Ended Long Vacation 1

I ended my long vacation 1 in January 2008. It was a good break. Wander when my next one will be - long vacation 2.

The last 6 months have been surreal. Met many people who are part of my life at one point of my life. It's such a small small world. What goes round often come around one day...

Celebrated my 29th birthday. Next year will be the big '3' - a new phrase in life begins. Everything will be a clean slate again. It's time to look forward to other things in life - there will be many first times... And I look forward to them....

Quixotic

Learnt a new word last saturday (081207).

Quixotic -
Adj: Romantic to the point of occasional impracticality.

Quixotic,Inc - the name of the stall next to ours at the LIME Flea market. Selling charms. Really charming ones.

Facebook

Was invited to join Facebook recently. Think I'm the first mover amongst my close friends. Usually the last to pick up the new techie stuff :P When blog was the fad, I told my friend that i don't have the 'xian qin' to blog. She was quite upset with me. Cos' it makes her and fellow bloggers sound bad (like they got nothing better to do). Now that I am catching on, I wander if this shows my current state of mind.

Like Friendster, Facebook allows you to be connected to people. Friends. Friends of friends. Friends of friends of friends. Friends of friends of friends of friends. Click on any profile and you may be able to see another side of the friends. Was reading an article recently about how this may make people appear like e-stalker as they prowl through the friends' facebook.

 

It is kind of ironic, I think. We probably have the number of the friends in the handphone. Otherwise, we could have easily obtain them. The friends are but a call away. But we chose to make them a click away. Not truly connecting. Just virtually connected. Are we really able to close the gap with help from the technology? Or are we still as far apart, just that we thought we had shorten the distance...
