Add to Memories Tell a Friend
autumn 08


been noticing these crate-men scattered alongside various train tracks since last year...

FINALLY got around to capturing some of them...

( the speed of the train affected the image clarity )

riding a "bull / horse"...


havin a smoke...


weight lifting...


being dodgy under a bridge...


sitting up high...

i do love the number 6... it has been kind to me.. or perhaps simply because it happens to be the first number of my date of birth...
i sometimes lean towards 3... and now and again 9....

at some point within the last 6 months, i woke up one morning with the following equation in my head...
and i thought it would be pretty cool if the equation actually did work that way...
looking at the equation evokes the same feelings i have when i look at a form of 'great' design...
it is as special as a moment of silence...

1 2 3  +  4 5 6   =   7 8 9

a couple of minutes ago, my 'obsession' with the equation which in my eyes, appear to be 'designer~perfect' developed a little further while it was casually discussed over a telephone conversation...

1+2+3
= 6

4+5+6 =15
1+5
= 6

7+8+9 =24
2+4
= 6

therefore on some level,

6 + 6 = 6

playing with numbers can be quite entertaining...

while reading veronika decides to die... i imagined, that if it were to be made into a movie,
the main character would be played by audrey tautou...

looks like the alchemist is being turned into a movie as well...
to be produced by laurence fishburne...

interior architecture

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

when designing interiors, for me, it is all about playing with light ...natural or artificial... 

i adore linear elements especialy when they are repetitive...

the hindu new year sports red as it's colour this year...

the luggage tag : a daily reminder to keep chasing after my dreams

tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. and no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
~ paulo coelho ~


 A sucker for adventure ~ I'm headed somewhere and somewhere is meant for me ~ Don't need no map to guide me ~ Where ever I end up is where I'll be ~ Goin' somewhere nowhere fast  ~ As I drift further out sea the past floats behind me ~ If I don't reach land tonight ~ I'll drown in my own insecurity ~ Sailin' in my li'l red boat ~ Prayin' to god he will keep me afloat ~ While I'm sailin' in my li'l red boat ~ 'til I find my way to shore ~ Stuck out here by myself ~ I'm blindly rushing to somethin' I can't see ~ High tide with sharks around ~ Send out an S.O.S. come rescue me ~ My life looks greener now ~ What I wished for and got all turned out to be tumbleweed ~ The sweet turned salty on me ~ I guess I paid the price for being free ~ To the things that I know ~ But I know I can't stay here too long ~ So if every journey helps me grow ~ Oh well I'll just keep movin' on

sprinklers sometimes try to be in the centre of attention,
but are kind enough to include the light fittings,
by sending some water their way...

the carpets soak it all up...
and send some water through the center of the walls
to their fellow carpets on the floors below...

fire has yet to make an appearance...

my strangest encounter with nature this year : lying on a patch of fake grass in a field....

upon first noticing this serious defect, my exact thoughts : " what the @#*% !! "

just imagine the conversations taking place between the natural blades + the plastic blades.....
