I learnt a couple of colourful expressions lately. Do I care to share my guilty discoveries? Might do…if you beg me long enough!

Have you ever been taken away by an unknown feeling or a long-forgotten one? I think that's what's happening to me. I was buzzing all day yesterday, a flurry of a girl, cascading through my classes. I feel like a sparkling stream has taken over, sprinkling magic spots ( Read more... )

I don’t know anyone who has a van (such a pity, by the way) but I came up with this yesterday night. A piece of “impulsive writing”, you could say.

It’s written all over those endless blue strips you always stack up at the back of the van. It’s an elegy to skinny roads that dust their way through. It’s a song to the outer space, left unheard ( Read more... )

I’ve always been a bit mixed up between languages and even more so since I live in Thailand but it sounds like my brain is taking it to the next level. My mother tongue is French but I haven’t read anything in French in quite some time, and I don’t have many opportunities to speak it. When I try, I tend to fill the blanks with English or Thai ( ( Read more... )

So, in case you didn't know, Bangkok is a village. I constantly get spotted by students in various funny /embarrassing/inappropriate/ludicrous situations, tick the correct answer. Yesterday came up the last of a long list...However that happened, my picture made it to a teenage magazine in the "Bangkok night life" section. Don't start with your ( Read more... )

I wonder I wonder I wonder

I wonder why the dark lines on your lips

Started glowing

And how come, how come the park is littered in sunlight

The grass bathing in drops of Coke

And how come, yes how come you are still untouched in black

Because later or later or later will shatter frailty

Or maybe now

Don’t tell me the  glazing’s too bitter, ( Read more... )

 There's a thickness in the air, I can't explain where it flows out from but it's feeding me in light. I'm trying to look away. It drags me pure or crumbling. Black and gaunt and adamant are the loves I consume.

Some questions prancing about in my little stuffed head.

What do you feel guilty about?
Have you ever seen, I mean actually seen, the light?
Why do you like bitterness?
Who is who?
When does it start? Why does it start? Does it need to start?

Mesmerized, boiling from the inside, storming out of the room, chaos ahead.

I am no longer a would-be expat in Malaysia but I came across a website dedicated to those of you who live in KL and might want to attend the so-called "expatexpo". It sounds like a nice introduction for newbies :

"The ExpatExpo ’07 is a unique two day extravaganza that is designed to stimulate your senses, whilst bringing contacts and exposure to a ( Read more... )

We were created to lack and to beg and to crave. Always in need of someone or something to hold on to. The funny thing about it is that each of us actually justifies the existence of all others. You need and beg and crave ? Then you will find one of your fellow human beings on your way. If you fail to seek them, you are as good as dead inside, all ( Read more... )
