autumn colours

Autumn has always been my favourite season.

It's the perfect time to slow down your pace to watch how trees put on warm colours in the cool weather; to listen to the rustling of leaves in cool autumn breeze; to smell the sweetness of harvested fruits in the air; and to feel the soothing tranquility of the nature.

romance drowned

How can the commercialisation of St Valentine's Day be stopped?

When will them so-called lovers realise romance is dying...

waves

I wonder

if waves ever get tired

of their never ending routine

Marketing 101:

The essential components of a Good Advertisement -

1. RIGHT message

2. RIGHT channel

3. RIGHT audience

4. RIGHT timing

Absolutely common sense right? But still we see thousands of sucky advertisements and wonder where had the advertisers left their common sense at?

p/s: the advertisement shown is bad (because it's not effective) but not the worst, at least it didn't cost!

colour mood

Discovered an interesting fact about using colour and b/w effect to give different perceptions to a same image:

a sad, lost-in-thoughts look

a sober-after-a-pint-or-two look

(which happened to be the truth, or not quite, bro?)

you are not alone

the journey is long

but we have each other

abandoned or still in use?

a real proud you must have been

all sparkling and brand new

a true warrior you must have been

to have seen the sunshines and the storms

a sturdy friend you must have been

to have gone through all the thicks and thins

but now

you're just a useless piece of metal

abandoned and all forgotten

are you waiting for your time to come

or

are you hoping he would take a look at you again

and recount all the glorious past you two had shared

hot and cold

hot + cold = warm

green blossom

anyone knows what this flower-like plant is called?

no, it's not an artichoke
