Sayings

In Poly year 1, my lecturer asked us to dissect these little lines:

Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.

Imagine, fresh out of secondary school and thrown such an assignment. Still, plunging headlong, I began my paper.

Looking back, this has been something that I've remembered. In fact, one of the few things i remember. Its still holds the same meaning to me, albit a slightly different one. It has also thrown light on different areas, a light that has given me the strength to carry on.

Next Monday would be our 7th month. Looking back, I have absolutely no regrets. Despite the fights, hurt and loneliness at times, I'll gladly go through it all again.

Baby, I do love you. The doubt that I experience, I must admit, is still there, but through your love and you being by my side, has become my passion. A passion that is not a task done begrudgingly but one out of my love for you and thus, inexhaustible and I believe, inextinguishable. The madness is the love that is born, something that is so beautiful that it has become a work of art.

I don't want to ever lose you.



And now, some pictures from a scrumpalicious dinner at Xi Yan.
