goodbye, so long, this is farewell.

and I hope you'll continue to enjoy my random musings and awkward poetry and etc.

guilt

A gnawing feeling
chewing your lips constantly--
the symptoms of guilt.

-i.c

okay so I've been found "guilty" for eating too much today, procrastinating, and well, not studying for examinations. i'm panicking yet at the same time, don't give a care in the world about them. 

I JUST WANNA SLEEP zzzzzz

to wait upon

To wait upon great things

is to wait for eternity-

unyielding, a sigh 

in the vast expanse

of time in this universe.

Rain

Rain.

The loveliest thing about rain is the soft pitter-patter, splashing outside your window. It could be raining torrents, but the sound has been muffled by the glass. That indescribable warm, fuzzy feeling you get from hiding under the sheets, coupled with a cup of tea and a good book.

But, I don't like the rain just because of snug sensation, in fact, it's the thrill of rain-- the thrill not in rain itself, but the moment just before the heavens pour. The wind howling, leaves rustling, and then, the first drop of rain. I wait as the sound of raindrops increases, the immense satisfaction as the rain escalates to a downpour. 

Amid a chorus, the climax, a chant, you hear your sigh lose itself in the song of the rain. And as each drop rings as it drips to the ground, the song of the rain sings you to sleep, a lullaby tugging at your heartstrings.

Why do you like the rain so much?

Don't you hear the song of the rain? Oh, it is so beautiful.

Cure and Medication

We have all fallen ill before. 

I myself have been under the weather so many times I can self-medicate. Sometimes, I ask, what is medication? If I fall ill again, is medication nothing but a temporary relief? And then of course, does a cure mean that, after medical treatment, the patient no longer has that particular condition anymore? Perhaps, and hopefully.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Feeling better after the medication?" he asks.

"Your love is enough to cure," she replies.

a little book and a tote bag.

Typography and prints are pretty much the essence of my life. I recently started using a new sketchbook and am very hyped to share what I have been up to so far.

all items from Muji except fabric markers

watercolour prints + some typography 

quick typo sketch

I also experimented with my fabric markers (I used them on paper bc I couldn't find brush pens at stationery shops) on a classic tote bag.

Fantasy fantasy on the wall

Sometimes we think we've gotten reasonably far. Or that we did pretty well.

But, when we look around, when we see the truth and not our own fairytale-like fantasy, we realise. And we break.

The truth, it hurts.

(Please bear in mind that I wrote this under 5 minutes in math class.)

When all we thought was true,

our little fantasy

in a realm of truth.

The glass wall

that held everything up

shatters, broken by itself.

Nothing holds it it up anymore,

nothing left behind,

except a heart perhaps,

torn at its core.
