生日快乐！

Band of Brothers

There are douchebags in this world and then there are your brothers, friends you want to keep for life.

How foolish and how vicious. It hurt me more than it could ever hurt my career. And I spit on everything we had.

Ramadan 2013

A photo essay I did 2 weeks ago.
Ramadan 2013
I remember the watch smelling forever of Ramli Burger we bought from Geylang Serai. It stopped last year.

Venezia.

Passed Venezia today and recalled those times when I would pick you up from Guthrie House. If i could do it all over again, I'd get there 15 minutes early park my car,  slow things down, I'd wait for you in Venezia, we had sit down, breathe, have an ice cream, slow down life, so I could see more of you, if I could, all over again.

Singing in class.

Showed my form class the horrible new national day song today. Followed that up with Kit Chan's 'Home'. You can tell which they prefer.

我懷念的

She threw away everything I gave her. Probably in a black thrash bag like that.

我懷念的是無話不說　我懷念的是一起做夢
我懷念的是爭吵以後　還是想要愛你的衝動
我記得那年生日　也記得那一首歌
記得那片星空　最緊的右手　最暖的胸口
(誰記得)　誰忘了

Finally a break today. Finished the Ramadan story yesterday and sent the photos over today. Friday and then Saturday shoots lined up so feeling happy to be home early today. Keeping busy but the truth is, I have never missed you more.

Reminder

[14/7/13 11:57:49 PM] John Clang: let's why I say it's IMPORTANT to iject your view and respect your process
[14/7/13 11:57:57 PM] John Clang: inject*
[14/7/13 11:58:23 PM] John Clang: a METHOD is not about going to a same place and compose an image like what you use to....
[14/7/13 11:58:51 PM] John Clang: a METHOD is about gathering all the information you need to chew and digest before clicking an image
[14/7/13 11:59:45 PM] John Clang: Both produce different result....the earlier one is EXPECTED, the latter one is INTRIGUING.

How loneliness goes.

I dreamt of you last night and Coco too. But I couldn't speak to you and Coco refused to bark. I followed her round and round the block hoping to get to you. The rest I can't remember.

Really enjoyed the ride tonight. Going anywhere just an excuse to put on the helmet. Marveling at what's new what remains in our landscape ever in flux breathing in the night air an intoxicating blend of wet grass, exhaust, Indian curry spice, plasticine, floral fragrance, wondering more out of curiosity than anything else where in this twinkling city in the night you are right now.

Last Rockfest together.

Covering our last Rockfest together. One of the best friends I have made in my 4.5 years in SRJC. Couldn't run the photography club without him always being there. If all goes to plan we will both be at places new next year. 

我們都在等雨停.

Xiaobin said I would like this song. And she was right.

 

把她忘記
重複告訴自己
熟悉不再熟悉
但清晰卻還是一樣清晰

喔〜去吧
隨著右手旋律
忘了左手的委屈
就算沒伴奏也可以繼續

前進找尋新的記憶和空氣
放晴等雨說放棄

在有眼淚的雨裡
哪裡都是你
擦乾是否就看不見你
腦海裡你的笑容太徹底
徹底把我囚禁在你的呼吸
我跟著哭泣

在有眼淚的雨裡
哪裡都是你
抱緊你是我逃離的距離
太擁擠我在你的世界裡
看不清楚的是你還是自己
我們都在等雨停

Trepidation.

When ever I am in Orchard these days, my heart beats with trepidation. I am worried I may bump into you but at the same time I hope to bump into you. And then there are so many places all around Singapore, they all remind me of us.

Ghosts.

Ghosts don't haunt us . They are present among us, because we won't let go of them.
