thinking aloud

I would, if I could, run away.
Without a goodbye.
But, will I ever look back one day, and realize that I was just this close from getting what I want?

I would, if I could, hang on.
Without a waver.
But, will I ever look back and realize that I was the only person standing between me and happiness?

I knew it wasn't gonna be easy, but no one told me it's gonna be this tough.
If only I even had a morsel of conviction in me...
Oh, Jasmine. Stop it.


Secondhand Serenade - Is There Anybody Out There?
[Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/secondhand_serenade/is_there_anybody_out_there.html]

You can say goodbye,
To all the things that you have ever known.
You can say goodbye,
And leave behind the life that you have grown.

What's the point,
You try to start from scratch,
But get let down,

You can say goodbye,
Just to realise there's no-one left around.
So what am I fighting for?

Tell me
Is there anybody out there?,
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone?,
Am I looking for an answer?
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there?
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried?,
I'm looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

You can live and die,
Without the chance to find out what your worth,
You can live and die,
And never find the one that she'd deserve,
You can walk alone,
And live inside the shadows in your heart,

You can say goodbye
Only to find you've been alone right from the start
So what am I fighting for?

Tell me
Is there anybody out there?,
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone?,
Am I looking for an answer?
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there?
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried?,
I'm looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

Art is...

... A multi-purpose card
(The small print on the top says "*delete / select where appropriate)
So useful, it makes sense to order in bulk
Singapore Biennale 2011, Singapore Art Museum

... A tribute for an unsung hero
Sometimes, it is just a matter of perception
Singapore Biennale 2011, Old Kallang Airport
Singapore Biennale 2011, Old Kallang Airport
Singapore Biennale 2011, Old Kallang Airport

... the sound of 39 metronomes beating to a different rhythm each
It threatened to drive me to insanity
Singapore Biennale 2011, Old Kallang Airport

... A portrait of a popcorn
Hmmmm.... nice frame
Singapore Biennale 2011, Old Kallang Airport

... A 7 minute video of a McDonald's outlet being flooded
Killed my appetite to have a McValue meal for lunch
Singapore Biennale 2011, National Museum of Singapore
Singapore Biennale 2011, National Museum of Singapore

... A few beautiful words on a dusty window pane
Whatever it means, it just feels oh-so-romantic
Singapore Biennale 2011, Old Kallang Airport
Singapore Biennale 2011, Old Kallang Airport

... Graffiti on the wall
Indeed, i don't
