Chapter 1: The Train Station

I've decided that what I will do is post a snippet, a paragraph or two, of the text, so you can get the rough idea, instead of post the whole story verbatim. I'll also post updates on the number of words I've written. As of now, it's at 1,110. Just another 48,890! “Get off here,... Continue Reading →

Rules I Live By

Here are some rules I live by. I had never actually consciously used them, until the last few years, where I've learned through greater self-awareness what drives the motivations behind me. I do think that most of these are "positive", but like Rule #1 on my list, "there is nothing either good or bad but... Continue Reading →

Lucky Dresden Lea

I had this thought pop onto my mind while riding on the bus to work: I die. Nothing remains of me (the crash is bad, body badly burnt), except (miraculously) my bag.

Tap. Tap. It's 5:25. A bead forms on his temple. An ant below drowns in the dead sea.... Continue Reading →

Apple Onsite Repairs?

As I was thinking of getting a MacBook from Apple and bringing it over with me to UWA (University of Western Australia), I decided to take a look at their "AppleCare Protection Plan for MacBook Pro/PowerBook". I scanned through the text once quickly, and decided that it wasn't for me. But an asterisk at the... Continue Reading →

The Tricky Business of Identity

"Who are you, really?" asks she. "I am who you think I am." says he. "Don't play games with me." "Who else could I be? Tell me." "I want to know what you think most people think you are." "Popular opinion does not a man make." "A man's identity is only so much as people... Continue Reading →
