just came back from the church, was attending the old testaments series, week three or four, it's so good really, to learn about the jews and their take on the bible, on the jewish scripture. and the speaker is so good i feel like the bible is a new book i wanna go read read read and discover.

i left the office today feeling a tad sad, though more jubilant. the people there are fabulous. i will miss teasing lenny and talking to zita...the faces there. i just remembered i still have a document of crap verse ramblings on my desktop and have not deleted it. i left it for the next user to read... continue my exsistence in the office, heh. but i'll still go back for the seminars that hb has when he has time.

i didnt' finish louis kahn's book so i'll go library to borrow it some day. hb recommended some books when i asked him to recommend books i could read while travelling and i'll have to look them up in the library. wynnie lent me high fidality, and the vcd as well. i gave her my spare copy of lisa ekdahl. spread the joy, the good sounds.

drinking in: the velvet underground, azure ray (when they sing Displaced they sound like Aimee Mann), and the Felicity soundtrack wyn lent me.

this is surreal.

met liam at the mrt station. so excited to go back to school, well, i think the stint at the office has made me more optimistic. i dont' wanna ever kill that optimism for being inspired. somehow only a few pple in nus are openly ready to share their inspirations.


"the city is the place of availabilities. It is the place where a small boy, as he walks through it, may see something that will tell him what he wants to do his whole life....

The measure of the greatness of a place to live must come from the character of its institutions, sanctioned by their sensitivity to desire for new agreement, not by need, because need comes from what already is. Desire is the thing not made, the roots of the will to live. (--Lobell, pp.44-5) " - Louis Kahn
