I’ve become a fan of 几米. This illustrator/writer based in taipei. He wrote turn left turn right which was made into a movie, and stefanie sang the theme song. Recently though, he’s begun writing about anomie, and social problems, which I find even more interesting. When I feel an emotion, I often ask myself why. Why am I feeling groggy. Why am I feeling pissed. Why am I feeling bored. I realise it’s better to just take it as it is, and not treat every emotion as a symptomatic manifestation of some other entrenched psychological problem. I’ve tried to stop being so schizo in the way I think. It’s like I split my mind up into different people and each one takes a different side of an issue and argue. The result is inaction. Apparently blood type B people are more prone to neuroticism O.o. The theory that blood type determines personality is big in Japan and Korea. Largely inaccurate for me. Whistles~. Just read turn left turn right which i borrowed from tina. Love is a luxury. I like chinese songs cuz of the way they portray love. It’s valued more. It’s a commitment. Not just a lovegame. Thank you dad for being the best. Anw, in turn left turn right, a scene with the crestfallen lovers separated a new years eve made me remember this song: Arco, Happy New Year. (short snippet)

january sky like a slate wiped clean
and stillness of air where nothing has been
wait for your word as if to say
another last chance lives from today

happy new year – the world just keeps turning
day into night, night into day
holding on tight, millions all hoping
something like love will light up the way
