wow | a form of expression {informal}

a date with: the birds by the park

it still look exactly like how i have remembered, since i last visited some 15 years ago, the heat, the cage, the hilly paths, the greens, the train rides, the birdshows… but revisiting it, today, sure made me change my views about the park.

as we grow older, we get to appreciate the things around us more. its a sign of maturity, its not a bad thing at all, i actually enjoy the thought of experiencing the same thing all over again with a second chance!

i am glad that i revisited the birdpark, now, i proudly say, i like the birdpark.
really!

trash it out.

growing up, i learnt that whenever if there is a misunderstanding/ unhappiness/disputes or what-so-ever pissed with somebody situation occur, we should trash things out. trashing things out is especially crucial to people whom you regard as a friend.

i hate it when things get snow-balled and i hate it more when you didn’t even realised this ball actually existed. worse of all, when you are the last person to realised this gigantic snow ball is just chasing right behind you.

whatever it is man, i m over and done with, we need to move on people, i don’t dwell at silly things!

current mood: whatever, wuliao, mafan kinda mixed feelings.

textures, my other favourite.

today, my eyes was a little more sensitive with textures, and this abstract looking; sliced apple caught my eyes. because, most of these things we get see all day long, became a blind spot to our eye, which is such a waste.

i am gonna start a themed: texturised, and load them all to my flickr, sooooo think that this will be interesting!

new love.

love this little white lens, LOVE it more when it says wide lens… LOVE IT TO DEATH when it says super wide angle lens. I have a feeling i will love it more when i am done with my first roll!

thanks to ah quek, the new santa clause in town : )

its so sunny these days

to my surprise, I didn’t get irritated with the very strong sunlight that falls on my table today… maybe cos its friday!!!!! infact, i always leave my windows closed as the reflection on my imac is killing my eyes… how nice if i am out of office in the sun!!! : )

totally can’t wait for weekend. and yes its 6.15, offically i am off from work!
stressful week coming ahead, so stressful.

a gross out goh day

it can be unpleasant smell, it can be dirty places, it can be awful times…
But, most of the TIME it happens when i meet irritating ppl, that will make me super grossed out. i always imagine puke just come out like a waterfall, endlessly from my mouth, sounds gross but yes, it really shows how disgusted i feel.

how GREAT it is to make shitty ppl disappear right away from my vision!

typography and tea

recently, i have been drowning myself with green teas to act healthy…
usually its a backup plan from coffee if i had too much in a day.

although its second choice, they are actually quite lovely tho, still remembered how i used to hate it cos i hated GREEN TEA, which equates to JASMINE which then relates to INDIAN SMELL. cool that i totally got over that and starting to love it!!!

30 people march on the year 1982

Love it to death, keep it for life!

loveable song for a quiet and blues monday

Click to make your ears happy: La Valse D'Amelie

only lovely songs allows you to paint beautiful images.
and with the surreal mix of fantasy, my looping mode begins.

the painting that i painted while looping:
riding on a huge beautiful merry-go-round horse that never stops.
on a beautiful garden that’s filled with tall and crunchy green grass.
a sky thats never too warm or cold.  
with endless colourful bubbles floating everywhere.

totally for a very blue and quiet monday.

only in singapore.

A friend asked me today if i like the fact that i m in singapore.

I replied, I would if there was 4 seasons here.  

life will be more challenger.
all our moods will be better.
things will appear prettier.
animals will be happier.
weather won’t be unbearable. 
outdoor activites will be merrier.
AND, i will be a million times happier.

wouldn’t it will be just a perfect place to be in?

its a never ending list.
so, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

current mood: as gloomy as the red sky may seemed.

moth. moth..


r
eally felt for this moth,
a feeling i never felt before.

looking at it in the eyes gave me a lot of memories.
and it could be…

back to work. back to the same routine.

i rested.
i rejuvenated.
i maximised all my 14 days of holiday.
now, i am so not used being back at work.

my table is getting more and more messy with the very many loved things.

years of dust.

10 over years of accumulation.
10 over years of untidiness.

all memories of happiness and sadness are found in there.

an ugly night to remember.

It was a funny, gross, ugly, mismatched, drunk, laughing party.

the committee this year really rocked the whole JWT singapore by making it
so so so so so perfectly brilliant. so good that i will not forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

theme: ugly & mismatch 2008 (JWT Singapore)
location: home club, singapore 



little jap art.

my ricoh: last seen in action.
as usual, it captures beautifully. 

jap lens snapping jap erasers in non jap land.
the japs are amazing.

caterpillar is the new green.

the greens on a caterpillar is really brilliant.
love how the body is formed, how the green is so luminous,
how its chilling out on the wall outside my window.

its amazing how this little thing will transform into a whole new look… 

although it looked really juicy but i don’t think i want to taste it!

small but mighty

a lamp that looks like a fan.
a lamp that is small but mighty.

love it totally love it!

cats do freak me out.

 

i don’t think i can work peacefully with their presence.
i don’t think i can ever like them.

i just think they totally freaked me out.
luckily, there are lovely people who cared.

and the lovely typo is totally lovely.

a lighted light camera

sleek. brilliant. amazing.

light vs leica.
they both look nice.

a table a character.

judging a person through their workstation.

given the same kind of table top, in the same environment, in the same office, every individual will dress it up in their very own unique style. you can never ever forever find one table that looks exactly like yours. cos its uniquely yours uniquely your style.

a corner where you will be spending more then 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 12 months a year. it really doesn’t matter how messy or untidy it can go, as long as you feel comfortable.
