The Mysterious Moon

ι A subtle mystery the moon is that makes her so elusive

The White Rose

ι White on white

Last Wednesday, my two dearest friends, Lauren and Lenise, surprised me with a pretty white rose in the middle of my studying at Starbucks. They actually had a debate over which color they each thought I’d like more. The rose is still sitting pretty on my table and deserves a long-life award for lasting till today.

Photo + Haiku Exhibition

Thanks to everyone who came down to visit my exhibition which was ongoing from 31 March to 04 April. It was really awesome considering this is the first time I ran an exhibition proper and also the first time I’ve paired photos with haikus. Thanks Nabilah for the wonderful haikus you wrote. Quite frankly, before we actually put up the exhibition at Frujch, before we had a tangible result to look at, I had no idea how it would turn out or if it would even look good at all. Thank God it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

After much discussion, Nabilah and I agreed on the unifying theme of time. This is because we’re both graduating students (I just had my final paper yesterday) and we’re at this stage in life where time means so much and we don’t know where time will bring us all. The first segment of the exhibition is time standing still and the second segment of the exhibition is time moving. Pretty much self-explanatory why we chose those two categories of time.

Orange Through the Wall

ι Light is brighter in the dark

This is how the patch of orange on the floor appeared out of nowhere in the car park. It shone from the sun through the hole in the wall, then through the front screen of the car at the upper deck, and bounced off the top of the car at the lower deck in an almost straight angle spanning across the car park. It’s amazing how light travels. It’s even more awesome that the theory of light shining ever more beautifully and brightly in darkness holds so much truth in this situation. Are you a light in the world around you today?

Orange On the Floor

ι Splotch of orange in the darkness

I just got home not too long ago and I saw this patch of orange out of nowhere in the almost totally dark car park. I was really curious how it found it’s way there. You wanna know too? Come back again tomorrow to see how the orange light was birthed.

The End’s Not Near, It’s Here

ι Act 2 from Giselle In The Park

It’s been a flurry of fulfilling events as I had my last week of lessons in school last week. From the Seniors Flash Mob to Starry Night to Frujch closing to doing a test at Starbucks. I’ve got lots of photos to update so stay tuned for them. Slowly but surely! For now, it’s studying for the last exam of my undergraduate life next Tuesday – Science, Exploration and Society. Cheers to Starbucks and study buddies.

I took the photo above two Fridays ago when I took a break amidst the madness of school by going for a ballet at Fort Canning with picnic baskets of wine and cheese and pasta and lots more. Right now I’m feeling like the mood of the picture. Chilly and pensive yet enjoying the mystery of the lateness of the night. All calm and peaceful yet heavy with expectations.
