While Waiting

First 15 min: fiddle with phone, clear inbox, clear outbox,
Next 15 min: Send random smses no one replies.
After: Take out laptop and/or space out, otherwise known as stone. Try not to fidget.

I turned

And you were there.
For a moment, I panicked, wondering if I should greet you, or pretend not to have noticed.
And I hate that you still have this effect on me.

The Neverending Process

Sometimes, I wish I could be blunt. Layers upon layers, all of them me, but disjointed. Put them together, and there is a moment of enlightenment. Turn away, and again they don’t make sense.
Forward and back, left and right. When will this dance stop? Treading in between truth and lies, waiting for the right moment. [...]

Back into the Drone

Freshman orientation starts in a little over a week, and after that, school. For almost two weeks, catching up with friends who’ve been far far away. Back into the easy banter, wishing it didn’t have to end. When school starts, the circle changes again.
A slow process, figuring myself out, and it’s nice to know that [...]

Update from Paris

I haven’t written or posted any photos recently because I’ve been too tired. Day after day, there’s lessons, and then going to visit places, and then when I get back, it’s being grilled by my host on where I went. Alone time has been scarce.
To make it worse, I haven’t had the energy or will [...]

Commentary

Summer is slowly making itself felt, but the cold weather still persists for most of the day. At night, the sun’s heat, gathered over the course of the day, loses it’s effectiveness. Time is relative, daylight stretches for more than 16 hours until it loses it’s grip.
So far, all the locals I’ve met have been [...]

In Macs

My McChicken tastes exactly the same. The things I do for internet access. Dinner party in less than an hour and I spend S$12.30 on a meal here. Won’t have time to upload photos I think, not if I want to finish all my goals for the half hour I have left.
I’m staying outside of [...]

Summer 2008 - Getting There

The plane ride, at least the first long haul one, was a little scary, I sat next to this guy who kept drinking and asking for more vodka, throwing a little fuss at the flight crew in the process. He was perfectly respectful to me, but it was nice that the crew seemed concerned for [...]

Damn.

After my lecture played this song (the video’s kinda creepy, but that’s one perspective, and there are layers underneath which I’m not going into) in class on monday. I don’t want to listen to Celine Dion sing anymore – in english.

Loss

A man dies far away, and millions mourn.
A story still in the process of being told, its creator unable to finish.
Disparate reactions from fans and detractors.
Worry about their own pleasure in the final product.
Some want change, others for it to stay true.
When the most important,
Should be the grief over the loss of a life,
And not [...]
