world gone mad


cyclone in myanmar,
earthquakes in taiwan and china,
tornado in mississippi,
wildfires in florida.

tens and thousands of people dead,
millions lost, homeless and helpless.

in the straits times, a photo of a family of four,
their bloated bodies tied together,
floating in the pyapon river.

it's so terribly sad.

-----
dad's back from shanghai for a week
so he missed the quake (thank god).
spent an evening with him when i flew over last week
and it's nice having dinner together,
visiting his apartment, taking polaroid shots,
exchanging dumplings and ducklings,
having a drink at my hotel's bar,
and talking about everything under the sun.

i love my deedee.

-----
ten hours in hong kong and a sleepless night
half spent partying in azure and volar in lan kwai fong
with edmund and newfound friends,
followed by time spent with him.

stolen moments that i wish
would last forever.

-----
drove past paya lebar methodist girls' school last night
and saw on their building their motto
"look up, lift up".

couldn't stop laughing.
