An unfinished tale

27/12/2018 Finland

Three overnight bus rides,
two cruise nights,
one reindeer ride later.
Three Finnish cities,
two Scandinavian countries,
and one white Christmas later.

My heart is full of love
of those who give and create.
Full of gratefulness
of adventures and experiences.
My imagination of vivid experience lingers.
My love of people and things grew stronger.
My gratefulness of this life stays.
And my wonderful memories of adventures stored away.

This trip took me to winter wonderland,
to the Arctic Circle of a foreign land,
to negative ten degree weather
and to places that many of us wonder.

Excitement is an understatement
for the sleeps we lost,
the cold we endured, the fun we created
and many more things that will soon be the history.
But this one,
shall be an unfinished tale in my next sleep.

The show will go on

25/12/2018 Christmas, Finland

Kissed goodbye, here I go.
Walking on the lonely road,
Dragging my suitcase
On the bumpy road.

Without a glance
At the direction of you.
Because I knew the second
Will be long.

Hours past and roads
Are still long.
But I knew I must
Put on a glory show.

Show you what I can do
Without your help.
Show you what I can do
Without your love.

Step by step,
Day by day.
I am getting strong
And doing great.

Rain pours, wind blows,
I must go.
Let it pour and let it blow.
I will not stop the show.

She is within

In a world filled with more than us,
Plants, trees and stars.
All I see was you and me.
All along, all I can have was me.

Stars filled up the night sky
Which I used to look at,
Wish I had you by my side.
All along, all I really had was me.

I used to walk in the darkness,
And look behind me,
Wish I had walked with you.
All along, all I really had was me.

She was stronger than I think,
Smarter than anyone would believe,
Worthier than what he deserves,
Beautiful than what she sees.

All I really needed was just me,
The girl who never left,
Despite what the future holds.
She fostered a home in me
And planned to reside within.

I am healing with my butterfly

Few days after you left me,
I have realised something,
I lost me
and I need to do something.

A butterfly came,
left few imaginations
and her grace lingered.

Expectations were for the weak.
I was ready to fight my battle
like the day that came unexpectedly.
At least, this time I am.

When the needle touched my skin,
and started to create the butterfly
that gave me imaginations again
I knew beauty is pain.

So is love,
So was my love,
So was the moment when truth left unsaid,
respect left undone.

The first few needles were sharp pain
like the time when you selfishly said goodbye
but then it got better.
I was numb to the needle,
I was numb to the pain.

Now I look into the mirror,
I see a butterfly that I wanted
and a person who I wanted.

From now on,
I am healing with my butterfly. 

Life happens

Life is a spontaneous game.
Ready or not, it will hit.
So be ready to love, be ready to hate,
be ready to fail and to never quit.

Life happens at a blink of an eye
and at the speed of light.
To love or to hate,
to quit or to fight,
you better make up your mind.

Life is going to get you,
and take you when you are not ready,
to catch you when you are off guard.

One, two, three, ready, set,
Life happens.

Be fearless

My friend,
be fearless to pursuit it,
be fearless to love it,
be fearless to try it.
Because you don't know when your life might end,
your time might cease,
or where your life might lead.

Just live your life without regrets,
live your life with happiness,
and live your life without fears.

Do not worry about money
because do what you love
will make your rich,
rich in your emotions,
rich in your satisfactions
and richness beyond means money could provide.

Believe in yourself, my friend
and believe in the magic of time.

How I wish our love would last

How I wish our love would last, 

like the day we laid our eyes on each other.

But the memories are already in the past,

Can the time take us back to the start? 

To the time when the night was cold,

our love was warm. 

To the time when we talked about growing old

and lose all of our youthful charm. 

I still remember the kiss we shared at last,

yet you moved on without a single trace.

Oh, how I wish our love would last,

But love was never an intended race.

Leave me

If you are going to leave,

leave me, leave the good

and the bad, leave the wonderful 

and the sad. 

Or take me, 

Take me with you, to create

a future, a dream, a house 

and something we want. 

Maybe it is a trouble,

Then leave me behind
with the good and the bad,
the wonderful and the sad, 

leave them all with me. 

Deutschland-ING: Museum für Kommunikation Frankfurt

14th August 2018

Museum for Communication Frankfurt

This was the fifth day that I arrived in Germany and I asked my friend if he wanted to go to a Museum with me. Frankfurt has so many museums and the place where the Iron bridge was, on the both sides has so many museums, and there was the museum festival which 6 euro could get you visits to all the museums for two days, that was epic. There were also SO MANY market stalls. They sell accessories, jewellries, handmades, soaps and everything you could possible imagine and the ones you can't imagine as well, for example, Currywurst (German curry sausages, which they cut the sausages into small pieces, served with curry sauce and powder to dress, and of course your choice of chips on the side).

This museum is pretty cool, because i was able to see how people were communicate in the early days and how communication mediums have increased and evolved throughout the years, and how the women back in the days were serving as the line-girl where they plug people's calls through to the person they wanna to speak, and i definitely opened my eyes on that giant unit of sockets waiting to be plugged and connected to a lover, relative, parent or a kid on the other side.

And the museum also got installations which I was able to have fun with them. They have so much to do in here, I spent around 2-3ish hours in there. 

         

 

This was what welcomed me first into the museum, after i purchased the ticket for 5 euro. What an brilliant idea of making a sheep out of phone cords and that definitely served the communication museum well.

This was the unit i was talking about of those women who worked back in the days. Can you see how crazy this thing is, so much concentration and absolutely speed requires of women.

"me waiting to calling you out of your bullshit"

I think i was listening to some sort of music.

the first Apple computer, thanks to digitalization

I wanna put my shit in this and go on voyage too.

Just needed an iconic tourist photo so i could show to my kids that i was here.

Ok, i was WAY TOO EXCITED because i was in Urban Outfitters. Because we haven't got one in Australia. And I did an fashion assessment on this brand so I was super excited about being there. The shop itself has a heavy hippie Industrial feel, and millennial vibe of course.

No, this wasn't taken in UO, it was in Bershaka which is under the same company as Zara but i think this brand targets a lot younger customer groups, ZARA is more sophisticated and probs target between 16-35 or even older. Bershaka I feel like its probs maximum 30 YO, but styles are generally trendy and young. But I love my strippy MacDonable inspired fries pants, I got that for 3 EURO so I am not complaining.

Deutschland-ING: 🍇Oestrich-Winkel🍇

I am warmly introduce you to this tiny-ass but cute little vine-yard town : Oestrich Winkel. People say you would get stress from this town,  I say they are right. I love this little town but if you lived here for too long you do get stress for not having 'city' in you. Anyways, these are few photos I took throughout my stay in Oestrich-Winkel since August and there are photos during the day, during the night, during the sunset and during the beautiful crimson sky. What I am so into right now, it's the Autumn colour, leaves are fading from green- brown - yellow and bright crimson colour. And sometimes during the morning, these trees are covered with thick fog, but still, the vibrancy of autumn showing right through it.

Deutschland-ING: 18th August 2018 Visual diary to Frankfurt again

18th August 2018

This is the house I am living right now, it is quite aged house and in this house, we have about 6 people living together.

This cute little girl accidentally ran into my photo and I actually was not that mad about it, that was probably the cutest photo-bomb I've ever had, and I am into it. She just make this photo even more vividly. 

some artist on the street busking with his artwork, what a beautiful day it was !

This was the bookshop I got so excited about in Frankfurt, it has got 4 levels and have absolutely everything. Although they are mostly in German, they do have a good small section of English books. and yes i was excited about that.

There was an open piano, where people were invited to play, and there's another open piano like this in Wiesbaden train station. It really adds to Frankfurt city :). I am also loving that.

This is apparently the old opera house (according to my iphone location :))

The girl behind me completely got the colour memo :[) hahha, also that was not my water bottle, i was being a nice friend and holding for my friend.
