the bright side.

from now until then,
i should just focus
on sewing and reading.
forget about the issue of
earning no bread & butter.

武俠。

喜歡武俠里的血，黑暗。
環繞死肉的蒼蠅，寫實。
一張髒兮兮的臉，魅力。
她的一句晚上見，幸福。

時間飛逝過了那麽久我仍還沒思索出來。
這樣不顧一切不斷去旅行是不是很過份。

應該不會很過份。哈。

inevitable plastic!

went to super mart with two tote bags today. YET i still ended up bringing back a lot of plastic! bread, vege, milk, toilet rolls, detergent... every single item i bought was packed in plastic! sigh...

...and our mother earth has been enduring it quietly

Some sad articles about what we have done to mother earth:

"The ocean is now an endless trail of trash floating in the middle of the Pacific: water bottles, plastic crates, disposable diapers, bath toys, cigarette lighters, tampon applicators (styrofoam, too); a veritable buffet of convenience culture.”

"The discovery in 2002 was a wake-up call for marine scientists, who realised that plastic bags and other waste were one of the biggest threats to the whales, dolphins and turtles swimming around our shores. The minke was found on the Normandy coast. At first, it was assumed she had died of natural causes. When her stomach was cut open, scientists were amazed to find nearly two pounds of plastic bags, eaten by mistake as she searched for food. The 2lb haul included two plastic bags from English supermarkets, seven transparent plastic bags, and fragments from seven dustbin bags. In an ironic twist, one of the bags found in the gut of the dead whale appears to read: "We support good farm animal welfare." Most worrying of all, there was no proper food in her stomach. "

And...plastic garbage found in dead whale's stomach too...

And we have Great Pacific Garbage Patch (or Pacific Trash Vortex), which is is a gyre of marine litter formed by pelagic plastics, chemical sludge etc, in the central North Pacific Ocean. And a recent research sponsored by the National Science Foundation suggests the affected area may be twice the size of Texas!!!

Gosh! Since I had such awareness, I've started trying my best not to take any plastic carrier while making any purchase but I realised it's hard to avoid consuming plastic in our daily life. even i use my eco shopping bag for supermarket shopping, fruits like strawberries, kiwi, or vege are all packed in plastic. many items at our home are made of plastic.

A plastic bag that we use only for a short while takes 400 years to be dissolves. I really can't foresee how much longer our mother earth can take in such shit anymore...

Oh well... let's try not to take plastic bag when we make any purchase. I guess that's the least we can do for our mother earth. Plastic is suffocating!

a love song.

"Just looking in your heart all my life
I'm searchin' for you, my sweet baby
I'm not hurtin' good good feelin'
I know who I'll have in my mind"

this song has been on loop for N times on my play list.　全然飽きないぐらい。 it feels kind of bitter sweet.

夏。

taken with seagull at caramel cafe. love the lightness from overexposure! even though it was a mistake.

當政府是無情無義無惡不做的黑幫。

我不愛看報紙。可是曾經我每天都看報紙。那是在中學時期。後來我發現，報紙上大多都是壞消息。每次看報紙後，心情都很沉重，我就漸漸放棄這習慣了, 也厭惡政治。

曾經對馬來西亞充滿希望。當時首相馬哈迪2020的口號，感覺大家對國家進步與建設充滿干勁。後來漸漸長大，看見像豺狼般貪污的馬來警察，像死蛇般懶散的馬來政府官員，像豬般沒水準的馬來政治領袖，還有不公平的種族政策，讓我極之厭惡這無能的馬來政府。為什麽在自己的國家，感覺卻像是寄人籬下？在自己的國家被當二等公民，不如到外國做游民。多少被不公平對待的華裔父母鼓勵孩子們往外“逃”。至今旅居新加坡十多年了，雖然是寄人籬下，但是至少在這里我找到很多機會，也不覺得有被不友善地對待。而那愚蠢的馬來政府在國際上做過多少羞家的蠢事，讓我們這些在海外努力爭氣的游子們在別人面前尷尬不已。

馬來西亞對我來說，感覺就像熟悉的陌生人。當別人高喊我愛我國家時，我覺得他們好幸福。我覺得好悲哀因為我喊不出來。可是仔細想想也許我把國家和政府混繞了。如果我會感覺到沉重，或許因為我還愛著這曾經美麗純樸的國土。而我那麽痛恨那些豺狼死蛇和豬，是因為它們的貪濫自私愚蠢糟蹋了這原本潛力無窮的國家。

我由衷願望那些下流卑痞爛泥扶不上壁的無情無義無惡不做的豺狼死蛇和豬他馬的慘遭天煞!

自由自在。

有時思考很多因為害怕年紀的到來。
當它真正到來時卻是那麼安靜低調，
而且潛移默化地讓我們來不及察覺。
感覺自己好像還一樣又好像不一樣。

以前有自由但不怎麼自在。
如今不只自由還十分自在。

好事來的。 越來越好。

possess less part I :: shoes

to implement my "i-want-to-possess-less" principle, i have started from cleaning up my store room today. it's kind of a re-discovery of what i've been keeping, here's the shoes section:

i bought these many many years ago. looking at them now, i find them horribly sharp! but they did look the best during their era.

the grey "ballerina" was a wrong purchase, i hadn't even worn them once.
i was overwhelmed when i saw the one with embroidery. i had never seen one with such fine and soft materials back in those days. i seriously thought they were "art". haha... now time has passed and they just look normal.

i like flats with very shallow cutting.

black colour is basic. i wear this colour most of the time. yes, my feet are boring.

there was a period of time when i was super mesmerized with light gold shoes.

it's hard to find the right red colour tone on the right shoes but every girl should at least own a pair.

well, i do explore other colours. the lightly shinny blue flats are my fav for the moment. purple flats made with felt cloths, super comfy yet not easy to match. i realised mustard yellow flats are too tight for me when i got back to sg. i guess my feet shrank while i was in london. tsumori chisato's (the one with strings) are to experimental to wear. the green sandals somehow gives me a nostalgic feel. the greyish blue oxford shoes are present from my sis which i still donno how to macth.

i love casual so much that i wear flip flop most of the time. not all of the above but mostly the white ones with tatami base. yes my favourite. this is the Nth pair i bought from Accessorize!

i used to be a super Converse fan during teenage. i was very particular about the colour combination and even a different colour tag at the back of the shoes would make me buy them. but since years ago i started to switch to more feminine style, so these are the only few pairs i still keep. they are my best travel companion. they are classic.

comfy and warm leather boots/sneaker for travel during winter.

i have given away some and left with 32 pairs now. and i should stop buying shoes for now.
