it's been a beautiful blur.

perhaps now that my room is all cleared out,im surprised at how overwhelmingly white my room looks; perhaps with my next door roommate gone, the sudden realization that the people that had made sydney beautiful have almost all gone. perhaps the speech of a sister to her beloved brother on his big day that marked a new journey,both exciting,exhilarating, yet almost wistful; perhaps that warm fuzzy feeling i felt last night when 4 amazing people moved my monstrous 12 boxes of junk that i managed to accumulate within the span of a year (or 8 months to be precise). perhaps it was that last icecream meeting at coogee on wednesday with someone ive poured out my heart so much too over the year; or perhaps it was about feeling so comfortable in another's presence that doing the simplest things become a memory etched in one's heart. awesome coursemates:)(my daily supplements:P) my once a week dose of sanity and love:) housemates:) dan and fat:):) karen's handmade wedding cake.it's crazy. horsing around at bondi--kahmun reckons we look terrible in this photo but since she placed the other up, this got to do:))

while this is not goodbye forever, i realised, it is after all, not about the concept of eternity that matters, but in very fact, the goodbyes itself that makes it painful.

when words read a million times over but still never a bore.(unlike my exam notes that are boring me to tears)

"When you drop a glass or a plate to the ground it makes a loud crashing sound. When a window shatters, a table leg breaks, or when a picture falls off the wall it makes a noise. But as for your heart, when that breaks, it's completely silent. You would think it's so important that it would make the loudest noise in the whole world, or even have some sort of ceremonious sound like the gong of a cymbal or the ringing of a bell. But it's silent and you almost wish there was a noise to distract you from the pain." --Cecelia Ahern

i love physics.

every morning an endless battle ensues within me. the gravitational force that's tugging at me back into bed and the equally strong urgency derived from a pile of never ending work that's making me move towards my breakfast drawer. usually the one that requires me to travel the shortest distance ends up victorious. the bed of cos, which goes without saying. unless the force on the other end is simply too great a draw- a growling stomach maybe, but almost all the time, it's about work that's loading as if each piece were under the influence of gravity and the only way it could go is down onto me. sometimes i wish both forces work in the same direction.
so they say the world's first eco-city, Dongtan is all but bad news, being sustainable not only environmentally, but also socially, economically and culturally. im not sure if i will embrace this idea as warmly as i should. after all, being an advocate for out poor environment for the longest time, i should be overjoyed that at last, some sort of concrete action is taking place. still, there's this nagging feeling in me that this eco-city may be just a veiled attempt to get rid of marshes in the region to create more economically viable areas--it's urbanisation all over again, only that it's marketed with the eco label. think about it. it perturbed me when i read today's papers and a minister was quoted saying that Dongtan will be created over wastelands, thus no harm will be caused to the natural environment.first of all, can agricultural land near a large ecologically significant wetland be considered a wasteland? even if we presume that this agricultural land is ...
