sometimes

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

sometimes, I have fantasies of being all alone. Fantasies that i indulge in as it seems like the next best thing to do.

aren’t fantasies meant to be indulged in?

to see the change

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

it’s hard to explain how it was like to have known a friend for so long for what he is, yet only realizing that he hadn’t known it himself. To me, it’s one of life’s mysteries.

“After searching for so long, this is always what I’ve wanted to do.” “You know, I’ve been dressing up since I was 8!”

Life comes back in cycles.

Below are images of this journey. It was all found during a preparation for a concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Gorgeous. Adventurous.

Since turning 40 this year, I’ve been searching for myself. As if ‘myself’ no longer exist. As if “myself’ was actually someone else out there.
Someone told me about  “mid-life crisis”. Gosh, I wondered.
In this journey of “myself”, things will change, things will be different, while at the same time, I knew that things will be a lot more innocent and simpler.
Along the way, I’ll meet really interesting and delicious people.
People I know I will never be.
People I know I’ve been before.
People I know that will inspire me.
People I know who might be my muse even.
Sometimes, I’ll probably need to shout out that difference to others.”This is who I am!”
Sometimes, I should just be with the others to hear what they are saying of my performance so far.
Sometimes, I really just shouldn’t care.
So what if I were to just disappear tomorrow? Who knows what the next second brings?
I used to think about who I am:
“I am an introvert that’s really good at being an extrovert.” I’ll say..
I am becoming less and less of an extrovert.
I am becoming more and more of an introvert.
I am enjoying this journey of being older and wiser.
Maybe it’s just me becoming who I really want to be - the quiet introvert who cares too much for the world and worrying about carrying all that weight by myself. I like to observe more than interfere now. I want to talk as much as I want to listen now. The things I experience and hear makes me understand what I’m going through is really a path well trodden.
The new me should be carefree, and weightless.
And happy.

Melting Rose and Phyllocatus

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Had this rose in my room that began to wilt in the most amazing way.. remind me of Dali (he of the melting watch and spoon and landscapes). Then a few days later, had this other plant that was kinda doing something like that.

offended

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Caught Frozen flower about a week ago, and was really, really offended by the audience.

Sensitive scenes where the King professes his love for his general were treated with rambunctious laughter. Scenes where the two of them are making out, giggles. And it was just about a great number of people in the cinema that reacted this way!

Gosh. The quality of audience needs to be improved!
