Take me somewhere nice.

Listening to Mogwai's "Take me somewhere nice" brings to mind many images, vignettes from the past. Also, so many questions I don't have the answers to.

Today, I feel lost. I drove off the road into the woods and now I dunno where I am heading.

I could do this job!

Shadowed Xiaobin yesterday. After the shoot at Ion, we  went back to the newsroom where I saw how pictures are filed and captioned. It was really exciting for me, seeing and learning how things worked at the Picture Desk. I think I could do this job. But then again I still do love teaching, not all parts of it, but it's extremely satisfying when students come up to thank you and say you made a difference in their lives. Perhaps the best arrangement is what I am trying to achieve now. Teacher on weekdays, Photojournalist on weekends. Lets see how this goes.

So today I went down to SPH after school at 530pm to meet Huifen. It was quite a good meeting, and we are trying to figure out how I can start to freelance for them.

The knee's better from 3 weeks ago. But it's still very tender, I still don't have my full range of movements and it's not very much fun to limp around alone.

Sea.

These days, I feel like I am out at sea without a life jacket.

Say goodbye to the Macpherson CC of our youth.

I have been carrying this weight around this whole week. Perhaps if I cry now I will feel better. But I don't want to. Because it is all my fault. Why cry then?

Familiarity.

Familiarity is also a kind of love.

...

I need to clear the slate first. I need to clear the slate.

I have been holding back tears the whole day now. I don't want to cry now. So I bury myself in work.

The finality of it overwhelms me.

Biutiful.

These photos make me cry.

咬紧牙关。因为放手才是拥有。

It's another new day.

To waste or to seize.

Inaction & Action

Sometimes inaction is better than action.

On being lame.

It feels really sucky to be hobbling around. When your leg won't allow you to do what you want to do, your confidence really takes a hit and you feel inadequate and helpless. Health is wealth. I am reminded. From now on, I will remember to do a good warm up and warm down. I am not getting younger and I cannot afford to take such things for granted anymore. This sprained knee is a wake up call.

She's laughing at me limping around home.

One year on, what a journey it has been.
