两个男孩. 在纸上的. 对话
他说：
阳光照不进的心房
黑暗中我反复挣扎
争脱被压抑受困的快乐
眼里的一片泪海都干涸了
荒芜的思念不禁强迫
让我发出了连续无声的呐喊
他说：
阳光 照不进的心房
黑暗中不被看见的挣扎
用快乐压抑悲哀
把泪水装进了心里
不绝的思念 淹没被爱的心
呐喊 在心房里回应着 无声的黑暗

Random Reflections
How ironic to be writing this on the day I'm extracting my wisdom (tooth).
Going through my past writings when I realize how much I have grown over the span of four years. From the insolent boy to the religious fanatic to the dejected youth to struggling student. These changes took place so slow that I failed to notice it. To the core of it, I'm not the same boy who wrote the first post many years ago.
Over the years, many thoughts and ideas kept coming back, resurfacing after years. Some came back full circle while others conflicted each others.
How funny the first thing I wrote about someone inspiring was "saw him for the first time today... sort of reminds me of someone but can't tell who... " Almost seems like a crush, most probably my own imagination at play.
School's been a series of unfortunate events. Shall not dwell on it anymore.
My point has just been proven that there are friends whom you can never work with. I need to find the people I can work with. I need to work on something.
Left my msn on last night and my deepest fear came to visit again. The senior who has been pushing me to produce work ever since I knew him. I am ashamed to talk to him. I need to proof I didn't make the wrong choice. Not to anyone else but myself.
Feeling even more lost after my reflections.
On a lighter side, I'm developing a crush on a certain DJ. hahahahahah. [this is so secondary school]

拥抱
作词：阿信 作曲：阿信 编曲：五月天
脱下长日的假面 奔向梦幻的疆界
南瓜马车的午夜 换上童话的玻璃鞋
让我享受这感觉 我是孤傲的蔷薇
让我品尝这滋味 纷乱世界的不了解
昨天太近 明天太远 默默聆听那黑夜
晚风吻尽 荷花叶 任我醉倒在池边
等你清楚看见我的美 月光晒干眼泪
哪一个人 爱我 将我的手 紧握
抱紧我 吻我 喔 爱 别走
隐藏自己的疲倦 表达自己的狼狈
放纵自己的狂野 找寻自己的明天
向你要求的誓言 就算是你的谎言
我需要爱的慰藉 就算那爱已如潮水
----------------------------------------------
只要一个拥抱 一切就会变好
朋友 来个拥抱吧！
Free Hugs!

Lost in Digitization
Sunday, I spent the whole afternoon along the cosy street of Telok Ayer shooting a three-shot sequence for my Digital Film Production class. It was basically about a guy, his polaroid camera, old shophouses and a childhood playride. A lot of takes for a few minutes sequence. At the final shot, the original effect I wanted didn't turn out. So I came out with the idea of a polaroid of a kid on the ride. The problem is we didn't planned to have a kid for the shoot. Just at the moment, a Japanese family of 5 walked towards us. I went up to the mom, who is holding the hands of a boy [just what i needed] and tried to explain that I'm doing a project and if the boy could help me in a shot. The mother actually rejected but the father, who was walking slightly infront, turned and asked [in the most basic of English and Japanese and Sign Language] where and how long, and agreed to help. So we took like mere seconds to reframe the shot, got the kid on the ride, took a polaroid and shot the polaroid developing. I took another shot for the kid as a gift. Sounds like a shoot that went smoothly right?
Today in class, we were suppose to digitize the footage and edit it. We tried but had a lot of problem with the tape. It turned out, the tape that we thought was new was actually an old tape. And it is somehow dirty and affecting the capturing of the footage. End up, the nice shots [Mr Pang, our tech thinks so too] are forever lost in the dirty DV tape.
The polaroid is the only thing left from the shoot. I am very sad now.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Just finished watching Micheal Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A movie about memories [don't wanna spoil it for those who haven't watched it] It dawned on to me the thing that I find most intriguing and most probably would be the main idea for my stories I had and those to come.
The idea of memories, dreams, and fantasy. Things which helps us to remember, to escape, to hide, to denial, to forget, to hold on, to find, to accept, to answer, to question, to wonder. Things which are both good and bad, which are neither too. The duality of the mind cast different lights on the same thing.
The past and the future co-existing in the present.

Singapore Short Cuts
Went to see short cuts at the museum today. Kinda angry that they were late. Didn't get better seats but got to see it anyhow. Thanks to Winnie for picking up the tickets for me. Kinda looking forward to the day I sit at the front.
