2) Let it go, let it go, can’t hold it back anymore (in the ‘Frozen’ snowstorm way)

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. - Annie Dillard #art #ink #colour #bangkok #thailand (at Fortune Tower)

Was at Bangkok's Sea Life Aquarium yesterday. *** Someone asked me for directions to the exit, somehow assuming that I was a local staff. He seemed offended when I said that I have no idea. *** A family exclaimed over a tank with crickets. They were jabbing fingers at the glass, gesturing to fidgety insects. I pointed out the pacman frog to a little boy. He took a photo with his iPad and quickly turned away. *** A reef shark, much longer than the average Singaporean adult, was nibbling at another's tail fin. I could see the white of cartilage. It turned out to be part of a mating ritual. *** Certain animals die more quickly in captivity. Whale sharks, great white sharks. Others have their lifespans tripled. The sheltered life favours some.

Just watched 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' and thoroughly enjoyed the movie. When I was young(er), I used to compete with two friends on who could recite the most number of Harry Potter spells from memory. It had felt like a betrayal, this new series of movies. As in, let the Harry Potter series remain in the pleasant mist of the past. But Fantastic Beasts is a terrific movie - with a subtle critique on manmade destruction of ecosystems - and now I feel the need to re-read all the Harry Potter books. #thunderbird #fantasticbeasts #harrypotter #ink #marker #art #colour

Am glad that two poems written during Singpowrimo 2016 have been published in this anthology. Shall be more disciplined and write daily next April! #mathpaperpress #booksactually #poetry

Bye, my chewren. Fly free and fly high.

Mdm Lung has been a wonderful support in the past year. Without her guidance and mentorship, I would have drowned in a seastorm of work. Did this watercolour (with a splash of authentic Burmese gold) as a farewell gift. Thanks so much, Mdm Lung! #watercolour
