Geylang

you know, once in a while, i go property hunting,, ie, meet agents or owners and view their apartments and sometimes show flats too.

this is just because my friend PW, bren & i have pledged ourselves to make ourselves rich by investing in property. in fact, we started our project some 3 years ago. but we have yet to make a deal, always due to some missing factors. we came close but have not had our maiden break.
nonetheless, we have been consistent with our efforts to be on the go, to put ourselves out there and get our feet working, view the houses, work our sums, etc. this is just preparation work which we believe will get us ready for the chances coming. in fact, i can shameless tell you that we have formed a club called "club eleven" for the sole purpose of dedicating ourselves to being enlightened millionaires. gosh, i cant believe i am telling you this. haha. it happened after i read the book "one minute millionaire" and we are in-the-works if you ask me.

so what's has this got to do with the pictures above? you ask.

ok, we are now eyeing on this property that is located at geylang. details aside, this unit is currently an artist's studio and we also met the few in-house artists who where there. they are interesting people and i must say creative work takes more discipline that what a lay person may understand. like this master-of-brush artist,, you know, the whole package comes with time and devotion, from qi-kong to meditation, to many preparation work behind the scence before the final work, that is physically painting the piece of art.

the second artist is a new yorker (born in singapore) but made good & gained fame in new york. anyway, he says he wants to paint geylang before it disappears. i guess we will never fully appreciate what we see day in, day out, until it is whoosh, revamped and retrofitted and then we say, oh, it was better the last time. and then nag about how our culture is lost. he was just telling us how he wants to capture the sights before it vanishes.

i really enjoyed the day. we spent the whole afternoon at the studio and the whole night talking to PW. i missed doing this and i realised that for a long time since i've worked here, i had not enjoyed a weekend this much.

i toyed with the idea to ask the brush master artist to tutor me.
we had great chemistry because we engaged with his work at another level.
i should not tell you too much or it will seem occult but it is just good old reiki that we relate to.
i am still toying with the idea of asking him to teach me because it is just too much work and discipline which i am not sure if i can commit. when monday comes, i am transformed back to a stressful worker and i absolutely am frustrated with the situation. i am not sure if i can pull out of this hence am non-committal. but i do day-dream about the ideal life of being an efficient worker at my current job and having a hobby so fine.
hummmmmmmm....... i shall ponder some more and see what comes up for me.

so there you go my friends.
