Honestly, I’m neither fans of Spain or Netherlands. I like Uruguay more than the two and the game of Uruguay vs Germany is more exciting to me. Just love the passion of Forlan shown, the best demonstration of football!
Giraffe and Skreching exercise
Once upon a time, there was a giraffe couple in Africa grassland. They ate the bush on the ground. Sometimes, they picked the leaves fell from the tree luckily and they believed it tastes the best in the world.
“How can I eat that easily without waiting for the luck comes?” They wondered.
The two giraffes got an idea! SKETCHING EXERCISE! They can keep doing sketching exercise and tell their kids to do that.
“Come on childern, we have to do that, for your kids, the kids of your kids, the kids of your kids’ kids, the kids of your kids’ kids’ kids, the kids of your kids’ kids’ kids’ kids…We should never give up!”
They hope that their next generations can take the fresh leaves on the tree easily one day, without looking up the sky, waiting for the miracles from the god.
They do the sketching exercise in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, when they wake up, when they are teeth brushing, when they are eating, when they pooh, when they are fighting, when they are playing games, when they are chatting, when they couldn’t fall into sleep…
The giraffe species kept this “custom” for thousands years or hundreds of generation.
With the efforts and persistent of the ancestors, by 1 cm and 1 cm, giraffe’s neck is long enough to browse the leaves on the tree finally!
Any inspirations from the story?
……
……
……
YES, it is…eh…um…ah…yes…it…is…. Sketching exercise is good for your health!
Why not something about working hard or persistency?
Oh…it’s too much to our kids, and they are gonna learn that from school, society, comparison with the others, blablabla…I would love to tell the fairy tales I wrote to my future kids, and I don’t want to bring any heavy feelings in my stories.
Um…It’s good for you also, you will be the biggest victim if they couldn’t fall into sleep.
Laying on the bed, sending CV in the morning, reading in the afternoon, watchig WorldCup at night, the life beat is like the song I am listening sang by Lenka and Feist. Weight does’t raise but everything is getting better.
One more acupuncture treatment and I would be able to work out in GYM during the afternoon…so…it would be working out in the afternoon and reading at night after the WorldCup…Really enjoy this kinda lifestyle…
Currently listening: Lenka, Feist, Jason Mraz, and Alicia Keys
Currently Reading: Books about Lama and Buddhlism brought in Tibet
Got back from the trip for half of month, and still taking a long break. My body is still recovering, lost about 10 pounds and some hurts in the trip. Sending CV every morning and doing exercise in the afternoon, um…maybe it’s the time to think about my future. I’ve already got some brief idea these years, but the way to achieve it is still…_____…blank. Just wait, wait for the job, wait for the mood to write…I’m planning to tidy up all my notes and pictures in every journey, maybe this blank period is the time to write something, maybe a book?…ha…Then that means I have to be unemployed for months. I’m impatient sometimes for lagging behind people around me. In the trip, I planned to kick out this kinda feeling by cycling and cycling, and I feel better for a while when I got back. But now, bad feelings and sense of insecure returns…It’s all out of my control, this kinda uncertainty and the feeling of nothing I can do is real bad…but all I have to do is just wait, just to follow that for now…so…stay calm…:)
Today…I carried two armchairs from IKEA back home…
1. For my dad to sit comfortably watching World cup (Naughty daddy couldn’t sit properly on normal chair and fell down last night. He’s fine, just hahaha and return to the sit and concentrate on thinking what to bet…and he lose.)
2. For myself to sit properly and think in the afternoon…
-Tell me the candy you like(M&M’s, Chupa Chups, Almond Roca, Godiva, whatever…just don’t make it difficult to get), and you will get picture of a kid, who ate the candy you pick on my way cycling from Chengdu to Lhasa, Tibet as postcard.
-I will try to ask the address of the kid, so you two can be pen friend. Translation service will be provided to those don’t know to write Chinese, but still, you have to write it on your own.
Just handed in my honorary project yesterday and brought the flight ticket and travel insurance today. Hoooooray!
-I will go there on 11 May, and back to H.K on about 10 June.
-I will try to get the photo printed in Lhasa if I find a shop there. Hopefully it won’t be difficult because I will take my favorite Minolta SRT 101 film camera there. But still there might be constrain of time, location and my energy…so maybe the postmark will be from H.K finally.
Email the candy you like and your address to me if you want to join the Project O, my email address is: annoyingthing@gmail.com

Congrats that you get rice, but you are not suppose to talk too much in this country.
能討活的話,其他都不理了。
Born to be an economic animal and nothing political…
你必須變得強悍才可以保命。
Oh boy, you have to be really tough to survive.
Smile to every challenges.
作為一個女生,你在這個國家會學會忍耐非凡人所能忍耐的。
As a woman, you will learn to bear something unbearable in this country.
There are many people still struggling for their survival in the world. We are doing good compare to them. We got food, water, entertainment and everything. But I really don’t like this kind of content feeling come by comparison. Knowing about the situation of them would make me treasure about what I own more, but I also have a guilt feeling.
People with apathetic mind might say we deserve it because we are more intelligent, we got skills, and we have higher culture sense and moral standard. But no, we are only lucky enough to land on an abundant country, a place that resources of the earth concentrated. We occupied the quota of others, we ate the proportion of others, and we enjoy the lifestyle that someone in the other sides of the world did not even imagined to have. When I was small, mum told me kids in the Africa are starving when I was too full and refuse to eat some more. Is that finishing the whole big bowl of rice helps the situation in third world countries?
I would like to split it up in my mind. I don’t want my happiness linked with guilty feeling. My content feeling comes from appreciation, treasure and grace. Of course, comparing those worse than me would make me treasure more. While we could be fabulously content or absolutely nothing when we are comparing to others, some people are rich enough as if they own the whole world and some people’s survival right are threatened in everyday life. It is stupid to simply comparing to those better or worse off. There is no standard meter to evaluate content or happiness objectively. The comparison made me know about my responsibility to help those in need.
And about my happiness, it’s all subjective and does nothing with comparison. It could be easy, it could be difficult, it’s about to be with the ones I treasure and treasure me. I have a goal, to have my own family and bring my kids to yellow stone state park, running in the mountain, and say hello to the black bears. It’s impulsive and a bit silly, but it doesn’t bring any guilt feeling.
