorful and rather tiny ( read: cheap). Colorful foods also tastes so much better.
Once I graduate and get a job, I will buy steamers, a coffee maker and gym membership for myself as reward. So that vegetables, fish/chicken and rice, good coffee and a regular swimming pool will be within reach and help keep me sane.
Perfect song to start the day…
summer should come soon.
I wanna head to the beach.
I wanna read bossypants, heard its hilarious and brilliant.
I wanna go back to china, gonna pick myself up where i fell.
Its 4.32 am and I’ve just finished portia de rossi’s Unbearable Lightness . Meant to give it to someone as a gift. Its amazing what autobiographies do to you. I love them. I really do. Because, so far every author I’ve read, I feel this connection to them even though I’ve never met them. It reminds me how our struggles are pretty much universal and interconnected with everyone else’s.
It’s sorta like therapy, except way cheaper.
On a completely random note, I’m back in Hong Kong. Have been for five days now and find myself craving weird things at night. Like the delicious salmon skin roll I usually order at Ikoi Japanese restaurant back home. Its so good, I want to cry tears of joy. How can seaweed, rice, cucumber and some crispy salmon skin taste so good? Maybe its the portion of the ingredients that does the trick. I also miss the exceptionally huge and tasty chicken liver I usually add as a side with my chicken rice.
