It's also the personal record of my journey in life behind the lens and in front the computer.

And The Boys
Sunday, April 25, 2010, 8:59 PM



It's been days now
and you change your mind again
it feels like years,
and i can tell how time can bend your ideas

and the boys go on and on and on and on
and the boys go on and on and on and on
and there's gold falling from the ceiling of this world
falling from the heartbeat of this girl
falling from the things we should have learned
falling from the things we could have heard

well it's been days now
and you change your mind again
all the cracks in the walls reminds you of things we said
and i could tell you that i wont hurt you this time
but it's just safer to keep you in this heart of mine

and the boys go on and on and on and on
and the boys go on and on and on and on
and there's gold falling from the ceiling of this world
falling from the heartbeat of this girl
falling from the things we should have learned
falling from the things we could have heard

and the boys go on and on and on and on
and the boys go on and on and on and on
and there's gold falling from the ceiling of this world
falling from the heartbeat of this girl
falling from the things we should have learned
falling from the things we could have heard

falling from the people that we heard
falling from the love we never earned
falling from the sky that should have burned
falling from my heart.

I don't need any of these boys who keep coming around.
I only intend to keep the one I have already found.

Yours truly,
Poison Ivy

Alone In Paris

Photo above: Stranded for one more night in Paris after the plane had to return back to the airport due to an electric malfunction.
Scary, I know. Nonetheless, I got to spend the night at Pullman Hotel (amazing place) courtesy of Singapore International Airlines.
And later that morning, the snow came falling down. It was really magical.

Photo below: On top of the Eiffel Tower. It was absolutely freezing and windy.

Heart
Thursday, April 22, 2010, 8:29 PM


I left my heart beneath grains of sand, I left my heart in the sea.
I left my heart in Sentosa, where there was only you and me.
I left my heart in your hands, and that is where it would always be.

Hopefully.


Yours truly,
Poison Ivy

I've been listening to Coldplay the whole day.
Even their old EPs.

It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling of the night I caught them live in Singapore in 2009.
Yes, those are the photos I took.

Since I'll be going to New York soon (hopefully after saving enough moolah),
I really hope I can make it to this gig.

Wallflower
5:38 AM




"I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years.
Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that.
I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this.
That's why I'm trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning."

Noise Singapore 2010

My kids at school.

This photo I took won Merit Prize in the Noise Singapore 2010 (Photography) Competition.
I won a 32GB Ipod Touch!

P.S. Those who regularly visit my Flickr, I won't be uploading anymore photos there because there's a 200-photo limit (and I'm too broke to go Pro).

I'll be using this blog to post all my pictures from now on.
Stay tuned!

Yours truly,

Prism
Monday, April 19, 2010, 10:24 PM

Spectrum Prism

Parallel to the weather in this endless city,
Torrential showers, we're suddenly pouring,
We can't hear ourselves, we're screaming,
We can't see ourselves, we're seperating,
We can't feel ourselves, we're evaporating,
Like frozen statues, awaiting dismay,
Watching cerulean skies fade to gray

Pregnant clouds are bursting,
My tears are overflowing,
The thunder is roaring,
Your voice is piercing,

I tried radiating like the sun,
But you were the coldest of all days,
Behind the thick darkened curtains,
You can't feel my warmth,
You can't see me burning,
You can't see me setting

For you, I will never shine again,
Never shine again, for you know I can't

Pregnant clouds are bursting,
My tears are overflowing,
The thunder is roaring,
Your voice is piercing,

And now that you're vanishing,
The gray clouds are fading,
These streets are safe for walking,
The stillness of this city speaks,
This is when I'll be rising

But a part of me will be missing,
Without you I could never make,
The most beautiful spectrum,
By shining through your prism,
In this city's cerulean skies.

You are my ROY G. BIV.

Yours truly,
Poison Ivy
