🎵 See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me; And no one knows How far it goes. If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me, One day I’ll know, If I go, there’s just no telling how far I’ll go 🎵 (at Tulum, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKZDf1hhJJ98eq1PeINg4sLhzYTUM7p1PpHrG40/?igshid=1nbr7fobi31ff
Coming Up For Air - I’ve always said that I’d be honest on social media, that I would not only share the shiny side of my life. When I was learning to surf in Australia, another learner came boogie boarding towards me on their own surfboard. Instinctively I flipped over, using the board as a shield from underwater. I felt a crunch as the other surfer barrelled into my board and carried on but I held what little breath I had managed to take, curled in a ball floating quietly in the depths of the ocean. I tarried there, wanting to be certain that there were no other surfers. It was calm and quiet in the waters, almost comforting in my element but I knew I could not stay there forever, as the need to breathe became more and more eminent. I had managed to sink further beneath the waves than imagined, because it took two strokes for me to return to the surface. I’ve been holding my breath for a while now, in my own metaphorical sea of thoughts, floating in the depths though not as calmly as I had been in the ocean. I’m swimming to the surface now and hopefully when I break through the surface, I’ll get the air I need.

Raven by Bill Reid ~ I love mythology, the stories that each culture has to tell, but as much as I enjoy the Western pantheons and tales, the tales of First Nation people from around the world have always been lesser known and I have been actively seeking them out. It’s tales like these that spark ideas like #MNP👹 , the card game I have been working on for a while now, can’t wait to share more with you guys when the time is ripe! Till then, please enjoy Raven, the most powerful of mythical creatures in Haifa culture, brought to life by Bill Reid, one of the Haida people’s most celebrated artists.

In My Element ~ I “find myself” the most when I’m by a body of water, none more so when it is the seaside and the ocean. Ever since I was a student in Melbourne, I always told myself that one day, I would visit the Great Barrier Reef. Over the next 8 years, even into my working life there, I never did, partly because no one else wanted to go (which would also have made things more expensive in my frugal student mind) but partly because I was somehow wary of going alone. Another 5 years passed and I was now in Singapore, and an ocean away from where I wanted to be. Then at the end of last year, as I planned my trip to Melbourne after a long absence, I looked to the north of Australia and a little voice said, “It’s time, time to have an adventure by yourself, for yourself.” And so, after a little additional research, Cairns was my first stop in my return to the Land Down Under. Cairns was relatively fun and made some new friends but oh the Reef... I can understand why they call it Great. Though climate change has taken it’s toll on it, there was still a beauty to it that I could not put to words that refreshed my very soul as I swam about in the endless crystal blue. I just felt happy, so filled with an indescribable joy, knowing that I was in the epitome of my element. I don’t know when I will return, or if it will still be around by then, but this trip was to rejuvenate my soul, and to say aloha to the Great Barrier Reef in my own little way, though I have hope. Thank you, you beauty, and I hope you will have me back one day 😊 (at Great Barrier Reef) https://www.instagram.com/p/CALJwmIBXJz/?igshid=jb75wvun8i3x

♫ Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes ♫ It’s said to be the only constant in our lives. The metamorphosis of a caterpillar. The wearing of river beds. Even the imperceptible end of the old and dawn of the new year. This is a symbol for change, an ancient one, and as Mr Bowie put it very aptly, it is time to “Turn and face the strange”... I have been developing a game, codenamed #OKCG, with “Change” at its very heart. Thematically Japanese, with a Zen Minimalist design aesthetic, it incorporates aspects of traditional Japanese culture infused with my creative sensibilities to imagineer something new. Play tests have been going on for a bit but soon they will be spreading out to Australia and hopefully America too. If you are curious, let me know and I can try to set something up. In time, I will be taking it to Kickstarter to share with the world so I hope you will join me on my little journey and maybe, when the time comes, to share it with your friends. Till then, this is the first glimpse of what you can expect from OKCG so buckle in and get ready; a change is coming 😉 (at Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vNvz0h2uG/?igshid=1jjplzdw7egxa
♫ They Come From The Land Down Under ♫ One of the things that truly floored me on my trip back home were the friends I met. Most of them had only found out days before I was to arrive in Melbourne and insisted we catch up. Thus were my days filled, with little jaunts to old haunts, punctuated with friends. We reminisced the old times, laughed over recent stories and shared our future plans over meals and grog and quiet walks in suburban parks. The spirit and warmth of Australia is not just found in the land but in the hearts of these people I am glad to call friends. This too goes out to all I could not meet in time; I am equally touched by your warmth. Thank you all for making my trip back that much more welcoming and special, I don’t intend to be away for this long again! 😊 (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5OxBJIBG_K/?igshid=1l1tprkt5vlp2
Industry Beans, Fitzroy I feel like part of this trip is to revisit all my old coffee haunts and enjoy the unique blends they each come up with! Industry Beans was a small little enterprise when I first discovered it but now they have really bloomed over the past 7 years! And they have pretty bloody good graphic design to describe their coffee! (at Industry Beans) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4drtqSBwa7/?igshid=1xf957gy0si2x
The State Library of Victoria I had a little time between meet ups and decided to pop by for a proper squizz. Never could study in here back in the day (nor any library for that matter!) but it’s easy to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of the architecture. I only I was there to check out the White Night installation in The Dome! (at State Library of Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Ynq2nh6mR/?igshid=vh85j8wcadu0

First Cafe-of-Call when visiting the Coffee Capital of the World I’ve not had a drop of caffeine in the past 4 days so what better way to refresh the palate than with a coffee from Seven Seeds! Just gonna hang here and soak in the atmosphere whilst working on #OKCG 😊 (at Seven Seeds Coffee Roasters) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Qww8qBEem/?igshid=kr7o2bjijagt

25 years. That’s how long I have been honing my craft, in word- and world-weaving. And I cannot afford to wait any longer; I need to unleash my imagination upon this reality. (at Raffles Hotel Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zWA-ChD6n/?igshid=1djd2e79j3u3d
