"Singapore has so much nature to offer as a city. Have you crawl into a mangrove swamp here while jogging along a park with urban modern infrastructure? Have you take a close look and realise how many beautiful colourful birds there are in this city? Have you notice those butterflies that are attracted to flowers which are purposely planted to attract these beautiful creatures. When is the last time you ever witness birds flew past a beautiful colourful sunset in Singapore? When have you really relax and walk around town and notice how this little fallen leaf lying on the ground with light illuminating its each and every veins and how a woman pick it up so gently. Have you sit along a river and look at how the rain drops fall into the water, like as if its dancing on the surface on the river with beautiful ripples? This is perhaps the one and last thing I want to say. I do understand what you want and guess have already done up what you envision..by taking all those pictures that way. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that you havent notice all these. You probably have in one way or another. I do. I love my little country and uniqueness of how I can climb into a swamp and feel like in a different world and climb back up and there I'm in a modern park connector with hdb flats and building. I amazed by how Singapore sun set can be so beautiful that I don't have to travel abroad to realise there are such beautiful colours in our sunset. I'm grateful that Singapore is one of the path that migratory birds passes by and I manage to catch a glimpse of a flock of huge white birds flew pass the sky so silently that would have gone unnoticed if I didn't look up into the sky. How many of us look up the sky?"
- an excerpt from a very very long letter to Brother bear
A letter that titled "A very long letter I hope you read"
In my almost 6 years plus working with Brother Bear, I have wrote a number of letters to him, mainly to share my feelings and thoughts that we perhaps can't really see eye to eye at a moment.
But this time round, it's written with a feelings of extreme polarities. The burning passion and love and the coldness I feel I can't bear with any longer. Be it field of distortion or simply absurdity.
Anywhere else you work, you tends to get situation where people, clients don't see eye to eye to things. That's perfectly alright. But just being here, I feel for each and every pieces of things I do. Most people would leave a company when they just don't love it anymore. I, if I ever do leave, it will be because I love it too much.
