haha regina style entrance. cept my one is red colour.

ok this post is basically abt
1) some rubbish tt happened on tuesday. yknow lah. tuesday lah. swings arms.
2) shuzong
3) da niao.

i actually didnt bother sending gygi the photos cos i was having late nite bath. ok actually when i started it was early. but when i ended it was late. actually still early. early in the morning. anw shall move on to the main point which is..

The Reason Why Only LISYN Has A Zhong Wen Ban Single. [and coincidentally likes to type in caps.]
because if meiting had it too it'll be XI1 SHI3 which isnt very appealing.
not as appealing as money.
those who agree put a ball of string on ur head.



eh. eh. evidently yanqi agrees! (: eh. ok lets move on to first point. which coincidentally also involves the 3rd point.

once upon a time a group of pple from 6v decided to embark on a treacherous journey to beautyworld.
dompapa lisyn yanqi patricia tim daniao and me. and gygi.
determined to storm the land of xiang yun [shop n save, jiamin zui bang] for prata, they took bus to oppo beautyworld and started the first leg of their journey.
however after the 6v gang conquered the killer traffic. they noticed someone missing.

daniao: eh dont commit suicide..

hmm ok. so aft much persuasion and convincing tt the coast is clear, daniao decided to cross the road.
it was a traumatizing experience.
then we did a bunch of other stuff. details are here.
aft 6v gang finished their journey. they brought back the prata to the other side of the road.


daniao: eh rly. dont commit suicide..

as the silver car speeds past, daniao muses abt life.
daniao: walao. got car.

the nxt day, 6v celebrated chinese new year! (:
and ponned mass dance.
early in the morning, a certain feathered friend was feeling the mental strain from the previous day's adventure. who wldnt?



and as such the story comes to a close. now i can talk abt point 2. yknow lah. point 2 lah. swings arms.



this is ereki.

ok its v early alrdy. crap more nxt time.

particular realities

some_days2
"it's not meant to sound/look depressing, really."A quick sketch during a train ride to work.

It has been a long time since I've a reason to walk around the Mohamed Sultan area. Last Saturday, on our way to the Singapore Tyler Print Institute by the Robertson Quay to see the new print works of Indian artist Anju Dodiya, we walked past another expensive condominium/service apartment development that has mushroomed in the area, together with dozens of new Japanese and European restaurants, delis, pubs and fancy watering holes. A Japanese woman walked toward us holding the hand of her beautiful 8-year old daughter with brown hair and green eyes.

Y: J, are we in Singapore?
J: ...
Y: Strange huh. Same country, yet we lead such different lives. This - and Toa Payoh.
J: You don't say. Aiyah, the truth is that even in Toa Payoh, if you take the 2 of us and a family living in the next block [of one-room flats], there's already a big difference.
Y: You are right.

And on this small island 3 degrees north of the equator, we can spend an hour looking at the recent works of an Indian artist who has incorporated - among other references - the text of a dead American poet writing in the late 50s-60s. The title of the exhibition All night I shall gallop is from Plath's poem Elm. The line, in full, reads - "All night I shall gallop, impetuously/". Impetuously is left out from the exhibition title. But I like Plath's insertion of "impetuously" in the context of the poem, the comma introduces a pause, emphasising that it is a deliberate, pointed assertion. But in the context of the exhibition, perhaps "impetuously" would be too specific, dictating too particular a stance and limiting the viewer's interpretation of Dodiya's layered prints.

At a conference last week that looked at the various scenarios for Singapore in 2030, this growing income divide* was one of the issues discussed. At the same conference, the keynote speaker used this phrase to deflect a participant's rather general moral question - that he preferred to look at "particular realities" instead of "abstract principles".

The phrase stuck in my mind. Of course it is all about context - political, social, economic. Of course it is about individual and particular experience and perception. In art - poems, images, stories - that is also what we are confronted with. But abstract principles matter. And it would be sad if we discount and dismiss such seeming abstractions as justice, fairness, peace...

Ah, but friends, the reality for me is that I'm now running a little late for Chinese New Year dinner at my mom's. So leaving aside all depressing thoughts about income divides and whether you are in the $2 or $200 angbao percentile (aiyah, we are no longer eligible to receive angbaos this year even!), us amps and our "latchkey kids" wish that you'll have a good, relaxing time with your family this long weekend.

"then omg horror. i was super traumatised. we were debating over where should we go to eat -highschool or college. and then...

THE FIGURE OF *URGH* APPEARED!

OMGOMGOMGOMG. when i saw him walking swiftly over, my eyes opened until they almost dropped out. and then the few of them who knew i totally couldn't stand urgh were also kinda laughing. then mark appeared and he appeared very calm. after urgh left, he was like OMG. ha. and in the end urgh went to high school to eat with out ct... he comes to our ct bench always to get us to go eat with him la! i can't stand him not because he's a teacher. but he's just weird! and i think he can't teach.

so all along the way to highschool i was laughing hysterically. no not really laughing. is 无奈的苦笑. you know? so helpless that i became so high. yea. freak freak freak.

then! at high school we were siaming the stall he queued up at. lol. then some of us decided to buy yongtaofu and so we ended up last to buy finish. and then! to our horror, the others have formed their own table. and we were left to fill up the space at urgh's table.and then mark wanted to squeeze into their table and i took his plate and said "you are going to sit with us." HAHA. because other than me, he's the 2nd most freaked out person. then we went to buy drinks. jiamin corina and i bought milo. and when we came back, ereki who was at the other table asked us

"你们还敢买milo ah?"

-looked at urgh's drink. -

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MILO! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. hahah couldn't stop laughing. super horrified la. is bie zhu de xiao + digust.


after that walked back. then as we were walking up the stairs, ereki and mark suddenly fly up. and anastasia also i think. was wondering what happened. yuan lai it was because urgh was nearing them. mark asked suzhong what happened after urgh talked to him. then ereki said he fled after zhenyang asked urgh a question. lol saved by zhenyangpatricia mok.
