i've never been a new blogger for these years, yet this would be the first time i started a blog somewhere outside the chinese-speaking world and i feel like i was new. right, it is obviously true that physical and geographical locations mean nothing more than my user IP within such a space. i'm however excited about me being 'new'. could we say that the surroundings have nothing to do with the mental state? if not, then it is quite natural that when i'm sitting here typing, recognising that i'm geographically located in a place where i've never blogged, i see myself as a blogger differently.
the other reason for me to call myself new is the language i'm about to use. i've been writing some notes in english--as you'll see when they're imported here--on facebook. i do that just because there are so many threads in my head coming out in english, despite the bad grammar that might be inherent in my sentence composing. also i didn't assume whom i was speaking to and whom i'm not. but now things are different: i don't see chinese-speaking people visiting my blog a lot, though i hope they do. that is, i'm voluntarily creating a space wherein the virtual landscapes are to be built in english.
as the celebration for a start, i'd post this photo. they were once my pets, the cells i've struggled to maintain well and the cells who collaborated with me on my scientific projects. they were young, new and about to grow to 100 % confluence. and of course, this doesn't mean that i'm crazily stuffing this blog as they filled the dish.
