There he stands surrounded by people. There he stands talking; joking; laughing. There he stands, feeling more alone than ever.
Miswanting
I came across an article called Why Career Planning is Time Wasted. It takes an interesting look at our abilities in predicting our future wants. This article introduces this term called "Miswanting", used to describe how we may wrongly predict what we want in the future. It occurred to me that this not only applied... Continue Reading →
Rivercruise 2007
Went for some event called "Rivercruise" last week, organised by Currie Hall (UWA). There was some pretty wild dancing and drinking and having fun (and yes, I know fun's relative). I wasn't intending to post any pictures, nor am I intending to, but here's some links to it. Wei Hao's River Cruise Set 1/2 (59... Continue Reading →
Incomprehensible
How odd. The closer I got to her, the less I seemed able to comprehend the person she was. The more I knew about her, the less I understood. And that led me to want to get away; away from her; away from all she stood for. The unknown in some circumstances create mystery and... Continue Reading →
Without Direction
I feel like a powerful ship without a rudder; like I have the potential to achieve a tremendous amount, but because I'm not too sure what I want to achieve, I stay still and let the currents take me where it will.

On Beauty (and Dolphins)
Today while on our usual run along Swan River, Wei Hao and I came across the most beautiful sight, that of the diffused light of the rising sun, spreading itself into a majestic reddish-orange -- like a phoenix. But like all good things, it didn't last long. By the time we went to have a... Continue Reading →
Secret Love
Hello, secret love. Secret Love, Doris Day Once I had a secret love That lived within the heart of me All too soon my secret love Became impatient to be free So I told the friendly star The way that dreamers often do Just how wonderful you are And why I'm so in love with... Continue Reading →
