The Light On Your Face Warms My Heart
About How Other People Look at Things
It's long since I ever got books randomly from the library, the thought in my mind is like, ahh I don't have time, so I shall only read for reasons. So yesterday, when I picked two books from shelf in ADM, for the sack of passing time on MRT, I felt like doing something adventurous. And yea, it turns out to be very fun and opens up my mind a little bit!
One is a record of drawings, like a drawing diary. The other is a cute

History Lesson Notes
People all around the world live very similarly, life span is about 30 years old and 5 inches.
Adam Smith, 1776 "The Inquiry...Wealth Of Nations"
WEALTH is the engine that drives the social interaction. (WEALTH is what the society is able to produce above what is required for survival.) Village is the back rock of the production of wealth--->exchange of surpluses between cities and the villages. The pursuit of the surpluses is the beginning of the world pulling apart.Commercialization is the engine of Globalization.
Technology, especially hydraulic technology changes the relationships: resources are now controlled by the state
China, for instance, was building the canal forever... it connects the rice frontier to the urban areas. A fusion of farming frontier of southern China and the military and political frontier in northern China was forming. The population growth from 8th 50 million to 12th Century 100 million.
Luxury Goods
Pepper from India, sick from China, clothes from Europe, weapon from south Asia, cinneman from Sri Lanka. Small and light, ship-able to other part of the world
The Process of Deforestation
It is an on-going story. The growth of wealth leads to the deforestation. It begins with the destruction of the elephant habitats in southern China. The landscape is filled with human hubs, for rice production. The growth of wealth changes the math of the politics. The negotiations of agrarian people, merchants and the tax collectors. The interconnection and the interdependence of the parts around China.
The Silk Road：Afro-Eurasian trade 1000-1300 CE
Dun Huang documented what life was life on silk road. Spread of Buddhism made the commercial activities easier across the ethnics, and aided by the commercial transactions. Camels are tied through nose tips, elephants and horses; Footwear and water.
Technology: sea lanes.
ships, larger ships, caravel, campus invented in China,

What I Will Be Proud Of at My Funeral
Had a get-together with Mia and Manfred yesterday, after life, 2 years and a half?
They do not seem to remember what I remembered. It was discouraging, or you can say I was sad. But it made me happy too, because I started to realize that I DO REMEMBER. Those are not gone in me.
The past is all mine, my life is so rich with it. No one really forgets and nothing is forgotten. I live my life with it so I live in the moment, truly. As if there's nothing bothering me, that the world is not in such a hurry to live on and on, that I have confidence for myself, to live it out so that when I left for another world, peeps will remember me in my funeral, as a happy woman who did what she wanted to. And if the memory accumulates, and I so wanted to share it, recall it with these friends as I did, I wouldn't be regretting my life, what wrong did I do or stuff like that. I know it's all a process, that I loved my life.
People move on, or they are in a different mood to remember together with you. You know, you experienced it together and be happy and be sad at the moment, but you can't share the memory, at the same moment, two and a half years later.
