Death by AE.
We are all wrong; lulled by the promise of two dimensional dreams, we misunderstood 3d. Actually - what seems the easiest is always the most misleading.

Inspiration
I rarely share artists I like because I am selfish that way: I like to keep all the good things to myself. But its xmas and I am feeling a wee bit generous. So, I present (with a flourish and a bow), Yu Jingyoung:
plus her recent exhibition "Family in Disguise" is too good to let up.

Subby love
First batch of lomo. Reminds me of Parkway in the early 1990s (laugh).
One Velvia and an Ektachrome to go. Sponsor me some rolls of film please.

Taming of the Shrew
For Kenny, who is so adamant on match-making me: I have decided to write a personal ad! Just in case that you, despite all your best intentions, misconstrue all that I said - we don't want any misunderstandings and broken hearts, do we? At the same time, I hope I will save you some trouble because now, you can simply circulate the notice around! How convenient. (That's //ilng's number 1 virtue for you!)
So here goes nothing:
Seeking a life partner for //ilng
I am not a stickler for outer appearances. I know where I stand on the "good looking" spectrum. Though not necessarily a perfect 10 out of 10, it doesn't hurt either if my partner is tall-ER, well-built and good looking. Of course that said, s/he has to be oblivious to my physical imperfections, my complete disregard for personal hygiene, impervious to my grooming habits - I mean the lack of - and my penchant to cultivate phalloides, or simply mushrooms, in the most unlikely of places.
S/he has to be articulate, eloquent, expressive and intelligible. Linguists have an advantage, especially if they are trilingual. Japanese is a huge turn on in bed; French caresses my skin like silk; while husky whispers in Spanish push that oohm factor alot more than hot passionate kisses (well, I am not complaining about that, mind you).
Mathematicians are also welcomed, especially if they can recite the full value of pi in between kisses. The last time I checked, the value is computed to 1012 digits, which makes it roughly.... more than a trillion? If that is ever too daunting, then I guess the truncated value works too. Though only up to a miserable 50th decimal place, s/he can always supplement it by explaining the limit of a function at infinity to placate and soothe away post-coital blues.
S/he has to be smart, intelligent, perceptive and quick witted - a most important trait to have so that I don't confuse s/he with my pet goldfish, something that I tend to do very often. The absence of a working brain will receive a quick boot out of the door; that said, a boring, uninspired and dispirited one will not keep me intrigued and curious for long either. A thirst for knowledge and a ravishing desire to learn is a must - I am not patient enough to stay around and wait for s/he to catch up. Academics are especially favoured in this department; my daily conversation pieces are not simply about television programmes, stock market, economic recessions and what not. I love (informed) discussions on philosophy, psychology, sociology, literature, politics, languages, history and.... rocket science too! (I am joking about the last one.)
S/he must possess depth, magnitude, sagacity and wisdom for matters that exist greater than her/himself. Possessing strong, opinionated and informed stances on social issues and demonstrating genuine concern for injustices and discrimination towards the marginalized, invisible and weak are important, crucial straits. While concerns about the next installment on the house, car or credit card are fair and valid, they are not going to make me think twice when I pack the suitcase and walk out of the door. I am no romantic renegade or rebel - I am too practical for my own good - and I don't expect a social activist for a partner either; I am only asking for an individual with a big heart; not a tiny spot that frets and complains when the forces of the universe does not conspire and align to please her/him.
Finally (can there be a finally?? I am not even half done!), s/he must possess strength of character. By that I mean, knowing when I am pms-ing and giving in to my inane whims of buying you tiao at Geylang at 3am. Seriously.
Supportive, encouraging, mature and ever patient, s/he will understand and be accepting when I need to go out in the world to explore, venture and experience. While acknowledging and respecting my space as an independent and strong willed individual, s/he knows when exactly I need an extra boost of confidence, a firm hug when the ego is bruised and to nurse me when I am feeling vulnerable and lonely. Of course, other character traits - worldliness, charisma, generosity, an even temperament - apply as well.
If you know someone, other than GOD, that fits the bill, do let me know. Otherwise, I am better off single.
P/S. If it is not GOD, an angel will be good too.
P/P/S. If you know someone that has a face that can stop traffic two blocks down, androgynous looking, has legs that stretch on for miles, has beautiful clear, fair skin, and soulful, puppy eyes, and owns a white unicorn horse with wings, please pass her/him my number.
P/P/P/S. If not, the filthy rich ones work too.
Hoping for good news from all of you soon!
XOXOXOXO
