Strange. I saw this design online a few weeks back. Then I thought about this design last night. Today on my way to meet angelamori (yay food and shopping!), I saw a guy wearing a shirt, with this design on it.

( i want to be friends. )

I only have one expression for this: Oh snap!

I am posting.

Can't really remember the last time I posted, but I realised today that this account is on automatic payment? The ways I waste my money...

The last couple of days have been very difficult - work has been keeping me busy, running in between the upcoming Steve McCurry's exhibition meetings and preps, firming things up for this conservation exhibition in July and the bane of it all - Singapore River Festival. Despite the museum not taking an executive role for this festival, we sure are having way too much headache over this tiny event. Friday had me stuck in a meeting from 2.30pm to 6pm, with me running to have a very brief discussion with the designer for publicity collaterals, in between those meetings.

Being busy is good though. It keeps my mind off things. There is something that I really do not want to think about - and it involves someone. You know how when everybody says, "I wish you all the best of luck with him. Gosh, I hope things work out." Then you find yourself crossing fingers, for the first time, in a long time. Then when things do not work out, everybody says, "He's such a moron. What a douchebag. He will regret it. Forget him. SCRAPE THE WUSS." But then people are not robots, you know? If only we have a switch on/off. If only we can press rewind, and pause at our favourite parts.

Maybe "everybody" is right. You are such a moron. You're a douchebag. You will regret this. I am going to forget you. SCRAPE YOU, WUSS.

Now I just have to believe all that.

pee ess: this also means i'll be on a hiatus from my, well, hiatus. i don't know what to say these days anyway. i'm sorry this entry is such a depressing one. if i could, i'll reach out and hug every one of you. thanks for all your messages of "hey how are yous". ilu always! ♥

pee pee ess: i'll be back for Nino Day. :)

there is a light shining far ahead
these things do not add up at all
                 carry me home
stray light in the sky and we
whisper words sharp like nails
in that box, "stay."
cutting heart-shaped papers
made of bark from a tree
and a boy who lies for beauty queens

we are dancing on a planet
to a music with no name
i hold the back of your neck
and we prove love does not exist

is it true that hearts break like the desert
these grains of sand remind me of you
soft and smooth then dry and coarse
they do not stick to my fingers like you do

maybe a stick of cigarette would look better
in between these slender fingers
than alphabets for words from me to you
lost in nine other languages we do not speak

i write my poems on stones by the beach
but the sea keeps washing them away
punch me in the heart and stars remain bright
i cannot keep you inside tonight
