I've been told that the "mock lomo pics" i took are actually just distorted pics, not lomo at all.. its like saying the mock meat i cooked is actually just "modified gluten" i suppose... :p oh well... i'll try harder..

Been thinking quite a lot about where I want to be and what i want to be doing 5 to 10 years from now... Think it was triggered by my reading of this book "Success is A Journey" about this guy who woke up one day and decided to travel 17,000 miles from the west coast of America to Cape Town, South Africa...it's a book about "fulfilling your dreams" and the "importance of courage, persistence, and the acceptance of total responsibility for one's very survival".

Incidentally, over the last weekend, I also chanced upon this "Life In Hell" comic strip in IS magazine by Matt Groening (of The Simpsons fame). This funny rabbit-eared buck-toothed character was told that he had within himself all that he needed to create the life that he wants for himself. All he had to do was to "choose and focus on a life that embodies his highest aspirations and wildest fantasies, a life full of love and laughs and adventure." He had to visualize what the life would be like ("feel it in your bones, let your imagination soar"). Then, imagining that ten long years have passed and everything in life has happened in the "best possible way" - "What will you be doing? What will you have accomplished? Where will you be living? Who will you be kissing?"…

Quite inspiring… seriously…where would I really want to see myself? How do I want to be feeling at that time?
