Trees








I went to Richmond Park today. Having woken up early, i could not resist going outside and enjoy Wonderful Autumn weather. At first, I planned to go to London, to visit Brick Lane, the famous place for its vintages and lively atmosphere, but as I was heading to the station, fallen leaves somehow allured me to Richmond Park. I havent yet enjoyed the fall season yet and cloudless weather and dazzling sunshine further induced me.
My expectation was right. The park look astonishing with warmly coloured trees, simply representing how beautiful and rich the autumn is. i had never walked Richmond park before, eventhough I frequenlty rode bike along the roads; the nature of the park attracts many bikers around London area which included me:D. Feeling breeze and charming views make it perfect for riding. Anyway, I never knew trees were full of individualistic. Each were different and had its own identities. Somewere old&young, dark& light or thin &thick. Like humans, the older they are, the more wisdom they displayed, the younger they are, the more vulnerable they looked.

Untitiled

This is my first time I cooked in my life! Eventhought this was extra extra simple work, I grabbed the feeling of satisfication. I never thought that i would ever cook in my life. However, getting close to university life, there was a pressure from my parents that i should now learn to make my own food. So, i chose this recipe as this looked easy and i love aubergein.



My cousion is staying at my house for about 5 weeks. She is very very cute and I absoultely love her. She is chariming and does so many baby things which keep remind me of my own childhood. She doesnt stop laughing and this makes home so lively:D. I hope she would stay at home longer

Siddartha by Hermann Hesse



I just finised reading 'Siddartha'. Hermann Hesse is one of my favourite because of his insights into various religions and his depictions and ideas are rather easier to understand than other books. Out of all this was my best, maybe because of my family background: my parents are all buddhists and i frequently visited shrines when i was young. Eventhough i regard myself as atheist( i dont believe in any god), my mind is dominatly occupied with buddhism. I love , not those non-sense 'cycle of suffering and rebirth', but the idea of meditations, the cultivation of mindfulness and wisdom. These practices makes me calm and peaceful. After having got rid of worries and anxieties, i feel happy and satisfied.

"Siddhartha does not, in the end, learn true wisdom from any teacher, but from a river that roars in a funny way and from a kindly old fool who always smiles and is secretly a saint" At the end, what really inspired me was the river and the ferryman. The ferryman, Vasudeva, is a kind of man that I want to be: calm, benevolent, generous, the mind to learn and his ability to criticize when neccesary.

Atlas Sound 'Logos'

I dont know Deerhunter. I dont know Bradford Cox. I dont even know how this album came to myhand but what a masterpiece this album is.
Melancholic melodies flow and captures 'sort of sad, exhausted, and fragile emotional state'

I dont know how to start

Starting something has always been difficult for me. Until now, i've always been depedning on my parents and even this blog is such a big start and Im not accustomed to it.

My primary plan for this blog is that i am going to mainly focus on my life: thoughts, imaginations and experience. Whatever that come across on my mind:
music, books, fashion, sciences, news, i will try to put them on here. Eventhough i am not sure how much effort I am intending to use, i am now keen on the idea that i finally have a matter to communicate with the world because until now, i was alone and had nobody to discuss with.
