Three days in Singapore in a rush, and I’m off to Brisbane soon. 回家的感觉真好。Will be back to catch up with everyone properly when I’m back. Life is so sweet and much more appreciated after being away for almost a year. Staying in my new house here for the first time too. All these new+old+fresh+familiar feelings make my heart dance.

[Saw this Barbie Foot at Colette in Paris. Found out only after that when I returned to London that it was on display there for a week only. Maybe they could do an automated Transformers Foot.]

When you have a wholesome view in life, it’s easy to see beauty from all angles, be it the real thing or the shadows. Hurt people hurt people but those who know they are loved much, will also love much. Those who know much grace has been given to them, will also be gracious towards others.

What Is Not My Point Of View?

ι On the other side of the same thing

[In one of the Paris underground Metros, waiting for the train to arrive.]

Got an essay to write that’s due next Monday. It’s a literature review so I’m not supposed to give my point of view at all. I am going to be writing about disruptive innovation. It feels slightly strange to not be able to give my view/opinions after doing that for various academic pieces in the last few years. But yes, doing things differently or doing something “new” is always interesting and changes perspectives. I think not giving my point of view is going to change my point of view.
