Rooftop musings.

Today, finally, I took a trip up to the tenth level, sat there, soaking up a little sunshine, and mused. It’s been a really quick year, it’s already October. I cannot wait for the next year, to see what’s in store. Things have been moving, real quick, I’m struggling to catch up with myself and I will not fall behind. I like being constantly in motion, but I’m going to need a break soon. I can’t wait for some time out, with some heart to heart conversations and lazing around doing absolutely nothing, letting the mind wander. Oh, I can’t wait. November, hurry up and get here.

All we are, all we are.

Repositioning.

One of those days
You sit in a corner
The furthest from anything
Everything at all
Stare into blank canvases
Wishing’s not going to get you anywhere
So you paint
With all you have
Hope for the best

Wait for the free fall

Contemplating love.

I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m falling for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
And now I’ve found you
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m falling for you

Here’s a teaser for what’s coming next (:

I love doing shoots like that, it’s beautiful to see and capture; love.

20+1.

Today, I am reminded of love and grace.
I couldn’t ask for anything more than what I already have been given.
Thank You, for friends and family that remind you what 20+1 years have been about,
you all inspire me to live my life with love and passion
and encourage me to dream the impossible.
Here’s to 20+1;
We’re just starting out.

Stuck in bed thoughts #10

A clean desk and room means I gotta start work, eh?

Long roads.

The day is beautiful, sun’s out and the road in front of us keeps going, like it never ends. On our left is Dunstan Lake, it’s too blue for a river, no hint of brown or green. Blue to the point that you wonder if the sky had fallen in. Sparkles of sunshine play in the cerulean blue, like sparklers playing catch me if you can. Hills of greenish brown line the right side, with occassional cars darting past the perfect picture of sheep and cows grazing, minding their own business. We take our time, cruising at 100km/h, letting the wind toss our hair around and blow away our exchange of comments on the blue lake.We eventually decide to start singing at the top of our lungs, the over-played playlist, as it would be later known as. We sing along and drive, popping sour apples, gummy bears and tiny teddies, the sky is blue, the grass is green, the sun is out, for once, the world is ours.

Stuck in bed thoughts #19.

Sometimes starting from rock bottom makes you rock solid when you get there; someday.

Down:time.

So I’ve been pretty much in bed for all of about 5 days. Never knew that tonsilitis hurt this bad. I don’t think I have ever taken so many different kinds of drugs within such a short span of time. Also, I’ve had alot of time to think about alot of different things while just lying in bed trying to fight the pain. Ohwell, sometimes I guess we need a little downtime just to put things into perspective again.

The season is nearly over – I am really desperate to go boarding

44.

‘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.
