I simply hate technology.

寫paper用words，記號碼用手機，約會用msn,.. 寫日誌用blogger,..... 儘管現在是數碼時代有時候我還是比較傾向用紙筆。所以隨身還是會帶個筆記本和鉛筆，就算真的要記東西也不會用手機啦，上學也是用紙筆做筆記。要寫卡片給朋友時，原本求美觀想用打字列印出來，但最後還是決定乾脆用手一筆一劃的寫下去。看完茨威格的Amok後學到的: 比起書寫，最無掩飾，誠懇的相處方式是面對面說話，特別是在心情最激動複雜時。那這樣如果用寫字已經算是很深思熟慮的話，那用打字豈不是更故意了，至少對我來說會這樣。已經很討厭科技了，因為比較喜歡親手慢慢畫出來的真實感，又因為害怕若是用機器處理過的文字會無法透露最誠懇和最直接的心意，難道不會可惜嗎。 對學校功課可以不必真誠卻要完美，在工作上可以不必坦率卻要微婉，但對喜歡的人，還是希望能夠呈現最真實最當下的感覺還有心意。還是用手寫吧，不能一邊寫一邊delete, 不能一邊想一邊把筆尖停放在紙上，只能一直寫， 寫出一直想打但打出來然後總是會在刪除的字，這樣以後就不會後悔當初未能表達出來想說的言語.

當然今早看了昨晚寫的東西還是會覺得當時是瘋了才能寫出這玩意, 但希望收到的人能夠喜歡。

IKEA

I think I will pay a visit to my favourite playground tomorrow!

Back in Taiwan my parents uses scrap materials from worksites and ask the men to put together a table or something, the rest they'd get them from IKEA.

Here in Canada I'd find random organic materials from my fridge and put together a dinner,

unless I'm really craving for cheap Scandinavian meals, then I'd seek help from IKEA.

But tomorrow I'm actually going to get batteries.

I was just googling "how to pronounce IKEA", because I was debating with this other person about it. And I was right! Well, if you really want to do the Swedish way, you say EE-KEH-AH, not freaking AI-KEY-YA!

And also, I just learned that IKEA is actually the acronym of Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd. Ingvar Kamprad is the Swedish person who found IKEA while the last two

Elmtaryd Agunnaryd are the village and farm where he grew up. I gotta say, this naming method is a bit strange, and not as creative, imagine if one day I open up, let's say a bakery, and I name it Sherry Yang Yaletown Vancouver (SYYV).

Actually, SYYV would be quite hard to pronounce, SAI-V (as in dive)? Maybe Ingvar Kamprad named it after his name and hometown just so he can make the words into IKEA, which sounds cool in this case. So in that case, Sherry Yang Taipei Vancouver might work better, SYTV as in SAI-TEE-VEE. Or Sherry Yang Surrey Vancouver, SYSV, SAI-SV, the last part sounds like Eastern European eh? Now I wish my name is Olivia, just so I can name my bakery Olivia Yang Yaletown Vancouver (OYYV), so I can say OYYYYYY-V. "Hey you wanna go to OYYV today to get some Portuguese buns?"
