How my office desk looks like! I have on my desk some pretty useless and useful items –
Useless items:
– black & white earrings displayed purely for aesthetics purposes
– magnetic panda card holder (which somehow happens to be black & white) given by Jane that can’t contain more than like 3 cards
– a zebra-like looking thing (black & white again?!?) that looks quite friendly, but really, it does nothing much. besides, i’m really not a big fan of animals 😛
Useful items:
– little figurines of climbers (complete with ropes and backpacks!) stuck on the upper portion of my computer monitor, to remind me that it’s probably much better to be embarking on some adventure as compared to facing the computer for 8 hours everyday at work.
– nice photos of our previous mountaineering expeditions that I put up, again to remind me that there’s a bigger world outside, something more exciting beyond my office cubicle, and they also do wonders to distract me from my work 😛
– Centrum Multivits, which functions to keep me healthy and hence turn up for work every day (and hence the need for more climbing figurines and climbing photos!) 🙂
Yihui’s first foray into the outdoors was climbing a snow-capped mountain during a Technical Mountaineering Course in New Zealand back in 2003. She has since developed a passion for hiking and climbing mountains in extreme places.
