O God Of Fortune

for so long

you

were never and still are not a weighty force in my life

nor were and are you important to me

right from the bottom of my heart

and perhaps one day you might come to read this

(i secretly and wickedly hope you do)

Glassy-Eyed

the visit to the fish market was something, different

different because i never had so much fish-water splashed onto my legs in my life, different because people were stepping and tripping (very few times though) over fish everywhere, different because there were huge fish that stuck out frozen at grotesque angles, different because there were fish as big as you (okay three-quarters maybe), different because the prawns kept jumping ohgawd, different because my dad who plays with his useless fat goldfish every day had to hold and chop the salmon that we bought and he actually was a little apprehensive

i only had my phone with me so i could only manage limited pictures in the most discrete fashion (after all paiseh la i mean it’s a place where people work what a joke if i had brought my camera)

that night the moon hung down right above the fishing boats, it would have made the perfect picture though

fresh seafood for chinese new year woohooooo!!!

if i were a little braver i would be a fisherman out in the raging seas hauling back the freshest ikan bilis for you

to the first ever to turn twenty,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUITIAN!

you da Number One :)

—

it was probably one of the few sporadic times i have ever seen you this pushy, and it was pretty much unexpected
like experiencing the understated bitter aftertaste of an inadvertent raw orange peel that clings to the sweet citrus

also i have completed the fastest and possibly worst ever Statement i have written, and the To-Do List remains -
Better
More

Elevator, Elevator, Take Me Home

at that point in time at that very moment they sang it it seemed the unequivocal truth and its exactness took me away as though i have never heard it before, like Liberation renewed

i love stars and their awesome burst of musical infusion and the way they make you feel

and we will wear funky shirts next time! (stupid people behind who ended up upstaging us)

Worlds Within

set in style and realism – the unadulterated and tangible issues in life and love of yours and mine
it is so odd and so provocative to finally see bits of Real Life on screen, both the beautiful and the ugly, all that we make out of our own hands

and hyun bin with song hye kyo – what an awesome match!

also they were actually here in Singapore to film for a few days running across chinatown and the asian civilisations museum and fullerton
had i known that earlier instead of having retrieved this information from the newspaper the day after they have left, i would have GONE THERE AT MAYBE 3AM WITH A MEGA CAMERA AND A KOREAN SCRIPT FROM WHICH I WILL COMMUNICATE WITH THEM BY

we could have been friends!!! damn

paint a heart repeating, beating “don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up”

so small a turning
the world grows older every day
an ache, a yearning
soften when i hear you say

all that i want, all that i want

and when the cold wind’s blowing
snow drifts through the pine trees
in houses lights are glowing
likewise in your eyes that find me here

with all that i want

to a new year and a new start
meaning better grades, better finances, better future prospects, better us and people (who should know best to leave me alone thanks), better relationships, better food, better effort, better giving
edited: and of course better korean dramas!!!

happy new year pull your ear! (quote yams)

and i hope with all my heart that we can and will all be happy

better be!

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOONIE!!!

because you’re special that way :D
