Unphotographable

This is a picture of a little girl who had on a simple t shirt, short pants and a pair of traditional red clogs. She looked like she belonged in a classroom of primary one kids. It was dinner time at a hawker center which was located near a lrt station. The place was packed and yet the girl was sitting on a wooden stool, in a dark corner, washing the dishes alone.

I swore I lost all my appetite then. People should never learn to breed unless they are perfectly capable of providing a happy childhood.

6+ 31 days to the new year.

There a certain sense of surrealism when you look back into the past, or perhaps its just me. But in the recent one year, my reality has lost more stability than it ever had before. As much as I like to think that a person's path is chosen by themselves, but there are some things, some places and yes, some people that we seem naturally inclined to cross paths with, and there really isnt anything we can do about it.

Note: This is as far as I can go about talking about work here.

Communication Breakdown.

When people talk about conversations, they talk about-wavelength. They talk about frequency. I used to have a better reception of what you had in mind. And now, all I get is static. I strongly suspect, in the end, I would just give up trying to decipher white noise.

But I really dont want to turn the dial yet.
Im just not ready.
