New Year

Somehow, I don’t know how, its the last day of the year!
Right now, I’m frantically trying to get my hands on one of those Moleskin 2009 planner at PageOne which are going for 40% off.
Aside from post-Christmas/end-of-year sales (and there are many), I’d also been concerned with my rapid acquisition of a premature quarter-life [...]

Bicycles & Giant Shades

Once upon a time, I wrote exhaustively long and detailed captions for all of my photographs because I believed (then) that pictures should always be contextualized by words. I’m compulsive obsessive about capturing what’s just outside the frame.

Shoes & Wonderlust

I’m supposed to be at supper with The Girls at Serangoon Gardens now.
But I suddenly got tired and really wanted to stay in to watch TV and read.

Venice Sinks Again

Venice just experienced its biggest flood in 22 years. Its pretty funny seeing photos of masculine, grown men wearing tigh-high wellies.

When I visited in the Spring of ‘07, it was warm, humid and sticky. It’s the Other Europe, so [...]

So This Is Christmas

I think that the best part about Christmas is the scent of fresh, crisp wrapping paper.
Its the scent of anticipation, promise and small delights!

Random Stuffs

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow,
White snow.
- Violet Hill, Coldplay
Right now, I love this song.

Last night, my mad friends (and I) finished up 2/3 of my bottle of absinthe.
Which explains why I feel a little stoned now.
And it tastes like shit without the sugar right?
