Telecomms tower
For the whole day no one wished me happy bdaymeanwhile, at the back of my mind plays part of the song "Mad World":
Children waiting for the day they feel goodA life-affirming occasion and no one cared to remember. Felt like shit but the pain was numbed by my resolution to shrink away.
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Then at night, after our nightly briefings (i dozed off at this one), they sprang the surprise on me.
Even the teachers were in on it: they ordered e cakes fr Secret Recipe. I heart their Choc Indulgence
Wanlin and Vivien are so sweet they make me diabetic. Can't thank them enough.

Visit to padi field and milling factory
While the rest were snapping away at the padi fields i stayed in the bus
denying myself direct contact, admiring the way things of nature swayed to the breeze.
Conceptualised, and eventually finished this:
Undocumented change
Lost enough self-worth
Gained enough self-consciousness
to not want myself immortalised against backdrops of beauty
Am not everywhere.
Behind the viewfinder once
To cherish what time is ravaging
No conceding smile for the camera, which could be foe.
Each version is lost to myself
Nothing but the vague to remember life by.
Your experience united by an entity
which in turn is built on experience -
Which came first?
Missing from moments when you were awed
They could have been taken from the Net.
You can't construct anything.
