i really admire the design of these stairs and how they incorporate a wheelchair access ramp. in a world where barrier free design is essential to living a full and happy life, its amazing to see landscape architect Cornelia Oberlander has taken literal steps to design stairs AROUND a ramp, instead of the other way around.

People. Also, 80 CLASSES!
I’m very happy with the people around me right now. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all my wonderful friends for being present in my life, and I feel really blessed to have such good company. I would not trade such like-minded, understanding and fun-loving people for anything in the world.
My dear dancies have shared so many happy and sad moments with me in dance. Surely there isn’t any other stronger bond that I can think of.
Archanaa’s coming back home in just over a day. I miss that girl a great deal, she hasn’t been a significant part of my life for the past 10 months, and I regret that I didn’t try and keep more in contact with her.
Joan’s coming back in a little over a month. Thank goodness for a BB, allowing us to keep in contact all the way. Fly back home, I miss having someone I can tell everything to, by my side. (physically)
Army friends have been pretty decent all the while. They’re really all good fellows, I’m glad we all have more than just NS to keep us bonded.
Life’s pretty good right now.

A Change of Heart
So recently, I just had the great opportunity to go on a week-long vacation to Australia, visiting the cities of Melbourne and Perth. Melbourne was more metropolitan, with a (in my opinion) almost-perfect balance of work and life, while Perth was no different from my last visit there, the city-state still retained its rustic, laid-back charm.
After returning from that really wonderful trip, I’ve recently become listless and lethargic. All throughout this week, I’ve been feeling rather tired, and sometimes I find it difficult to find meaning in the everyday things that I do. This does not apply to my attitude towards dance, thank goodness. My passion still burns bright, and I’m now less than 10 classes away from a Black Card. Yay.
I think my time in Aussieland has allowed me to slow down the rather rapid pace of my life, and granted me the ability to see myself in the grander scheme of things. My personal view is that, i would much rather not get trapped in this endless cycle of work to dance to tuition to home, and repeat. I would rather have meaning in the the different things I do, and if that means slowing down, and making sure that I appreciate the finer things in life, then sure. My goal is to be more emotionally and psychologically fulfilled in my everyday life, and to add more variety into my daily routine.
On a side note, I absolutely despise the word ROUTINE, and all its connotations of doing the some thing over and over, with no change. Seriously speaking, without change, I would die a slow, painful death. To be Ken is to be ever-evolving, and I don’t think I can achieve that with a daily schedule that is cyclical in nature, and painful to endure.
Some things I can choose to do to make my life more interesting/balanced:
1. Cook, and not just bake. One of the most wonderful things about cooking is that is has instant rewards, and everyone is made happy by good food(: especially me and my black hole of a stomach.
2. Write. Probably mainly fantasy. This is multipurpose, entertaining me, and keeping my imagination and language skills in fit form.
3. Pick up Photoshop. Prolly gonna be useful in my career to come, and I’ll be able to add this to my repertoire of skills.
4. Blog. This will sort my mind out. Said mind is in a great muddle nowadays.
5. Walk slower. Literally. Who the hell am I rushing for anyway?!
6. Be nicer to people. Hopefully this will not prove to be an insurmountable challenge.
Alright my computer’s phenomenal lag rate is annoying me. Time to do something else.
