solomalmö // 31st march 2007

after the photoshow hopping in Lund, i quite spontaneously decided that night that i would go to Malmö the next day, a city 15mins away by train, to catch some more photoshows that were part of the photography month in Skåne. and so i bravely went! oke actually it's not that daunting lah, not that drastically different from travelling from Clementi to Orchard to catch photoshows.. but it was still quite exciting and liberating too!

i really enjoyed the shows in Malmö especially the doublebill at Fotografins Rum, Malmö Museer by Arno Rafael Minkkeinen and Susanna Hesselberg. and i also met a fellow solomalmötripper along the way so it was even more enjoyable after that! the shot above is my layer-on of one of Susanna Hesselberg's works.

perfekt day // 29th march 2007

after that rough night, i decided that i probably need make myself go out and do things that i normally do back home that i haven't been doing for almost 3 months.. and that worked super well!

i went walking about to see photography shows in town, sent my holga rolls for development, finally got a library card at the city library which turned out to be a really nice place, borrowed photobooks, bought small boxes (which i collect) as well as super cute little tomtes (what gnomes are called in Sweden). along the way i also chanced upon yeo hiap seng soya bean milk, muruku and umbrella jelly...little spots of home!

after that i was really tired but felt so much better and finally more emotionally acclimatised to life here. thank God! :]
