1 year and 3 months ago, I met a girl here in San Francsico. I wrote about her on this post, for she recognized me for writing this blog. “Are you Ayumi? I read your blog” she said. It was the same day I shopped for golden shoes to wear to a friend’s wedding.
Since then the shoes have gone […]

Been thinking of myself as a robot all day. It started when I was on the underground train, watching the morning commuters mechanically flow into one direction. I lifted myself to a birds eye point of view, and fast forwarded the scene:
Commuters, like blood cells, made a stream flowing to a city, that is a heart, who pumped energy in the […]

Went to visit my CASA girl who lives 2 hours away. Went there on a beaten truck, put-put’ing our way on the highway. Her daddy drove, I sat beside, 4 hours on the road, with windows rolled down and still the heat scorching our elbows.
“If I waz presiden’, first thing I do, I’d go to Deetroit and go to the car […]

She plans to wake up early to practice piano and pack her lunch. She plans to go out jogging before cooking dinner. Hit and miss, 3 out of 5. She still puts on a good show, on stage on weekend nights.
My boss is late this morning, I think he’s got a hang over. He plans to […]

I once saw a programme in Japan, about a thief who got caught stealing carpets.
Imagine, putting on your slippers in the living room, in the morning, looking around, feeling funny. Then noticing the carpet’s gone. The furniture’s all been moved, and back into its proper place. The wallet you left out last night, is still […]

“In Australia they use real popcorn instead of polystyrene packing” I heard from a grapevine.
What a simple and brilliant idea! I thought. Why, we can include a pack of salt, as an extra gift to fill the stomach!
I asked around, looked it up, bottom line wasn’t so bad.
Compared to polystyrene bubbles, real popcorn costs more, […]

From the scorching sun
A shade
One by one
We resort
In the comfort of a great canopy.

Busy road, a fluffy animal caught in the river of speeding cars. “Be careful raccoon!” I thought and waved my hand to the drivers, made sure the animal got across safely.
I followed it as it ran under a parked car. Upon a closer look, “A GIANT RAT!”
It’s called a “possum” I later found. It’s long […]

Duane brought his telescope, we saw moon craters, and the giant ring of Saturn. A man came by holding a cigarette, “what’cha all watching?” he asked.
“By golly, look at that!” He works as a guard, he said. He watches the goings on behind security cameras. “One time a big bee flew by, I almost fell […]

A once common scene: Sleeping in front of a television turned on, the screen buzzing in electric grains of black and white. In fact, before the black and white buzzing, there was something about colour testing, when the screen turned bright with different coloured stripes. And before that, the Japanese flag swayed in the blue […]
