Mooncakes and dreams
I like the color of yam. Its this light lavender-purple shade which gives it such a fairy like effect. But I never liked the taste of it till... I just had the yummiest mooncake ever! The yam mooncake from Crown hotel!! The skin is a flaky crust. Totally delicious! It converted a yam-hater! haha!_____________________________

Cel: Well, I get along with them, but secretly, I hate all of them.
I love that woman!

Last week, I read something in the papers - a letter from a lady preaching the virtues of polygamy. She believes that if a husband could have a few wives, he will be less likely to stray. I can't believe that the papers can publish things like that! I beg to differ. In fact, I think the guy might be so stressed that he could either 1) Turn to the other side (homosexuality) or 2) Still have an extramarital affair.
I once, very long ago, read some IQ question which went something like this:
If there are 3 sexes on a planet...
I can't remember the rest of it.
I think I suck when it comes of narratives. I can't write about events. Or what I did. When I do, they just sound awful. Similarly, I can't tell a story. People get bored, I get tired before I am done. I give up even before I reach the climax of the story. I used to write better. Now, everything is about a statement with supporting facts/experiments. Or simply directives in protocols!
About Mainz:
We met up during the weekend for coffee. It has been years(?) since we last had a conversation like that. It was a dreamy conversation. We talked about nothing in particular. I didn't know what we were talking about but it simply flowed. I am so happy for her -- that she is realising her dream. Sometimes, realising a dream may not be as wonderful as it seemed at first, but at least its something. I'd rather have something than nothing.
I should however, never settle for something less.
Ken once told me that if I really wanted to do something, I should not have a back up plan. Its only in such situations, when you have nothing to fall back on, when you go all out to fulfill your desires. I had so far, always thought I will go into reasearch, get my Phd and such. I never had a back up plan.
I have compiled a list of graduate schools. I am still looking.
