time to reset my room // photos from february and march 2008.

oke now that 4 years of school is pretty much over except for gradshow which will happen at the end of the month, i finally have some real time for myself and my family and my see less often but still love as much friends.

but first, i need to reset my room, back to the roomwithaview ikeacataloguesque glory it can be found in after a good packing session (usually around chinese new year) because my room is a place where i can......


see a stairway to heaven in a bleach accident.


be reminded to occasionally transcend reality by an oldschool old school exit sign.


find relief in my very limited floor space.


jolt memories with things i don't use so much now but still keep.
(muji slippers from koala for sweden and pseudo japanese blue and white ah mah slippers from the market.)


and thrive in some sort of (regularly but rarely) organised chaos.

hrmm come by sometime, i think we can fit about 2 humans and 10 beers in here comfortably haha.

oke oke no more beer, 10 ....... cups of good tea or whatever other goodstuffneverbluff lah.

like they say, design is a family affair...

when channelling my seamstress roots failed, my mum who used to run a sewing school with her sisters stepped in. would not have survived without her.


not the most willing models, but ever caring. heh. my brother and my aunt in between moments of simulated interaction haha.


well i guess God is familyandmore too. this verse encouraged me through many a difficult night and has secretly become a part of my prototype heh.

and then there's family that you can choose - aka the good people you are blessed with as great friends. 远亲不如近邻。really true man. thank yous. the supernear, quitenear, notasnearbutgotcar and previouslyquitenear. :]

Jehovah-jireh. God has provided and thus i have survived. to God be the glory. thank You.




(and woohoo!!! can lindy anytime again now! haha priorities, priorities......oke and can taf club full-time again too. heh. joy!)

you know you've been sitting on your bum too long when...

..... your chair systematically falls apart in front of you.

many days on my bum in front of the computer = broken chair......such is the thesis disease. not long more!! i hope!

friendly neighbourhood photographer

unexpected rain // early early 11th april 2008.

there were sharper pictures in the set. but hey sharper pictures and feeling sianded about unexpected rain at seven in the morning were never quite the best of friends anyway...

while waiting for friendly neighbourhood friends to arrive for a saturday morning unwindmymind swim.

my auntie tells me she wanted to get my dad to take photos of us doing our pseudo synchronised swimming moves, but unfortunately the camera was not whipped out in time. (er....thankfully...or not..)
