Appreciate me for who I am,
not what I can do.
Listen to what I thought,
not what I said.
Judge me by what I will do,
not what I have done.
Remember me as I tried to be,
not who I was.
Because I am not me.

for the past 2 days..









nothing happened.. absolutely nothing..


the only interesting thing i did was to call travel agencies to check on holidays to Vietnam for my parents..

man.. when this kind of stuff becomes the highlight of the day.. i seriously need some excitement in my life..



so, here's a overview of my upcoming (packed) overseas trips.. going to have some problems packing my bags.. pun intended ^_^


Bali (云岗 gang): 5th May to 14th May

Malacca (Family): 15th May to 17th May

Taiwan (Loners + Joan): 18th May to 30th May

Vietnam or India? (Family?): to be confirmed.. but in June..


finally going overseas with my family, on a plane.. since, if i never remember wrongly, 2003 to South Korea.. one or two Malaysia trips since then with them, but those are small.. in total i missed 2 China trips, 1 Australia trip, 1 Japan trip T_T (WHY!!! WHY MUST I BE TORTURED THIS WAY!?!?!), and 1 Thailand trip.. sianZ~

still, the 2 oversea trips with friends, i really need to consider my budget.. left like about $900 in my bank, and the most $1.2k if all the pay comes in.. maybe $1.5k if all the money ppl owes me comes in.. still not enough.. Bali already estimate need $1k.. guess i am going Taiwan to beg, borrow or steal then..


was playing my piano as the sun was setting just now, then decided to play with the long exposure with my DSLR..




the orange glow comes from the light reflecting off the paperback books i used to support the camera..



was playing the 2nd piece in 斗琴 from 不能说的秘密.. the lens was open for about 2 seconds.. can see the shadowy form of my fingers as i reach for the low notes.. hahaa..


i remember how people have the impression that pianist are very charming.. i do agree that some songs just sounds very attractive, but i never feel that it should be the main reason why people feels attracted to pianist.. Appreciate me for who i am, not what i can do..


was talking to Sherry for the past 2 days to arrange a small celebration with our buddy Wesley, when i realised something that made me go "Holy Shit!! how come i never saw that in the first place?"

i just realised, that Alisa and Sherry have a few similarities, and almost the same situation, i.e. complicated love tangle, when Sherry was Alisa's age now..


1. they have a relatively "open" type of thinking..

their mindsets are not very conventional, and they do not hesitate to curse n swear.. they are also uncomfortably straightforward in their talking.. either they are really that straight-to-the-point, or they talk before they think..


2. they have a world-centres-around-me kind of thinking..

when talking to them both, you can feel that the main emphasis on their speech and thoughts are always about themselves.. i know most people are like this, but for them, they always like to relate most stuff that happens/ is happening, to things that happened to them.. so suddenly, the topic is back to them again.. though there is a difference in Sherry and Alisa's tone of speaking..


3. they both attract quite a few people..

they seems to be able to attract guys without much effort, regardless of the age gaps.. except that Sherry knows and either makes use, ignores or outright shuns them, but Alisa is totally oblivious, or just assumes that it is normal and doesnt give much thought about it (i say this because she seems to realise that Jieyan always looks du lan whenever people flirts with her, something that i never noticed)..


4. people treat them damn bloody well..

they always gets special treatment wherever they go.. total strangers will go the extra mile to serve them well.. Sherry takes note of these people, and sometimes even go on and make use of them for her own purpose.. Alisa just treats it like it is normal and assume it happens to everyone..


5. they both like to take pictures of themselves..

self-explanatory.. lots and lots of pictures.. which normally equates to high self-confidence..


6. they cannot stand people ignoring them..

when hanging out with them, if anyone suddenly zones out or starts to look sian, they will suddenly do or say weird stuff to gain back the person's attention.. seems as though they require constant attention from most, if not all, of the group.. if you start to ignore them they will whine and complain and do all the funny things.. having said so, they also cannot stand it when people talks and they are not involved in the conversation..


some difference though.. Sherry had lots of prejudice against lots of stuff, and i always feel this arrogance coming from her.. oh and Sherry consciously flirts around and uses her charm(?) to get what she wants.. havent sensed any of these from Alisa yet.. i wish i never will..

perhaps Sherry have changed after these years.. i am not too sure, cos never really hang out with her.. from the way she speaks, seems like she is still the same her from 4 years back.. i am hoping that this is judgemental error on my part..


while surfing the net today, i found out that yesterday was the original Gameboy's 20th Anniversary..


hijacked from Dannychoo.. i still have it in my cupboard.. in working condition too =D
