Mi Adidas - Revisited

November 23rd, 2008
The other day I was at Adidas and they told me that the new model template for Mi Adidas "Supernova" was in, and asked if I'd wanted to do a new one. Since it was almost a year ago that I'd done my previous Mi Adidas, I thought, "Okay, why not?"

Headed down to Adidas @ Vivocity with S, who also wanted to get a pair done. She did hers first, and it was pretty fierce, with lots of Reds and Yellows.

Since my previous one was Orangey, I wanted something different this time. I wanted it fierce though,
so this is what I came up with...

The Natho II aka Transformers

No prizes for guessing why I christened it "Transformers", haha.

Marriage and Relationships

November 11th, 2008

I just found out recently that one of my schoolmates is married. With a kid.

And what the hell am I doing?

Suddenly I just feel very inadequate. I'm just working hard, trying to hit my quotas, 一直在拼... but then... so what? Sure, I enjoy what I'm doing. But at the end of the day, all I have is work. I have accomplished nothing. Take it away and what do I have?

The older I get, the more I've realised that it is very, very hard for a relationship to work. Sometimes, you like the other, but the feeling is not reciprocal. Other times, it's the other way around. Sometimes, you meet the right person, but it's the wrong timing. And this is all even before you get together.

After that, there's a whole different set of issues to deal with. Staying together. Trust. Commitment. Communication.

There's just so many factors that need to be just right for a relationship to work out.

Truly, those of you who are in relationships, treasure them. Because when you get older, they are harder and harder to come by.

And then all you'll have left is work, bills to pay, and perhaps a bitter dose of Life. Everything material becomes empty.

As I get older, the answer gets clearer and clearer. The meaning of Life can be summed up in one word: Relationships.

Relationships. Be it with Family, Friends or your Significant Other. Keep the ones that matter, and trash the rest that don't. There really isn't enough time to spend with the people who should and do matter.

Treat them the way they should be treated.

"And I want to play hide and seek, give you my clothes, tell you I love your shoes, sit on the steps when you take a bath, and massage your neck. And kiss your face, hold your hand, and go for a walk. Not mind when you eat my food, and meet you at Rudy's and talk about the day. Talk about your day and laugh at your, your paranoia. I give you tapes you don't even listen to, watch great films, watch terrible films. And tell you about the TV-program I saw the night before, and not laugh at your jokes. I want you in the morning, but let you sleep in for a while. Tell you how much I love your eyes, your lips, your neck, your tits, your arse. Sit on the steps, thinking, 'till your neighbours come home. Sit on the steps thinking 'till you come home. And worry when you're late, and be amazed when you're early. I'd give you sunflowers and go to your party and dance. Be sorry when I'm wrong and happy when you forgive me. Look at your photos and wish I'd known you forever. Hearing your voice in my ear, feel your skin on my skin, and get scared when you're angry. I tell you you're gorgeous, and hug you when you're anxious, and hold you when you're hurt, want you when I smell you, offend you when I touch you and whimper when I'm next to you. Whimper when I'm not. Dribble on your breast. Smother you in the night and get cold when you take the blanket and hot when you don't. Melt when you smile, dissolve when you laugh. But not understand how you think I'm rejecting you when I'm not rejecting you, and wonder how you could ever think I'm rejecting you. And wonder who you are, but I accept you anyway. And tell you about the tree angel, the enchanted forest boy who flew across the whole ocean because he loved you. I'd buy you presents you don't want and take them away again. And ask you to marry me, and you say no again but I keep on asking because though you think I don't mean it but I always have from the first time I asked you. I wander the city thinking. It's empty without you but I want what you want and think. I'm losing myself. But... But. But. I'll tell you the worst of me and try to give you the best of me because you don't deserve any less. Answer your questions when I'd rather not, and tell you the truth when I really don't want to, and try to be honest because I know you prefer it. And think it's all over, but hang on for just ten more minutes before you throw me out of your life. Forget who I am and let me try and get closer to you. And somehow, somehow, somehow communicate some of the overwhelming, undying, overpowering, unconditional, all-encompassing, heart-enriching, mind-expanding, ongoing, never-ending love... I have for you."

Reflections of a Skyline

I normally don't like to blog about links that readers just dump into comments because it often feels like those spam links. But I absolutely had to share this one because it was too beautiful not to. Thank you for sharing this one with me...


Reflections of a Skyline. About two people in love, with so much to say, yet unable to say. Two vulnerable shells, united by only Love.

So beautiful.
