Miles Rosenfeld, the official photographer for the World Trade Center memorial tour. He was smiling because a few seconds before I wanted to take a picture of him taking pictures of others, I saw from my viewfinder that he was taking pictures of my direction! Thus, the both of us smiled and laughed at the coincidence.

The faux tattoo actually had the word "FLEET" but I cut away the "T" and had the word "FLEE" instead. I felt that the meaning of the word and flag was appropriate for me since New York was a getaway from all the things that were going on here. Thus, fleeing.

Photobucket
Had to cover up my tired eyes due to the long flight!

Is that a couple kissing?

Forgive me for the long hiatus. I've been busy working.
I just came back from my holiday in America.

Here are some of the photos I shot in New York.

I hope you like them.

And The Boys
Sunday, April 25, 2010, 8:59 PM



It's been days now
and you change your mind again
it feels like years,
and i can tell how time can bend your ideas

and the boys go on and on and on and on
and the boys go on and on and on and on
and there's gold falling from the ceiling of this world
falling from the heartbeat of this girl
falling from the things we should have learned
falling from the things we could have heard

well it's been days now
and you change your mind again
all the cracks in the walls reminds you of things we said
and i could tell you that i wont hurt you this time
but it's just safer to keep you in this heart of mine

and the boys go on and on and on and on
and the boys go on and on and on and on
and there's gold falling from the ceiling of this world
falling from the heartbeat of this girl
falling from the things we should have learned
falling from the things we could have heard

and the boys go on and on and on and on
and the boys go on and on and on and on
and there's gold falling from the ceiling of this world
falling from the heartbeat of this girl
falling from the things we should have learned
falling from the things we could have heard

falling from the people that we heard
falling from the love we never earned
falling from the sky that should have burned
falling from my heart.

I don't need any of these boys who keep coming around.
I only intend to keep the one I have already found.

Yours truly,
Poison Ivy

Paris

Alone In Paris

Photo above: Stranded for one more night in Paris after the plane had to return back to the airport due to an electric malfunction.
Scary, I know. Nonetheless, I got to spend the night at Pullman Hotel (amazing place) courtesy of Singapore International Airlines.
And later that morning, the snow came falling down. It was really magical.

Photo below: On top of the Eiffel Tower. It was absolutely freezing and windy.

Yours truly,
Poison Ivy




Heart
Thursday, April 22, 2010, 8:29 PM


I left my heart beneath grains of sand, I left my heart in the sea.
I left my heart in Sentosa, where there was only you and me.
I left my heart in your hands, and that is where it would always be.

Hopefully.


Yours truly,
Poison Ivy

I've been listening to Coldplay the whole day.
Even their old EPs.

It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling of the night I caught them live in Singapore in 2009.
Yes, those are the photos I took.
(Please email & credit me if you would like to use them. Thanks!)

Yours truly,
Poison Ivy
