It's frightening how much I see myself in you sometimes.
The same competitiveness, the impatience, the stubbornness to take the hard way, the drive for the good & better...
And I see our weaknesses clearer than ever, how one word blurted out of anger could devastate a relationship, how easily we could detach from those who lost their moral compass, albeit how intimate the relationship had been...
The conflicts and mishandling of relationships I had here really pushed me to be a person that I've never envisioned myself to become. I'll admit that in some instances, the push gave me more protection and courage to uphold my values, but sometimes I see myself going too far.
I hope I'll be able to preserve an untainted conscience and ambition along the way.

Every time I see people publicizing their loss of motivation or patience to continue their path, I want to shake them and remind them of their initial goal.
The question is not whether you can settle for less, but whether those who loved you and gave what you have today could do so.
So take on the pain and pressure– as long as there is a meaning to it.

DC touchdown
Pictures will do:)
Went to the Museum of Natural Sciences on the first day we arrived and the deep ocean exhibit is really intriguing!!! I found the root of tabby's aggressiveness :p I also like the awkward bend of the giraffe as it is drinking water.
Planning to go to the Spy Museum today!
And I played around with the clone camera! It's a really failed attempt but it was enough to make my brother pissed since I kept forcing him to take pictures with me!
Lastly the Andy Warhol eyeshadow palette was all i got for thanksgiving! I don't actually wanna use it up since it's too pretty!
More to come..

也許真的瘋了
我真的是一個自虐狂。
明知自己最怕finance,明知自己較內向,而business journalism 是要求學生非常的積極地參與討論...明知我可以輕輕鬆鬆地過下個學期...
我居然逼自己面對這一切。
就好像第一次叫我做man on the street interview一樣, 我整個慌起來,覺得approach路人還要被拒絕或看臉色真的很尷尬。但久而久之,開始習慣被拒絕,面皮也厚了,反而很樂意做這種interview.
我知道,這是一個很難得的機會。為了你,為了儘快變得financially independent,我會熬下去。
我相信太易放棄沒意思。

all boundaries are conventions
Cloud Atlas is a wonderful film. It reflects the humanity that survives different eras, different races and different social boundaries. We have to do what we cannot do, in order to put an end to abusive power and tell the truth, despite the cost and challenges to do so. It also explores the connectivity between people. As Somni-451, a human fabricant in the story, said, “Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.”

a rather cynical thought
"When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance ."– Oscar Wilde

fighting!
當你感到自己處處碰壁,無論工作、愛情或交朋結友都沒有一件順心的時候,千萬不要放棄。
往往熬過那個關卡,就會帶來更好的風景。
我說真的– 你要擁有前所未有的東西,就得做你從來沒有試過的事。
