You are recognised



So this unexpected call came, in the middle of my sleepy evening lecture, from a friend whom I sustain a somewhat rusty distance of friendship. 

This friend who exists in a separated realm, (of course unaware of my moodiness accumulated throughout these days), gave me a prank call with kind intentions of inviting me out on a Friday night.

I'd usually get mad if such pranks were played on me, making me worried over absurdly composed reasons, but today, it made me laugh instead. Perhaps it is absolutely wrong to laugh at a friend in "trouble", but his name kind of says it all.

On a serious note, I wonder if anyone would ever believe when this person raise his hand for help. But in any case, it was to my benefit anyway -- I laughed for the first time for what seemed like a long long time.

Chia Yao Wei, you live up to your name.

Throw the dart



Here, notes are being penned, conversations flowing and in somewhere unseen, wheels are spinning.

There, an oversight of an enigmatic atomic particle doesn't fail to take part in the competition, forming itself into a compound by stealth. Only when something triggered its edges did it show its existence, but might already be too late because I am looking at this tetris wall that has piled up in front of me.

Something so microscopic, yet so pernicious.

It's farcical how floating rainbow coloured bubbles in our imagination can change so abruptly to a discoloured imprint on a piece of wasted film.

"Trying hard to paint the colours back" is the only expression the moment could summon. I held up the palette on one hand contemplating on what colours I should clothe it with -- I suddenly forgot how it looked like minutes ago when it was still vivid.


I drop the brush.

Like the Fisherman




You don't have to meet certain people to fulfill your destiny.
