On my way to some quietness and greenery; finally some space to contemplate.

‘Gem upon the sea’
Today I watched Singaporeans in Melbourne gathered to watch the celebrations for her 44th birthday, we said the pledge at 10.22pm, sang all the classic songs, did the KallangWave. As I sat and watched, I remembered the days that Dad used to take us to the parade, how he used to cover my ears during the gunfire and fireworks, how I accumulated goodie bags year after year, torches of all shapes and sizes, and how I would be asleep at the back of the car even before we got out of the massive jam after the parade. My whole life has been lived on that island, all my memories are there. Perhaps for once in quite a while, I miss home. Tonight, was just a tiny piece, reminding me of what I have and of what I look forward to. Thank you, happy birthday; and I can’t imagine what tomorrow will bring.
Before I go go…

Leave it all behind.

Once again for the fourth time in three hours, I find myself staring at a blank space of my wall imagining myself to be somewhere else rather than here. I wonder what has happened to me. I seemingly need more bandages both metaphorically and literally to patch up those parts of me that has been broken. I probably couldn’t count every scar on two hands and two feet. Caught up in between dreaming and sleeping, life has gotten me to this place where nothing really moves, just time, really.
I’m walking down a crowded NY street. It’s Christmas in the city. Like, really Christmas. Snow, everyone huddled up in heavy trenchcoats and colourful mittens, holding cups of hothotchocolate. Boots crunching in the snow; etc. I’ve always wanted to spend a Christmas in NY, just because. The pretty shop windows, with all the Christmas lights, every kid on the street peering into shops and pressing their noses against the glass, and drawing smiley faces in their condensed breaths. Heck, the snow is a good enough reason for me to want to be there. I’d spend hours skating at Rockafella Centre, in front of the huge Christmas tree, watching people glide along ice, some hand in hand, others just smiling and being content with the fact that tis’ the season to be jolly, like me. Then maybe sit at some random bench in Central Park, counting down, wondering and wishing.
Snap back to real time. Wanderlust has to wait. I need to get myself out of this rut first before I can move anywhere else. It definitely is taking longer than usual. Be there to pull me out please?
All around.

I realised that I haven’t posted anything much about whats been going on, so here goes:
-It’s been… a little crazy, out of whack, but had pretty much an awesome week.
-Sometimes… it feels like I’m sitting around waiting for something good to happen.
-Always… wondering and hoping, perhaps.
-Will be… starting school again tmw, and I am so not ready for the semester to really kick in, gosh, nine weeks with no breaks.
-Should… really be sleeping right now, but once again, can’t seem to, might be the pain in my legs, but who knows.
-Might… just, lie back and take a bit of a breather.
-Will… do just that.
Poloroid.

Snapshots,
Look, listen
Heartbeating, rhythm,
Time.
Quick, swift
Fast paced
Moments swept,
Away, miles
Apart, away,
Distance.
Heart, mine
Yours
Ours.
Want, need
Cry for
Miss,
Much.
As always.
Watching and writing.

Wedding Bells.
December 9, 2007
Our recent trip to Brisbane was with one purpose only: To see Ming and Claire get married. Well, along the way, we did have fun. Plenty of chilling and bumming out. But of course, the best part of the trip was the wedding itself. Seeing your longtime friend, someone you’ve grown up with, getting married is somewhat surreal. To me at least. Everything has sorta just whambamboom, went by so fast, that you almost forget to capture those small moments. Someone said that weddings aren’t just a celebration of a union of two people, but a celebration of friendship and relationships altogether. And this time round, I think it held true for all of us childhood friends. Having grown up together in the same church, we’ve gone through the worst, and the best of our lives. Sure, we did part ways at some point of time, but hey, look where we are now(:
To Ming and Claire, I wish you all the love, in Christ.
PS. I will get the photos up soon-ish, hope you love them and can’t wait for part II!
