i'm depressed

i'm depressed cos i realised that i've been so busy with work i cant remember the last time i met or spoke to my friends back in my secondary school in malacca. I was browsing through friendster and decided to look at their latest photos to update myself and boy do they look different!
and there's this caption below the photo which struck me.. it says ' i luv these people' and there it was, a photo of my friend Angela with her group of friends in one of the universities in Korea. and i thought to myself... 8 years back, it would have been a photo of her with me and all our friends in school. and then there were photos of herself and her boyfriend whom i dont even know the name. it really amazed me how distance could be so detrimental to relationships. i looked at her photos and all the rest and i felt like a stranger,
and i miss being the old me when i was one of them.
and i miss the times when we used to laugh at the lamest jokes
and the times when we skipped class so often
and i miss our silly conversations

why do we have to grow up and head towards different directions?
i dont know how many of you actually read or even know about this blog,
but if any of you do, i really miss you guys a lot
and i really hope to see ALL of you again

it started off as a point
and there was nothing else but the point
then gradually it began to extend
to two lines moving at different directions
the two lines continued moving further and further away from their origin
and away from each other
and then came this realisation
that these two lines could never converge anywhere else
but the point of origin

i would kill for hands like theirs

fascinating surrealism

feels as though he's going to open his eyes anytime and stare at you from your computer

"he's all i ever need"

you know how sometimes people think that their partner is all they ever need in life
and everything else doesn't seem to matter anymore
i think that's pretty disappointing

yuck

i'm beginning to dislike this part of me

that's becoming increasingly superficial each day

archi visit to the dragon kiln and organic farm

today, the year 3 architecture students had an 'excursion' to the dragon kiln to learn and do some hands-on on pottery. I tried and it was pretty fun.. not as easy as it seemed apparently..
anyway, below is a picture of the kiln, where the clay pots are burned and dried.. wood pieces are fed into the fire through the holes to maintain the high temperature required.
the interior of the kiln, which was pretty tight and warmand i saw this.. you know sometimes when you take a photo, its so beautiful that it doesnt need any photoshopping? i think i've finally manage to capture one..


some demonstration on the proper techniques
the second visit was to the organic farm called 'the bollywood farm' apparently it got its name from its owner.. who has traces of Indian blood in her.. anyway i was more interested in the unplanned growth instead

fungi in different colours

a short stop at the pond within the farmencounter with the breadfruit tree. so that's where we got our bread!
journey back to the university

i can almost swear

that i saw my sister-look-alike today!
just that she's the grown-up-and-sportier version of my sister
other than that, she looks just like her!
i was really stunned
haha oh man...

why i like collecting them when i was little

because they are so pretty
aren't they?
