October 29 wash that sugar down"Let's go down Wash that sugar down You gotta realize that there ain't no party like the party going on in my house Better believe that it's gonna be the biggest night of the year Because there ain't no party like the party going on in my house but it would be so much better if you were only here" [Orson, Ain't No Party, Culture Vultures] Hitlist #347 October 29th, 2007 Hangzhou
cherish the dayLast week I worked for 6 days. This week will be similar. Yesterday in my school in Xiaoshan I thought I could fall asleep within 2 minutes. If only there was a bed... Luckily I overcame those moments of weakness. I came back home in the evening, talked to Kevin for some time (I like talking to him, I do regard him as my younger brother)... and at 10 pm I was already sleeping. There was a Halloween party organized by school. I didn't attend it, too exhausted. I regret it a bit but it's best not to think about it. That's also a title of Athlete's song. Athlete is a British band, their music is called indie, it's melancholic, has touching melodies and (still) rock sounds. I like it a lot. Best not to think about it - about problems, being tired, money stuff, lost chances, reject and disappointment. Cherish the day. October 28 lost friendshipI lost a friend. Reason? Damn money. As always. Money sucks so much, so obviously. We sold our friendship for damn 10000 RMB. I'm so frustrated and angry. I told him some invectives and so did he. Has the atmosphere been freshened? Not really.
It's disgusting what money makes with people.
Materialistic pigs, materialistic world, money rules the world. Not my world.
Teardrops. October 23 different visionsThere have been parliament elections in Poland on Sunday. And the results showed that people were not satisfied with our government and the leading party. Great. Neither was I. We changed the conservative party to more liberal one, more pro-business, more pro-European and less pro-American one. I guess it's positive; Poland is in Europe, we are in EU, so it's an obvious thing that priority in our relations should be for European countries. I think I'm an idealist but I believe in European unity, that we can create something common - only if we co-operate with each other. Conservatists had different idea for Poland's future.. they wanted to be tough and nationalistic. It's not my vision. I bought air-tickets so it means that I'll be back to China next year. I'll spend Christmas holiday at home.. I'll be out of China from December 17th to January 24th. Over a month. We'll see how it goes this time. I think I have some doubts about going back home... Different vision again. ain't no partyHitlist #346 October 22nd, 2007 Hangzhou
October 19 it's time to shineI cut my hair and some people were shocked. And I was shocked because they were shocked. In China boys usually don't have very short hair, some of them look almost like girls... at least very girly! My hair doesn't grow very fast, it's enough to cut it once in 3 months. Now it's fresh and young. I feel like a young god again! It's time to shine!
Teaching everyday makes my life stable and secure. Swimming several times a week makes it energetic. Talking about food everytime I meet Chinese people ("have you eaten yet? what did you eat? where? with whom? using chopsticks?") makes me want to shout "Stop it!!". I know it's a Chinese custom but I'm getting tired... I will never get used to it. At first it made me smile, then I thought it was ridiculous, now I want to hit the one who asks. Oh yes, I'm exaggerating. Stop complaining, people are nice. October 16 kingdom"Can you feel me coming
Open the door, it's only me I have that desperate feeling In trouble is where I'm going to be
I know you hear me knocking So open the door and set me free If there's a kingdom beyond it all Is there a god who loves us all Do we believe in love at all I'm still pretending, I'm not a fool" [Dave Gahan, Kingdom, Hourglass] Hitlist #345 October 15th, 2007 Hangzhou
collectionFeeling lonely today. Perhaps it's because everybody's working while I'm free.
Feeling cold although outside temperature is about 20 degrees. My feet are constantly cold. I need to wear warm socks. That sucks, doesn't it?
I bought some DVDs and CDs. It looks like my collection is growing in a fast speed.
DVDs:
"Munich" (directed by Steven Spielberg);
"The Best Of Depeche Mode" (a collection of music videos);
"The Da Vinci Code" (directed by Ron Howard) - I know I'm late, I don't care;
"Hostel" (directed by Quentin Tarantino);
"No End" (directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski) - I was so surprised to see Polish director's movies in China, so I bought them immediately;
"Amateur" (directed also by Krzysztof Kieślowski) - I'm proud to be Polish at this particular moment;
"George Michael - Twenty Five" (a collection of music videos);
"Michael Jackson - The Ultimate Collection";
"Horror In The East" (a BBC documentary about cruelty of the Japanese over China and Hong Kong);
"Amelie From Montmartre" (directed Jean-Pierre Jeunet) - a French movie, very popular in Europe.
CDs:
James Blunt, "All The Lost Souls";
Gareth Gates, "Pictures Of The Other Side";
Blackfield, "Blackfield";
Blackfield, "Blackfield II";
Michael Buble, "Call Me Irresponsible";
Seal, "Best 1991-2004".
Quite many. I guess I got collector's nature. October 12 sleepyThis autumn I'm sleepy. My eyes are closing so easily!! I still swim 2-3 times a week, but if I didn't have a strong will (I do have), I wouldn't get up at 7 and go to the swimming pool.
These days I miss my family. It's been a long time since we saw each other, it'll take 2 months more until I'll see them again. Of course I know that when I'll go home, after first moments of excitement I will complain about boredom, but now it seems to be so sweet and lazy!
Hong Kong trip was fabulous, I still keep returning there in my memories. To meet Ricky is always a pure pleasure. To go to Ocean Park is always a pure craziness. This time I also visited Macau but the casino city didn't impress me as much as Hong Kong.
OK, time to sleep again, I want to use every moment to take rest before classes. October 08 1973"I would call you up every Saturday night And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light And we sang 'Here we go again' And though time goes by I will always be In a club with you In 1973 Singing 'Here we go again'" [James Blunt, 1973, All The Lost Souls] Hitlist #344 October 8th, 2007 Hangzhou
October 07 backBack to Hangzhou. Raining... like the world is crying because the holiday is over.
Hong Kong is splendid. Calvin even said that I used this word too often. OK, maybe I should change it. Marvellous!!
I met Ricky, my HK-friend. One of my best friends. We had an enjoyable time!
God, I feel so tired, I lack of sleep. Hehe, holiday supposed to be the time for taking rest! October 01 落叶归根"落叶归根" (Luo Ye Gui Gen) is so beautiful. Touching. Great. Lovely.
