Story hung.

Was looking at the uncrafted direct response ad on the concrete wall.
It almost tells a story. Is itself almost a story.

Perhaps, trivia.

perhaps, there are skies beyond this one

perhaps, the grasses are greener

the sun is cooler

diamonds are cheaper

life is simpler

and bubbles would hang on

and on

and on

and on

to be found

Just in case.

she's on a ferry

leaning out the dress fluttered in the breeze

and slipped

I then have a reason to exist

Something catchy.

There's a witty drug store banner in Lan Kwai Fong says,

We have BEER for you to drink,

CIGAR for you to enjoy,

PERFUME for your girlfriends,

VIAGRA for banana become cucumber.

Don't forget CONDOM for your safe sex,

otherwise...... DRUGS to heal you.

If she insist "no".....

MELATONIN for you go to sleep.

Enjoy your night....

If there's a banner like this out of every office, what yours says?

Just wonder.

Sometimes it rusts.

and it's not quite up to you.

Tie me up so I can feel free.

we all born with a natural fondness to be curbed, cocooned, restricted.

til we're at the age of crawling.
then we fight and struggle aggrandizing what we know as freedom.

til we're at the age of falling in love.
then we give it all up.

Dear souls once were.

I am nothing but reactions to your actions.

The quietest shade of loud.

What's inside?

Your universe.
My hodgepodge.
Someone's pandemonium.
Their secrets.

Internal monologue #1

i'm afraid of epilogue.
i'm afraid of flatterers and insinuations.
i'm afraid of being cold-shouldered.
i'm afraid of the crowd.
i'm afraid of casual acquaintances.
i'm afraid of being stopped.
i'm afraid of being pushed.
i'm afraid of getting stuck.
i'm afraid of not being understood.
i'm afraid of being looked through.
i'm afraid of getting up at the wrong side of the bed.
i'm afraid of doing something wrong.
i'm afraid of doing only the right things.
i'm afraid of permanent damages.
i'm afraid of conclusions.
i'm afraid of not being loved.
i'm afraid of loving someone too much.
i'm afraid of being loved for the wrong reasons.
i'm afraid of being the right guy for the wrong girl.
i'm afraid of the right girl showed up at the wrong time.
i'm afraid of the right time will never come.
i'm afraid of afraid.

In the waiting line.

too close as a safe distance
too far apart to jump over

A little black tale.

of my recent visit / purchase in yygallery, 5cm, Gay Giano, Cour Carre, 01TheOne, ScaredCow, Twentyuntil.

Hostage to all the yesterdays.

I have learnt so much from this world

that
I can no longer be myself.

L'art de fleur.

A new startling discovery I made, that the mess on my home desk and flower arranging art are kindred tribes. Definitely it helps rationalize my hesitancy to tidy up.

Oui! Who's in the room cruel enough to ruin the artwork!

This exhibition will last till any given Sunday afternoon with nothing better to do than to pick up my room.

Admission's free. Enjoy.

Light it up. Bring it down. Nice, fab.

for the lamp underneath
the leaf glows
