So, back to reality

  • Started a new job. Sit close to the habour.
  • The job is good. I like it so far.
  • I like the people. I hate politics.
  • Many restaurants around. Getting weight.
  • Reality is not necessarily bad, but it’s not romantic for 100% sure.
  • No! There’s a magically romantic moment when I getting cash from ATM.
  • And that moment is like, making love with the ATM machine.

Now I see that I will never find the light
Unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel,
Consuming myself.

– The Silent Flute, Bruce Lee

  • Yeah, Bruce Lee wrote poem as well. What so weird to write poem?
  • Should I order the John Lennon 4CDs boxset? Save money Keith SAVE MONEY!
  • I’m running out of novel, film and money.
  • Got calls for interview from HK. I may start work for a small project in UK.
  • Watched a cute documentary: www.banksyfilm.com, corner house.
  • I wish I could live two lifes at the same time — one in HK and one in the UK (well, if you think about it, may be 3 will be even better)

Here is a quick post. Well, I don’t want to long list things again, pictures may be easier. I have bought a lomo DC earlier and this trip relies on it completely — the picture quality is fairly good but I like snapshotting.

Two more things to say:

I had many dreams last night and I remember 2 of them:

Dream 1. I was with Steph, an old friend, and some other people taking MTR. Steph wrote her questions on paper and showed them to me: she first asked would I cry at all, I said yes. Then she asked how often, I answered not often. She then condemned me for my cold blood: how could you not cry with those songs you listened to? I don’t agree with her but I didn’t say. There was a music player or something with a screen. I made up quickly a playlist and it started with a Karen Mok’s song. Some of her songs made me cry before.

Dream 2. I was talking to my mom and suddenly I remembered that I should plan a trip to Chile for some conference. I forgot the contents of the conversation between us but I was happy and started to mess up the plan: may be I would go to Liverpool after Chile for visit? My mom suggested that may be she could meet me at Liverpool so I can show her around.

Liver Building

  • I’m back in Hong Kong
  • a few things to do next: body check, visiting people, mainland trips, job, keep writing, plan book publishing, friends’ weddings …
  • Nose alergy — Hong Kong, city of dust
  • Like imaginary memory, be sick of the past hurts realistically.
  • Oh! I need a job, I found so many things to buy!  — Hong Kong, city of I should spend money for the rest of my life thank you very much!
  • I need a flat. I need privacy.

  • I have saved up some money and ready to build an online shop. But not sure what to sell! Both making money and feasible.
  • I am dreaming to build (from design to construction) my own house myself. Simplicity and concrete. I admire this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ando_Tadao
  • Have moved.

So I better leave it for pictures:-

    Descriptions: in brief, some Graffiti (by me and Eric) + computer-based re-creation graphics + Liverpool Tatoo Convention 2009 + my Olympus film cam and B&W films arrival + a nice old to-be-repaired car.

    I’m addicted “re-creating” graphic design lately. And thinking it’s a good idea to put some good works into my book (if it would finally be published). Thinking to add a gallery in this blog!

    I would call June 2009 “My June” because I’m so high for finishing up my current job by the last day of May!

    I do NOT hate my job, it’s a decent job indeed. But  quiting the job simply means the starting of a summer holiday. It allows me do alot of things that I fancy — those simple things that I am capable to do but the works wouldn’t let me go.

    Just a brief to-do list in the next few weeks:

    • I will finish up the thesis correction (ok, this’ not an interesting one)
    • I will write a proper CV and send out (ok, even worse)
    • I will fool around Liverpool and some cities I have been in UK, and take many nice pictures of them. Then I will make a little album together with some writings, make sure I will not forget them in the future.
    • I will go to Ireland with Jack etc for a break
    • I will meet friends as usual
    • Read many books and watch many many many films
    • I will quite my Chinese teaching job at Wahsing Chinese School and am going to miss my students secretly
    • I will pack up my stuff
    • I am ordering an Olympus mju-I film camera and black&white films, for the “My June”. I thought I would get a Olympus mju-II but didn’t have much luck at ebay. muj-I is not a bad choice — top-quality len and robust functionalities
    • Book ticket back to HongKong

    An old schoolmate committed suicide; an ex-gf (now a so gd friend) getting marry; my sis got pregnant; hundreds of friend became somebody else.

    I have not yet had lunch and am hungry right now.

    I love this summer in particular and am thinking France + backpacking in the end of June.
