berlin 12/11-14/11

berlin was historical.we never knew there was so much that happened
so recently for berlin.but that's it.so berlin was that but nothing more,
(unless you consider starbucks as a berlin sight) for me at least.

memorial to the murdered jews of europe.
amazingly touching.haunting even.

dresden,freiberg,seiffen 09/11-12/11

at rohps & michaels for pork knuckles & sauerkraut!

then we were taught to throw snowballs at the tree
which fush used as a weapon on my poor painful ass later on.

we proceeded to have barbeque in zero degrees at catherine & daniel's

thank you rohps and michael for being such wonderful hosts!
we had a great time : )

prague 06/11-09/11

a door mouth frames a gothic dame

in black and gold and blue

her dim eyes shone her darkest soul

her drapery laced around you

i touched her feet of cobbled stones

a cold that drills my flesh

yet her musky scent drowns the pain

circles seduction around my breast

and yes,

i am lost in her caress

note: photos do not do prague justice

san gimignano 04/11

so it's true, what they say about the tuscan sky

fush and a picture of his land,which he is going to sell
to buy a ticket to singapore to become a construction worker
ok that's rubbish but it's really what the indian workers
in singapore do to come to singapore, right nabs?

anna and her japanese grandmamas

me: ok guys, pretend it's the last drop of water left on earth
marius: how do we do that?
fush: i cant believe we're actually entertaining her...

rome with esn 01/11-04/11

singing in the rain with annelore,lonneke,blurry eva & anna

at the colosseum/queuing for rothko with breakfast

at the trevi fountain with eva,lonneke, ah neh & the rest of the world
peering over to check out the queue for the st peter's basilica cupola

waving at the colosseum!
so even though i said, ok, take a pic of me climbing the colosseum!
the photographer, fush the mush bo bush, just didnt get it...

rising sun

a respect slightly contradictory
it colours my being with grief
that you who were great
are drowning in your own fate
in retribution you suffocate
while those you tore apart
watch with glee
how do i reconcile my grief with theirs?

cinese

it flew in,that fly
tempted me to destroy it,let it die
but it brought life
to this dark,still room of mine
gently threading on shelved books
inquiring the pictures on my wall
slipping,losing grip as it falls
and picks itself up again
lingering around here somewhere

nice roadtrip 19/10-21/10

driving along the french riveria!breath-taking

then i started to photo-whore in the car
like everyone else who sits in the passenger seat of the car nowadays.hurhur.

amazing works 'cept my purchases almost got blown away

then i almost got blown away in antibes.
dad, ure right in this instance, that i have to carry a rock when i go out.

sunday was better.
never knew i loved the sun so much till i came to europe
seeing the sun is like finding a ravioli in your plate of penne
and realising how good it felt to have your pasta stuffed with meat
ok, whatever that means.
it's the lack of a better analogy and the overload of pasta.

so we were in cannes and loving the sun

then we headed to monaco where we tried to act rich but of course
we were only driving a smart car amidst all the ferraris and aston martins

in fush's words "whoa, ferrari here like giordano"

so of course, to set themselves apart, they need to have yachts.

crest

tonight,a dirty orange crest
hung reluctantly in the deep blue
of the night
i wonder what it feels like
