I don’t want to teach anymore. I think I’ll just save myself the heartache and pains.

Wow… I went for the opening of Singapore International Film Festival (SIFF), and next thing I know, it’s already the closing of SIFF… sure wish I have more time to do more things that I like.

I hate last classes.

again, and again, I’m reminded of this piece of advice I gave my brother when he was still very young, and was contemplating being posted to Brunei. 

^{“You know, it is even more difficult for a person to say goodbye when she loves you. You’ve got to realize just how much courage she has taken to say just those words.”}

I’ve always been a fan of rainbow ever since I saw one on a drive out of Perth, Australia.

Imagine my surprise when I looked up in the sky less than an hour ago and I saw this circular rainbow! like wow.. somehow, it just feels like the world is suddenly colorful again. Now, I’m one of those who look up pretty often, and I look down pretty often too, and I think that helps in the way I see things and experience life.

Here, enjoy!

outbursts.

giving up.

i care too much for each and every one of my kids. so much so that sometimes they take me for granted. i’m alright with it, as long as they learn to become a better human, and great photographer / artist. More importantly, that they live a life that they can be proud of. 

i get really frustrated when kids get lazy, self-centered, and full of themselves. When in actuality, they have nothing to be so proud of. i’ve been told again and again that i really care too much, that i should take it easy, easier on myself, really. 

sometimes, i really wonder if it’s better if I really don’t care so much.

what will one do when he / she realizes that things are falling apart?

what does one really do?

photography, as an art form, gets so much delusions from the commercial world that we live in. As a world, I really don’t enjoy living in such delusions. I like to be grounded. I like to be able to feel real people, with real emotions, with real friendships and bonds.

photography has become the escape for me to stay real. the world has become slowly, but surely unreal.

having been in pain for the past 2 - 3 months. With periods of calm, some (very little, thank goodness) acute pains once in a while, and usually dull pain. 

I realized that the pain is sometimes forgotten when I am focused on work. So how real is it?

Just caught “The importance of being Earnest”. I hear that it’ll be traveling! yippy! 

Fab intelligent fun! You should all go see it!
