a collection of wanni’s drawings, paintings & etc
Use it or lose it. There are nothing more disheartening than dried up tubes of paints. Life wasted. Unused and expired.
Little Elie: CooCoo, why is it not painted? Let me help you color it. (She took some markers and drew some stars…)
WW: (in my head, “it is not colored in because it is in the process of becoming.”)
Later on, I undo some of Elie’s markings. Her stars faintly shining through. I like them.
AW: Why don’t you draw something cute. Something that people would like. Something people might buy.
WW: hmmm ( In my head, “…what do you mean paint something people would like…i paint what i like…does it mean you don’t like what i like…hmm…most people like dogs…)
So I searched “cute puppies” via Flickr and found a reference image.
I didn’t bookmark the original Flickr link. I tineyed it (a reverse image search site). Just found the original image is one of the most popular image from the Terry Bain’s blog. I guess I have an eye for what people like. ?
conversations with papers
a good read = a good conversation. often leaving a fulfilling aftertaste & warmth — as demonstrated in the ending of Where the Wild Things Are and The Empty Pot. or sometimes, a strikingly unsettled feeling. eager for more dialogues. like after reading some of Jhumpa’s works and Life of Pi. if i am a book, i want to be one with a warm & sincere aftertaste.

One of my first household chores as a child was to buy soda from the store. The two 1-litre glass bottles of Coca Cola, bound together with nylon strings, were probably half of my height at that time.
