It's another month I haven't updated here. Though I don't have the time to write, or just don't have the momentum to login and start a record, I keep reading my friends' diary everyday. It's wierd to think about why people would rather share their thoughts and feelings on a rather passive, isolated and virtual area and give up the chance to go into direct conversation and sharing with friends? Are they really that busy? Somehow I feel that people nowadays in this era in this very city are afraid of having attachment to relationships and they are simply 'dehumanised'. Looking around my friends, most of them having computer backgrounds or being highly literate in computer, they don't really like to engage in close relationship with people. While they are surrounded by friends, they prefer keeping silent and start a conversation on icq. Whereas some of my friends (hardly find an example) from the arts group, they are more into human interactions and would prefer switching the computer off and go ahead to meet friends and enjoy the time. For me, I am defintely the former type and I am somehow a serious case finding difficulties to start an attachment to ordinary friends. The meeting I attended yesterday morning, my boss gave us a lecture(he thought he was) saying that we should control email and shouldn't let email overule us. Well, I defintely deny his statement to be applied on me while I think I am quite good a controller of email (because for those I don't want to handle, I can keep it unopen for months!). But somehow, he got his ground in a larger sense that we are almost controlled by the digital media, mostly our computer and the digital channels. What would it be in the future? Is it a crisis for the next generation? Should we relate this phenomenon with the suicide cases happened among the youngster? Should we start to think about a healthy use of digital media and strengthen the human relationship in this society? It is really something we shouldn't merely think about it.
Thanks Ester for bringing me a delightful day every morning. It is a warm feeling to share what you encounter in the day and your writing gives me back the memory of the school days. I think we are both similar kind of simple minded people and I think I am easy to be contented as you! I hope you

won't mind my posting the following gif from your blog (from
ester's blog) :
When I first read this piece of information, I think about my favourite PC game : 'The Sims'. The latest 3D game featuring life planning and enjoyment has life objectives and fulfilment to achieve. For me, I think I am quite happy as usually I got about half of the list done every day.
But when a person grows older, the standard of each item in the list increases and the conditions to make each item fulfilled would be harder and harder. I am happy that my own list is still easy to achieve !
My schedule :
Decemeber week 2 - Taiwan
week 5 - Macau
January week 2 - Shanghai
Looking forward to the Lunar new year holiday!!
