So fast
January 22, 2011

So, it's another week. The second week back to school wasn't easier than the first, so I just didn't have the motivation to update this site. Anyway I'm back, and it's time to update.

First, I passed my exam. And this means I officially have one and a half years left before graduation. During christmas, I was in a deep emotional crisis that made me virtually impossible to study; so I just made sure I sit in front of piles of books every day so that I could read as much as I could, despite poor efficiency. I once panicked that I'd not pass. Fortunate enough, eventually, I performed not bad in exam.

Looking back, complaining about exams, and feeling hopeless during which, have become a routine for me. If you look at what I wrote last June, you'll know how much I hate exams:

"No matter what, I hate dental exams. It deprives me of freedom, and so much more. It's practically a barrier to human connection."

Anyway, I won't be having exam till June, and it's finally time to reorganize myself. Now that two third of January has passed, and CNY would come soon, it's a good chance to relax. Wait a minute, CNY is my most-hated festival, even more hated than Christmas. So what shall I do?

Reservations
January 16, 2011

This topic has been mentioned multiple times here, so excuse me in advance if you feel boring. But whenever I sit quietly alone in the past few months, what I do is not revision, or useful reading, or recreation, but feeling unpleasant uncertainty. I can't help thinking that the happy moments that I'm having would soon fade away.

And this is a logical step given what I've been subjected to. With the coming of 2011, my remaining university life is reduced to one and a half year. I only have one and a half year to enjoy what many people refer to as the golden years in life. Yet, so many dreams that I dreamed of has not been accomplished. I live every day miserably. I waste my holidays brutally. There are moments happier than others, but in general, I'm under the shadow of darkness. I always suspect that my sole source of happiness would leave me alone, and at the end, I'm all by myself. This hasn't happened, yet. If my thoughts are not so complicated, I can live more happily, and even feel that I'm in one of the perfect moments in life: embraced by love, having a predictable career (what else?).. I could have considered uncertainty a blessing from God, a luxury I enjoy while I'm young. But I'm not such a person. I always tend to prepare for the worst, and this makes me feel troubled. I just don't want to come across with a moment when I graduate that I find all my five years in university, that is supposed to be the best time in young adulthood, totally wasted. I'll not have these five years again. I just can't afford to waste any more time that I will never enjoy again.

Too good to be true
January 14, 2011

What's been happening for the past few days (since exam ended) are all too good to be true. As I've mentioned, there were some relaxing days before school began. And even after school began, my luck continued. Like Tuesday wasn't as stressful as expected, Thursday was another relaxing day-off, … The present joy that I'm having are just so unreal that I suspect they'll soon fade away. Yes, I've been in pain for too long, especially in the two months preceding Christmas, that I now always seem to have doubts about my happiness. I can't just live happily with the present moment - I always tend to think current pleasure is only temporary, and soon I'll fall victim to eternal pain again.

But I'm trying. I'm trying not to forecast love and luck with logic, because logic tells us that whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Love and luck are totally different things. What's the happiest that love and luck can bring are the unexpected outcomes that logic cannot tell.

New theme pix, the first in two months. This is one I really like. Say bye bye to the old one.


Exam, mac app store, more
January 9, 2011

Well, exam ended on 6th. I used to be annoyed by the fact that there're only few days for relax before school resumes, but now I'm in year 4.5, and it's time to accept the fact. I'm grateful to have a few days of rest and relaxation. These three days are one of the few moments that I don't need to think about Dentistry at all. This can't happen even in summer, because, first, holiday doesn't start until late July; second, last summer I still read quite a number of dental articles just for fun. So, I feel blessed now, and I had a really nice time, including a day at OP.

Btw I've tried Mac App Store. While it's really a convenient way to buy apps and keep apps updated, there're a few issues. For example, many apps, especially games, are only made from iPad games. They should at least give potential buyers a warning that iPad and Mac versions are essentially the same, so that they won't buy the same app twice.. Another thing is that developers still tend to think desktop apps should be expensive. Hopefully things will change.


2011
January 1, 2011

HNY. New year signifies new start. However, my life is now in a complete mess; so is my mind. Perhaps for me, new year starts on Jan 6. Things won't improve much then, but at least when I feel miserable, I can just sit there and do nothing.

I had a little crazy thought yesterday: would new year day be the end of the world? Time has proved that it isn't the case. However, one thing is true: iOS devices' timer isn't working on new year day. You may want to be careful with that.. However, it seems that only iOS4 is affected; my iPhone 2G which runs iOS3.x is working perfectly fine.

PS There were (67456-66655) 801 visits from Dec 8 to Dec 31, meaning 33.4 visits per day. As for the whole year of 2010, we've had (67456-53347) 14109 visits. This is huge. Thank you so much. HNY again.
