Empty, like my heart. Rochor Estate (2016)
Paid a visit here before the estate was to be demolished for the North South Expressway. Residents had mostly vacated the flats, leaving behind only discarded and abandoned items. This place has become something of an attraction for people (like me) hoping to catch a glimpse, and a photo or two before the iconic place disappears from the lion city. We must have become a nuisance for the residents.

Possibly the place in Singapore where you can find the prettiest diffused light. I watched busy strangers getting from one point to the other, and I wonder what's going through their minds. Are they missing someone like I am? Are they hunting a destination? Or are they shuffling through life, zombie-like?
War is a great broom that sweeps the world. It's the place where the mediocre triumphs and the criminal receives a saint's halo; people prostrate themselves before him and acclaim him and fawn upon him. Must men find life so gloomy and monotonous that they long for massacre and ruin? I've seen them jump up and down on the edge of the abyss, walk along its crest, and look with fascination upon the horror of the void, where the vilest passions hold sway. - Brodeck, Phillipe Claudel Spent an afternoon at the National Gallery. Marvelled at some of the art pieces, though I often wish that museums provided more educational information about them. Not everyone has the knowledge to properly appreciate them. Was all excited to visit this exhibition for free on a public holiday.. But we.. forgot all about it Favourite muse
