《目送》龍應台

You take adults, they look lousy when they’re asleep,
but kids don’t. Kids look all right.

They can even spit all over the pillow
and they still look all right.

《The Catcher in the Rye》J.D.Salinger

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)

Two more things to say:

• I have got a niece called Kaitlyn!
• Monkey Majik is cool!

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.

• 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.

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

me there (under-dressed but fine smart handsome etc!)
