Golden Light

 


I like quiet moments where you can just sit and think about life, moments and the people that matter. Just a few days ago, I embarked on a ‘swim everyday for ten days leading right up till my flight to Singapore’ task (in preparation for how much I think I’ll be eating for the ten days in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur). So far I’ve managed to stick to five out of six days and I have discovered that I quite like the way my mind wanders when I’m swimming. It’s nice to have time to wonder about life like that.

To Scatter Like The Seagulls

This was taken just before sunset whilst walking across a bridge in Istanbul, hence the tinge of orange at the bottom of the photo. We were headed back to the hotel at the end of a day of a roaming and the seagulls were just roving over the city. Sometimes the feeling of familiarity is pretty liberating – to be free yet know where you belong.

Waiting And Pressing On


Hello April. Time really flies. It’s just three more weeks till I go home for a short but meaningful visit to my family in Singapore. As with most relationships in life, it’s not so much the quantity of time but quality of time spent together. I had two lovely phone conversations with my grandpa in Singapore and my grandma in China this morning and I’m really looking forward to seeing them again. They’re such beautiful people, even with their imperfections, just for who they are to me.

Apparently with the recent sad incidents in Japan, some people have been shaken to quit their lifelong jobs that they’ve taken so long to build up just so they can spend time with the people who are close to them. I think that’s a beautiful thing. Too often in life, we wait till it’s too late to do things that matter with people that matter. My advice is…don’t wait too long – relationships are meant to be treasured.

P.s. On a separate note, I recently submitted an entry to a photography open call, and if you like what you see, please hit up a few votes for me. http://www.3rdwardopencall.com/jacquelinechang

Greenwich

I spent a weekend in Greenwich. It felt so different from London. It was almost as if I had been transported to somewhere in America or Australia. We walked through side streets and alleyways around the corner. Then we spotted this car parked in between a dance school and a catering warehouse. The two sticks come out from the back of the car make it seem as though the car has magic wings that will send it flying any time.
