Geomancy

I know its a load of bull, but it makes good reading:

(1) wrt current squeeze

知什么叫做“火星撞地球”，必定要看这一对组合了，两个火爆型的人在一起要谈一次恋爱，的确需要大量“军火”。而且天蝎座很多事都放在心上不表现出来，一旦有情变，他的报复性极强，达五星!!!白羊座很容易会被天蝎座的神秘魅力吸引，而将羊头撞过去，结果一撞出事，皆因两个人都是权力至上的人。试想如此情况之下，哪有可能不是由早吵到晚的一对？


(2) wrt previous squeeze

非常适合一起的一对组合，但可能要象赌博一样博一博。因为你俩的人生态度很接近，对任何事物都有象小孩子一般的热情和好奇，彼此很容日易沟通起来。要留意的就是白羊座的人缺乏耐性和持久力，而水瓶座的人变化多端，有时候连自己需要什么也不知道，两个人在一起，一定要找到解决这个问题的药方

Choices

I asked her why did she have her ex-crush's photo on her handphone's wallpaper, to which she replied, "I will be getting married (to another guy) in two weeks' time, and after that I will never be able to have his photo on my wallpaper ever again".

That was in 2004, and they have been happily married and living overseas since. They have a kid now, but the memory of the wallpaper incident never fails to remind me that in life, as with most things, it's all about the choices we make and how we choose to make things work.

Wishes

Happy Birthday Meiling. You should be 25 now. What would you have been doing? Would you have married? Would we still be arguing over the smallest things? Would you still be the same? Would WE still be the same?

I miss you terribly. One day when my chores are done here I will see you again. One day.

Hopeless

There's some law that states that expenditure is directly proportional to income. Am drooling after a weekend of car showroom viewing... Why are my toys getting more and more expensive?!

Weaving

Yet even as the audience is drawn into a tale, we must pause to ask: who is the story-teller? How far can we believe and trust the story? After all, a storyteller may entral, educate, entertain - or deceive - and sometimes all at the same time. Whose reality can we trust?

Inspiration

Sometimes, getting a break gives us time to reflect on the things we do and why we do them, and sometimes inspiration comes in different forms. Tonight, it was in the form of a late night DVD marathon of "Damages: Season 2".

I WANT to do this. I just need to keep myself motivated.

Work

"Our work will at least have distracted us, it will have provided a perfect bubble in which to invest our hopes for perfection, it will have focused our immeasurable anxieties on a few relatively small scale and achievable goals, it will have given us a sense of mastery, it will have made us respectably tired, it will have put food on the table. It will have kept us out of greater trouble."

Alain de Botton, "The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work"

I will take on a new role in my career, as in-house counsel, starting this week. This will be the pleasurable distraction that I was seeking.
