 Let's TAP! [Talk About Places] Exhibition
National Library, 100 Victoria St, 3-17 June 2006 Level 8 Promenade
some of my black and white work (preview above) will be exhibited at the national library from tomorrow till 17 June. in this exhibit, i have handprinted a few black and white photos and set them up against a backdrop of words and images which i have documented from the streets, things that i feel are a reflection of the milieu of my photographs.
There is also a forum that is part of this exhibition on 10 June. Please feel free to come down for either or both! Drop me a msg if you decide to. More details here:- www.reallyarchitecture.org
Lastly, I will no longer be updating this photojournal. I've been saying in the past few posts that i'm moving. I planned this for about half a year! Tech problems, hosting etc, thinking of a new name.. well. this has finally translated to a new site at www.lookthemoon.com please visit that site from now.. and hopefully i will be more motivated to post regularly! my own server!
Thank you everyone.

this road is in the news recently, some shophouses selected to be conserved..check out the different architectural flavour, which i am less interested in than the feel of the street, the area itself, the inhabitants..
later as we walked on, somewhere down the road, we passed by this time, up close another stretch of backlane redlight business, no, not desker road..

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
and in the middle of negotiations
you break down
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
and in the middle of investigation
I break down
Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any job I got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow loris slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Came true today (yes it did)
One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven
beatles
what does funny paper allude to?

| bulletproof i wish i was |
[Apr. 1st, 2006|11:21 pm] |
Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day every hour
I wish that I was bullet proof
Wax me
Mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bullet proof
So pay the money and take a shot
Leadfill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bullet proof
And bullet proof
And bullet proof
And bullet proof
i wish i was |

...And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away,
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand |

 Simply Dusty Album Cover"The white negress " with soul
I became a fan of hers when i first heard The look of love, on a commercial, for the siemens handphone sl45, that was 6 years ago. I subsequently also fell in love with that handphone, one of the first mp3 handphones ever! and saved and schemed (legally) to get it, on my own..
that song, always held my heart whenever i heard it. And i loved dusty springfield for that one song. until i heard and also fell in love with.. just a little lovin'
she just has a way of holding a person's heart in some of her songs. she's not a vocalist, vocalist, but its the way she sings, with the emotion, soul and sometimes sing-speaking instead
lee ang's next project is a biography on dusty, with charlize theron staring as lead. read a bit about her life, and then you picture her singing the songs, her attitude and what she stood for.. these artistes, with their less than perfect lifes, i wonder, is that it that inspires and makes them able to sing like that?
i finally bought her cd the other day.
i am always reluctant to post something new here because i know i'm moving..

I was lost inside a daydream
Swimming through the saline
I looked at you and you breathed in
Well, that's the way it's always been
It all comes down to creating time
You don't always have to make it right
We'll all drive by in our hybrid lives
Chances are we'll make it back

28. Vision
I LOVE all things that pass: their briefness is
Music that fades on transient silences.
Winds, birds, and glittering leaves that flare and fall—
They fling delight across the world; they call
To rhythmic-flashing limbs that rove and race...
A moment in the dawn for Youth’s lit face;
A moment’s passion, closing on the cry—
‘O Beauty, born of lovely things that die!’
Siegfried Sassoon (1886–1967). Picture-Show. 1920.
Is it nature, for all things to last? is it nature, for things to all expire?
Especially the beautiful things?
For jacelyn, who wrote this to me in sec 3
and for wanlin, now.

barbie places her head on her lap,
wears nothing except her beauty queen smile
says, "would you please buy me"
add* ...i was pretty caught by the sight, thinking, who would buy her? and for what purpose? for self? for beloved or estranged daughter? you know the type of crowd there right...
on another note, i REALLY hated it when my barbie doll head broke off. i think my brother broke it once. you know those heads cant be fixed back ever and function as they should. and PLUS the doll looked REALLY awful after that.. the long slender neck, became stunted when you tried to fix the head back on. i was pretty horrified and put that doll away.
maybe that doll on the street stirred something in me.. but i feel like pretty much no one will want it.. kinda reminds me of that walk through the backlanes of desker..

The thick early morning fog rests heavy
on the waists of the hills that surround the town.
She rests and breathes unevenly.
I hold her hand, slightly warmer
than the cool of the jade bangle that grips her wrist.
I speak to her, telling my name,
saying I’ve come to see her,
thanks pam, for you know what.

Try to think that love´s not around
Still it´s uncomfortably near
My old heart ain´t gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain´t here
Angel eyes, that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love´s mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drinks and the laughs are on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact´s uncommonly clear
Got to find who´s now number one
And why my angel eyes ain’t here
Oh, where is my angel eyes
Excuse me while I disappear
Angel eyes, angel eyes.
Angel Eyes as performed by Ella Fitzgerald
the laptop's been seized. i want to put pictures up soon.
