I haven’t been deliberately collecting a list of music for my funeral, but since this topic came into my mind yesterday, let me write down what I have. I won’t say it’s a fun thing to think about, but technically it is quite simple to find “fun” in a “fun-eral”. :)

What’s the point of playing music in a funeral? I’ve attended two or three funerals of my family members in China, and they all played the same boilerplate mourning music for rendering the grief emotion for the ceremony. The first time that I got to know there are other options was when I watched the movie “Love Actually”, in which a character played “Bye Bye Baby” by Bay City Rollers. I like that idea. If I were going to have a funeral of mine, I don’t want to make it a ceremony merely focusing on reminding people of their loss and drowning them in sadness. Instead, I want them to remember the good moments that we shared together, something they could take with them to enjoy their lives after I left for good.

Mars, this little rocky red marble in the space, has become quite popular recently. Elon Musk, the significant figure of our era, talked a lot about immigration to Mars. What’s so good about it? If you are curious about this potential new home for us, today is a lucky day for you. Because I’ve been there before and I do have a lot to share!

Let me ask you a question: what do you do to start your day? Do you open your window and feel the morning breeze? Or, do you take a little “commute” in your garden? In my case, I usually start my day with a cup of coffee. I make my own coffee, and because I’m pretty new to this coffee brewing business, usually it tastes really rrREALLY BAAAAAD. But, it can still provide a good experience to me. How come?
