dear daisy,
it has been six years, and three years since new york in december. i remember queuing in the cold, windy afternoon for the mets - for david hockney, picasso and michealangelo - but hockney was the highlight, for making the most expensive art by a living artist. his exhibit received the largest crowd. while waiting, i had a hotdog from the street to burn some calori for heat. it was lame and i prefer a nice cuppa - well a warm hug would suffice actually. so after the visit i got myself a nice beryani from the halal guys a couple blocks away from the 98th street. i am a nerd. (4th street reminds me of bob dylan).
i got distracted from writing this entry - nieces and nephews are here for school holiday. life is merrier. and better. much better than when i was in the states. i think there is a need to have purposes and good intention in order to have a meaningful and wonderful kind of life.
a year and half volunteering with refugees and marginalized community in kuala lumpur had been uplifting and frustrating at the same time. it made me ponder upon my life in a bubble. i may turn into different directions, falling into mishaps and unfortunate events. i have no idea how my life would turn out this way because i always wanted to do art for living - i applied for architecture school and creative multimedia in animation (because i love cyberjaya) but i settled for engineering in seoul because going abroad sounds like yahoo!.
i haven't pick up brushes since the watercolor class a month ago - to spend the time with my sister didi ( - the paint, palette and brushes are still inside my car, just like the boxing gloves and other gym thing). technically the past few months had been turmoil and re-adjusting my life with mom's absent. soon - dad is getting married.
how i wish mom never left us.
i watched bbc hardtalk last night, where stephen sackur interviewed recently released from manus island detention and last year winner of australia's highest literary award mr. behrouz boochani.
