"Other people are bothered by real problems but you are worried about things that you imagine up yourself"

I need to start controlling my emotions. Can I be more robotic.

everything but that

Don't give up

One day a group of kids signed up for a new spacecraft course. Some of them knew what they were looking for, some of them wanted the course of travel to act as a means of self discovery. So they got onto the spacecraft, and detached themselves from the mainstream earthly way of life. They travelled through sotaspace, living and learning differently from their friends who remained on earth. It was fun and fresh initially. The kids grew close through various charity/academic exchange missions with inhabitants of other planets.

As they travelled many light years, some began to grow tired and weary, and some even began to question if anything good would come of this quest and of course, some began to regret coming on board. As much fun as they were having, they grew sick of fighting the various cosmic monsters, slaying huge meteorites and resisting suction vortexes.

Having already travelled 4 light years (and currently being in the 5th light year of travel), the various cosmic obstacle appeared increasingly difficult and frequent. They fought hard and long, losing sleep and motivation. The thoughts of give up made appearances as regular as the rate of obstacles attacking them.

Along the way, the dancing disco alien temporarily residing in the Londonus region N7-2HJ (she did a mutual ejection from their spacecraft just half a light year or so ago) continuously sent radiowaves and telekinetic care ammunition, urging them not to lose faith. She prayed to the Creator, who promised to ensure the spacecraft's ultimate safety. The kids were absolutely drained. They were using the last ounces of their energy to combat the mid-ion examinataur 14, the first of the many wormholes they'd face since crossing into the realms governed by the pre/IBee galactic government.

They heeded the dancing disco alien's advice. They felt they were barely scraping through when they were in fact actually doing amazing. She continued watching over them from Londonus while fighting her own dance battles with metaphysical forces from beyond. 

At the end of the 6th light year the spacecraft approached the biggest wormhole- the legendary BIG BLACK HOLE on the brink of the IBee galactical governement's headquarters itself. They fought till the end, and braced themselves as they were sucked into the hole.

(plot twist) PFFFT! they emerged unscathed at the other end- to the creation of an entire new universe with a new abundance of opportunities to explore!!!! They thought they'd met their demise when they actually gained an opening to another universe with a whole new level of dimensions and possibilities. Beyond that, they were assured of the knowledge, maturity and tough spirit they had in them!!!!111!!11!

After Ballet

Being in town after ballet classes in Pineapple/Danceworks = solo exploration. Time alone is for lots of walking, getting distracted, observing and thinking.

I rarely shop/spend (with the exception of daily necessities and groceries) to reward myself at times like these. Tried out some amazing (and unworthy of mentioning aka Beatroot organic veggie café) places that were above my usual budget of £ 5-6 for a meal. Pretty expensive (but within my 2nd budget of £ 10) but really, really worth it for the super generous portions and amazing quality !!

Very tempting but I still have my doubts over makeshift street stall hygiene levels

Loads of these along the street where I live

"I was suddenly in a panic that this terrifying disrespect for death and dying, this reversion in human social revolution, would be reduced to a foot-note of history, treated like a harmless glitch in a computer program that might or might not again cause a problem, unless someone forced the world to remember it."

Iris Chang, 1997

The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

the boys said they thought I'd be interested and

1. "it's a confusing irrelevant fictional book about intergalactic cosmic travel that does not make much sense"
2. "you'll be wonky like us"

considering how wonky I already am (2) shouldn't be a problem and so far this is a pretty fun book

                                                                              Blink

Psychology of quick instinctive judgements from thin-slices of experience, importance and dangers of snap judgements. Great explanations and case studies provided. Really insightful and applicable!

#faroffgoals

Most of the time I wish to have a beautiful ballet body and amazing ballet technique (aka to be like Miko/Juliet/Natalia Osipova/everyone else etc.(!!) ), at times I wish I was highly intellectual and sometimes I really wish I was an actual talented visual artist like Yoshiyuki Osaki I seriously love the effortless-casual watercolour/sketching style and I really look up to all my talented sota VA friends + cousins and aunties + all the other artists out there that can achieve that sort of fluent natural style asjfgajfhah

Astrophysics

Isn't it strange how someone as mathematically-impaired as I am would be so interested in Astrophysics (Physical Cosmology)??

(Clear graphs and cute photos to sum up what I've been reading up about so I don't have to manually type out everything I've learnt)

(And something cool to end off with)

A little reminder of how God is so great and wonderful 

You are God's gift to you and what you become is your gift to God.
