雨天

山雨欲来风满楼。

Ithaca 的天空可说是开了个大洞。豆大的雨点排山倒海地撒落大地。这个雷电交加，风卷残云的一幕，让我感受到大自然无穷的，神秘的力量。清爽舒畅的气息，更然我思念新加坡的热带风情。

也许雨一停，我就能再见到你？
也许雨该一直下不停。

细水长流

Cornell 的毕业典礼，突然让我想起梁文福的《细水长流》。

问一声我的朋友，何时再为我吹奏？

看到大家的兴奋和喜悦，我自己也陶醉在其中。情不自禁地憧憬我自己毕业的情景。但喜悦当中，也含着一丝的惆怅与伤感。

今天走上台阶的朋友，是否都成为我的生命过客？今日离别，何日再见？我深深地祝福你们，也盼望我们能够青山不改，绿水长流。

The Technosexual...?!

So, after the Metrosexual, Ubersexual, Jetrosexual, we now have... the Technosexual. The initial description sounds like something I may be able to aspire to: up to speed with the latest gadgets, plugged in through your Blackberry, hang out in virtual communities, shop online and rely on blogs and forums for news.

But here's a description of the outfit that this "Technosexual" lady is wearing:

"Patent bustier dress, $299, and matching gloves, $79, both by Xotic from Tangs Orchard Level 2; leather corset, $3,199, from Jean Paul Gaultier, 01-13 Paragon; Samsung MP3 player YP-K5, $378, for 4GB and $278 for 2GB, available from electronic retail stores"

$3,199?!

It is the same for all the other sexuals - humongous spending power. Seems like you need to be rich to be sexy, huh... being sexy is now an exclusive club these days. Haiz...

Public beauty or private beauty

Yue asked me if I prefer a girlfriend who is pretty in the day but ugly at night, or ugly in the day but pretty at night. Basically, is it better to be beautiful in public or in private? First of all, I wonder why she can't be beautiful both in public and private! Incidentally, Lee, Wei, Jong all chose to have public beauty. But I think public beauty is superficial - it is for showing off. A girl who's beautiful in private has true beauty, in my humble opinion.

Wei seems surprised that I care about personality. And why not? But then, perhaps this is the age when personality is secondary to beauty.
