a girl and the garden

went for a fashion shoot today involving a Finnish model and a Russian photographer, which, even in cosmopolitan Singapore, remains to be an elusive phenomenon. to be fair, the event turned out to be very much more exciting than what i have described, but i can barely keep my eyes open so here's a story for another day.

starring you as yourself

you're going about with your daily life, with your companionable headphones jammed over your head, and quite abruptly, the forces of life align themselves to present a significant yet equally unimportant phenomenon: your music player randomly selects a number that seems just right for the moment.

it could be a ridiculous happy song accounting the rarity of a cloudless azure sky above, or a heavy metal piece that echoes your exasperation from work; an unabashed love song as you spy your lover waving at you from across the road, or a power ballad at midnight as you rush out a deadline.

and whichever the case, if the world's one big truman's show, starring you as yourself, then what you've just heard, my dear, was a soundtrack of your life.

oh crap

this is dope.

now i'll never look at zombies in the same way again.

just saying

i like the cactus beer bottle

words fail me

that is actually the title of this picture, but i'm stealing it for this post because after a day of writing proposals i dun feel like writing the queen's good english. nor do i feel like writing coherently. does it make sense? i dun care.

anyway i meant to find a chinese-new-year-ish picture to put up but nothing's nice on deviantart for me to put here.

this is done by johnsu, who's one of my favourite artists on deviantart because his style is whimsical, his drawing kung-fu is powerful and he likes to add short story descriptions to his pictures. so here's the short description for this picture:

"Liquorish is a girl endowed with large hands capable of firing conservative encouragements at 400 wpm. she also has tiny feet which are sufficient for walking and running and maybe climbing stairs. despite the largeness of her hands, she is not very confident.

Yukiman is a large snow-like man who towers in the atmosphere and wears a tie, because he is serious. also as you can see, he is not very confident.

Doma is a dome with a slot going down the top of his dome. the slot can hold any number of thin objects, like cartridges or toast. his vague, ambiguous stare reflects a certain lack of confidence."

if you notice i credit pictures i take from deviantart because that is polite. internship has been really good; they seem pretty okay with me doing mainly just writing for now. i got bored enough to ask them if they need to take out the trash but they say that's alright too. and the writing is fun; the only problem i have is that sometimes i can't translate all the ideas in my head to the word document properly. it's like the words are too clumsy to wield properly.

maybe this is what a mood board is for. you know, should words fail us.
