Traffic Lights

Traffic lights, ever had a tough decision as you zoom across these lamps?
The on-the-spot decisions made your day better or worse?
Red, Amber or Green?

There's a understood stretch of silence.
With those changing lights blinking there.
Listening to the sound of hearts,
the known facts are presented.
The race started without knowledge.
Recognising it was a choice,
facing the silence now is of such leech.
Reality in the race with wannabe.
A marathon runner compared to a sprinter.
The familiar compared to a complete stranger.
There is a world of difference.
That much to spill out,
only when not related.
The relations of the variables,
is something to crack brains and hearts upon.
Just like solving a challenging equation.

Simplicity often dissolves with real living.
Real living infuse a palette.
A palette involves choices to splash the colours.
The colours that paint the many pictures.
The many pictures of thousand words.
The thousand words to be represented in many ways.
The many ways of how an individual art is expressed.
The expressed is always unique.
The unique is often appreciated by some and not all.

When looking at a piece of art,
It's red, amber or green.
Red - Stop and take a look.
Amber - Pause and think of what message it drives at.
Green - Move on to others.
The previous pieces either linger in your mind,
or others after that create more impact.
To choose what one wants,
factors are considered.
From the use of the painting, location,
the message to carry across and etc.

Sometimes people buy a piece of art and after hanging it up,
they realise it is not as suitable.
Then the choice is, to replace it or change the setting of the environment.
Again, red, amber or green.
Red - Painting out of place! Need replacement!
Amber - Probably can make do with it. Change painting or environment?
Green - Fits perfectly!

Is it then more healthy to have traffic lights in areas of life?
On roads and in races, they act as a safety measure.
Still accidents do happen when judgements made at that point in time is incorrect.
In life, they can act on different aspects and roles.
What then do traffic lights in your life do to you?
Which of the three brings you more fear?
Red, Amber or Green?

What's on?

Was in Hong Kong for 24 hours. Needless to say it was food and shopping attacks more than anything. A few of us had the Wonton soup, others rice items. For desserts, mango dessert shop! Everything involved mangoes in them. Overall, a great dinner aka supper to catch up with. Went on the sleepless streets to take a digestive walk and then to a pub for a drink. Was pretty tired then. However, having a girlfriend as roomie often ended up yaking away isn't? We shared our little secrets, had our share of good laughters and then fell to sleep at 6a.m!!!
We woke up at 1030a.m. and went to town for shopping. I was fairly disappointed in search of clothes. WHY? Well, it's autumn/winter collection. I don't really need much of those. Therefore, was pretty empty handed after a whole day! Went into a supermarket though to get frozen dim sum! Last but not least, got glutinous rice balls and egg tarts for friends.

Imagine my 4 hours of sleep lasted me another 24 hours of non stop physical activities. I crashed the next day. Also suffering from backache or back injury, yet to find out. Getting old, I can feel it!

Today did not start very well. A solution will never be able to replace the original. Wonder what it is going to be. No matter, just hope happiness be with them actually... Though I hope for that kind of happiness to stay and grow...

A Chapter...

A chapter of you,
Will chapters keep going?

Missing you is just like listening to sad sentimental songs,
That leads emotions on.
Even when soaked in a crowd or with great company,
Time seems long and it feels that lonely.
Thinking of you when alone brings both smiles and frowns.
Looking out of the window,
The view does not replace that image that lasts.
Hoping as always - be by my side.
That loneliness is something difficult to shake off.
With coffee and cigarettes, moments shared flood in.
The momentum of everyday goes into a relation,
With the times and things shared,
In no matter of big or small.
The "Sa Rang Hae Yo" you mentioned,
Heart just beats in the same way yours does.
The frequency that matched often,
Wonders of it just keeps going.
The thoughts and every tiny piece of everything shared,
Moments of them treasured.
The songs that are applicable and totally describe,
Keeps appearing without the search.
You brought back the simplicity and basics.
Simple love, basics of love.
The discovery of what was not and what is.
The going just makes the path less lonely.

You are in this chapter...

A chapter that is of surprise.
A chapter that is of real.
A chapter that is of two hearts.
A chapter that is of a thousand miles away.
A chapter that is of a blur... it is complicated.

A chapter that is a treasure, every moment of it.

Romance in the air!

Venice/Venezia

Ciao! My recent visit to Venice, a city in northern Italy, excite me to really do a tour! It has always been one of the destinations I heart upon. However, luck was not on my side. It rained on the day I arrived, yes, of all days in October, it has to rain on me! Nevertheless, it did not stop me from taking walks and photos!

The typical setting, buildings, windows, churches, canals, gondolas, bridges, yummy pizza and pasta, friendly people and mesmerising masks!

These masks, I am so in love with them. Yes they are expensive, especially those elaborated and detailed ones! Due to the rush, I was not able to make up my mind which ones to buy, till next time I will make my attacks!




Master pieces from one shop to the other, they just get better!

A gang of us, Miss Korea, Japan, Singapore, Mr UAE, Brisbane, Sydney and Argentina were merry in the rain and cold. We attacked the churches, little eating huts, restaurants, shops, to small canals and then to the Grand canal, Rialto Bridge/Ponte di Rialto, St Mark's Basilica/Basilica di San Marco a Venezia, and St Mark's Square/Piazza San Marco.

It was too cold and the rain got heavier along the way. The final three survivors, Miss Seriously Funny Singapore, Mr Used-to-be-in Singapore Sydney and Miss Bibi Singapore! We went for our pasta and wine before heading back by the canal! Awesome trip! Thanks to all!

To Mr SinSydney/Mr Garrie Don, thanks for the memories of Singapore and it's local food plus the wonderful trip, beer and wine in Venice! We did it!

The happy rain-on-me Bibi in Venice and to Venice again!

That romance in the air, why was I not with someone special to spend time there! Ah......!
