About Me

Flights of fancy and imagination open me to intriguing possibilities but sometimes might lack of assertiveness and follow-through. Hounded by instincts which at times lead to the pursuit of eccentric whims... ...

An Altitude Retreat with Attitude!


Thredbo Village (where I am currently having my retreat) is located inside the Kosciuszko National Park; New South Wales (NSW), Australia. It's a 3hr coach ride from Canberra City Centre.





Today, I have stepped out into Mt Kosciuszko by taking the scenic chairlift rides...it's relaxing & therapeutic...totally sedated within the peace & serenity effuse by the beautiful surrounding of nature.

A day as a 'Reporter' in the Australian's Old Parliament House

Venue: The Old Parliament House; Canberra, ACT Australia





As part of the 'Floriade 21' celebration in Canberra, there's this 'dress up & make your own film about an event that shaped the Australian nation' going on in the Old Parliament House.

I was invited to 're-enact' the Queen's visit to the Old Parliament House in 1954.

Absolute Anger




There is a saying: "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control"

You know what, today, I am very glad being that FOOL!

Fallen




“We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with” ~ C.S. Lewis



A Starry Night Piece by Vincent Van Gogh




Although 'Sunflowers' tend to come across most people's mind when the name Vincent Van Gogh is mentioned, I however prefer his 'Starry Night' series - particularly 1888 Cafe Terrace at Night [also known as The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum (Aries, France)]

Similarity?



Taken by someone that Fonster once knew - posted Sept 07



Taken by Fonster at Benfleet - England in June 2008


I am
not pretending to be when it is not - I do find similarity in the photos though they have been taken by two distinct individuals before they knew each other...at different phrases of their life... Know not what to say...maybe I am destined to stick with the old school...some words are best left unsaid...cos no matter what you say...nothing much is going to change...hence what's the point...one has to resign to fate even one doesn't want to...it has to sink in...what doesn't meant to be, doesn't meant to be...

Notes to Myself: My struggle to become a person - by Hugh Prather


"The rainbow is more beautiful than the pot at the end of it, because the rainbow is now. And the pot never turns out to be quite what I expected"

" I sometimes react to mistakes as if I have betrayed myself. My fear of them seems to arise from the assumption that I am potentially perfect and that if I can just be very careful I will not fall from heaven. But a mistake is a declaration of the way I am now, a jolt to the expectations I have unconsciously set, a reminder I am not dealing with the facts. When I have listened to my mistakes I have grown"

"I live from one tentative conclusion to the next, thinking each one is final. The only thing I know for sure is that I'm confused."

"What absurd amount of energy I have been wasting all my life trying to figure out how things 'really are', when all the time they weren't"

"All my life I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself."

Emotional Retard


Laying aside responsibilities & yearn for something that one cannot name or describe.

Irrationality, gullibility or even empty-headedness characterize my actions at times...spontaneity of action coupled with deficiency in judgment often lead to inadvertent revelation what should be concealed...unintentionally wreak havoc through confusion...powerless is the resulting punishment for my lack of 'normal' perspectives...
