It is okay to be ignorant...

but indifferent!

Was wiki-ing something today and suddenly came to the items about Tibet and the Tibet Issue. Not my first time browsing over these pages that I would not be able to open the links when I was in the mainland, honestly speaking, they shocked me but also turned me away for the first few times, cuz I still strongly believed that they'r just telling their side of story, until today when I was reading a pdf file about the comparison of different "sayings" towards this issue from both Beijing and Tibet sides, I had to admit that I slowly accept more of what they told, at least I couldn't believe in my textbook anymore.

I went to Tibet last summer, but I am pretty sure I am not seeing the whole picture. But also I would suggest all those people who have quite extreme viewpoint about Tibet should visit there, and judge by your own eyes and brain. I still couldn't make up my mind, but I guess it doesn't matter, what matter is the process of in pursuit of truth with courage although sometimes it usually hurts.

still, when I saw the supportors of "independance of Tibet" are promoting the boycott of Beijing 2008 Olympic, I found it cowardice.

China rebukes Japan over shrine

sometimes I am not sure whether we are over-reacting, I mean, we should already give up hope on the Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Junichiro Koizumi, to the end of days, he's just a political figure, sole goal is to earn more political capatical by playing populist in parliment. I was happy that the Chinese side took up the initiative to conduct a conversation, but Ms. Wu's sudden leave without a sincere explanation which might very probably serve as a national protest of a kind has just wrapped away the efforts and sincerity shown from the Chinese side.

just as I repeatedly said, I will never involve in politics, it is either too complicated or too childish.

peace.

so I was really happy this noon after receiving an email from an old friend of mine, I decided that I deserve a cup of latte for this little joy of my secret. Bup, a big cup of nice latte, went out, raining like hell!!! the worse thing was - that I was actually have more than a cup of coffee in my hand. I confessed that I couldn't resist the charm of the mange icecream. Can you imagine the picture now? - Rain (heavily), Cup of latte, Ice cream (without any cover).

and the girl in the shop was so kind that she actually brought me a chair from outside and asked me to wait till the rain stops.

2 seconds "NO! I don't wanna wait, I wanted to get a cup of coffee and ice cream maybe, then I want to go home to enjoy them in my small messy room, nothing can stop me doing so, not even the rain." so I walked out, walked so fast almost like running (can't run with hot coffee), using my jacket to cover my coffee, with ice cream in another hand. GREAT! it feels great. Indeed. The happiness of being able to do what I want to do and - being able to realize that someone/something was not mine and I am glad that it was not and it won't be.

I learnt to let go.
