Distractions

To light up a few matches in my earlier purported darkness, here are a few delights in my otherwise boring life.

One. I recently realized, to my amazement, that i'm not overly critical afterall. I have always been bothered by my own judgmental tendency, which most of the times translates simply into sheer meanness. From the moment i meet a person, to even years after parting. But lately i've recognized even greater criticality from other people around me, people who at first sight seem rather kind and forgiving. This recognition may be disturbing to some, but to me it's kinda of a relief.

Two. I have successfully concocted a tasty tiramisu recipe, after the third trial (with my sister's expert whipping, of course). Next, i shall try my hand on some traditional vietnamese cuisines, with the exotic herbs i just bought.

Three. I can think about my coming fly-over interviews as a chinese new year vacation. And i can start shopping for some sassy winter clothes.

And last. I can always drown my misery in a heap of movies and tv series dvd at home.
