Taking Leaps & Talking Bounds.™

So I went to the National Museum of Singapore today with Julian for our photo shoot research. And we had a really fine day. I knew one day i will end up taking a shot of myself doing something like this. It was something I know I wanted to do - that is, to just keep jumping and leaping without a care in the world. So thanks Julian for helping me nail this! We had a great time choreographing a series of this shot, in front of this great muriel of sorts at the museum! I won't forget how many times, we prances, jumped, danced, twirled and lept before we got what we desired. All under the hot scorching noon of day sun!

I don't remember when was the last time I have been to the National Museum. Not since its refurbishment of its facade I suppose? There was a certain aura of calm and quiet that totally suited me. The diligent central air conditioning also totally made me a fan of this place (pun intended). Although we were officially on work matters, we eventually decided to have some fun when we passed by the muriel.
I mean why not? The day was great, the sun was blazing, the grass was dry and earthy, the sky was clear and blue. It was one helluva fine day I would dare say.

So, the leap of faith huh. Not that it daunts me, to jump into some things that I am not even sure of. Because I have been doing it all my life! Some leaps just pay off and some just land you in awful potpourri of shit. While I understand we were taught that slow and steady and even baby steps usually is the way to go, but times where hurdles present themselves, you just got to take that jump. Leaps, covers distance and crosses obstacles. It is ok to take them, just not with your eyes closed all the time. And if you fall, probably learn to pick yourself up. Having said that, responsibilities, commitments and obligations may bound us from taking those leaps. It is important to weigh what in your heart and mind and which is more important to us.

Ryan is probably coming in July. It is going to be a whirlwind weekend but I am gonna make the best of it. I am ecstatic but I don't show it.

I just leap and prance and twirl.
