Thursday Night

 after class

piano is hard. teacher "gave up" on the new song. selected yet another piece for her to learn.

not sure how we're gonna pull this off. so not serious, so lazy and so embarrassing, both of us.

 she asks me to name one favourite thing.

i ponder for a while.

she gives me an example. she says, for an example, her favourite thing would be 'books'. she says she loves to read, and sometimes she feels like she's in book-heaven, especially when she's at the library.

oh wow. that's wonderful. i am so happy to learn of this.

i said my favourite thing would be the beach. i enjoy the sun, the water and the sand. i said the best thing is to fall asleep while lazing on the beach. it only happened to me once and i wished i could do it again.

 dark chocolate ice cream, salted egg gravy... what a combo.

 i never liked to use a set of techniques to build rapport with people. whatever for.

i can't get over this. it feels manipulative and wrong. one should be able to command his/her conduct by being oneself. unless it's for business, where you need to negotiate and to protect business interests; other than that i feel that everything we do must come from the heart or if there's lack of heart then from that would be the character. 

 look at the moon, it was very bright. brighter than the street lamps.
my data plan still had room, so we catch a few more mons.

we came home to a "cross" on our front door.
i was surprised.

Colin added a face and feet to the cross which Kiki had sketched earlier.
turned out, it was the layout of a cube. she was gonna fold the layout and make a cube.

 skittles colouring melted with water. she drank the coloured syrup and was happy.
her reward for a day's work.

good night.
