1 down, 549,006 to go


I usually don't take breakfast as by the time I wake up it is already close to lunch time.
But I want to make breakfast as one of the three meals I have each day, in replacement of supper.
If I need to let it happen, I will have to wake up early each day, so after eating breakfast there is still a few hours more for my stomach to digest that, before eating lunch.

That also means I would have lesser sleep, maybe I will shorten the time for sleeping to 6hrs instead.
Somehow I believe if I am given enough time I will make myself be adapted to the 6hrs sleep routine.
Maybe I should give it a try. If fail at least I will know what is the minimum amount of sleep I need to have.

I hear taking breakfast is very important, I'm starting to believe this theory as I have been given a few examples from myself.
During those days that I took my breakfast, the rest of the day I would feel very energetic, that was very convincing to me, as I, myself actually saw the result.

I found a website that is full of English learning materials, I could use some of the resources there.
The reason I've been searching for website like this is because sometimes the English text book's limited explanations couldn't satisfy my needs, so I got no choice but to resort to free internet information.
Although I still cannot speak and write English fluently without pausing here and there, I think my English understanding level has somewhat achieved what I've been striving for, so I guess it's about time for me to move onto next subject I wanna learn more about; maybe science or maths.

I'm still feeling kinda tired after from having to sleep at 3 am for the pass 3 nights, I hope the tiredness will fade away after tonight's sleep.

A Day Without Melodies



The time is now 1:29 and I'm very quiet. I should be usually asleep at this hour, but today's Saturday which is the day I have to work until 3:00. On Thursday, Fridays and Saturday, which is today, this week, I've been eating in the 2 hours before I sleep, I clearly knew that this is bad for my diet, as I've been trying to throw some weights away, but I just couldn't control.
Maybe I haven't had enough sleep for the pass few days too, either due to my work or me having to spend time on friends, which could also be the possibility cause of my craving for supper.
Now I figure out that in order to keep my appetite in check I need to let myself to have enough sleep, so then I'll be able to concentrate on fighting my desires for food.

Talking about food, yesterday I was brought to an eating house by my friend who stays near it as we decided to settle our dinner there.
When I was still struggling on what to eat while wondering around in the open air spacious place, my friend introduced me a stall that fish ball noodle is considered its signboard, I chose to have a bowl of fish ball noodle from the stall run by a couple of what seemed like to have already married for at least 30 years.

Thanks whoever above for having to make me trusted my friend, since the choice I made didn't fail me. The fish ball noodle I had was good, almost too good I would say, I will skip the rest and say just this: the home made fish balls were good, almost too good I would say.
The fish ball noodle I had at the place near my friend's place was the best fish ball noodle I've ever had in my whole damn life. I can't imagine fish ball noodle from any other stalls could surpass that.

I'm starting to feel the tiredness from my long hour work today, 40 mins more and I'm heading home.
I hope I will be in deep sleep when I lie down on my bed, so I'm listening to some calming and peaceful music, also in the mean time hypnotizing myself.
By the way if you are curious on what song I'm listening to that has the hypnotizing effect, the song title is It's already gone whose original singer is Kelly Clarkson, but I'm listening a different version of it, which is sung by Princess, a Filipino songtress, who is told that she can't have a single day without music.
I hope person who has this belief will be getting abundant, because I think that is really cool.

Two Riffraffs five pence,some rags and a dream


I'm feeling kinda energetic even though I haven't had enough sleep yesterday, I only slept for slightly more than 6 hours which is 1 hour less than my usual sleep time.
I'm looking forward to playing Blackshot later after my work with my friends and clan mates, to whom I'm surprised that they come my workplace on Wednesday.
Wednesday is special to me because it is my only day to work in the morning, which also means I'll be free at night.

I'm making my clan an invitation only clan, meaning only people who are invited can join the clan, no application will be entertained by us.
However I'm going to make a sub clan for it, the sub clan allows any one to join as long as you meet the requirement for it.
I'm going to make it soon, real soon; I'm planning it now.

I skipped my lunch today, as I want to let my stomach and digest system to rest every once in a while, and so I made a day in a week as my lunch-free day.
On that day I'll only eat breakfast and dinner and let my organs to rest in the that particular day afternoon.

My English learning has started to get tricky as it is in the stage where I have to memorize quite a number of grammar rules.
I don't mind doing that, but if I don't have the chance to utilize the rules, after awhile I'll not be able to remember them.
So I'm forcing myself to write an English paragraph and read articles and comics in English to let myself have more contacts with English grammar rules everyday.
I am striving to be fluent in English, no lies here.

I still don't have any idea how I'm going to settle my dinner later, I guess I will go with the majority's decisions.

When I went to to toilet a while back, I saw a clear blue sky and some clouds that looked like marshmallows, that kind of view will always my mood better, somehow.

I suppose that is all for today's paragraph, see you soon.

敦煌城上的一缕青烟


I woke up at 630 am today when I had only slept for 4 hours before that.
I had been starving since yesterday midnight because I hadn't eaten anything since my dinner at 700 pm yesterday.

I have my reason starving for the whole night, because I decided to eat in the morning when I woke up at 930 pm instead.

However, half way through my sleep , I was feeling too hungry that resulting me waking up.
I could stand the hunger if I were in my dream, but staying awake while feeling hungry really couldn't really put me back into sleep anymore.
So I made a decision to go to the coffeeshop downstairs and grabbed myself some food.
I picked the usual coconut rice food stall as my food source, I ordered some coconut rice,a little of stir fried cabbages( taste sweet), a piece of luncheon meat(unhealthy but always the popular one), and additionally, a Hash Browns.
After eating my break fast, as I didn't want to head to back right after that, I started doing my homework.
My brain worked so well in the morning especially after a sumptuous breakfast, that I found the homework to be so easy to do.
After which, I headed to my bed at roughly 930 am for a slightly more than two hours sleep until 12 pm, and I woke up with the excitement for another meal- lunch.
I ate it at home, I also packed some of the left over dishes to work.
Finally, I bought a fresh apple to work too as I had finished my apple stocks yesterday.

Although I am going to work in the morning tomorrow, I still look forward to going a friend's house later after my work. Even though I have no idea what we will be doing when I got to his house.
Probably some chit chats and computer gaming sessions.
Not to forget some tit bits and a couple bottles of beer too.



Oh yeah,recently I have been thinking: maybe Taiwan is "the" place for me in my life.

But I do want to wish him all the best for the upcoming years ahead, I also hope he can keep getting better and better being a man.
Happy birthday!

Back to the topic of computer, I wish I can also made myself a computer, that can provide faster internet speed than my presently owned netbook, and also allows me to play my favorite games whenever I want.
