One blazing hot afternoon in January, Madhuri, Lili and I took a day trip to JB. The sun was relentless that day, but it didn't bother us too much since we spent most of our time in one cafe or another. Rustic white roses and baby breath arrangement outside RRR cafe Our favourite Pesto pasta at RRR cafe! Al dente, springy, mixed with just the right amount of pesto sauce. Such a favourite we made another trip to this cafe, and ordered this dish again. Very seriously photographing coconut ice cream for the 'gram Before proceeding to eat said ice cream Cute pineapple! ... That was taken down sometime between this photo and December when we next visited. Shot on: Nikon FE 50mm f/1.4 + Fuji Pro400h
In a densely populated city of 5.57 million, it's not often easy to find a space where we can be all by ourselves. Breathe, and revel in it's beauty when you find yourself there. Never be afraid of being alone.
Shot on: Nikon FE 50mm f/1.4, Ilford XP 2 Can I dwell on what I scarce remember? I held a castle on the Marches once, and there was a woman I was pledged to marry, but I could not find that castle today, nor tell you the color of that woman's hair. Who knighted me, old friend? What were my favorite foods? It all fades. Sometimes I think I was born on the bloody grass in that grove of ash, with the taste of fire in my mouth and a hole in my chest.

Why do some people retain in their memory what others have forgotten or never seen? Which is right: he who can't reconcile himself to leaving the past in obscurity, or he who thrusts into darkness everything that doesn't suit him?
- Brodeck, Phillipe Claudel Went on a short weekend trip to Malacca with Sylvia back in August last year. It was a much needed trip at that point, and I was still reeling from some unhappiness that happened before. Nonetheless, it was a good get away. Film images from the second day, shot on Kodak Gold 200: Fogged up lens, result of stepping out from the cold into the humid inferno hell of the outdoors. Love all these quaint shophouses, though I think the 24mm lens was not the best option (but the only one I had, so... ) Accidental multiple exposure, as usual Intended destination of our early morning - Low Yong Moh - for Dim Sum breakfast. They're pretty much an old school tea house, serving Cantonese dim sum. This isn't a place where your order food off a menu. Servers will tout their dishes on a big metal tray, and you pick the dishes you want off of it. Similar to dim sum trolleys, but in a tray-form I guess. Best dish of the morning was the Lotus Leaf Rice.
An avalanche of words I wish I could say to you, but never to be said, only to be kept in my heart. And my heart, it sinks under the weight of them.
I pray that you'll never understand why I've struggled in gracefully letting go, because the day you do, will be the day you experience it yourself. I will only wish that the future holds nothing but happiness for you. |
