About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trans siberian train (DONE!) + Deutschlernen + Learn Japanese + want to learn to play the drum

ABOUT ME

I'm curious and I'd like to see the world, yet my restless heart n the instability of life makes me both excited and anxious.
I always look out to hunt for delicious scenes, and then I'd make a short film in my mind when I discover sth delicious.
I think a lot, and I never stop thinking.

I like quite cozy chill-out as well as messy mosh pits. I play the piano n crunch numbers.
I am an introvert but that doesn't mean I'm shy. I can talk non-stop when topic interests me.

PHILOSOPHY

I had an epiphany up here. My pursuit of the arts was a pursuit of the perfect. By pursuing I mean create. But I cannot create perfection, no one can. No human can. We may try, but it is impossible. Whatever man creates, there is always room for improvement. There are solutions, upgrades, and progress and critiques. Nature does not need to solve anything, or upgrade its equipment, be concerned with progress, or have peers judging its acceptability and quality. It just is. It’s done. Its perfect. Sure life changes and evolves, and mountains collapse and rise, but there is order and purpose to this. Mankind has no order or purpose. We just build arbitrary superficial systems to impose social hierarchies that limit the division of resources to a set number of humans in a sickening and outdated tribal mentality. We claim superiority over non-humans, but we are the same as wolves or gorillas, but with guns and ipods.--From my friend, photographer, Mathomas

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being alive.

My friend in Cologne, a theater actor born in an artsy family, showed me the place his parents lived in... and it's a wohnwagen, well, two. There's no flowing water nor electricity, they get up and go to bed with the sun. Ummm, they use candles. And it's actually in the middle of the city, right next to the Rathaus von Koln. Thought I fell asleep with some guitar music.
Cycled to Suzhou from SH, n cycled back
Rambled and did rock-climbing in SaiGong in HK
Scuba diving
Made some short films
Did some stage acting
Walked a lot, like, A LOT. And I can read/text sms/eat/talk/snap a shot and look around while walking
Have wonderful friends from all over the world
Love
