柳宗元《始得西山宴遊記》

自余為僇人,居是州,恆惴慄。其隙也,則施施而行,漫漫而遊。日與其徒上高山,入深林,窮迴谿。幽泉怪石,無遠不到;到則披草而坐,傾壼而醉;醉則更相枕以臥,意有所極,夢亦同趣;覺而起,起而歸。以為凡是州之山有異態者,皆我有也,而未始知西山之怪特。
今年九月二十八日,因坐法華西亭,望西山,始指異之。遂命僕人過湘江,緣染溪,斫榛莽,焚茅茷,窮山之高而止。攀援而登,箕踞而遨,則凡數州之土壤,皆 在衽席之下。其高下之勢,岈然洼然,若垤若穴;尺寸千里,攢蹙累積,莫得遯隱;縈青繚白,外與天際,四望如一。然後知是山之特立,不與培塿為類。悠悠乎與 灝氣俱,而莫得其涯!洋洋乎與造物者遊,而不知其所窮!引觴滿酌,頹然就醉,不知日之入,蒼然暮色,自遠而至,至無所見,而猶不欲歸。心凝形釋,與萬化冥 合。然後知吾嚮之未始遊,遊於是乎始,故為之文以志。是歲,元和四年也。

I wish I can reach this stage some day~~

Two days with zero research

It has been a while I haven't done any research for this "long". During my MPhil days, I would keep asking myself, why do research when it can help nobody? BCI research is different. It is not just a science problem. It is a science problem with engineering values -- which is perhaps why I like the topic so much.

=====

While I was wandering along the Shing Mun Canal tonight, I suddenly realize what is still important for me. This shouldn't be this important at this stage of my life, but I can't help it. I still want to overcome my own struggles in the past. It is this struggle that has given me a sense of meaning, that almost defines me the past few years. This struggle is still dragging me behind, however. For example, in the interview, I have nothing to show off. I have no experience to show off. Kind of problematic in this superficial world.

Part of the struggles has to do with my father NOT introducing me about the world appropriately. I really have zero knowledge about the world, even the city that I've lived in for about 30 years already.

With that being said, one of my goals in life remains this one -- I'll try to get a better understanding of the world, while re-inventing myself in the process.  To travel more is obviously one of the better ways. I hope I can do it more... starting with HK!!

Would you like to do it with me?????

=====

By the way, we didn't work out that well so far. One of the reasons is that.. I cannot play my roles with ease. I know, as a girl, you have rights to expect your boyfriend to plan a lot of stuff when hanging out. Not me. Please. Not me. I don't know anything about anything, when it comes to hanging out. I hope it doesn't have to be one leading the other. But WE doing things together...

Take a brief rest, and fight again tomorrow!

The past two days have been pretty rewarding. Need to keep up with the literature search!!

I'm actually very happy to have a chance to help write the proposal!  Hope the ellipse can fit into the hole. If the hole is big enough, why not?

Another mild surprise, Prof. Blu continued to give me an A even though I've achieved next to nothing the past few months.. Time to repay him as well~ but I'm really tired like hell now..

=====

I only want to say... I miss you more than ever... but... I really think we shouldn't rush our decision again... I'm happy to know that you have resumed yoga~~~ add oil with the paper as well!!!

Time to sleep.

Two quick things

1. The T-shirts look too cute for me :)  Would be quite odd wearing them to school.
2. Come up with a potential thesis title on the way home: "A phonological model of electroencephalographic responses to speech for auditory BCI applications". If anything, I think I've got to do a keyword search with "phonological model" "EEG responses" "speech perception" now!
