This song sounds like one of my older ones. You know? I wish I can go back to tracking music. I think it would make me be a bit happier. It might even help me release some of my ‘hidden’ anger.

I spent the day out with Albert and Jenny. He came and picked me up around 2pm, went to Chinatown by 3pm, walked around to look for a glass case for the Lord Guan statue Jenny got him, then picked up a wok for Jenny’s cooking activities. We went to quite a few places, even to a bakery that I haven’t been to for more than 20 years.

More than 20 years… At first, I didn’t recognize it, but as I scanned the room, some vague images of mirrors on the walls, and orange couches, wooden tables, and beige floors came back. I was really young back then. That was when Chinatown was the heart of the Chinese population. Now, Richmond is the heart of the Chinese population. [sigh]

Hmmm… A lot of questions were exchanged between Albert and I today. I don’t want to reiterate any of them here but it was almost tiring.

Basic question for myself – “Am I a dreamer?” or rather, “Am I dreaming?”

  2. No, I didn’t create those. Those two towers is actually the same building. It is being built in Dubai, UAE as the world’s tallest building. That entire city is going to be super futuristic. Here’s a link: CLICK HERE

Concepts from Leemanism has as little filtering as possible. These concepts are not reflected in the people I value and are associated with. People who accept me, adhere to the parts where we are compatible and tolerate the parts where we are not. So however people perceive me to be, ultimately it obviously doesn't mean the people I mention in this blog are the same as me. It means it's possible they are similar or the same, as well as different than me. It is highly unusual for people to be completely compatible with each other. It is also highly unusual for people to be fully supportive of each other, even if they say they do.

Common society expects self-respect to be a concept you enforce on yourself, while solely adhering to what common society dictates as being right. However, self-respect in fact, is doing what pleases you, while not permitting others to disrespect you, and when they do, you cut them out of your life. Don't let common society gaslight you into believing the self-respect you have for yourself should be dictated by common society's views on morality. Self-respect is the individual's right to live as they desire - not what common society deems as acceptable. Too often, people succumb to the weight of the world, dismissing their individual value, to try to fit in and be accepted. If you are the type of person who tries to fit in with common society, under the fantasy you are also an unique 'weird' person of your own thoughts, then I dare say, you're delusional. Everyone says they rather be weird, but when challenged, they retreat back into their social shells, doing everything they can to deflect self accountability.

That's utterly boring.

However, at the same time, I also understand that some people must do what they must do to protect themselves, before the law of the land and before common society try to lynch them for what they are. Even if your ideals may be right, society will more often than not, deem you wrong - even most of your friends may side with society, than protect you.

So with that said, we are few. Stay safe. (•̀ᵥᵥ•́)
