Speechless
Dumb blondes and bimbos.

They should furnish their homes with maps.

What a disgrace

I learnt many things from this video.
I didn't know that there is a discipline called "Steel". I must have wasted a good number of years in academia.
And I realize that when people say "You know", they don't really know what they are talking about and let alone their audience.
Plus the "Booms" lingo. What's that gonna mean? I have been shocked "loud" and hard as much as the gal is.
South Africa is the most developed nation in Africa by most indexes. It is different from Kenya or Uganda where you can live your safari dream. Stop exoticizing Africa.
Speaking of our ambassador. Sigh.

Life is......
a pack of wolves and lies. I think many people had lied to me before. The only way I can regain my youth is to retain my sanity by not taking in any more lies. In practice I need to realize my goal to become a hermit in the concrete jungle while exploring all possible avenues to escape from it.
Wacky Jacky in social withdrawal mode. Reactivation in process.

I hate Facebook
Facebook sucks. It infringes privacy.
And I agree with what some of my friends have observed: if you are really close to the person, you won't drop meaningless comments like "See you soon!" or "See you again!" when you know fully well that the chances of meeting up on mutual consensus are virtually zero unless one decides on an effort to do so. Freaking dumb and superficial. I would rather call or text the person up. Everyone knows how much I love fine conversations over fine meals.
The lack of time is to me an excuse. If you don't have time (to meet up that is), a ghost must have been let loose during the 7th month to do all the tagboards, play all the online games, write all the wall messages, or join all the facebook groups on your behalf.
Jack Neo asks, "Where got ghost?" Facebook lor.
Perhaps I am getting too old for all these. Sigh. If not for the convenience of photo-sharing with my overseas friends, I would have deactivated my account a long time ago.
Happy birthday, Jacky Wu! Sorry to sound mad on this day!

Think
It doesn't take much to realize that the world isn't perfect at all. Not even rosy to begin with. And we can't seem to change it for the better. For millennia we have been experimenting with faith, knowledge, religion, relationships, and other institutions to cure ourselves and the world at large, and all attempts have failed.
We don't have to think much, or think deeply. Just think.
Cynicism is the accusation of the ignorant. The failure to think, let alone critically, has deprived them of the power to acquire the harsh truth out there. Ills of the world have become so internalized and institutionalized that many of us are oblivious of them.
I need to be insulate myself before my senses are tainted and rendered numb. I just want to feel again, lifting my spirits and flying them up high. Not at the expense of giving myself false hopes and painting naive pictures in my mind though.

Todai Library (and canteen)
Notice the lady and the gentleman in the foreground. They were Taiwanese before becoming Japanese citizens for good (although I won't surrender it if I were them!). Spoke to them for more than an hour. Talked about Taiwan, Japan, and just about anything under the sun. Nice interacting with strangers in foreign lands. Good that I have been making friends elsewhere since I am losing many here.

OMG
I was reminiscing about Taiwan and read some of my own blog entries written in 2006. Guess what: I realize how much I have aged! I look older and haggard now. Plus I am not as jovial and cheerful as before. Taiwan has held my teenage and childhood hostage!
I am beyond redemption.
Let me wallow in self-pity.

Saw it in one of my NUS emails.
