A blue day turned colourful

Dealing with tons of data in the morning, I went on to yell "PK" for no less than 100 times, both inwardly and outwardly.. Com'on, life shouldn't be like that.. That's not what I live for..

But then, you get sighs of relief on finishing the plots, and that makes one happy the rest of the day.. so life is really an alternation of anger and happiness..

=====

losing doesn't make me feel bad.. and this is especially true if I've got somebody lose with me together.. haha.. the very idea of having a dear friend as my partner can already make myself extremely happy..

=====

I'm energized by the match and the meal.. and I go on to read a book called "The Brain that Changes itself".. I am starting to respect psychology after all.. although I think it shouldn't be known as 心理學.. The better word is brain science.. heart just pumps.. it should be known as 腦理.. or 老李..

I jot down several quotes:

"I live in a fog, and the world is no more solid than cotton candy."
"I was killed March 2, 1943, but because of some vital power of my organism, I miraculously remained alive."
"I'll fight on, to live, not merely exist."

by a bunch of people who once regard themselves as psychos..

=====

There are a lot of drama going on in the world.. The cases look rare in percentage, but large in number.. I really feel like one doesn't have to invent stories..

=====

Once again, the book tell me that rote memorization and recitation are good for the development of the brain.. It's a wonderful experience too.. Those are moments you cherish..

And thanks those writers to ignite my forgotten interest in reading novels and poetry (I'm sure I'll come to it next year)..

=====

After reading two cases in the Psychology book (285 pages, 11 cases), I switched to Frank McCourt again, on the MTR.. The first book he wrote (and the last one I read of the series) is his most wonderful book.. I am so happy to have it.. I will give it a 4-star (maximum) rating in Anobii.. I really wouldn't mind having a few more copies.. how crazy I am!!

In the next few months, other than writing the thesis, I will try to learn his tounge.. I just love it.. and shouting in the dark on the way home tonight, I found out that my accent was changed (I use passive voice because I did it unconsciously) with hours of listening..

It doesn't reached the point of idolism yet, but he has already reached the status of personal hero in 4 month's time.. Well, one can have a lot of heroes, but just a couple of idols..

And the way I am spending big money (& time) on his audiobooks suggest otherwise..

But the most important thing is, I'm enjoying life, and I'm learning interesting stuff, that I can use to motivate myself the rest of my life..

I really admire you that You can absorb into so many different kinds of books!! I "claim" that I enjoy psychology but I have much less ideas compared to you. you are intelligent!!!

oh don't say so, you for sure got more ideas in psychology than I do.. I just wanna know how our brain works..

before, I regard psychology as something either very mysterious or commonplace, but my bias goes off once I know that it is now a full-fledged science..
