it's really about time

i've decided against heading down to terminal 3 tmr morning. partly cuz it's a long ride after that, partly cuz i don't want to disturb the still waters again,

partly cuz thoughts have started swirling round my head again, and i think i've seen enough of my qingdao-bound mates for now. strangely. as i write this now i know i'm going to be writing this down for a while tonight.

having talked a bit with sl and pm i now gain a better understanding about the extreme sacrifice needed for something as monumental as the olympics. having talked with ying hao i now understand some of the considerations of going to sydney. at least i know one person heading in that direction.

for a while i've been very happy leading a simple life and just following where the days and months have led me. when i say happy, i mean it. it's really paid off, i mean what more could i wish for?

but 8 months have breezed past and i do have to start preparing for the years ahead.

maybe i need a bit more 'drive'. yea that must be it. maybe i need a license or two.

then again. why so serious?

heath ledger was phenomenal, but i'm not so wow-ed by the rest of the movie. one of my favourite parts was when the prisoner on the second ship said 'i'm gonna do what you should have done a long time ago.' and throws the detonator out the side. and when the joker was frustrated by the delay in the hospital blast. sick.

this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
