to menghang:

my ex-student remembers to take note of the "exaggeration" in essay question wording.

~~~

last night, i asked a colleague, "so what have you done for yourself this year so far?"

and after she responded, i found myself actually struggling to come up with an answer

because while i feel that i have tried out quite a number of things this year, they all seem related to work somehow.

i just feel the urge to detach work from life so that i can have some small milestones that i can truly call my own. it felt tragic because i couldn't think of a single thing. i guess i did try by taking up the amk ite course on digital media but i gave up halfway because i felt like i could have learnt the stuff on my own. i did try to make some progress with my writing but hmmm....i guess it lacked sustained development because those were ad-hoc projects

so, i felt a sweet wave of relief when i remember my solo penang trip in march. because yah, i ventured out on my own, never mind that it's only penang as i felt alive during that trip and that's all it mattered

i just realised i need a project for the rest of 2007. perhaps that translation module in SIM? or tarot? hmm....gotta think and react.
