After a weekend of thinking far too much about Scott Summers and catching up with developments in the X-Men universe(s) during the last 6 years (a great deal of them! the graphic novel industry has been revolutionised!), all because of the Wolverine movie (the reverie was quickly brought to an abrupt end by the start [...]

Sinful, angry, incompetent

….unloving, unforgiving, cantankerous, easily provoked; and fallen so far short of God’s expectations of me.

For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do [...]
Dreams

I guess many of the things that are important to me belong to the realm of dreams, imagination, ideals, abstract thought, of stories and poetry – things that cannot be conveyed in plain English but only through books and movies and poetry.
To ask me to explain and defend them in exposition rather than in narrative [...]
A Feeling Of Impending Doom

My laptop is going to die any day. I have just backed up all my files into a hard drive, as I feel the hour is nigh when I will switch it on and it will not even start up.
My laptop had never been an easy companion to live with; our relationship was at best [...]
Neuroticism

Most people when they’re in love invent every kind of reason to persuade themselves that it’s only sensible to do what they want. I suppose that’s why there are so many disastrous marriages. They are like those who put their affairs into the hands of someone they know to be a crook, but who happens [...]

By manipulating levels of an important protein in the brain, certain memories can be selectively deleted, researchers led by neurobiologist Joe Tsien [...]
Remembering the Right Things

Some little time after my previous entry, Z called me up to give me a huge scolding.
The major points (as I remember them) were:
- I am scolding you for being so incredibly foolish and shen zai fu zhong bu zhi fu.

Last night I dreamt that the Japanese invaded Singapore again, just like in WWII. The international media had some disapproving remarks to make about it, because after all the Olympics were just over and the military action was flying in the face of the spirit of international solidarity, wasn’t it? However, that did not stop the Japanese [...]
A dream I had…

It was in my dream that you were my loved one
Just as you are in the waking world
We shared common passions and spoke the same tongue
And had a whole future to look forward to.
It so came to pass that we planned to go jogging
I put on my shoes and put study on hold
