听见冬天的离开我在某年某月醒过来
歌我想我等我期待未来却不能因此安排
词（
转阴天傍晚车窗外未来有一个人在等待
自向左向右向前看爱要拐几个弯才来
音
魁我遇见谁会有怎样的对白
网我等的人他在多远的未来
ｉ）
ｎ我听见风来自地铁和人海
ｋ我排着队拿着爱的号码牌
ｕ
ｉ我往前飞飞过一片时间海
· 我们也曾在爱情里受伤害
ｃ
ｏ我看着路梦的入口有点窄
ｍ我遇见你是最美丽的意外
　
　总有一天我的谜底会解开

Late Night Musings

Okay it is not that late. If for some miraculous reason someone's discovered this blog. I know it's rough. It's just an idea, a feeling for a bigger project. When I'm inspired, I make lists:

nostalgia
childhood
history & news
cultural shock
globalization
youth
confusion/identity crisis
indie scene
travel

Asian Like Me

“Let me summarize my feelings toward Asian values: Fuck filial piety. Fuck grade-grubbing. Fuck Ivy League mania. Fuck deference to authority. Fuck humility and hard work. Fuck harmonious relations. Fuck sacrificing for the future. Fuck earnest, striving middle-class servility.”

This isn’t the first piece of writing on the bullshits of Asian-America, but it’s the first cover feature on a prominent “non-ethnic” magazine (New York mag) I’ve ever seen. Via

not gonna lie, this freaked me out as a kid. Will always be my favorite anime though.

2011-05-10T19:24:00.000-07:00

I was absolutely obsessed with this. kids are easily impressed right?

2011-05-10T19:22:00.000-07:00

holy shit guise. remember this? OhMyGod. there were like 6 different spinoffs. I even read that stupid collection of fanfics that somehow got published where Maggie (is that her name)'s boyfriend gets killed or something or another. i'm pretty sure i had a school girl crush on the angsty one with the long hair. but comeon, who didn't?

Basically, my introduction to a real sense of intellectual superiority. Oh man, spending my allowance buying the latest edition and reading it on the bus, I thought I was so sophisticated. One of the better things I read as an ambitious/shallow wannabe writer.

Remember the first time I read this book. Thought my heart was going to burst. so much melodrama, so much pretentious flowery language. so much adolescent daydreaming. I was what? 12? Gosh it killed me, kinda like the first time a 12 year old girl reads Twilight, but way way more intense. The author was fined for plagiarism a few years ago, was voted China's most hated male celebrity, is still a teen idol.

"　很多年以后，我站在竖立着一块炼泅石的海岸，面朝大海，面朝我的王国，面朝臣服于我的子民，面朝凡世起伏的喧嚣，面朝天空的霰雪鸟，泪流满面。"

ohMYGoodness, this is soooo beautiful i'm going to cryyyy.

Table for 2 (by Blind-C-Copy)

I wanted this to be my first post. Something about this photo captures the essence of my past, my intrinsic identity perfectly. It is nothing glamorous, nothing confrontational yet for some reason, it illustrates everything I want and everything I thought i left. Somehow I feel that walking through Chicago or NYC one day with men in suits and ties, I'll experience a sudden urge to return to something like this and I am quite certain that it will be there waiting for me when i'm ready.
