change.

Tonight I realise I am perhaps in the process of learning one of life's greatest lessons. Thank God.

To lean into the fear as you would in a trust fall.

Sleeping soon, GP prelim tmr.

i wrote to escape

Music is my escape.
TV is my escape.
Somebody else’s story is my escape
Even if it isn’t mine
It is my escape

Junk food is my escape.
Sleep is my escape.
Even if I always wake
It is my escape

Shopping is my escape.
Feeling is my escape
Taking a walk is my escape
Even if I tire
It is my escape

Dreaming is my escape
Listening to music is my escape
Having a conversation is my escape
Even if words cease
It is my escape.

There are whole industries built on the human need to escape.
Whole livelihoods constructed to escape
Escaping for a living. How ironic.
Escaping to live.

I love how this year's UOB painting of the Year is... ' Just Let Me Sleep'


Done by a J1 student from Hwa Chong. Love love love it. Love the message, love the technique. I don't know much about art, never studied it formally but I really think the technique he went with really brought out the message of his painting. The chaos, the swirling lines, the whole textured effect. Just really good. Congrats Esmond!

AND the best part is.... it retails at S$25. AHMYGOSH.
low opp cost there. (y)

there seriously is something regressive about my nature.

for my 500th post: my narnia


Realised i get some of my best thoughts (next to when i am in the shower) when i take walks. This is the park i usually have to walk through to get to westmall (the nearest shopping centre to my house).  Also, optimal time is at night when all is calm, cool and collected. i love night walks. they are when i get my best ideas. alright, time to study now. ciao!

On studying/learning

to me studying and learning is all about discovering the genius that isn't us.

was just thinking if life were like a drive we ought to be...

Shifting between the pedals of reason and faith to move us along.

the day we dont need belief or faith is the day we have perfect knowledge. the day we have perfect knowledge is the day our imperfect lives cease. hence, till that day comes, we alternate between reason and faith/belief to get us through life.
