A is for admire
I have no talent for drawing or any kind of art-linked endeavours. Couldn't even draw a straight line with a ruler. But I love pretty things and these pictures below really speak to me.
These are the works of Ms. Rebecca Mock.
I love the eloquence of her art, elevating something as prosaic as reading on a train or in the outdoors into something whimsical and delightful. The pictures are so evocative, you could almost feel the movement of the train of the warm breeze caressing your skin while you lounge on the balcony. The feel of the grass under you separated by the blanket. You could almost hear the chirp of birds and the buzz of bees collecting nectar in the flourishing garden.
Doesn't her work remind you of the animated pictures and portraits in the Harry Potter series?

My favourite activity in my favourite mode of transportation.
Age doesn't inhibit embracing technology.

M is for Mask
Duplicitious.
Subtle.
Indirect.
Devious.
Women are often portrayed as conniving plotters and vile seducers out to victimise poor, hapless men. From centuries old fairy tales to the latest television hits, pop culture and literature are littered with women who are evil (i.e. has her own agenda that doesn't serve a man's), wily (i.e. respectable intelligence is only for men), bossy (i.e. only men are forceful), and the list goes on.
Why can't women be forthright, many men say. Why can't women be open about what they want and be honest about their true motivations? Why are women always saying A but actually meant B?
Dear readers, we are made that way.
Many women grow up thinking that they need to present a certain front to the world. They are expected to be pretty, to be personable, to be nice, to be demure and subservient to the authorities in their life (namely, the men). They have to be a good daughter - do the chores, mind the younger siblings, cook the meals, be home by 6 pm, and come home with bushels of As for the exams. They are expected to be a great girlfriend - the obedient wife - the undemanding mother.
And if they can't? Well ... fake it till you make it.

Writing again, yay!
Ah, muse. Thank you for whispering.
Another story on-going in my head finally expressed readibly. Well, at least a part of it.

History Tuesday
A refresher course video on what happened during the Konfrantasi. Interesting to see it from Singapore's viewpoint.
