prompt – Oh, border!

RDP #50: GOLD

The prompt for today is GOLD. Take gold as your inspiration and create in whatever way inspires you. Share your inspiration with the group with a pingback. If you need directions, they are available here. Today is the 50th day of Ragtag Daily Prompts! We’ve had at least one a day since our inception, which…

Feather

My All-Time Favorites would be the heavenly signs that appear when I am not in a good state of knowingness.

Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge

Whee~ Urban waterfall outside my office! Nevermind that I’m drenched in my nice work dress.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

These stylish exhibits are our “raffle tickets” for gift exchange.

Doppelgänger

Doubles from different perspectives.

Values

He leaned against the window, pondering the full moon. His fingers inadvertently twirling the silk tassels of the Oriental lantern – another new decor from his travels.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Siblings

Us siblings are pretty close-knit, yet it is virtually impossible to capture three of us in a single photo.

Archaic

I discovered a very archaic notion today: that the best travel adventures are far far far away.

Twisted

I broke out into laughter the first time I saw these twisted cauliflowers.

Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge

Arrow says Left.
Memory says Home is Right.
Heart says Pause; Straight Ahead is Fine.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Over 100 Years Old

Where you are looking from, all the way to where the guard stands, is the thickness of that ancient Xi’an city wall.

Project Infect

Here’s to infecting this chaotic world with a frozen moment of zenness. Pause. Reflect. Enjoy the clarity. Peace, you are finally here. ❤

Liquidity of existence

I have very lucid dreams of being in my natural habitat of an infinite waterbody all the time, almost like an escape from the land-locked world.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Livestock

The animal farm I lived in:
Here are some of my fellow compatriots, some lived more equal than others.

Pedigree

We are a pedigree of selfie sapiens. Shhh, baby, don’t tell anybody.

The Return

The phone buzzed and the usual breakfast photo came in.

Inner world

Here is a glimpse into the place in my inner world, which you can easily enter by viewing the A Card A Day I did in January.

Blingz

There is the real, and there is the appearance. It appears that my place in the world is in front of plates of food – mostly cakes.

In good time

You asked to walk a month in my shoes.

The Bench

There is a place in the world where I have absolutely no business to be in, yet it feels so solidly comfortable, some place where I feel I belong.

Unlikely

The bull horns is just a case in point that I can now appreciate the beauty of nature as it is, without judgement that this is creepy, that is scary, those are morbid, etc.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Public Transportation

Our buses are pretty much mobile billboards, but this obtrusive one takes it up a brand new level.

If there are seasons

The freezing cold scare last night brought back the warmth of a song from decades ago. I think being brought up in the equatorial belt is cool , with so much room for romantic concepts like this song / musical.

Abrupt

My life came to an abrupt standstill last night, it was rather creepy. I was feeling really stuffy in office, with a throbbing headache, and a sore back like a million needles went through it.

Vine lines

Wine-tasting exercises averaging 25 types a sitting (or standing) is bound to have any person wear her heart on the sleeve.

Water lines

Took me a while to figure what kind of lines can astonish. I am pleasantly surprised to recall one such line – a Roman aqueduct in Segovia!

Construction lines

Want to watch me throw a tantrum about lines? Fine. Here are the pics of the unhappiest part of my life.

Gaudi-an lines

The most consistently rivuletine lines I have seen are those of Antoni Gaudí. His inspiration from, and mimicry of, mother nature is stupendous.

Wat lines

To get myself out of that pattern of dense thoughts and feels, I have put up this collage of pictures more in the form of “wat-the-heck” lines.

Parisian lines

This is Musée d’Orsay. Its steel arch structure with glass arch ceiling casts amazing shadows on itself as the light filters through.

Elaborate

The elaborate colour palette of mother nature meets (wo)man. Matchymatchy!

Bestowed

Necklace bestowed upon me by my Light Team. Isn’t it pretty?

Vaguely a painting

There was one thing I did during the Shanghai stint that my sis lost all respect for me over. It was an activity vaguely like painting, except it was done through numbers.

Partake

The delight from community development lies in the partaking in joint efforts to manifest from nothingness to many-thing-ness. ❤ The most precious reward at the end of the day – fulfilled hearts, and a fine sunset. ❤

Authentic Karen cuisine

I have no idea whether there really is such a thing as authentic anything/anywhere cuisine at all. As authentic as Mom’s cooking? But every mom is different.

Parallel

In a parallel universe 14,000km away in the other direction, is yet another Alhambra, and another Granada.

Prolific, really?

Hahaha. Sounds like an apt description of the T’oh family, my grandparents, the DNA down the bloodline, and the earlier three generations here in SG.

Arabian nights

So many crevices for Genie to hide. So many nooks and crannies for multiple genii to spring a surprise.

Lively song for a sunday

What better way to end an enjoyable Sunday than to share a lovely lively song that is so loveydovey. Here is a song about eloping to the moon!

Accidentally in love

Originally posted on Oh, border!:
I had a timeout during the Cannes/Nice weekend, and hopped off to visit Musée Matisse up in the hilly suburbs. I had been repeatedly advised (i.e. reminded) by my dearest mentor LTK to pay a visit. I did, and indeed, I loved it. What was more magical was that I…
