I finally understood why my father (who spent 3 of his best working years in Japan) never appreciated modern pop.

Outside The Snow Globe
All taken by the irresponsible Karmour who really left me to the video camera. And in the 1st picture, she does looks like a goddess (with the hands and all).
I've love kitschy!

Saw this on a lj and I remembered watching it two years ago in the theatre.
From the ending song: "We live from day to day, our desires, our loves. We go without knowing we are always in the same story."

In Production
I'm trying my hand at 'cinematography'. Had a disappointing first day. (How do you work with jerky tripods?) Thanks to Alvin for the photographs. (I treated them to explore the different colour correction possibilities.)
This time into the semester is always the time when I find myself questioning my choice of FINANCE and SMU. It is interminable.

If you have came across these spreads, they were shot by me.

In the absence of functioning streetlights, the train above passed like a speeding glow worm.

08 October 2008
We were swimming today when the sun gave way to the dusky leaden clouds. We persisted on the deck chairs but the sporadic yet obese raindrops fell like pellets to our faces and we decided to seek solace in a hot sauna room. He left after we debated if the rocks on the sauna machine was hot enough for the water. (I felt it wasn't but he continued pouring ladles of water anyway.) That was when I was alone in the sauna room that took its time to heat. It's been a while since I've been left alone anywhere. And I just thought I needed to remember that I had these two hours spent truly alone, alternating from the profuse perspiration in the sauna room to the casual cool of the pool in the drizzle, because it is times like this that I am reminded that sensations, regardless of intensity, would fade.

Over lunch, D commented that after moving in with J, he could no longer spend the night at his own home. He was unused to sleeping alone. I was happy for them and a little hopeful also that I would someday be unaccustomed to my single pillow and duvet. I started sketching an architectural interior of our house and allocated private areas that would belong to each of us. Yours would be filled with movies, mine with pictures and books. Our common space was music, and hence a sound system, perhaps, beside the bed. C appealed we should never forsake the east. How could I? - it is where the coast, the shoreline is.

When we returned and sat together on the concrete bench, I saw you smile like it was the first time. Who would have thought that more than a year later, we would have to throw all our plugs into the water, but unlike the anglers, we leave them unattached... to submerge. We didn't wait for the lighthouse. We no longer needed its directions.
At that moment, I was overjoyed because I knew that we were healed.
