Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country
Dear President Obama,
When you are president, don’t eat junk food. Junk food makes you fat. Your family shouldn’t eat junk food, either, because it is not healthy. Obama, you rock.

The Man Who Did Not Believe in Love
I want to tell you a very old story about the man who didn’t believe in love. This was an ordinary man just like you and me, but what made this man special was his way of thinking. He thought love doesn’t exist. Of course, he had a lot of experience trying to find love, and he had observed the people around him. Much of his life had been spent searching for love, only to find it...

i’ve got myself a vintage ride recently. its an elegant pristine little ride, smooth and glistening with newness. after a few long distance rides, screws are starting to get loosen, parts start to clank, the elegant little one is losing its charm. i start to wonder if the ride is suitable for my kind of riding, long distances on not-so-smooth-roads-as-i-had-imagined. i start to wonder if i...

things that pass us by..
so many things have happened lately. things good, and things bad.
i’ve always imagined the kind of love i would receive finally from the ONE. A gentle love, sensitive, romantic, doting.. a love that would empower me through its gentleness, that would accept eveything and anything. Perhaps i was too used to being under my father’s wings, until he passed away, and i have to withstand...

總是開心也笑，不開心也笑。

有時候，忘了把情緒裡的暗藍收拾乾淨，

The Accidental Day
Today is an “accidental” day.
+ i’ve got a red bump (aka pimple!) on my nose, karma for laughing at my Ichiban Tomodaichi (sometimes you have no choice but to believe in it).
+ after a good biceps workout with DUMB-bells at the gym, i dropped 1 of them on my left index finger. resulting in throbbing pain which lasted for at least 30mins, and residual pain the whole evening...
now, more than ever.
I am lost.
In terms of my design direction. How do i really want to drive my design career? Am i satisfied with getting in jobs that are good for me to get by? Or do i want to go all out and prove my worth? To which, im not too sure of my worth nowadays. My creative juices seemed to have dried up. No more fantastic, cool, spatial ideas. No more eureka! moments. No more sparks.
I am not...
Life as a bummer
Hello! Im glynis, and im a bummer! =)
Its been a month and half now since i left my comfortable, not-too-bad-paying job, to live life as a “free” person. I now enjoy gym sessions in the afternoon, swims when there’s no dirty old men at the public pool, and sleep till whatever time i would like to!
On top of all that, i have been taking on a few design jobs here and there,...

在平靜晨曦 新的衣飾 我在醉心籌備 越難被提起 仍然越要愛你 不甘像空氣 為你勾畫 迷倒你一雙眉 為了一夜 花去我一星期 連動作 仍是要故意優美 只想你回憶中 留下我在回味 時刻想給你最好 但事實我知道 無可商討 時刻想給你最好 這種苦 我知道 仍想跟你相好 Ooh… 除了你不愛誰人 能愛到你一些 已深感最好 在平靜祈禱 終於一天 我是你的全部 未能被難倒 來迎合你嗜好 將心力消耗
