I mean I want to see

“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.”

– Chuck Palahniuk

From this blog. This man sounds like such a lovely man. In Vienna.

He reminds me of why teachers in Asia are my favourite people. I love the Princeton programme…I met some of his friends on my trip through Laos, and they remind me of X. Educators *are* my favourite people. The people I met are friendly, easy-going, empathetic, and intelligent and hungry and funny.

I hope you find your harbour. I hope you find your sanctuary. I hope you find your heart’s home. God bless, god speed, and bon voyage. If you want to stay where you are and sleep all day, I think that’s perfectly fine too. :) That’s how dreams are made, you know.

That reminds me, I have to go read The White Tiger. Mmm…reading. You adult readers can go and watch football and surf for porn and watch TV if you want. Just remember to stay clean, go slow, and relax. :)

I think Singapore’s the best place for that, actually.
