早上好!又沒睡了!但精神还很好~
越夜就要把音乐调得更大声。让它来为我的不眠不休而打气。
想喝杯牛奶,因为肚子又饿了~

Lorenzo’s Oil
I came upon this movie, Lorenzo’s Oil, in my science elective class. It tells a story of a little boy, Lorenzo, suffering from adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), losing all his basic functions like: memory, sight, hearing, mobility and swallowing of saliva and etc. In his time, none of the ALD boys survived after the 24 months diagnosis and there are no treatments to this disease. The symptoms are very similar with 1 Litre of Tears if you say so but for ALD case, it only happens to boys who inherit the defective genes from the mother. This defect has cause the body not able to reproduce enough enzymes in the body. Hence, the very long fatty acids cannot be broken down and then build up in the brain.
Life is hard enough at times. Facing genetic problems that can never be controlled, i couldn’t picture how badly one is facing such a pressure. Devastated, helpless and anguish may even not be adequate to describe their feelings in the journey they are embarked on.
Augusto Odone, father of the Lorenzo, said this to his wife in the movie, “Michaela, the doctors are in the dark. They’re groping in the dark. “And this is how i feel every time i came upon these medical related movies. Damn right we are helpless with the medical knowledge we have and no where to turn to except the doctors. It reminds me of ancient priests and nowadays doctors analogy. I am not saying they are con man too. But science is still on this kind of experimenting, statics results protocol. They never say they are heading the right way, they are merely experimenting. Their diagnosis are purely base on what they know. How about the beyonds? How many lives are in dispense in order to know more about the disease? Or this is how nature outwit the advancement of science?
In terms of involving a life and a body, science just pulls me off the list.

老妈骗我
妈妈说:“修剪眼睫毛可以让它长得更长。”
可是妈妈没说剪了之后毛尾其实会比较硬(因为太很齐的关系),眼睛一眨一眨是会痛的!
我的眼睛平时已经快柔到~
可以变成瞎子了。
现在更糟!
我好痛啊!!!

- Digital camera
- KONCEPT Mini-Z Desk Lamp
I think they are pretty achievable… Just whether if i’m willing to spend…
姑姑病了
最近我的姑姑病了。一位从小一把屎一把尿地把我们养大的姑姑,也跟其它人一样得经历那生老病死的过程。
我只是在病房的走廊随意说道:“看!姑姑以前健健康康的,现在却要住在医院。” 妹妹就连忙补上:“生老病死你还看不开吗?”
我好像还真的还看不开~
Being Babysitted
My dad has been taking a long break ever since Chinese New Year. I kinda enjoy this period. I don’t have to rush for the 7:30am dateline every morning, and most importantly i have free transport home everyday. This save me a lot of my time on traveling.
Like for today, my mum din cook lunch. My dad says “Your mum asks me to bring you out for lunch.” Even though i offer to go home and cook instant noodle, but the thought of him mentioning them is so sweet… Feel so much babysitted and taken care of…
Anyway, my holiday commerces~ Hurray~
Let Inner Voice Vent My Stress
I yelled at someone in my dream. It is an enjoyment because i never get to do that in real life. It is my inner voice. At least i get to put a stop to irritating people who come so close.
I screamed “Enough! Enough! That’s enough!”. So don’t get too close to me… I am at my stressful period.
Recent First Times
There are several first times within these few months of Year 2008.
My desktop is totally down, as i have yet to find out whether the hardware or software has caused it to reboot and unbootable at times. I am totally dependent on my sister’s laptop. Yes… A very portable device. What i cannot stand is the batt duration. 95% charged can only last 1:48hours and it flats real quickly when in use. Don’t buy Acer laptop!!!
I skipped my usual CNY house visiting this year, just because i need to go to library for Asian Art History presentation in the coming week. I definitely missed a lot, especially on the hongbaos. But i’m glad my parents are forgiving. This privilege will not come by if i am in my younger days.
I missed this year poly’s steamboat at Serene’s house. Something that i would not have ever done. To the people, i will come next year…
I decided to check out new printing shop at Queensway Shopping Centre. Ultra Supplies dominating the 3rd level has a sister company doing just photocopying and binding. The most beneficial things are: they are nearer (compared to traveling to Gear’s shop), and they open till 10pm on weekdays, 9pm on weekends (this includes the Sundays and Public Holidays). I have only visited twice, still holding mix feelings about this shop.
They have like 10 sales people at the counter serving, therefore, they can really do things fast fast fast fast fast fast fast for you. But the staff are mainly foreigners (PRC and Indians), i am scare if they don’t get what i want to convey. While in Gear’s shop, they give professional advises, like paper type you can use. This is exceptionally helpful when Chan last visited Gear’s shop, doing printing on my behalf. They helped him with the choice of paper while i was in school rushing for assignments.
Ironically, when i approach one sales staff today, he tells me he is busy at the moment. I am puzzle and i stand there thinking: so you are not going to serve me? That is the boldest attempt to tell your customer, i would think. One of the printout doesn’t come out nicely, with some printing lines. Without 2nd question asked, he reprinted for me. Weirdly, it cost only $5 while exactly the same size i printed on Sunday cost $6. And i am not used to the price they mention is before GST. You ended paying some coins…
The very first time i feel damn tongue tied during presentations. I am not scare, just that i cannot convey what is in my mind and carry on rattling on things that only i understand but not the others. I probably need to practice my speech!!!
Today i rework my Experimental Typography Poster and i’m very grateful to have 2 of my most important men: my dad and Lester, to help me. Somehow i feel they are totally supportive with the rubbish i do. Hope this will carry on till i grow old. Bleah…
