GSE is recording

The band is in the process of recording our album right now. Hence, we are accepting fewer gigs due to the tight recording schedule. Juggling work and the long recording hours is seriously a health hazard. Irregular sleeping hours. Less than 5 hours of sleep a day. Irregular meals. Been really ill once, it made me more self-aware when I start to abuse my body and taking it beyond its limits. Things are alittle slower this week. I finally get my full 8 hours of sleep. I am looking forward to playing at Zoukout on December 9 at Sentosa. Can't wait.

I is Scientist

Great bands. Great music. At an interesting venue. Come join us at The Singapore Science Centre.

Hotel Fabriken in Sweden

Fabriken
A small, cozy hotel with 17 rooms.

Situated in an abandoned limestone quarry on furillen, a barren island near gotland in sweden.

The serenity.

The wide open space.

I wanna go there. I wanna go there.

keeping a pet is a lifetime commitment

I really want to keep a cat as a pet but I know it is a lifetime commitment.

I am still considering.

I want to make sure that I am ready for that kind of commitment.

To all things pretty

The biggest challenge was to

not let life's unpredictability get me.

But I somehow learnt that

unpredictability can be what makes life so wonderful.

Without this realisation,

everything will and can be exponentially more difficult.

I, now,

embrace possibilities with open arms.

*I wanna dance among the stars*

*Will you take me there?*

Women and their shoes

I love Ked's Demon series.

When I grow up, I wanna be a baker

I wanted to be a pastry chef when I was a kid. I love the smell of freshly-baked anything. I want to bake the comforting, delicious, sinful, butter-laden, pretty desserts. I want to bake a work of art. They look so good that you stare at them and can't bear to eat them. A special treat that'll make everyone smile. Can you smelllLLLlllllll it?!!

Missing Person

Dr Yogi Ram

No longer the instructor of my regular yoga classes. The one who inspired me to do my first ever headstand. His passion and enthusiasm for yoga was immediately apparent to me. Savasana never meant as much in my other classes and I yoga-tripped (got high on meditation) once, in his class. If you know of his whereabouts, please let me know.

The artwork, 'Let Hope'

Royal College of Art (Kensington Gore, London, UK)

3-6 November 2006

Metropolitan Pavilion (New York City)

6-8 December 2006

I can't be there for both exhibition. I missed the London show. It was so surreal as I got into bed on the opening day of the London exhibition, knowing that at the other side of the world, someone is looking at the artwork. I miss the artwork already. As I spoke to Damian on the phone while he was standing infront of the work, I wish I was there instead, with Sweetie, just right next to me. It would have made the whole art-making process so complete.

Cancer Lyrics

My Chemical Romance

Cancer Lyrics

Turn away

If you could get me a drink

Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded

Call my aunt marie

Help her gather all my things

And bury me

In all my favorite colors,

My sisters and my brothers, still,

I will not kiss you,

Cause the hardest part of this,

Is leaving you.

Now turn away,

Cause I'm awful just to see

Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body,

All my agony,

Know that I will never marry,

Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo,

But counting down the days to go.

It just ain't living

And I just hope you know,

That if you say, Good-bye today,

I'd ask you to be true,

Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you...

Cause the hardest part of this, Is leaving you...

My Chemical Romance - Cancer

What role does music play in your life?

During a band interview, someone asked. At that point, I said, "My i-pod just died on me so I have been rather miserable without it. Running without it, isn't the same. Without music in my ears, it makes busrides, trainrides painful to bear." Sweetie's answer: "Music is the soundtrack of our lives." Brilliant answer!

So here's the soundtracks of my day:

Saxon Shore 's "Be a Bright Blue"

Woven's "Beautiful"

Saxon Shore's "Luck Will Not Save Us From A Jackpot Of Nothing"

The Cure's "To The Sky"

Brookhaven's "Transitive Verses"

The Greenhomes' "Unnatural Habitat"

The Flaming Lips' "SunShip Balloons"

Brookhaven's "Black Phase"

Elkland's "Everytime You Tell Me That You Love Me"

Ryan Han is the recipient of the "Most Compassionate Primary 1 student" award.

Wow.. Schools these days pay attention to values like this, other than the usual focus on academic acheivements. It's amazing!

I could feel his jubilation from my end of the phone.

He has done his grandfather proud. That's for sure.

Compassion, a value that my Dad placed much importance on.
