I am down with flu, and feeling really sick. The last time I fell seriously ill was sometime last year, which lasted for two weeks. I think this may be another episode. I am sleeping\/reading\/writing and doing low key activities. I think I may not be able to film, and unfortunately, this time I don’t have any back up episodes. I will have to think of alternatives, like compiling videos via editing, as long I don’t have a headache, it should be okay.<\/p>\n

I did a conference call on Sunday with my Landmark group, although I was coughing at the background, I was trying my best to participate. What I dislike about falling sick is that I can’t do anything that requires more than 20% of my mental effort. I miss going to the office. I miss writing my novel. I miss filming. I miss the office cleaner. I miss writing emails. I miss so many things although it’s only a few days.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I have to try to get out of the house for my appointments. I just hope not to infect others.<\/p>\n

I feel particularly inspired by “Hatsune Miku”, the latest vocaloid who is currently the most famous singer in Japan, her songs being blared at train stations and departmental stores – except that she is a software and not a human. She reminds me about my younger self when I used to win dance competitions at the age of fourteen. But since I gave up the usage of my chinese name, all traces of my past fame has been removed from who I am today.<\/p>\n

Which… slowly, I am learning that changing my name did not mean losing my innocence, but more so towards the evolution towards my true self.<\/p>\n
