Hello world is perhaps the right words to the start off this blog. WordPress generated the tagline and all I can imagine is my sudden explosion onto the world wide web as the next big thing waiting to happen. Of course being the next big thing comes with a price, namely my lack of enthusiasm for my ultimately unsightly thesis. Yes, I am a thesis-writing-idol-chasing-coffee green tea-drinking-bathroom-singing-power-obsessed-soon-to-graduate-wedding-planner-air-force-wannabe thing of a person. Weird. But the last time I checked (which is about 2 minutes ago), I was not quite ready to re-start a blog and comment about the absurdities of this world as if I could make sense of them. Yet here I am succumbing to the objectification (or blogification if such a word exists) of my life onto the tiny little screen of my new found love- The Macbook.
But it is my way of saying hello to the world. Which honestly consists of much Mayday (五月天) obsessing. Though I am rather resistant to the term “obsession”, I have been told by my rather intuitive sister that it has perhaps come to that point of no return. I blame it on…I am searching for the politically correct noun to fill in the space but I all I can think of is “不知道，我不知道”. For those not of the chinese-reading world, it means I don’t know, yes literally that’s what it means but it is also the title of the song stuck in my head for the past 2 weeks. How appropriate. And so this wordpress blog is titled “Chasing Mayday” which basically sums up my life for the past 5 years while away from home. It signifies my imagination of some sort of hope, opportunity and dramatics, all of which connects me to the romanticism of partaking in something so real and yet so far.
How? Well that’s the point of writing this blog. And if I may, here begins a life of uncertainties as I continue to chase Mayday and live with obsession of knowing that it’ll always remain simply that, Chasing Mayday.
