days by the sea // 在海边吃风的日子。

i have always loved living near the sea/straits/coast and occasionally when quite far and quite away, the ocean.

坐在海边吹海风的感觉真爽。

The Photographers' Stories "I don't remember much about that holiday. Just you and me, and that beautiful dappled light."

it is titled,

"I don't remember much about that holiday.
Just you and me, and that beautiful dappled light."

实在地实现？

我想，设计也包括帮忙他人实实在在地完成他们只能够在脑里想或言语上形容的概念吧。不懂这想法会不会有一点阿Q?

说走就走！

今天终于有机会继续读我在台湾的SEVEN买的书。 那是本关于一对父子用步行环绕台湾全岛的真实记绿。 看着书中的爸爸拍摄的照片， 我突然感觉到一个要翻翻我自己不久前在台湾所拍摄的画面的冲动。很奇秒， 原本累透的我竟然又充满了熬夜的力量。 我想这也算是种爱的动力吧！感谢主赐给我这种因爱创造而比较不会累的力量。可是我毕竟还是人， 明天必需上任另一种创造之类的工作， 今晚还是先休息明晚再继续比较对自己对工作负责任吧。

那台湾的照片就得拭目以待咯。。。

(just had to let this out of my mind before going quite far and quite away and looking for other maybe better ways to translate this feeling photographically. see you all in 20 days!)

the tree that kenahded // while i was not far, but away.

this was one of the first things i noticed the morning after i got back from genting last friday. i took a photo then and some line from a jack johnson song floated to mind. i checked on it again this morning after talking about it last night or rather some time earlier this morning. the tree didn't resurrect. some construction work has been going on at the front of this secret fenced up field i spy on from my window. i just hope they don't kill the field into another mammoth condo....just like the one i live in.



at least the mysterious grass circles i quite often wonder about are still there... but i guess they might have once been great trees too...

the remains of the may

oke here's a quickpick of the events i have been caught up with.... i really need to stop filling up my weeks with nonstop days but then again i am glad that i.....


....shot portraits of my classmates for our gradshow and gradbook. i think these were the more tame shots, haha to see more power ones please go get a copy of our gradbook or well, ask me lah. heh. and i also put together this contact sheet as a farewell thingy for our power thesis tutor who went back home to finland a few weeks back.


.........caught a concert that i have been waiting for for the longest time haha. suffice to say, he is one of my favourites.




............performed with our friends in the lindy hop club in school at the university cultural centre. it was a blast! thanks to all who came down to support us in our little two minute debut haha. and yeah also realised i should probably start learning to differentiate eye shadow from wood dust after feeling totally lost backstage during make-up time...


.....................and survived our grad show at Central. yeah we sleepover in studio, we also sleepover at our own shows. must jagah our stuff overnight marh.. and sorry that i didn't do my invitations for this very thoroughly cos i was just stuck in nonstop days the past month....i promise that all of you will get proper invites in advance for the next show i am involved in, whatever wherever it'll be when it does happen!


and somewhere amidst all the madness above we also managed to run the sundown marathon...oke so we ran the team challenge which was just 10.5km each lah but still it was quite a feat considering we hadn't run such lengths for a long time. running at night was a lot easier as compared to the realrun we ran in the morning at sentosa two years back though so heh maybe we'll go for the marathon next year..but that'll definitely need a lot of real training....


so thank God for the past month, the past years, the many moments and the life ahead and beyond that wouldn't happen at all without Him!

i will be doing some goingaways in june/july. this time not far, but away. first to a church camp in awana genting from the 9th to the 13th and then to taiwan with the IDiots tentatively from the 23rd to the 11th. so catch me if/while you can!
