Soul-searching Day

I didn’t expect that Saturday to be soul-searching day so there was no notebook, no pen, and no camera. It was just me, myself, and I. Okay, maybe with my phone on silent mode, and wristlet. Plus my two walking feets. I just heart walking. Without any pen/notebook, I used my phone text function as an electronic technology way of doing things.
(I decided that this Saturday would be soul searching day as I started off my day being super super selfish and irritating and I am still feeling this way. (if you wanna know pm me) I just can’t believe I cried over such matter. Someone should talk some sense into me. Speak it into my brains and make sure it processes.)
Anyhow, I started off with…

Today is a soul seaching sat. While walking from City Hall MRT Station to City Hall (Biennale) the wind was strong; let the wind blow my bangs. Ignore the world, don’t care how people look at me this Sat. Let them see through you, the centre parted bangs. (If I see obstacles, I face it and carry on with life.)
Biennale’08 -
The volunteer greeted me with a friendly wide smile and cheery voice. It just makes me so excited. Being a student somehow is still “cool” cause you get student rates. $5 for entry of the Biennale. I didn’t know where to walk. I explored and walked into the room of art pieces by children/kids. Walking into “alice in wonderland” you smell the crayons from the artworks of the children just brings you back to when you were drawing with crayons once again.

Then when you walk into the next room you see this few figures “standing” sticking into some styrofoam blocks. Then you read the description you see it titled “when I grow up” what do you first think of?(besides the PCD) You think of what you actually ambition yourself to be when you were younger as a kid. I’d want to be a Teacher! What about you?

The next level was interesting as maggots welcome you to the 2nd level. It was art. Then you enter into this big huge room showing the map of Singapore, literally entirely. I then decided to name it “standing on art” myself haha. I thought that this was really creative and interesting. I was welcomed with a volunteer explaining to me what this is all about and he gave me a sticker. On that sticker I can write anything I wanted. This was to show unity. Look out for my sticker! I wrote the date(18October), soulsearching sat. When I am lost. Trust God. and signing off hellogoodbye.

The following level has got a lot of exhibits. From photography, digital art, videos, short films, and many more. The second thing that incites this journey was the moving images and the black and coloured flowers.

I don’t know if you can see clearly from the pictures. Like I said earlier all I had was my phone, the highest technology after my e-z link card. The first picture shows you a field full of pretty colourful flowers from the front, but when you get behind, the whole field is black. The artist is not trying to portray facade but trying to portray devastate and life. When you stand at half-court, you just see colour and dullness. Stand at half-court when you are there, first face left and then face right, you’ll get what I mean.

The other interesting work is the moving stationary artwork. It is a kind of illusion thing. Truly, amazing.you can’t see the illusion thing through a taken picture but when you are there, walk from the start of the art to the end and back, or walk towards it and back. :)

South Beach Development.


all these would greet you when you are entering the South Beach Development site.
-”How do I tell her I love her? I looked at her clear big eyes And her slightly open lips I desperately wanted to kiss her pink cheek (Funny I only thought of kissing her cheek but not her lips)”

Honestly, the South Beach Development was a little freaky to actually walk alone but Trust God! :) I liked it when I first stepped it just incites your sense of smell. Detergent? Soap? Perfume? Freshener? You just have no clue on what that smell is. All you see is a big field of “white sand” so you just ignore it. You read the description. It IS ALL SOAP!! Awesome! I like the way it smelt, which brand is it? I don’t know. haha

The rest of South Beach Development. I like the beauty salon but I just don’t feel like taking any pictures of it. It was like the room with NO reflections.
add on (side-note): “Within the notions of wonder, mirari, to wonder at, to marvel, to miraculum, literally, meaning miracle, anything wonderful, beyond human power, and deviating from the common action of nature are things that catch us off guard.”

Haji Lane. Ginger beer! :)

Sungei Rd. Theives Market.
Nothing I can buy. Interesting. :)
I saw Uncle Lim!! Still driving the Accession’s School Bus still as dark as ever, wow, memories.

Little India.

Walked through this tent, like a flea, many nice stuff in celebration of Deepavali. Did Henna painting!!!It was expensive! :( $15 but I had fun la. Walked through and then to my favourite 24 hour shopping centre, MUSTAFA!!!! Bought “Napoloean Dynamite” and batteries.
Went to Farrer Park MRT and caught a train to Serangoon and 70 home. (memories memories memories)

ALL FOR SOUL SEARCHING.
I found the inner contentment and lonesome self.
