FANTASY TO REALITY

fantasy into reality///

on this same day and time last year, with leona lewis, bleeding love artiste X

imaginations into creation

a piece of music, a painting, an illustration, garments, architectures, 

almost anything else into reality which enlivens our experiences in this world

life is pretty much magical i thought

everyone have dreams, crazy fan moments, beliefs, anguished thoughts,

emotional period, lonely state. this time it wasn't from any kind of dream i am living

everything had happened in a way or another possible

through how much you mean it, want it and deserve it

go for it

here it is.

everything was unplanned even before meeting her,

it was one day before she arrived peacefully and gracefully in her casual and modest outfit; 

like any other tourist coming out from the airport. neither did she publish her plans for

singapore even till her arrival.

she has always been expressing care-freely on instagram 

that's when i chance upon her appearance here in this island

a picture of the cityscape of singapore and the iconic marina bay sands was posted 

one night before her actual appearance, as she was already settled in the hotel 

the online publishings were scarce.  

then what came about was the  'clash of continents 2012',

unexpectedly, a tennis match, that she will be appearing during the in-between break of the match

and will be featuring a few of her upcoming singles, her newest and her top hit

, bleeding love.

it wasn't an actual full concert performance

the following day at 2pm when the tournament had started i was still home..

the setting of the weather was moody and rainy, discouraging and doubtful in fact

having contemplated since 10am if the ticket is worthy of the experience and possible,

because everything from ticket purchasing and getting ready, surprising her was too late 

nothing was accomplished, nothing was done in effort for preparation at all

i decided to give it a go, though not at my best condition and self ..

not having any passes for the tournament, i manage to retrieve a ticket at the very last minute

after queuing for 20mins from the sistic counter till 2.50pm, 

the journey was unpredictable and am still 20mins of train ride away from the hall

it was 3.15 pm more than an hour late, 

i've already gotten the ticket getting prepared and seated among the crowds

observing people leaving and joining the hall, there was no match nor performances

i felt everything was over,

life is pretty much a risk in anything we do but never to expect too much of it

though there's a strange in-born temptation in human to crave

to expect returns, to expect from people, to gain from everything

.. to expect her appearance nor a meet and greet

i felt it's more important to..

just be present and experience the now

whatever the outcome is, we will eventually embrace

"As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love."

— Eckhart Tolle

here i go, i go for it

i go for the love for her passion, her gifts and the love she had shared

be it if everything had ended or not

everything had turn out unexpected, it wasn't over

a new beginning for me and my belief for dreams do come true

encouragement keeps dream alive, keeps the passion raging

always encourage and praise for the better in achievement and efforts

working in a creative industry like the music, arts, fashion, jewelry designs,

cookery, even poetry writings is tough, everyone understands that deeply, 

many discourages us to live that dream,

everything is costly from the makings to the publishings of it

therefore pursing a creative career with an ever supportive parent matters a lot, very grateful for that

...being in an art school i've always encourage creative people around me who trusted my actions

to believe for what they do, to help them express as much of their unrealized 

and conceivable capabilities 

i would explore with them, convince, identify, reveal my analytical observations, 

in all ways genuinely sincere and meaningful ways in helping them to gain confidence

spending much of my time with these people possibly to create wonders through observations, 

putting aside my beloved precious time with my paintings for a year of time

i've never regretted in any bit

constantly for the past entire year assisting as much for 

no other reason than to express creativity

having only started documenting the process ever since the blog was on

there were way many other experiences and works i've worked on so hard before 

which i will gradually share it in this documentation

my life have never been all about fashion, 

art, drawings, paintings, food encounters, 

photo shoots, glamours, being religious....

i post what inspires in the notion of life, for the greater 

i express myself in art to release my mind, to create a platform or a breathing space 

away from reality

it is all for the cause that i believe everyone else can do it, 

making art is beautiful, that's when we forget to complain about our own unhappiness,

we forget about temptations, jealousy, anger..

simply we lose touch of reality..enjoying every bit

that's why i have a strong feeling to share away many of what have been created

though creation is limitless, especially a visual creator myself

i have just too much to express within a day all year round

hoping to inspire, to share the love, to help people

to be observant, to be aware, to create an alternative experience and the strong notion of

the ever lasting joy in creating and observing can be done with oneself

if you are not attached to anything at the moment,

there is always something silent, beautiful and intuitive to fall back within yourself

no one is ever attached to one thing or another, feelings

.. memories and all is doubtful, filled with uncertainties

what you create and achieve for yourself from fantasy to reality

will always be true and real to you, it will always be your storage 

and a secondary hiding place from all these reality, to keep you sane, keep you smiling

to embrace all that you will ever experience in this journey

i treasure the value of human life, the compassion, kind gestures 

and some slight humor, lastly the love for creation to bring about 

a better experience in the world for everyone

--

thank you for believing in me as well as i believe in many whom i've met

dreams do come true

though we did not chat much

it was amazing x

amazing,
