I hate sitting still not doing anything. I'll go crazy and nuts looking for things to do, even they might seem stupid.
But the following ain't.

To do list:

1. Take the stupid IELTS exam on Sept 12th.

2. Book tickets to and from Sydney to see Mimi, Nicole, and anybody else who is gonna be there during my visit.

3. Sell my bed, book shelves and find a friend's place to store my clothes and books (they are my life).

4. Travel along the east coast with Doris.

5. Find a job with Doris, preferably in Sydney.

6. Plan my trip to NZ to see Eva the Diva.

So far, this is what I've come up with.

This might be the craziest thing I've ever done in my life. But, to think deeper, it's not crazy at all. I'm still young. I need to travel as much as I can before it's too late. Right?

I just love traveling.

It's just my flesh and blood.



(Obviously I jumped too high)

Mt. Corner
At the very beginning I thought that was Uluru...... :-/



We came across this Variety Bash on our way to some rocks, which I don't remember.
Doris is the girl standing next to me. She's awesome. :-)



Mimi the sweetheart and Sam the Cool Guide (just because he says 'Cool' all the time)



My beautiful Sophie and I

She is just beautiful!



Allergy/Sun-burnt
whichever it was, it was on both of my arms, my calves, and my neck. It felt horrible! Cuz I couldn't stop scratching my skin while asleep.
It was so not HOT.

to start liking Damien Rice with Lisa Hannigan.

I
这两个人怎么可能只有professional relationship?

II
I wanna have a complete collection of Damien Rice's albums

And a kick-ass sound system in my room

And a rock-n-roll version on the go

These, are my wishlist for Christmas In July.

You can't change the past, but the future could be a different story.
And it had to start somewhere.

 



I guess, you were there in my life, to make me a better person.

I guess I need to thank you all, for my life.

You think too much of the love of human beings; you are too impulsive, too vehement:
The sovereign hand that created your frame, and put life into it, has provided you with other resources than your feeble self, or than creatures feeble as you.
Besides this earth, and besides the race of men, there is an invisible world and a kingdom of spirits:
that world is round us, for it is everywhere; and those spirits watch us, for they are commissioned to guard us; and if we were dying in pain and shame, if scorn smote us on all sides, and hatred crushed us, angels see our tortures, recognise our innocence, and God waits only the separation of spirit from flesh to crown us with a full reward.
Why, then, should we ever sink overwhelmed with distress, when life is so soon over, and death is so certain an entrance to happiness - to glory?

Everybody screws up.
That's what happens.
It's what you do with the screw-ups.
It's how you handle the experience.
That's what you should judge yourself by.

One might have taken a detour, but one might end up some place good.

Fingers crossed.

BBC has made a production (a series of 4 episodes) on Jane Eyre.
I saw it accidentally on the DVD shelves at Monash Library and grabbed it along with the others.
I always enjoy watching modern productions (I've been thinking about the word 'recollection' but am not sure if it is the correct one I'd be after...) of great classic literature.

Somehow, I bought Jane Eyre (Vintage Classic) at Angus and Robertson roughly a month ago. It's been lying on the carpet below my bed for so long.
My aroused interest has grown intense after finishing the series.
Jane is incredibly strong-willed, and very much determined about what she wants.
Yes Jane and Rochester have gone through stumbles and obstacles that the outsiders would find them very hard to overcome.
At the end, its 'happily ever after'.

I still need to pinch my arm and tell myself that after all, it is all fictional.

Friday morning was the day when my Fujitsu reached 'the end'.
Shit happened.
I was forced to abandon it.
Saturday morning, with Pet's accompany, I went to Officework and walked out with a Dell.

Fujitsu was full of memories broken into pieces scattered around each corner in it that by no means I could come across accidentally and be hit like the earth by showering meteor.

I thought that it might be of God's wishes, to leave it behind, and walk steady ahead.
Though I shall never know.

I ponder, and wonder, on what phase I am standing right now,
How far have I gone,
And, how further I shall continue,
to reach the eternal sunshine on the spotless mind.
