A sudden realization hit me this evening. I better write this down before I forget it..
I realized my ultimate dream career would be a journalist for something casual, like the 24 Hours newspaper. My current job has made me fall in love with words even more, but I know I lack the professionalism in putting them together eloquently.
I have always loved reading and writing from a young age, and still do. I remember I used to make dozens of little "books" in elementary school and fill them up with words as I dreamed of being an author when I grew up.
Now, I do not want to write books. I just want to write for a living. With my current editing experience, I wonder what kind of future I can go after. If I become rich, I might go for a journalism degree and learn to write better.
My job has two sides: the financial side and the language side. I certainly am more interested in the language side, especially because English is such a whimsical, fun language to play around with, at the same time being so expressive about emotions and feelings. Financial stuff? Not for me.
I find it almost repulsive to study how people are manipulating something that does not actually exist -- MONEY. People try so hard to earn more and more, but ultimately it's a never-ending ceiling they are trying to reach. Why not just sit back and watch the world go by, spending a little more time thinking about just, thoughts?
We live in a materialistic world. I have said this numerous times, I really do not need money to be happy. Just enough to live by, and derive happiness from simple things like viewing breathtaking scenery or feeling the ocean breeze by the beach.
Someday, I'd like to follow the journalist career path. :)

Live life, spend money
A coworker always talks nonsense and makes useless remarks, but one of his nonsensical statements actually got me thinking and writing this post.
He always asks, "So Nikki, you make all this money; where are you going to find the time to spend it?" I always give him a useless answer or just ignore and continue with my work, but now that I give it more than 5 seconds of thought, it is a really important answer to ponder about.
True, I make enough money to pay rent, buy groceries, pay bills.. Basically, enough to survive. More than enough, I'll say.. I put away almost half of every paycheque and it's just sitting in the bank account. At some point in time, I'll probably have to give a portion to it to my parents (they've been asking me! Can you believe that?!), but I'm still hoping to save up for our future in Canada.
Living standards are high in Vancouver, one of the most livable cities in the world (fell from No. 1 spot already, but still No. 1 in my heart).. It certainly is important to save up for a house, probably a car, and most importantly, to start a family. I may still feel young but it's about time to start planning (or at least giving it a thought) about these things.
But contradicting my own previous statement, it is also important to know when to spend my hard-earned money. As they saying goes, "If tomorrow never comes.." What are you going to do if it was the end of the world and you don't even have a chance to enjoy life and reward yourself?
I used to be very tight with my money, never eating out unless I am hanging out with friends, deter myself from buying pointless things, etc.. But the boyfriend has encouraged me to spend more on the things that I like to make myself happy. I used to think that was bad news for my bank account, because money would hypothetically flow out faster than it flows in.
But now, he's the one keeping a vigil eye on his bank account because he put away some savings.. That kind of makes two of us who are saving our money. Now I'm more used to spending, it's kind of strange to be holding back again. I realized the difficult task of spending to make yourself happy and yet keep track of what you are spending and saving.
These days we don't eat out as much because school has started and he's so busy! That also means less activities and date nights, but we did so much in summer it's time for a break!
This might have gone a little sidetracked, but I realize that as I keep earning money, I should also keep spending to reward myself once in a while, at the same time put away enough for our future.. Spending money is not a rational action, so you have to make it justifiable most of the time and keep irrational spending to a minimum.
I'm glad that I still do not wish for branded clothes/bags/accessories.. Back to the topic, I think I value my free time more now that I am so swamped with work days.. I spend all these time working, so I should also find free time to enjoy myself, instead of squirreling away all this money. Work is important, but knowing when to spend your money is more important.

Advice on Cooking
My style of cooking; it's a very strange combination of skill and laziness.
I call it "skill" because I have watched tons of cooking shows during my 2 years of living at Gage in UBC, where I was blessed with a TV in our living room. Sad to say, now I don't have a TV and my only complaint is I cannot watch the Food Network anymore~~ Even though I'm working during the hours that my favourite shows are on, I would still like to have a TV.
And I have picked up a lot of tips from watching all these cooking hosts. Like what are the "standard" seasonings for different kinds of cuisines, important theories, what to put together and what NOT to put together, so much more! I could write an entire book on what I've learnt just by watching...
And laziness? That's pretty self-explanatory. Or you could also define it as I-am-so-cheap-I-refuse-to-get-the-expensive-ingredients-like-the-pros-do. I pretty much use whatever I have on hand, and whatever I have on hand is what I "happen" to pick up at the supermarket for that week. There are rare times where I would specially buy specific items for whatever I am making though, depends entirely on my mood.
With this combination of knowledge and non-specificity, I sometimes come up with random recipes. No actually, make that ALL THE TIME. Especially my "Chinese" cooking are the simplest things I usually cook. My usual is a tiny portion of meat, either ground or in small pieces, with a range of 2-5 types of vegetables cut up. First I fry the meat, and then toss in the vegetables. The meat may or may not be pre-marinated, but I have learned to "season every layer of the dish", but I usually put so little seasoning it doesn't really taste very strong anyway. I think this is a healthy diet, especially when served with rice. My meat-to-vegetables ratio is usually 1:3, and I'm proud of that.
When I encounter certain things I feel like baking or trying out, I hunt for the recipe on ever-trusty Google, and then I modify it to whatever I have in my fridge. Except you can't really mess with the chemistry of baking, so I don't alter proportions and try to follow baking measurements to a T. I'm a lot better now, at least my landlord has measuring cups and spoons which I can use, which I never really used in the past. The actual baking time and temperature and oven will definitely not make my baking turn out perfectly, but I have learned to live with such imperfection.
Today, I made hummus. The traditional recipe calls for chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, sesame paste and some spices. I have only the first 2 on the list. Well, I guess I can make do, since chickpeas is the key ingredient in this. I was hesitant to chop up garlic at first (because I was oh-so-lazy) but finally gave in because according to my landlady, "hummus is not hummus without garlic!"
So I blended the chickpeas and garlic together with only a little of the liquid from the can (with my lovely $7 mini food processor), and then added sesame seeds (to replace the sesame paste), and --- oh, that's about it. I added salt and black pepper, and I also decided to be brave and add curry powder. I did not add olive oil because seriously, I don't see the need for it (and I didn't want to scrub a greasy food processor). The curry powder turned out to be a great choice, and after I spooned everything into a container, I swirled in a couple drops of sesame oil to enhance the aroma.
And boy, did that taste good! So, I conclude that you really don't need all the classic ingredients to make a good hummus. And really, that applies to pretty much everything that is not baking.. I suppose if you are really professional then you can fiddle around, but I'm not there yet..
My advice when it comes to cooking: Be adventurous, be flexible, and most importantly, be LAZY! :) Happy cooking everyone!

One of our weird conversations
*after sharing a picture of our first meal cooked together*
N: Good memories~~
J: Yea, it makes me scared sometimes.. @_@
N: Why? Scared in what way?
J: I'm scared that if one event didn't happen, then nothing would be the way they are now. I wish there won't be a time machine in the future, so nobody messes with it.
N: That's okay, we control our future. Let's just hope nobody invents a time machine in our lifetime.
J: It's still theoretically impossible..
N: Good, they should just continue inventing stupid things, like the iPad.
ROFL

Confidence for Tomorrow
I think I wanted to talk about this awhile ago, maybe for about a week already, but when I wanted to write here I forgot what I was supposed to write about, and when I remembered, I was too busy with schoolwork.
Now that I have time, here it goes:
In my sociolinguistics class on Monday, we were watching a video where Daniel Everett was speaking about the Pirahã people. I had never heard of them but that's not the main point of this entry. It was certainly a very interesting video but something he said at the end struck me.
He quoted a line from the Bible which I found out was from Matthews 6:34 - "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
He phrased it in a very sensible way and what I got from it was:
It is true. Why do we worry so much about the future when we don't even spend time thinking about what we should be doing today to make a better tomorrow?
Whether we are talking about saving the Earth or referring to our daily lives, be it as simple as finishing a task today or as complex as planning our career lives ahead of us, TODAY is what matters. If you don't concentrate on doing what you should focus on right this moment, how can you be sure that things later on will turn out the way you want them to?
It is the way he says "long-term thinking with confidence" was what really got me. I am not a person with much self-confidence, so this was really a booster to my short-term thinking, giving me more positive support that we should really live life to the fullest and treasure everything we have. I think my blog is really sounding repetitive with all these sentences in ever other post, but I'm seeing life in a whole new perspective from what I did a few years ago.
People don't change, life does. It's the people around us who makes us who we are, and we don't change by ourselves. We change BECAUSE life brings us so many different things that make us stronger or weaker, and it is up to us to adapt to that, to stand ourselves up or be defeated.
I don't know where I'm going with this point, but I definitely have more thoughts on it. I'm sure many people these days are too wrapped up in our hectic society to spare some time to give these things a thought. If you don't agree with me, it's entirely up to you. It's just my two cents worth, so have a thought yourself and please share them with me!

Happiness
It's not actually that I don't think much. I do think a lot sometimes, and most of the time I'm just too afraid to let my thoughts run wild.
What matters most is the present, the gift of today. We should embrace every day, rain or shine, with open arms and an open heart.
Ask yourself just one thing: are you happy TODAY?

Think think think...
It's a very interesting natural phenomena. I extend this on my roommate's theory: "When we have labels, we have expectations."
This is very true, especially when we are talking about people. I find myself doing that sometimes.. Maybe that's why things didn't work out a few years ago... And I knew that's why.. And so..
During these last few years, I have been trying to live by having no expectations, so that I won't be faced with disappointments. Sometimes it works, but maybe these days it is slipping away.
How about the quote about shooting for the moon? It says if you miss, you'll still land among the stars... That's making a goal, just a fine line away from having expectations... A goal is what motivates you to push yourself..
And to add another variable to the equation, how about wishes? You wish for something, which you want to happen. But is it going to come true? Like making a birthday wish, or wishing on a star... There's no certainty nor control over what will happen... What about hopes? You hope for something, like good weather, but it is unlikely that you can do anything about it...
So what exactly marks the minor differences among hopes, wishes, goals and expectations??? How do you know that you are making a goal and not setting expectations? I really want to know the answer...

Some thoughts running through my mind...
I have just realized..
It's not about believing or not, it's about choosing what to believe.
I realized something has changed. It's no longer what it used to be. Is that a good thing? Maybe things are changing; life is changing us.
I don't know.

♥ Vancouver ♥
Today is just another reason to LOVE♥ LOVE♥ LOVE♥ Vancouver..
Gorgeous sunny day, perfect weather. All bundled up nice and warm, walking along the stretch of Point Grey, alternating between looking out to the shores of West Vancouver, Stanley Park, Downtown, and looking at houses on the beach front...
Walked all the way from Macdonald Street, to Jericho Beach.. Very good walk, not even that cold. It was great to just have some fresh air, have some time alone, away from all the bustle.. Clear the mind, forget all thoughts, just taking in the cool winter air in the sunshine..
Love the clear blue skies, the clear waters, the panoramic view of the city.. The perfect reason to love this city more than I ever did..
The only thing missing? That someone special...

LIFE IS LEARNING
Sometimes, you don't learn things in school. You learn them from LIFE.
I know I have learnt a lot, especially this term. Yes, I did learn about Old English and the Canadian tax system over the course of this term in school, but I have picked up even more lessons from life in these short 3 months.
I have learned different approaches to different things. That different cultures take matters differently.. There is no right or wrong way of doing it; it's just what you personally prefer.
I have learned that things happen so quickly before our eyes that when we realize it, it has already taken so many twists and turns that it's going to be impossible to turn back and retrace the steps. Life is irreversible; we just gotta keep moving ahead as much as we want to go back and re-do what went wrong.
I have learned that we must treasure whatever we have and not push it aside until when we need it, it's gone. No matter how significant or insignificant something may seem, even the tiniest paper cuts on your hands are there for a reason. Everything is there because it just happens that way. We should take everything in our stride, and face it. Everything is there because it's important. We must not overlook the small things when we are looking at bigger issues at hand.
I have learned that people in our lives are to be loved, to be cherished, to be kept close to our hearts. One little action is enough to push them over the edge and into the vast ocean where we may never find them again.
I have learned never to let emotions take over your mind. When the mind is frazzled, it tends to do irrational things which will lead to the departure of the other important things around us.. A calm mind will lead to rational actions..
Yet most of all, surprisingly in contradiction to what I have said above, I have learned that sometimes we should not hold back too much. Sometimes we just need to let things flow naturally and not build artificial barriers against what we think we are afraid of. Do not build up walls against emotions. Leave a doorway for them to pass, and nature will take its course.
And that will conclude my lessons from these last months of 2009. And yes, appropriately, the night before my metaphor class's final exam, I will end with a metaphor: LIFE IS A LEARNING PROCESS. You never stop learning. Just keep that in mind; there is so much out there that life has to teach us.

Confused
Is it looking like 2 parallel lines now?
//
Or is it 3?
///
It can be either one.
As in, this situation could be parallel to that situation.
Or three entities could all be on a parallel path.
How can one take a U-turn?

Heavy rain
I like it when it rains heavily... More atmosphere... When the rain falls lightly, it feels like it's trying so hard to rain but it's not scucceeding.. Almost raining like a wuss, I'll say.
When it pours, the sound of the rain drowns out your thoughts, giving your mind a break momentarily... The sound of the water hitting your umbrella calms you down, just like the ocean..
Being under an umbrella in the heavy rain also makes me feel very fortunate.. Fortunate enough to have shelter over my head... That I have an umbrella to keep me dry.. Also makes me feel that my umbrella is very useful, when the heavy rain soaks it till it drips.. The light rain doesn't give the umbrella this sense of satisfaction...
Even without an umbrella, light drizzles make you wet and cold but you are unlikely to do anything but let your clothes dry by themselves. With a good downpour, it soaks into your clothes right down to your insides and you will HAVE to take a shower, which you then change into warm clean clothes which always makes one feel warm and fuzzy.
If you are staying inside.. You see the rain hitting the window while you are safe and dry inside.. It makes you want to snuggle up with someone.. Sit by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate...
Rain is annoying, but a good heavy downpour can do wonders for your body and soul every once in a while. Especially with all this rain we get in Vancouver, it's about time we start thinking more positively about what nature is giving us...

再见亦是朋友???
I don't think so.
I always hope I have moved on, but sometimes the bottom of my heart pushes me reminders every now and then.
It's been three years.
Maybe you have moved on.
I always think you haven't, which is why friends is not an option in our case.
I always wonder whether if it could work out in the long-run. My answers waver between yes and no, but always land on the latter.
Have always dreamed about our future together. But that has gone up in the flames, along with the happiness we had.
All I have now are memories to be cherished.
Goodbye, again.
Happy three years anniversary. What if this never happened three years ago? Would things have changed for the better?
Questions that will never be answered.
I don't think so.

Happy three years anniversary. What if this never happened three years ago? Would things have changed for the better?
Questions that will never be answered.
