It's been two weeks since my final paper, and only one blog posting. How disappointing. Partly, it has been due to the data entry thingy, but mainly it just has been me not getting into the mood to blog. It has been said, "If one has talent and energy, one can be a king". I do not know if I have any talent worth the name, but it is certain that I could do with more energy and enthusiasm.

Indeed I had more when I was younger - when I was ten or eleven, I had the patience to write my own (sadly lost) gamebooks, covering hundreds of exercise book pages. But now I can hardly find it within myself to bring my long-delayed webgame to completion. How many years has passed since I planned it? Six? Seven? The days pass more quickly than I remember, and so many of those hours have simply been frittered away, even in those critical examination periods; Somewhere along the way I have lost the will to excel above all others, being content to understand the overarching ideas but not delve into the details, nor really practice to ace the papers - if I feel i have a decent chance of making an A, that was sufficient.

In truth, I have no right to make myself so small. I am not big enough. Where then can I recover that killer edge? Not when my heart remains weighed down, surely, though those be chains of my own making, a sweet sorrow borne both helplessly and willingly. No night has passed where I remained unaware of it, and my only answer thus far has been blind tenacity - if I am nothing, at least I can be stubborn, and each kind of stubborness has its own champions; If I tire when I run, I will have to walk, and indeed in that area I leave much to be desired - but when I walk I do not stop. It could be a road without an end, but only those who can be afraid may be called brave. Courage, man! Either that, or a cowardly dog.

But enough of this unhappy stuff. The stint at the LAN shop office was pretty enjoyable, even if the attempt at earning extra bucks never came to pass:

This period also spawned a masterpiece of contemporary art:


Unnamed (Slavedriver No. 1) by Wenhoo

No doubt it will someday fetch a pretty price, given modern tastes; In my estimation, it is comparable to Mark Rothko's celebrated White Center (Yellow, Pink & Lavender), which Rockefeller recently sold for over US$72 million:


Modest indication of future value

My stomach didn't lose out either - twm drove us to Niqqi's the Cheese Prata Shop one of those days, where I tried my first Milo Dinosaur (which appeared thick enough, contrary to this source - but I'll have to sample others to be sure). To round off a job well done, smk the boss treated us to Canadian 2 For 1 pizza on the last day - Hawaiian Classic, Tandoori Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken and BBQ Chicken. Been quite some time since I last ate pizza. Delicious.

The management apologizes unreservedly for the unfortunate error in mislabelling "twm M-M-MONSTER KILL!" as "Slavedriver No. 1". Precautions have been taken to ensure that such an event will never come to pass again. We thank c.wenhoo for his timely feedback.
