the Leaf

Mornings these days give me the shivering but refreshing itch, knowing that I'm alive and experiencing good weather. How gratifying it is to peek at a tree's every move and filter through an incoming crowd. Really an endless cycle, but the purpose to all these? What matters? Is that we have had happiness and sadness through it all. I'm guessing that these two spheres kinda balance into eventual equlibrium in one's life. Yes, its all for the better, the natural story of the Leaf.

Spring came,
and budded them
Summer arrived
for them to dance
Autumn creeped
and they fell
Winter descended
and they died

When Spring became Summer and Summer later became Autumn, we did not fear for this was natural. So why do we fear when Autumn gave way to Winter, and that to beyond.

Field trip is fun!! Meandering down history lane today got me drenched wet, albeit it was real fun. Went places I never would have thought of entering. Curiousity really amazes.

But at the end of the day, it took piercing my shabby fortress in revealing the pathetic state of my skills, to realize I have achieved almost nothing.

六天

千里走单骑,万里独飞行的日子难忍受.同伴,你在何方?

Sixth day of this ardous travel, fatigue and confusion cloud my mind. I brought some work along to occupy my time on, but the motivation isn't exactly there. Grimy skies and searing rays of Apollo aren't exactly condusive environments to begin with. The train wheels rivet quite a fair bit these days, generating a warm drone.

Soon, we derail inland and begin the rest of the way upward on foot. I have a sherpa whom will be there for me. He tells me not to worry for He has provisions. I should try and be satisfied. Recently read in a Jit book of the hardened one and quite concur with zit findings. I pray the hardened one will find light, I'm glad to think this way. I had thought of calling the Eagle along on the trip, but distance overrules, and Eagle well choseth to scale the range on the other side. Otherwise, I would really appreciate a worthy companion. This I bear Eagle a tiny grudge over. Nearby, Dolphin also appears to be making her way up this range, albeit ditzily and carrying half the luggage Dolphin hinted to have thrown away. Should I laugh or cry?!

Now when I make my way up, I shall dare not look back down for its a hideously tall range. Yes, I cannot write back. Fellow travellers, if fate be kind on us, may our paths cross and make campfire. Be it on the range paths or the victory peak. Let's put on a smile when we see each other, for it makes the cold bearable and our life more so human. farewell.

Day Three

Third day through my journey, it is thoughtful of me to write back.

The grimy landscape has been interleaving between Nature's fresh and industrial strink, half thought I was in China! These rainy days are not like the ones that came before. The raindrop, it lacks aura that calms my soul. The train conductor tells me, we now travel in the foggy mountains. Pressure is low, so water boils easily. I disagree for the sake of it. I told him, pressure is high, and people melt like water.

Last few days, we lost some cabin pressure on the trip up. Passengers display weird symptoms, estatic and forgetful. So train Captain decides, must remedy, place everyone on oxygen later today! I hate the oxygen mask, makes me sleepy, robs me of concentrating on my masterpiece. I suspect the oxygen gas is impure but they might think I lost sanity if I rebutt. What if they throw me off train up in cold mountain?! What kind of train ride is this, I pay money for quality service! Consumer rights you say? Aye, they have them in civilization, but none up in these lonely mountains!

最後一班列車

The last train is leaving soon. Now I cannot parry too long here with thee for I have a train to catch. You see, the tickets are not cheap and were paid by credit. Its a destination I have not been to in years, and old friends are beckoning me to see before these days are over. It shall be a view to blow away all others.

Don't worry, I will try to write back as soon as I can. Mysteries and puzzles I shall send for thee, oh to bite fingers over. Last boarding calls I hear! Adieu adieu!



Friends! Bless my journey, help me set free a thousand birds!

飛行部落

本座會在近期內施行些在線時間管制措施,完全是自願的.隨著設定倒數一分一秒的距離拉近,也該是時候了.事關重大,不能再有延誤或遺憾!不能單以脫險而出為滿足,而應該直潮向最高境界.天空那麼龐大,我的運力再微小,也應該有能力冲破那層雲端.對,就得硬咬這個理想,堅忍不拔的死懲著. 蠻接近的.

Anyone can fly in the big sky once! No more new assignments for me.. that's it, last orders have been taken last week.
Flying ceilings and cascading windows! An oblique shape-shifting crazy world leads my way to the finishing line ahahaa! BANG.

No No for An Answer

This article makes a timely arrival just when my enterprising interests are deviating in another direction. I think I must repent on my various controversial manner of handling matters. Yes, I fumble a lot, big time, especially on human resources/relations.
Imagine you can make all the people to work for you voluntarily, then when it comes to the day when you have the money to employ people to work for you, you can definitely turn it into a success, because to make great teams, it is not cash but passion and motivation.

龍船

Dragonboating was great workout for me today. Weather was cool and waters were calm. In the absence of the searing sun, it felt like the many occasions when I had canoed overseas. Slight fog and desaturation that painted a surreal atmosphere. Yes, it was always had to be in foreign lands, now for once I can row my paddle in mainland Singapore waters.

A year and two quarters since my last row, the paddle felt great to wield and swoosh about. Albeit splashing water found their way into my big mouth that was busy yelling to the rhythmic paddle calls. Now someone just had to tell the history and circumstances about the river, which involves a few decades worth of sewage. Not to mention that we came fancifully near to a barge that was fishing out drippety scoops of sludge from the river bottom. Wow, that point of time I was convinced that the salty water sure had bad aftertaste.

Later we landed on the beach, the group decided to reorganize. Dear Boss just had to be gungho and row his lot all the way to the Singapore River. The more knowledgeable among us proclaimed this feat impossible as the waterway was now sealed by the Maritime Guard, with fears that they would be fished up for this illegal attempt. So a rescue expedition formed by a hotheaded pack rushed into the boat. I observed the frantic excitement and the thought of Vietnamese boat people rose behind my mind. The remnants of the landing party then proceeded to entertain ourselves with a tug of war. Simple physics is needed to understand this, the resultant vector force decides the winner.

One more thing! On the beach I found real live mussels! Never ever found any at any of the beaches I've been to. Now I did. I do remember reading somewhere that mussels thrive near sewage outputs. Oh joy!

Sans Mission


Presenting a National Day Special random photography series. Supermarket variety, all taken today! Heck I went East Coast and chanced upon this uber Sands Mission project.

Frontal view for you to gauge its scale! Big but not huge.

Wham!! That kite is a flying missile, shoot it down!

Boohoo! Dropplets of water fell from the heavens and destroyed the smashing castle. Luck was with me since I was already bored with the castle. I did not linger on to see its destruction by the forces of Nature.

The day was not done, NDP didn't start until 6pm. So more photo-spreeing. Nay, I did not take bus.

Take that, I shot da Captain!

Standing on the 2340 mark.

Stoning figures, come to life. Chill, I dun intend to give you any money.

Been one of the largest collections in one day in a friggin long while, this shall suffice.

Beheld and Behooved

Confounded I was by the sight of a watershed moon emerging under the strangled wisps of clouds. Straying down the memory lane of my others today was quite an opportunity. Knowing that I would never see things back in their heydays, I simply listened and absorbed. Just across the divide that spans almost a parsec, I sit upon twirled sand castles of greying modernism. One must seize hope in this brave new century. Even though I may not show it but I'm quite afraid. One must have faith.

Macbees

This shall be my last philantrophic project. The nature of my work is greatly unrewarding and unappreciated by everyone around. I used to think that I was doing it for myself, with the occasional appraisals of people who happened to be close by. Really, the world is unfair, all along its been preached. The least bit of fairness that I can accord myself is to cease engaging in this rotten business. Someday .. surely .. not.

Orange Meos

Evening today there were these streaks and spirals in the sky. Been quite a while since I actually saw one. Has this been the inspiration I was seeking? I have no answers.

How great is our God! Haven did spring some sparkles.

Just Imagine
If you can imagine, you can achieve.

Free like the eagles we soar.

Maybe I'm forgetting how to imagine, oh my oh my.

Cow came on Friday for the show, I think I yakked too many unmentionables. A certain accompanying Sarah attested to being at the rally.
