    things i do when i am doing serious master thesis writings

    1. feeling sick and couldn't start, try to find any single other thing i can do to avoid open the doc files
    2. read Stanely Fish, my favorite op-ed writer on NYT, talking abt academy and neo-liberalism, anyways, he's got real opinions
    3. Check on Maureed Dowd (hope it's not typo), i like her but she's too writer
    4. read Paul Krugman, gosh, he kicks ass, i admire his super Cartesian, Crystal clear way of writing, always make abstract things easy to understand, get to the point, no shi* around the bushes
    5. thinking about Lilian.......use her to encourage myself...keeps on writing D!!
      'you shd giv urself more time on writings, u shd find someone to edit ur things'
    6. read Virginia Woolf
      she's damn good, damn damn good
      her prose, sentences, words, compositions, syntax
      i cannot image anyone could write English in such a seductive, attractive, amusingly surprisingly beatiful way
    7. trying to read Foucault (bcoz he kicks ass too), but never can finish one single page at a time (bcoz he likes bluffing.....also it's translated, so it's better to blame the translator) feel so sorry i cannot read French
    8. read Freakonomics
      it's short, it's funny, it's got interesting new ideas, simplify and contribute to sth new
    9. get a pen, a paper, use my hand to write
      and never look at those notes again
    10. talking to myself 'WRITE WRITE WRITE!!!!'
    11. writing email to URA - they always got my answers in just 3 days, brutal efficiency of Singapore
    12. writing to friends asking for help
    13. writing to NUSLib for purchasing book, journals, whatever
    14. image someone as my reader
    15. image i'm writing a story, not a thesis
    16. 'it's stupid, i'm not writing anything new, i'm just doing documentaries, and i am stupid' this is shit!
    17. ....and i'll watch Grey's Anatomy, bcoz it's simple, it got nothing but narrations (storylines), it imporves my American english while keeps my brain totally empty / dead. it's the pure entertainment.(i dont watch Boston Legal because it keeps my brain on, thinking abt big issues....)
    18. blame myself
    19. DAMON U SHD WRITE NOW ALTHOUGH IT'S TOTALLY SHIT....
