Ignorance is bliss?
Not until I started my 6-hour-intense-studying-of-chem last night (or precisely this morning), I didn’t realize how damn lost I was. Though I did figure out everything at last, still this method of studying is not optimal at all. I felt overwhelmed by the details covered in the past weeks which I did not know at all haha..Scared+overwhelmed+ orz , ignorance is not bliss at all.

Student
feels like home last night, and feels like a real student today. Its really much better to get things figured out before going to classes. I actually really LEARNT something NEW 100% concretely in all the LECTURES, ‘real-time’. I feel good and safe and confident. so .. be a good student is a gd thing lah ha

Fact: Taphephobia is the fear of beig buried alive!

Happy Mole Day!
its written on every writable-boards in Simmons and classrooms……yea, awesomely nerdy.

MIT Rule Number Zero. Don’t Compare.

Major? sosad.

likely– environmental engineering, management (information technology)
maybe- biological engineering, brain and cognitive science
still a possible choice – urban planning , biology, linguistics

nowadays
if “cheers!” is sth u hv to say right before taking a photo
then “put it to facebook!” is sth ppl would say after taking it

i wont deny im one also one of these ppl .. who just get obsessed with
tagging ppl and uploading photos…esp. after entering MIT

one thing is that..
as a person bringing a camera, it seems a responsibility to give the photo
back to the ppl appeared in the photo..
and thanks facebook tagging system makes things so much easier

second thing is that..
uploading photos, tagging ppl..is just a sheer proof that
my-life-is-not-that-pathetic-as-i-think because i-have-a-social-life
this urge just grows stronger in the midst of endless pset nights…
i want people to know that Im not just studying , or hea, or folded @_@
i want people to know that my life is much better than many of the nerds out here

anywayyyyyy

4:27 am 夜讀靜聽 “陶吉吉–沙灘”
感覺就像LPC 一樣 寧靜平安  合眼就像回到家一樣的安心

秋天的黃昏，一人獨坐在沙發上抽煙，看煙頭白灰之下露出紅光，微微透露出暖氣，心頭的情緒便跟著那藍煙繚繞而上，一樣的輕鬆，一樣的自由。不轉眼繚煙變成縷縷的細絲，慢慢不見了，而那霎時，心上的情緒也跟著消沉於大千世界，所以也不講那時的情緒，而只講那時的情緒的況味。待要再劃一根洋火，再點起那已點過三四次的雪茄，卻因白灰已積得太多，點不著，乃輕輕的一彈，煙灰靜悄悄的落在銅爐上，其靜寂如同我此時用毛筆寫在中紙上一樣，一點的聲息也沒有。於是再點起來，一口一口的吞雲吐露，香氣撲鼻，宛如偎紅倚翠溫香在抱情調。於是想到煙，想到這煙一股溫煦的熱氣，想到室中繚繞暗淡的煙霞，想到秋天的意味。這時才想起，向來詩文上秋的含義，並不是這樣的，使人聯想的是蕭，是淒涼，是秋扇，是紅葉，是荒林，是萋草。然而秋確有另一意味，沒有春天的陽氣勃勃，也沒有夏天的炎烈迫人、也不像冬天之全入於枯槁凋零。我所愛的是秋林古氣磅礴氣象。

i hv truly found my real interest =)
languages!! though im not good at it..
but its actually one of the few things that i feel reallllllly passionate about.
sth i feel hyper about. and absolutely willing to spend time on…
sth i really hv experienced in ..
say minoring japanese is the only firm personal goal that i wanna achieve/交代自己
say discovering a translation on-campus job makes me hyper for whole day (not even hired.”)
say reading makes me detached from the real world, original trip from Tai Wai to Kowloon Tong,
become from Tai Wai and back to Tai Wai …
say spending hours translating bump’s lyrics
say how i love Li Ping
say how I enjoy A2 lesson

hv to stress that its not my talent / strength/ strong points
just an area that i feel particularly attached to..

just that I don’t particularly like science subjects, nor any academic subjects………

Anyway, today is friggin cold! thats why i struggled for half an hour to get out of bed today >o<

have classes from 9-5 today,

just realized my Cycling PE class will be at 12-1 (the ONLY free block today)

so probably i will just give up this PE placement…

i will just faint away for non-stop no-lunch 8 hours work

anyway…realized knowing some acronyms act’ would build up a sense of belonging
and everyone in the community knows it by heart, in different stages…

e.g.
at maryknoll: AGM, Home E, 9場, li記..
at LPC: EE, TOK, COP, AG, PG, A-Block, free block, S3, DBJ (??)
at MIT: all the buildings numbers (lobby 7 lobby 10..) ,
all the course numbers (course 1,2,3,4,5..course 21F, 21H)
IHTFP, FEE, P/NR, PSET, CPW, IAP, Mass Ave (?), GIR, FAS, BC, TA,
HASS, HASS-D, CI-H, CI-M…..
