One Year...(19/5)

Already stated in many different occasions, change management to me is a good strategy to manage a life. Stable life is admirable but stimulation is the key to keep going forward, at least at a certain stage of life when stability could erase all the motivation and incentive to advance. My Year One of full-time academic discovery just ended, in style. Puzzling doubt and yet-to-be-accredited choice of action remain a counter-balancing force to rationalize the unconventional behaviour among the peers. Of course it turns out to be another question about the standard of norms of best critical path to meaningful life. The year has been intensive yet enjoyable...
At a certain point when the momentum halts, there is a question mark pointing to the justification of pursuit of knowledge against financial remuneration or social status. Luckily we do not enter the conscious world with a materialistic equipment kit. I return to the city of love, and the familiar environment encourages me to keep an unstable move in a stablised ambience. Met with people of different origins and most of them share some part of visions I try to pursue. Age is an unfair pre-requisite judgment to youthfulness (or maturity) and experience. I barely pick up my words in different languages. Political science has never been a formal training in life I have ever had, though I used to have a dream to practice decision-making in life. The year has been an accommodating period of everything. Still another process of self-learning. The setting broadens my interpretation of cultural difference, since seniority or business interest no longer places a rule to neutralize different cultural beliefs and understanding. A stream of new discovery in global complexity and tactics for international governance comes up in mind. A re-orientation of career planning and possibility. Life is more than it can tell sometimes. Of course, promoting for Hong Kong is still an automated process for daily communication. All in all, Hong Kong is a small spot in the world, despite how efficient it has developed and how strategic it plays in the regional trade development.

Istanbul Express...(22/4)

Constantinople, a capital where I would not forget from my very elementary history class in high school, turns into a sophisticated capital waiting for its government call towards the West, or the East. The strategic location since the past has guarded the flow between the East and the West. It is unique in terms of culture, urban development (redevelopment), social integration and commercial development. I could tell how the European would perceive Turkey’s request for accession to the EU family, but a visit could affirm an understanding of the importance of Istanbul, as the capital of this bridge linking Europe and Central Asia (Russia and China), to balance the power between both direction, be it defense, commerce and trade, energy, environmental sustainability, cultural integration and disintegration. I came to know from the Conference about the involvement of Turkey in NATO, and its concerns about EU accession...(read more)
Geopolitics is a tricky part for the region, and then religious belief states another part of the story. My commitment did not allow me to stay longer in Istanbul, and as an express tour to the city amid the backdrop of volcanic ashes, I guess this journey should still be an enjoyable one. Meeting an amateur photographer at the Sabiha Gökçen Airport was yet another interesting story. Men-captured images should definitely be graffiti of human development and social activities in the post-modern world. Koc University was a resourceful and prestigious institution. Pegasus is an innovative budget airline, not only because of their courage to take off from the ashes and debris, but I like its idea to dramatise its safety trailers. How the airline world could figure out a way to attract passengers to watch their formality safety announcement? The airline has a clue to pleasantly tell.

Spence's Way of Expense...(2/1)

It's been a while since I would like to express my fascination of Spence's work on signalling. The idea is great for education being a social waste. Of course, there bears a hypothesis of the value of education itself...
In an economic world, an enhancement of skill and technique to work force via education should count some credits, especially in the knowledge society. Self-fulfilling prophecy. The argument on signalling means to some, if not all, who like to take advantage of implying to the future about their presence in present. An arguable step to aspiration, if yet too calculative. A compromise to the capitalistic valuation of weight. During the signalling process, though, would be a harsh search of their existence in terms of the non-bridging to the frequency where a signal is truly needed. This is more than investment and saving, and so a wasting moment of signal proves our complex imperfect world. So truth...

Day and Night...(24/9)

Hiding in the labyrinth of words, what I can see is the tail of the fading ink. How do the words transform in another world? The dream tells...thinker, keep dreaming.

Montage Saint Germain...(20/9)

Recording becomes more than a luxury for the occupied space of ideology and methodology. Inspiration-driven mission started at the crossroad of the last spot of deja-vu...Surrogate clones in the blurred and duplicated landscape of doppelganger magnify an unrealistic existence. Everything comes back to basic, and yet deviated from the normative path of convergence. The need of fulfillment is dragged by the undetermined currents of divergences. A pre-determined destiny of the mystery of U. Roll on, the montage is on the go.
Same level of rugged surface, without a nice impact of the global warming, and rock'on, the same rhythm turns on the new chapter in electric drive. The scattered moving arts intrude the core of the ideological evolution. Be a part in it, the organisational giant of clockwork furnace...salut.
