i am often intrigued by spaces which are abnormally empty. like a street amongst busy factories on a saturday morning. an office space suddenly evacuated for renovation. or a hidden corner in the middle of a tourist hotspot. 是空空荡荡，却嗡嗡作响. that's a line from a 李宗盛's latest song. and that is exactly what i am trying to say.

so this evening i had corrinne may's cd (i got for christmas) playing. the curtain was flapping lightly to the breeze, which was keeping the air strangely cool. i had nothing on my mind, and nothing to do. i lied down to daydream a little. and then dozed off. perhaps it's a little bit of festive fatigue, or a general get-back-to-work siansation. or the pleasantly cool weather of late. i had a

苏打绿的‘各站停靠’演唱会感觉很舒服。看着他们在台上表演的样子，想必就是追逐梦想的样子。梦想的背后是怀疑和彷徨。璀璨的背后是坚持和勇气。所以看着他们，我的感觉是羡慕，也是感动。所以看他们表演，感觉那么踏实，那么舒服。这个十二月有很多好吃的，好买的，好玩的。连续两个周一拿假想好好休息，整理整理房间，打理打理思绪。到最后还是出门消费去了。房间没有整理好，反而越来越乱。新的一年又要到了。年头许下的resolution，没有实现。那天读报纸有一位名人说他觉得 new year resolutions 没有什么意义，因为生活是需要每天监督的，不单单靠一些特别的日子。我想他说的也不没道理。可是我还想为明年set一set resolution。即使这只是给自己整理思绪的动力，设计梦想的理由。

今天去了guardian一趟。走了一圈，拿了所有需要买的药物跟补品。付钱的时候才恍然发现天啊！原来自己需要医，需要补的地方还真不少。每次想到时间过得有多快的时候，都有一种莫名的恐惧。不是害怕长大。只是害怕苍老的过程是静悄悄的。静悄悄地连自己都不知道究竟发生了什么事。还是多多运动，减缓老化。也还是多多旅行，读读书。也是为了减缓老化。“绕着操场一圈圈时间过了一年又一年”-卢广仲的新ep, nice to meet you

今晚下的雨感觉很舒服。刚写给singtel的email里面用了appalled 这个字眼。琐碎的事情很恼人。不顺心的事情很恼人。不顺心的琐碎事是恼恼人。晚餐的unagi 很不错。见到多时不见的友人，谈起当年在北京chillax的咖啡座已经换名了。四个人当中两个换工作了。午餐本来要吃出名的ramen。谁知道外面排着一行上班族。原来不止我们想在 tgif 的精神下吃个好的。上班的路途中因为睡不着所以掏出手机看了看ted talk。演讲人谈的是他做moving sculpture的经历。他的作品有一种很precise, 很simple的美丽。就好像他的热忱一样。昨晚睡前调了调闹钟。本来周五是跑步天，但想想还是睡多一点。因为累了一点。睡一整晚没有做梦。没有做梦。

今晚加班加到办公室只剩下我一个人。拔出耳机，只听到电风扇的翁翁声，和远处reverse bungee传来的尖叫声。我倒吸一口气，很用力地把头往后仰。突然间视线好像被拉得很远很远。好像从远处以第三者的身份在观察坐在电脑荧光幕前面的自己。尝试想整理思绪。越想越累。唉，还是收工回家吧。

今晚的空气中弥漫着一股浓浓的闷热。夏日炎炎，需要一点ono lisa。一点点慵懒的。一点点昏昏的。

今年春节加上除夕的礼拜六, 放了总共四天的假. 之前很盼望,是因为四天加起来的96个钟头, 听起来是很奢侈的.新年假期总是过得很快. 可能是吃喝玩乐的时光很容易过. 也可能新年总是忙忙碌碌的.很多活动和准备,很少时间和从容.今早起床, 有种跟时空分离的感觉. 只因为过去几天没有想工作. 没有读报纸. （也没有fb.）现在有点累. 想想明天上班应该很不容易.可是每年那一次盲目的哗然, 就好像旅行一样, 强硬地把我从朝九晚五反复的生活抽离出来.抽离出来看看平时很少见到的人们, 了解平时很少接触的人生.抽离出来做做平时不想做的事情, 想想平时触不到的角落.

最近有一点行尸走肉。适应新环境总是辛苦的。好像很多朋友都不在新加坡。当兵的老buddy在印度公干。最近在msn跟我炫耀了他一个人跑到千里之外的taj mahal 。已经很久很久没有听他那么滔滔不绝了。他的启发，我在屏幕的这一端，深深地感受到。老同学突然宣布要到深圳工作。老亲戚决定去台北看苏打绿和五月天的演唱会。那股浓浓的期待还有淡淡的快乐ness，我也是感受得到。北京认识的老同乡在yale念书。问他怎样了。他说早上上课，晚上喝酒露营。我说很爽喔。还叫他要好好的玩，因为他的生活比我的精彩。有一股冲动想环游世界。有一股冲动想做义工。有一股冲动想读本小说。有一股冲动想买ipod nano.有一股冲动想写部落格。有一股冲动想明早起床阳光一点:)《他夏了夏天》 苏打绿几点钟 结束梦 他按下闹钟如往常 开始了一天生活忙工作 忙收穫 早餐吃什麽他和他

台北的咖啡。九份的茶。最近好像很多人都去台湾了。包括我的家人在内。原来自己去台湾已经是差不多一年前的事了。很奇怪的，总觉得好像刚去不久。在翻照片的时候，发现有好几张很有感觉 - 是一年前整理照片的时候没有感觉到的。好像重新认识了那次的旅行。现在在读的这本书，说回忆，跟当时的现实状况往往是有很大的落差的。嗯。我想也是。今晚想起台北的咖啡和九份的茶，格外舒服。

the on-going AWARE saga caught my attention for several reasons. partly maybe cos of the melodramatic turn of events. partly maybe also cos how the new camp is releasing information so slowly and as a result, leaving a lot to imagination.but most importantly i think it reflects something i find disturbing. i know a lot of pple who wholeheartedly accept their truth as the only truth. i cannot

一张照片。一句话。一首歌。都可以勾起排山倒海的回忆。激起无与伦比的梦想。只是日复一日的人生总是让人没有勇气去应付这一切美好的过去和未知。anw. 周六就是陈绮贞的演唱会了。蓄势待发。

caught a midnight oscar movie marathon thing with the childhood friend last weekend. and for the first time ever, fell asleep in the cinema. during the last show- 'the dark knight'. not that it's any bad - it's just that it was the second time i was watching it, and damn it, it was already 4am.'the wrestler' was the first movie of the evening, and the one show which i enjoyed tremendously. it was

昨晚跟一群旧同学和新朋友吃晚餐。饭后我们坐在河边聊天。聊到last bus 为止。今天工作了一整天，刚刚才懒洋洋地想起还是快把合照upload上网。迟些就一定忘记的。我看照片的我们。24小时前的我们。我想想24小时后的我们。现在的我们。我照样上班，照样计划着下一个周末。有人现在在露营。也有人已经飞到世界的另一个角落了。

礼拜四在上班的途中经过牛车水。时间是七早八早，所以卖年货的街道是空空荡荡的。我漫游狭窄的街道，感觉莫名其妙地爽朗。天空有淡淡的浅蓝色，暖暖的金黄色，和之间很ambiguous的美丽。有几个人在一间著名的饼家店门外排队。整条街也只有那间饼家正缓缓地准备开门做生意。有一个红毛旅人持着相机站在陈旧的楼梯前面打量很久。那么早起来的游客很有诚意。有一群老人在做晨运。他们三五成群的。嘴巴动得比手脚还快。有一伙工人坐在临时舞台的前面，谈笑风生。他们应该是要为除夕夜做准备的。有一位笑脸迎人的气球财神爷在早晨的寒风中缓缓地摇摆。他的体积很大，看起来也很开心。我仰头望着天，用力地倒吸一口气。是附近巴刹的鱼腥味。

2009了。元旦的第一刻，我跟childhood friend 看烟火。我默默地在博物馆外面看着遥远的烟火，心里面什么都没在想。可能因为烟火那么遥远，所以那么美丽。五月天的演唱会很high。很奇怪的，当有6000个人一起喊生命有一种绝对的时候，对自己的执着好像会变更坚持一点点的。上周末打麻将很顺利。真希望不是今年我爱情运的启示。跟麻将脚们叙旧的同时，想起生活与快乐，想起options和happiness. 也想起unbearable lightness of being 这本书。北京的朋友的msn：现在在世界的哪个角落？我说在新加坡窒息，然后问他现在在干嘛。他说在北京窒息。会心一笑啊。陈绮贞要出新专辑了。刚听了她的新歌，很是喜欢。一直repeat,为4月的演唱会暖暖身。

很累了。有几晚没有睡好。忙着工作，也很想努力地生活。天气很凉。是晚上下的一场雨带来的微风。空气中弥漫着方大同的歌。我越听越爽。突然间想起垦丁的那间旅社。想起那边的青春活力。想起那边的夏日炎炎。想起有一晚我和旅人坐在小木屋外面，全身是海水和疲惫。很努力地把拖鞋往地面打，想把沙子打掉。却不知道裤带里面也是装着满满的沙粒。我不知道要用什么词汇来形容现在的想念，所以只好用这个画面来表达。反正这种回忆，我想是让人会心一笑的那种。唉其实也真没什么。可能是年末了。所以多愁善感。

年末了。不好的世界大事，天天有报纸新闻朋友会提醒。美好的回忆，却是需要努力维持的。年末了。今年发生了很多事。有坏的。也有更好的。

读了小妹的部落格。突然间涌上排山倒海的回忆。后悔。思念。原来。原来。原来是思念。pain needs to be felt. happiness need not be put on hold. 这是我看洋片得到的心得。《我们的故事》

'tilt-shift' is a photography thingy which makes landscapes look like miniature models. when i decided to fake one, this photo of milan i took years ago immediately sprang to mind.so i was looking through the digital photos of the trip to italy, and immediately feel like traveling.if only i can really shrink the world and leap to a million miles away from here.

今天我在繁忙时间搭地铁。陌生人与陌生人之间的几毫米变成了最后的防线。所以地铁里面的人们个个都是面无表情的。地铁门开之前的一瞬间，人们都倒吸一口气，做好下一刻你推我挤的慌乱场面的准备。涌出地铁门的人们一个接一个地往电动扶梯挤去。偶尔会有一两个要赶去投胎的搭客会不按条理地插队。后面的人们会习惯性的翻白眼。我双手插进裤袋，跟着人群走向轻轨站。身边的几万个人正在扮演着几万个角色诉说着几万个故事，我却躲在我的耳机后面。我听的是新加坡收听率最高的电台。两个dj还蛮好笑的。只是他们每说一个笑话，就有两则广告，三首我听不懂的歌。我明白自己已经不是电台的target audience 了。感觉他们播的歌有两种。有一种是最流行最像糖果的广告歌。另一种是所谓的陈年金曲。糖果广告歌我不会欣赏。陈年金曲红的时候，我还不懂事。我曾经喜欢的dj好像只有三个。一个是他在1003的时候我才开始听的。那时候当兵，每每有

心里面的喃喃自语，很复杂。很想说，却又不会表达。雨一直下。还好有朋友帮忙撑伞。在湿滑的大道上彳亍，给我启发的可能是身边的友人。也可能是坐在车站等车的老翁。看不到雨过天晴。奢望的是有勇气去体验雨天的美丽。

i have actually written whole paragraphs, but got stuck somehow and deleted everything instead. i guess i was trying to sort out my thoughts while writing, and didn't manage it quite well. i am thinking about 'being average'. i am disturbed at the number of times i have formed an opinion over something or someone just because it is not the average outcome i expect. i am scared that sometimes i

oh gosh what a match. it was bloody long. but uber exciting.the commentator was funny too. i thought he was scolding some bad words at some point in the match, then i realised he was just trying to say fud-fud. 8-8 the score.i think this match against the koreans is probably as exciting as it gets. i dun think we stand a chance against china. but hey. it's the olympics season. being optimistic

今天是台湾之旅的第八天。第一天我在台北龙山寺的夜市，坐在小小的摊位面前吃了生平最简单，也最美味的卤肉饭。第二天我在渔人码头看日落。不远处的餐厅歌手在黄色的晚霞下唱了陈绮贞和张震岳的歌曲。第三天我在九份的茶楼品茶。我们叫了一包茶叶，却好像怎么喝也喝不完。第四天我在宜兰泡冷泉。路上碰上了也正在旅行的两对夫妻，其中年轻的那对还跟着我们走了一整天。泡的是冷泉，心中还是暖暖的。第五天我在太鲁阁漫游。雄山万水的风景，就是少了那么一点情景交融的感觉。第六天我在花莲泛舟。感觉好像回去当兵的时候被呼来换去。跟其他泛舟的人打起水战的时候感觉有点奇妙，有点滑稽。第七天我在垦丁的夜空下放烟火。不是第一次，却还不失当初的感动。第八天我在南湾的碧海蓝天下初次体验潜水。前面的十分钟真的想死，后来才慢慢进入状况。先在的我摊在房里还真的有点身心疲惫。手脚都晒伤了，膝盖也割伤了。

i'm leaving for taiwan in another couple of hours. i'm feeling kinda sleepy. the bag is not fully packed, but i'm not very worried. it feels like everything is gonna work out somehow.it feels like the holiday has already started. how nice.meanwhile everyone back at home or elsewhere take care! have fun! like me. haha.

i was busying myself with the boring admin stuffs of the taiwan trip next week. and somehow forgot to be excited of the going-away.during dinner i was watching 稀游记's (oh i so love the show) last episode of the season. and suddenly felt like taking a year off to volunteer somewhere obscure. and then i was watching this nat geo feature on marco polo in china. it started talking about tibet, which

i almost fell asleep while watching the first half of the show. but i finished it, and think it's probably one of the best films ever.made me think. about memories and loops. i haven't been thinking a lot lately, ever since grad show ended last weekend.i loved the almost final scene between kate winslet and jim carey:"ok..?""ok..""ok!"

昨晚跟几个当兵时候认识的朋友吃了饭。已经很久很久没有碰面了。有一两年了吧。我们自从ord之后，就各自往自己的理想前进。昨晚五个男生，五种不同的生活领域。各自忙各自的，想安排见面的时候，总好像有人不在，所以一拖再拖。昨晚时间过得好像很快。我们重新挖起了共同患难的回忆。向大家update了平凡的现在。也一起讨论了又美丽又茫然的未来。这么久没见面，有人的头发已经长得不行。原来有人已经游遍香港和台湾了。有人已经换了两份工作。有人已经在计划结婚了。原来有人错过了我人生一段留着胡子的日子了。大家都变了。就是没有变陌生。

i was just back from thank-you-dinner with the idiots, and decided to catch some tv before bathing. somehow managed to catch the rerun of 稀游记2, some ch8 show about singaporeans staying overseas. i think it's one of the rare mandarin shows with 质感. there's way more depth in it than most variety shows, and so much more watchable than the serious-social-phenomenon-and-politics-but-not-really ones. i

tibet is such a beautiful place that it's hard to take an ugly photo, despite my lousy photography skills. so the picture above is probably one of the ugliest photo i have of lhasa.i blogged roughly a year ago (gasp! time!) about how i thought cultural assimilation was very real a problem in lhasa. that was, at that time, just a casual observation. i also thought the travel books i were reading

今天睡不到两个钟头。大学的最后一个open crit 如常进行。在回家的路上，天空是灰灰的。公车的窗上布了一层水滴。车里面很冷。车外的绵绵细雨，看起来更冷。在半清醒半放空的情况下，顿时感觉心好像变得很沉很沉。很莫名，很茫然，很空虚的沉沉的感觉。心里面打滚着一个很简单，很恐怖的问题。now what?然后公车拐个弯，就到总站了。每个人开始挪动着身躯，准备下车。哦，到了。下车后，就好像没什么了。

for the first time in dunno how long, i could afford to slack in front of the tv for a few hours straight. and so i caught the season premier of amazing race 12.i didn't catch all seasons, nor can i remember most of the couples on the show. but it's easily my favourite reality show. i cannot imagine myself bitching and politicking my way to a million dollars like those in survivor, or find

i remember a*mei's first album release because that was roughly when i was first introduced to the world of radio and music. that's like the late primary or early secondary years. i vaguely remember borrowing the 姐妹 cassette tape from a good friend who a few years later, simply gave the tape to me.never mind the pyrotechnics and all (well, they were actually pretty good too haha), i think a*mei's

sometimes i am so preoccupied with the difficulties of today that tomorrow seems so far away.sometimes nobody seems to know what i'm trying to say, and i feel so lonely i wanna escape.sometimes life throws me something i don't understand, and i am forced to slow down and look at things. in perspective.sometimes i feel like everything is probably okay anyway.sometimes these everything just explode

上个礼拜六有点疯狂，有点感动。陈绮贞的演唱安歌了五次。演唱会半途就不顾礼貌地站起来了。然后再站上椅子上。最后更跑到舞台前面，沉溺在当下最美好的时刻。演唱会来得很是时候 - 在自己对未来和人生有点茫然的时候，它好像一股很爽的微风。很喜欢她说的‘不管你的梦想在哪里，让我们现在起飞’。起飞可能不难，难在于怎么在人生和岁月里面寻找秉持梦想的孩子气。紧张的礼拜二我没怎么睡。用了一整晚的煎熬换来一个五分钟的presentation。紧张因为对自己的方案没有什么信心。煎熬因为要影响别人，得先说服自己。慵懒的礼拜五有点疲惫。五天内有两个deadlines，已经让我感觉有些力不从心。因为突然间睡了个10小时来弥补两晚的通宵，所以懵懵懂懂的。上巴士公车的时候拖鞋莫名其妙地脱落而从台阶滚了下去，卡在门缝间。当下得赤脚弯腰把拖鞋拯救出来。顿时感觉十分尴尬，又很想笑。清爽的礼拜六晚上有习习凉风，

i was lunching with ky on friday and suggesting all sorts of ways to have fun during the week-break. ktv, we decided. i think i wanna watch a movie, i said. and oh yah, i am joining cyclohunt, i informed him. how come so desperate to get away, he asked. yeah, haha. i think the last week was really pretty bad.so anw i spent saturday night zeeping around parts of singapore with the sister and 2

i was passing by clarke quay yesterday night on my way to liang court for some research work. and realised somebody has propped up pretty lanterns along the river front.i was feeling kinda weekend-ish and started snapping away with my cam along clarke quay. the alien-mushrooms covering the open sections between preserved warehouses were painted shades of purple and blue by some hidden lights. the

everyday this week were stretched so long, that by the end of everyday, earlier events feel like a long time ago. like how the tuition session this morning feels like a distant memory.had popped down to the hansgrohe showroom in the afternoon with dan for what felt like a comfortable guard duty. my cohort's work one year ago is exhibited there for the weekend, and it was decided someone should be

the cool air, the quiet stillness outside, and the very emo sounds of 张震岳's 'ok' is making me very comfortable tonight. so comfortable i decided not to do any work.'ok' is a surprisingly refreshing album, something i didn't expect from 张震岳. rappish-ballads, some about life in general, and which i can resonate with." 又一天的一个晴天阳光印在这张旧沙发躺下来闭上眼恍然不知寂寞枕着蔓延有时候想把自己关起来还是学着把心门拉开"-很难"

i rushed onto an empty 151 the other day to go home, and was greeted with a refreshingly different interior. it was a bus advertising nokia, and the interior was somewhat made to look lush and lounge-ish - white leathery seats and all.i headed straight for one of the three round seats more often found in the corner of a contemporary living room, and wondered who decided these spatially

there's always something captivating about fireworks. i think the ephemeral beauty of flowers blooming in the sky is almost unreal, and reminds of childlike fantasy. the fireworks display at marina bay wasn't exactly up to expectations. but beautiful nonetheless.ky and ks came down despite short notice, and i'm thankful. we decided to have supper while the crowds wrestle their way to public

school started barely yesterday, and it feels like it's been a week.everything's pretty much still the same - i didn't even need to move my belongings (left untouched for half a year!) to another section of the studio, since the arrangement for year 4s is to stay put. as i had felt in third year, there is, sadly, less things to be excited about anymore. even that feeling, that of lament and

The weather's been so cold I have resorted to wearing 4 layers of clothes most of the time now. Long johns, shirt, sweater, and then sweater again. Cycling at night must be the worst, esp when there's strong winds, which somehow is quite the norm. And then the locals will tell me '现在的天气比较好，不需要穿那么多'. Right.Been visiting a few places during the weekdays after school, like 雍和宫.圆明园. This place is

经过另一番机票风波后，我终于很意外地乘搭了新航的班机飞往北京。旅途还算舒服，还有机会看了本想在出国前看的Dreamgirls。也算是为机票风波所带来的恐慌和惊愕作了小补偿。一踏进校门，便是一连两天的奔波，满脑子想的只是怎么在礼拜六之前搞好一切上课和生活的手续和琐碎事。因为美术学院离宿舍是大概15分钟的路程，而自己又还没搞懂自行车的情况，所以前前后后走了好几个小时的路。庆幸的是前两天天气还算ok。只是今天下起了毛雨，所以到处都是灰灰湿湿的。因为得到热心友人们的帮助，所以很快就把电话卡，网络户头，手机号码等给搞定了。因为琐碎事所以还没有真正地享受一下北京面貌。相信将来一定能。在那之前，这里一切安好，所以家人无需担心:)

After 3 steamboats and 4 yu-sangs, the CNY celebrations are pretty much almost over. And CNY had been a convenient distraction from the fact that I am going to fly very soon.Only a couple more things need to be settled, and a couple of last-minute meet-ups with friends. I'm flying in a couple of days, and that has sunken in well.It struck me the other day I will be going back to studio life, well

I was doing the tours for the swedish design exhibition at the museum over the weekend. Nobody asked for the free tours on the 2 days I was there, but I was psychologically prepared for that given president and kk's earlier warnings and advise.The official advise and instructions given to me were to 'gather your own group' at the counter. I guess the subtle meaning behind the instructions was for

Had wanted to catch 'momento' for quite some time already, and only managed to do so last week, when they showed it on ch5. Had previously only been recommended the movie so many times and know it as a confusing but interesting show.Confusing and interesting it indeed was. It's gripping simply cos missing any scene will make the plot meaningless and strange. The flashbacks make little sense at

By a stroke of luck, I got this short exhibition assignment at the National Museum. So I was there yesterday for this training session, as well as the media walk-through and launch of the exhibition. Some design thing lah.Me and friends didn't exactly have a reason to be at the media walk-through, much less the official launch. It was somewhat a tie-and-gown affair, and I was happily out of place

Because the semester will not start till after CNY at Tsinghua, I am awkwardly left with an empty window of about a month before I fly there. Awkward simply because a starting new year is otherwise usually associated with new projects, and also because almost everybody else around is either busy starting school or industrial attachments.So it's still the holidays for me, albeit it doesn't quite
