i want to go back to that windy jetty in kukup and make a video.
i will fold paper boxes in different colors, happy colors but all pale and desaturated, like a muted kind of happiness. they will be the kind where every side is covered up.
then i will find those small fireworks, and load up each cube with one inside.
i will push them all out to sea at the same time, and i will film everything...

David Abbott's Chivas Ad
Had this conversation with Cheryl (Lee), who said that advertising people are dishonest. I don’t know, but I think if you want to convince millions of people with your words, you have to be at least some sort of honest. Who would listen to a dishonest man?
Below is the copy from one of the best long copy ads I’ve seen. David Abbott’s ad for Chivas Regal, one Father’s Day...

One of my philosophy professors lectured wildly about love once, yelling: “When you’re in love with someone, that person is the lighthouse of your universe.” (I scrawled it inside Science and Poetry in pencil—lighthouse of your universe—as if I would ever forget that phrase.)
He was a delightful caricature of his position. I could swear he literally tore his hair out while...
last day away from fb
today is the last day that i will be away from fb. 2pm last tuesday to 2pm tomorrow, that will be seven days.
the internet does seem surprisingly less attractive without facebook, but tumblr, and countless other sites have made a good substitute. of course the whole reason why i fasted from fb was to put aside what was distracting me, and i did gain a new perspective in so many things while i was...
Right place at the right time
“The great moments of your life won’t necessary be the things that you do, they’ll also be the things that happens to you. No, I’m not saying that you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life - you have to take action, and you will. But never forget on any day, you can step out the front door, and your whole life can change forever. You see, the universe...
I am sick of books about community, so I’m hesitant to write about it in this space. I’ve learned that community rarely feels like that mountaintop experience in college, in the dorms, at midnight, when you and your buddies are confessing your sins, talking about girls, and perhaps talking about God and solving the church’s problem over cold pizza. That situation is tailor-made for community...
I'm in NTU
Just realized that the past 3 weeks, I have been spending more time in the main parts of NTU than in wkwsci.
And I only just thought of how differently all of us see uni life. When wkw was still not a construction site, and my friends were all still around, school life looked and was so much different from now.
I really miss all my school friends. But it is a chance to know new people, and know...
C C C, I know you will read this.
It’s very hard. I’m sorry.
I better stop this, I want to be happy, of course I do. But I want you to be happy more and I don’t want to become sad baggage you have to drag all around.
I’m fine, I’m good, I’m a grown boy and I will deal with it like a grown-up should.
And I really appreciate what you are doing for me, I really do!
Be happy ok? I’ll find...

Insomnia
This is the second time recently that I am sitting in front of my laptop, after failed attempts to go to sleep.
Tonight, I’ve been chasing thoughts in my head. Chasing them down and trying to shut them out. But with each thought that I deny, my heart is filled with another bit of emptiness, and frankly, it is quite hard to get to sleep when your heart is so full of emptiness.
I am not...
