A Foggy Night

"I dreamt of you wanting to hurt me

in an island where no one lives."

I always have bad dreams

and woke up in the middle of the night.

with dreams of fear, cries, shout, felt betrayal, innocent, petrified…

28.06.11

And I lie on the road, again...

CARS! There my boyfriend ran away with his tripod and I ran away on heels.

Headie, the dog was so excited as we used to command him to cross the road,  but this time he must wandering why the human are playing on the road (could it be a forbidden place)?

I didn't sleep for the whole foggy night, my whole mind was full with ideas and I was planning for a foggy morning shoot.The weather forecast said it would be foggy on the morning of 29th june.

So I woke my boyfriend up at 7am and there we went with so many equipment and props and Headie the dog.Then only we found out there was no fog… But

We were able to take some photos of Hot Air Balloons with sunrise!

Which makes me think of a message from church the other day:

There, sometimes we grief on something that we expected to get,

but on the other hand, if you choose to move on quickly, God has actually prepared us for something better.

Sleep Out

in the cold...



08.06.2011
It was 8 degree Celsius after a hail rain in Melbourne.
I decided to "sleep" on the wet road for a shoot.
It certainly took a lot of courage to wear only a piece of cloth and lie on a wet road in this cold weather.
I took a big breath, took out my big fur coat, and ran to lie on the road when my boyfriend said GO!
Shivering... my left arm and feet were both wet and numb.
Whenever there were cars driving towards me, my boyfriend would shout CAR!
So I quickly got up from the road and ran to the side.
"What was that girl doing lying in the middle of the road in this cold weather?" The drivers wandered.

Surprisingly to know that there is The Vinnies CEO Sleepout in Australia.
More than 155 Melbourne community leaders roughed it to raise money for Australia's 150,000 homeless.
CEO's taking part in the event was given a beanie, a sleeping bag, a sheet of cardboard, a bread roll and a hot drink. It's a great way to raise awareness.
Some homeless people are asking for money in the street, most of them even wrote a cardboard describing their homeless situation.
Sadly to know that some of these homeless people are actually capable to find a job to support themselves.

I've gone through an article about old Melbournians who were born in the 1920s and lived
through the days before central heating and polar fleece.
They said:
Winter's just not what it used to be.
You call this cold? Whinging about the weather?
Imagine there was no heating, if you're cold, just put on CLOTHES and shut the bloody door.
They slept on the balcony and braving cold showers (imagine there were no hot water!).
Playing sport was the only way to warm the body up during the old times.

How good is the life of the generation Y nowadays? At least I have done my Sleepout.
