haha i don’t know why but i’m suddenly very excited about the china trip! seriously, i think it was the ‘chubby cheeks’ comment R used on S. such randomness makes my day. it could also be today has been a very, very tiring day. but somewhat fulfilling i think. HMM and i think i will sign up for y camp. i haven’t done cip for a while already. maybe it will fill up some of this internal, dunno-what-to-label-it-as vacuum.

life is like a dr. jekyll and mr. hyde for me these days, with stark contrasts between the insipid, monotonous existence in office and the mind-blowing, awesome life outside of it. the feeling of stepping out of the office is equivalent to turning on some sort of valve and releasing the toxic pressure from within. but well, i’m still on ‘project half-glass-full’ so everything can still look very rosy (: oh yes, the wonders of delusions.

and practising magic is really, really awesome! it will be perfect if i can find a magic-loving buddy and we can practise the tricks on one another. after all, the 3’p’s to magic is practise, practise and practise! much like public speaking, a million rehearsals will never provide as much experience as a failed or succeeded attempt. haha but must watch out for those hardcore cynics. magicians have long been told to avoid them at all costs, and i don’t have to be told twice. already tried it on two cynics - W and L - and while it has proven to be enlightening experiences, i would rather avoid such ego-bruising encounters.

and and i just got this random idea! it’s a bit related to my reading retreat one - which is to go to some nearby country where air travel and hotel are cheap. and the main activities? REST AND RELAX. do what those westerners i always see do - busk in the sun listening to their music/reading book/chit chatting. no need to stress about planning anything. good company and good conversations are enough (: and it’s something unique. every overseas trip has been a whirlwind of a journey, and precisely because they are sooooooooo memorable, they overturn your life and make the return to reality so difficult!

alright, it’s been long since i just typed in lowercase. reminds me of my very, very old blogging days. nostalgia ftw.
