About Us

When I become older, much much older, I want to live in a wooden hut at the foot of teak-covered mountains, flanked by an ocean of emerald green rice paddies. It will be a simple life. I would wake up to the sound of roosters and make breakfast from my own tiny garden. In the dense rainforests, there will be animals. In the muddied river, there will be fishes. That is how I want to live once I am old.
Here is my problem: I can only think of the future but never of the present. In the short term, I have goals I want to achieve: a certain school I want to go too, a certain job I want to do, a certain salary I want to get. But like balls of sand in a river, these ambitions constantly change and dissipate along with the flow of time. Because of this, I do not know what I really want to do. I don't have a calling. I dread in the present while fearing of never reaching the future.
So to be able to live in the present, I want to use this blog as a bridge. Day by day, I hope to grab my wandering thoughts, put them down and slowly make it into a path. Who knows, maybe the bridge will bring me to this lush-green landscape one day.

My ultimate goal in life is to open a cool cafe. My interest in opening a cafe comes from my love, not of coffee, but of the unique atmosphere of a cafe. I have always wanted others with whom to share my emotions; a cafe, I think, is the best physical embodiment of the feelings I most wish to share. But of course, places can only communicate so much to the people that use them. I hope that this blog will be a good medium for me to share my thoughts and feelings. These thoughts and feelings will undoubtedly be more nuanced than the emotions that a cafe alone can convey. They may not always be positive like the feelings I wish to share through my cafe. I hope I can engender a sense of understanding and interest in me as a person. I hope that any readers of the blog will get a good sense of the kind of person I am. I hope people will read our posts and engage with the ideas that we present in the comments.

Growing up I've always been unsure of what I want to pursue. Even as college opened its doors to me, an institution that supposedly guides one's passions, I remain indecisive as ever. But maybe, it is this uncertain future that is sustaining me. I hope the reader(s) will forgive my lack of centrality in the many rambles and contemplations to come, but that's perhaps also where both you and I will derive the greatest pleasure from – the freedom of one's mind.

You ever just chug along in life and hit a massive rock? And the impact throws all of the nice things you had on board, all the beliefs and aspirations, off into a ditch? Hi, welcome to the continual train wreck of my life. I used to crunch numbers, now I draw pictures, hoping to one day starve with the rest of the artists.
