to depend on oneself.

Well, today was nice. It was in a way, such a simple sunday. And yet, one of the best sundays i've had in a very long time.

perfect morning, a swim. Finished my work on time. Met my best friend.

Had a great dinner....


and to top it all off, one of the most beautiful sunsets i've seen in a long long time :)

makes you just wanna run away.

someone just come, take my hand... and melt....

Sometimes, we need to blur our vision to see what's really evident.

To be obtuse.

A garden. A hideaway. A retreat. A wind-dow.

Proposed private gardens at Pandan Reservoir, Singapore.

lets do some work now that this is done :)

I have spent the entire weekend doing archi stuff... I feel so drained. And i don't even feel that confident about this design. oh well, we'll see how the presentation goes tomorrow.

I'm so glad i had the chance to just unwind with bao today... :) thanks bao. DIM SUM WASGOOD! haha seriously, i can be in the shittest mood and with dim sum, i'm yellow mellow...

preservation



* i detest association. I love association. I can't run away from it.

I attended ART Singapore 2009 today.
While we were there, I was inspired greatly by many of the creations of the many contemporary asian artists. It was truly truly a humbling, and magnificent sight to behold just galleries and galleries of painting, sculpture, mixed media installations and photography. I especially loved several works by Korean Artist Yi Hwan Kwon... .... they were basically sculptures that played on our understanding of perspectives.
Anyway, while i was walking around... i was impressed by the works of Milenko Prvacki... in his works called "methods and materials". The curator actually explained each working sketch/draft to us... here is the full experience

Curator: are you interested in buying art? what are you? students? designers? haha

we just smiled and said a few things....

The elegant and eloquent lady smiled, put on a pair of white cloth gloves and deftly lifted each sheet of art daintily for us to take a look.

Curator: "shall i explain the works to you?"

After several minutes of explanation, she started telling us what it meant to be an artist. Her words were truly truly golden.. I left feeling so inspired.

Her aura is really strong. She is graceful, and distinguished. And humble too. I think that itself was the mark of being a truly great artist. She said, "young artist want to be special. Who told you that you must be special to do art? What is the point of being different? You can't be different to be different.. Everything is through years and years of practice. You can't just do good art right away. Its like handwriting. You love to be exclusive. you want to be special. Don't because you might just exclude yourself.

"there will always be a lowest denominator. Who are we to say we can force people to see things our way. What is the point of creating something? If they walk into a restaurant, only ordering chilli crab, you give them the best chilli crab you know how.


haha.. she really said a lot more

but i was just truly truly happy today. To see the art around me and know that it takes time. Art takes time. ITs okay if we're not there now. Its always okay. Its always okay not to be 'there'. its a matter of time.







* of course being ushered into the VIP lounge was great... and so is the catalogue sitting pretty on my lap as i type this :) 

Good evening,

i made this video for all to enjoy. What is rain here? Do we see rain just as a temporal entity, merely a coat. Or does it seep deeper and change permanently. Is there such a thing as erasable impact?

prada transformer.... by rem koolhaas... seoul....

Life is so unfortunately shallow...... woe to thee who is unattractive and ugly... woe woe woe woe .... you can try though.
