go away, restlessness

Things have been moving rather slowly these two weeks... nothing eventful, everything
seems dull and i have no energy or interest for anything.

Restlessness has creeped in and i think it’s going to stay on for a while.

missing bits, 2011

View from my window. The grey skies (and rain) was here almost everyday for the whole
of November and December and many people was complaining about it. But i thought it was
nice since we hardly have any cool weather here.

Checking out new cafe in my neighbourhood

A short walk at the neighbourhood just before the rain.

On the way to work meetings

Japanese snacks and packaging rocks!

Christmas pressies for mum and dad

Deceiving gift packaging that i wrapped. The content has no relation to Paris at all :p

Fooling around with my niece... which i foresee will continue in 2012 :)

Christmas dinner at home

Niece, dad and me

Gifts i received

New coat of paint for my block

Once in a while grocery shopping

stroke

Bold strokes calligraphy/art that are quite therapeutic to look at.

the burning gaze

A well spent day at the Singapore Art Museum on Christmas day. This was one of the best

exhibitions i’ve seen this year, so glad i managed to make it on the last day. For those

who’ve missed it, do check out the interview of the artist and footage of the exhibition here.

“...With Kang’s paintings, it is not the surface that matters, but the way the dramatic

images overwhelm and evoke emotional responses in the viewer through their large

scale, saturated colouring and frequent distortions of perspective...”

a date (down orchard road) on christmas day

These pictures were taken in mind for a christmas card that i planned to make for a friend.

Since my friend wasn’t around for christmas this year, i thought it would be a good idea to

show him what orchard road looks like. But i’ve been falling ill so much these two months

and didn’t get to finish shooting till few days ago. Then work started coming in (two new

projects this week) and there just wasn’t time for me to make the card... maybe next year...

To all my dear friends, Merry Christmas and happy holidays! xx

stepping into nostalgia

Followed my friends to JB last Saturday to visit Roost Juice + Bar, a cafe that she

discovered during her previous trip. Once inside, it’s as though we’ve stepped back

into times.
