ice ice baby
on Xmas eve i noticed a tree in a unit 2 doors from mine.
someone had hung crystals, silver ribbons, mirror balls, angels,
gold, red, and silver ornaments on a dead leafless gumtree.
there was an amber light shooting up from below that tree.
and they created the most beautiful and arresting sight.
ive never been much for Xmas,
but this act of beauty delighted me.
it inspired me to make pretty on things.
come to think of it, how cute was that one person
who first decided to decorate a tree so many many years ago.
now many trees have been decorated and loved
celebrating the beauty that he/she first inspired.
i wonder if we all can have that opportunity.
to at least for once, be that cool first person who
decorates trees. or cupcakes. or sounds.
and make the already beautiful world an evenmore.

craving paper-cuts
i landed an interview a few wednesdays ago.
surprisingly landed a training last last wednesday.
and ecstatically landed a job on that busy monday.
a career
it is in a cozy little head office.
7 people on board.
each with terrifyingly huge responsibilities.
so we work so close to each other
we make each others coffee.
5 days of my diddly daddly there,
im overloaded with information.
fell in love with paper-clips and post-its,
intrigued by stamp-roller and stapler-biters.
everything is new. and old.
strange, yet oddly familiar.
it feels like i knew this before.
i knew waking up early in the morning,
having breakfast in the car.
i knew listening to morning talkshows on the radio,
sing a long and bopping silly.
i knew lunch breaks. i knew snacks.
i knew asking questions and being asked.
its like school only cooler.
cos i get to drive 110km/hr on that sunny eastern freeway everyday.and i get to park my car under that wine-coloured tree.
get an L-shape table, pc and the lot.
and a big window with New Panda chinese restaurant view.
and only to add the coolness:
boss said our team worked hard this week,
so we went to New Panda for yum-cha.
and boss paid.
...
i know!...
