today's words of love
Your happiness is my happiness.
你的幸福快樂,就是我的幸福快樂。

長期的分隔兩地是件很辛苦的事,
偶爾我會感到十分不安。
如果對方在我不在的時候發生什麼事情,
我都沒有辦法在第一時間就去陪伴他。
人的生命很脆弱,
My project leader keeps on calling me "Min", since 3 months ago that I told her my name is not "Lia" (name of a Korean girl). It's not like I didn't tell her my name is Li Min, but she just doesn't seem to care. Luckily my name is probably much more easier to pronounce than the Korean names (ex. Reuh, Chung Hong...). So I do accept the fact that she's missing one charactor of my name.
However, not just the leaders, also the tutors don't really recognize all of us. Considering the fact that the school has been soooo international and famous for so many years, they don't really know how to respect people. I gotta say that the Italians are really random in many aspects, and that is just annoying.

I just finished a big part of my master thesis, and now there's just the presentation left. Take a look at my lovely desk. On the right are the drawers with all my stored food. During busy days I don't even need to leave my chair to get some food. Although sometimes I do run out of stored food. Being a designer is like this, you either get really fat by not moving at all, or you get really thin because you have nothing to eat.

"I miss you. And I miss holding your hand."
Most people are quite surprised when they hear that we can keep this long-distance relationship for a year and a half, including my new flatmate who I just knew for 5 minutes. Well, what's to be surprise about? Isn't that how it usually works in a real relationship? Or loyalty and trust have become really uncommon nowadays?
On the other hand, maybe it's in my genes that I don't like to suspect my lover. It's just too troublesome. And if being in a relationship troubles me more than it makes me happy, I'd rather not be in one.

Cliff is always adventurous in trying new beverages, so I thought I should do the same thing. Here let me present the most horrible almond tea in the world. Never in my life could I imagine a drink can be this bad; it's like drinking soap.
I also tried the soy milk they have in the supermarket. It was also terrible. Gosh, don't they have any taste in producing good drinks at all??? Do they even know that soy milk is made of soy only and you should never add anything strange inside??? >.<

The one thing I really don't like about Milan is that the food here really sucks. Especially during this period, when my thesis deadline is only a month left, and I'm just too lazy to cook or to buy food. It's like I've cooked and tried everything I could but there's just nothing that could arouse my appetite.
Listening to lots of music, doing research and thinking wildly is what I do recently. Do not think that I'm having a good time here coz actually I'm not. Life here is a little bit too imbalanced. I don't really like to spend that much time on a project that will never be practiced. However, convincing your teacher is much harder than convincing your client. Because clients are simple, and they have to confide in the professionals; professors are stubborn, and proud. Most importantly, they don't realize the seriousness of cultural difference. The same thing may work in Europe, but will never work in Asia.
And to be honest, the future of the world depends a lot on Asia. Nevertheless I should still treasure this moment, coz in the future, if I'm back to Asia working, I would never have so much time just to work on "concept" anymore.
