My Inkslab

Dad brought me this really nice inkslab a while back. The whole thing is carved from a piece of rock. It’s for use with
Chinese brush calligraphy and painting. I haven’t had a chance to try
it yet. I wonder how well it grinds. Anyway, below are pictures of it.
Can you guess where it is from?

聲聲慢

尋尋覓覓，冷冷清清，悽悽慘慘戚戚。
乍暖還寒時候，最難將息。
三杯兩盞淡酒，怎敵他、晚來風急。
雁過也，正傷心，卻是舊時相識。

滿地黃花堆積。
憔悴損，如今有誰堪摘？
守著窗兒，獨自怎生得黑。
梧桐更兼細雨，到黃昏、點點滴滴。
這次第，怎一個、愁字了的。

南宋 – 李清照 (1084 – ca 1151)

Good morning.

Another day spent at school, writing JSP code that may or may not work
and making purty little images for our web application project. Chris
gave Ahmed and me a lift home. And guess what? When I stepped out of
the car, I heard birds chirping. It’s the first time that birds’
chirping get on my nerves. It was as though they were laughing at us:
“Haha, look at those no-life who had to stay 14 hours at school to rot
in front of computers.”

4:30 in the morning. This is like the usual time that you see Ojiji’s
and Obaba’s getting in a line for morning Dim Sum in Hong Kong. Too bad
we don’t have morning Dim Sum here in Montréal.
