Parasite


Things She would have told me: 

"Its okay", she said.
"Look at the plants, see how they grow? Some have the company of others but do not grow as tall as the ones who grow alone." 

"Which one are you?", she asked.
"The second. I feel alone sometimes. I feel alone today." I answered. 
"and thats okay...you know that right?" she said before turning to walk away, leaving me completely abandoned and alone. 

The best of you workshops

[ track to listen to now: Family- Catey Shaw
This song totally fits the mood I am in while writing this now haha

OMGGGGG
Its been such a wonderful week!!!
Tiring no doubt! BUT WHAT JOY, to be able to meet so many new faces and talk to so many fun personalities who shared and open up about their lives and the best of them. Once again, a huge thank you to all who came down, and the Julies team (esp Mr and Mrs Su and Tse Horng)  who put together this amazing exhibition and social movement. And holla to the guys at Kloo! Thank you for letting me be a part of this. Totally humbled and inspired. 

Here are some photos of the event. I'll be including a fb album link at the end of this post where you guys can either share or just grab the photos of your own work. xx 







My little assistant Riri San, who is so eager to help out on all 3 days. She can even teach you the stitches I taught her. So people'll be like "can you help to get the pink threads?" and she'll just run over to the other side of the table to grab them for you.
so as a reward for helping me, we had KFC. hehehehe.
and she made me a gift! I is touched and happy.

Thank you all for being a part of this amazing week with me. Must listen to the song okay. Really fits the mood. You can view the rest of the photos and download/grab the photos from this link. I've put it on public mode on fb so you may use or share this album. HERE  If you have any questions or anything at all, (or the link isn't working?? i hope not!!) just leave me a comment below. I will get back to you. xx

Morning Lesson.

Weakness has a smell. Like fear.
Its almost repulsive. Like olives.
No matter how hard you try to mask it, it reeks. To me at least.
And so you put up a front, of walls and pillars and strength laced with a fraction of humour and a tinge of cockiness.
The sweet scent of your attempt trying to surface, but all I smell is Weak Weak wEak weak WEAK.

well.
don't get too cocky. Never let me see you coming.
Thats the gaff, my friend.
Make yourself look small.
Be the Loser, the Cripple, the Outcast, the Nerd, the Leper, the Freak.

"look at me- i've been underestimated since day one"

and then, you win.
Question is: what then?


The Best Of You

HI GAIZ.

hows it going. I've had about the most craziest and the most exciting week all in one. One of the highlights of my week so far would definitely have to be the launch and opening of The Best Of You exhibition at Marina Square. 

Creeping around my work to see who's looking. hehehehe. 
So honoured to be able to be in the same frame as Mr and Mrs Su and Tze Horng. \^_^/ 
Hi everyone meet Riri San, she's so super cute I want to put her in my pocket. She doodled some flowers and trees for her mother because she is the best of her. 
and heres a picture of a dad, picking up embroidery for his daughter and meticulously embroidering a picture of a princess his daughter drew.
tadahhhhh. Here are some other works from the workshop!









Thanks all for coming down and being a part of this and sharing what the best of you is. I will be conducting two more days of workshops at Marina Square over the weekend. Its free for public, but you got to register in advance at The-best-of-you.com. COME SAY HI.

aaaaaand I'm out.
ciao.

Ka-o

Ka-o


"My impression is that she's very good natured. she's cheerful and considerate, so she's well received, but I still get the feeling that she's putting it on. Of course in this industry, everyone fakes it to some extent, but it seems to me that she's always forcing herself to be cheerful. Even her thoughtfulness is kind of painful to watch. 

She's pretty, but, how can I put it, its like she's afraid of living. I think she brings out the worst in people. Its like the part of her that's afraid, the part of her that's insecure, can't help accepting other people's weakness. It worries me to see that."
