R&R

Spent most of the mini-long holiday in bed, sleeping and reading The People’s Republic of Desire. The deprived sleep over the year… Now that I have a job, a place of my own, a porcelain cat, I can finally close my eyes. You could only get a good night sleep when you don’t dread to get out of bed.


Summer arrived with no announcement, almost like a snap. It’s said this is the Year of the Widow, for there is no beginning day of spring in the lunar calendar. Literally, there was no spring. What is the big deal any way? Girls have been wearing fish net and incredible black stockings for a looooong time.

Haven’t finished The People’s Republic of Desire. There is a line that I am fond of – “The only way to track her down was by her perfume.”

And the other fabulous line is from a man. “Life is not a train that we rush to catch. It’s the train we are on.” I had the permission to quote on him.
