约了以往的朋友， 发现原来我们都一样没有变地在人生摩天轮上绕着。 她也还是
乐观地寻找爱情的依靠，一个一个。 我也一样，从之前的雾里看花到今天的
风中望沙。 同一个轨道上，努力说服自己曾在这过程中成长。

问我不会累吗？ 同一天内被两个人说我太好强，应该学着软弱。 其实我也很想
的。 可是， 发现没有工作的我，没有重心，性格，也没有话说了。

Hope

Hope is such an interesting thing. It lights a flame within the soul,
simultaneously striking the heart with so much fear. It paralyzes you.
And I now, I shall learn to live with this hope...

I realised that the old scars of the past still stings when uncovered.
Can't differentiate if that numbed pain is from the unrecovered wound
or just the disgust of facing the damage so trufully...

It's been a very bad night... And I'm still trying to pull through....

So sylvie i think you can't vet it for me le. Coz I'll probably only be done with it early morning tmr (like in the AM zones of today)..

I found myself a curator - i think it might work.

Ps: have not been productive at all, since 4.46pm when my feet entered my room. Oh dear...

Anyways, today's a relatively good day. A friend dropped from my list of friends and became semi-leech position. Some sour lemons and grapes, some shoes in my face, but otherwise pretty good. Shaw Hong gave me some solid advice about how things should progress from here. And without being willful any longer, I gave my position as artistic director of the project and found a curator to handle the artsy work. (Ps: I'm adverse to doing so formerly, because of really a**hole examples. )

But the talks went fine and easy. My ex-lecturer, now curator, let's call her, B thought for about 3 secs (maybe she didn't really know how much work it entails, maybe she does) and said "Yes". And concept-wise, the flow has been quite good. B even mentioned a project in the states, so similar my P859. There's a photography book for it, and it's now top-place on my buy list, below it there's a new toothbrush and loose powder.



I want to share this project with you. If you're reading, its called 3191 Miles Apart. About two women photographers who take random shots of their mornings and uploaded it on flickr, never met each other but became friends. Like a urban fairytale.
http://3191.visualblogging.com/ - which is current.
http://3191ayearofmornings.com/mornings/ - which is about the book.


... these are vignettes of simple everyday things: a cup of coffee, soft-boiled eggs, rain boots kicked off at the front door, the stem of a flower, many crumpled napkins, many spoons. Though the two women were 3,191 miles apart the images are complementary in their color and composition more often than not. Sometimes startlingly so. The blog, and the book that followed after a year’s worth of images (and 3,000 visitors a day from Australia to Iceland), capture the rhythms of everyday life, often surprising the viewer by the sheer beauty of the most quotidian element. That each woman paused to record the curve of a daughter’s ear, a bowl of cereal or a shadow cast across the floor before sitting down in front of a computer is an act that carries with it the most clichéd, yet essential, of all messages: stop and smell the roses (and the coffee, the toast, the morning air). We’re living in difficult times, and it seems it’s exactly these tiny details and fleeting moments that can offer us the most solace and even joy. —Allison Arieff, The New York Times

How beautiful. 107 days. J

Da-duh! Finally done on the final draft of the Event info. Seriously it's been edited like 10 times and over. Finally done with loads of help from Jonana the legal consultant - of which without can never be done with my not-so-recent expression deficiencies.
ps: in jas's room now. My air-con's dead... and ah tong is on the bed, with jas. and i might be sleeping on the floor tonight... Sighs...这年头，做人还不如一只狗!

Part of the i-AM Festival, LASALLE ’10 Arts Management Diploma Show (19 March - 27 March 10), 4AM st(art) is a visual arts project by a team of four students of the Arts Management Programme challenging conventional boundaries of art exhibitions. Under this project, two concurrent non-profit exhibitions titled Project 859 and Moments held at Orchard Central will create a novel artistic experience in a unassuming environment receptive to any audience. The concept of an artist will also be reconstructed by juxtaposing artistic displays forged by collaborative efforts of participants without any artistic expertise in Project 859 alongside mainstream artworks in Moments.

Project 859 is a participative new media photography exhibition depicting the symphony of life in Singapore at one synchronized moment. Over the course of one week, members of the public will be asked to photograph a moment in their lives at 0859 daily. Entries will be organised and displayed without artistic censorship to capture all notions of art. It is hoped that this artistic collaboration by virtual strangers will bridge distances between people through the realisation and celebration of similarities and differences in individual lifestyles.

Of particular notice is the showcase of ‘859 Community Feature’, a series of photographs depicting the lives of children living in 15 local children homes at 0859h. This aims to help increase awareness and social involvement in the less fortunate communities in Singapore.

Moments is a visual arts exhibition showcasing various young & emerging artists. The focus of Moments stems from famed philosophical quotes exploring the concept of time and of conflicting emotions of familiarity, anxiety and distance. The concept of Moments is for the exhibition to be integrated as part of the retail mall. The aim is to allow the galleries to be chanced upon randomly by shoppers, facilitating their participation in the arts.
