"At the end of the day, I just want to be proud of the person I have become.
I want to be proud of the love I gave — of the way in which I risked my heart despite being hurt. I want to be proud of the effort I showed those I cared about, I want to know with a ruthless certainty that I showed up as much as I could, that I made people feel seen, that I made those around me feel less alone in this chaotic world. I want to be proud of my life — of the way I healed, of the way I made mistakes and learned from them, of the way I felt everything even when it wasn’t convenient or comfortable. I want to be proud of the way I grew, of the way I let go, of the way I pushed myself to be a better person. At the end of the day, I just want to be able to say without hesitation that I lived my life, that I did not just take a back seat to my pain, or to my flaws, or to whatever hardships came my way. I want to be able to say that I am proud of the way I survived. I want to be able to say that I did not take one day for granted." - Bianca Sparacino

Sculpture: “Contract” by Anthony Gormley
📍Gallop Extension at Singapore Botanical Gardens

20 years ago today, the horrific terror attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York City changed the world forever.

The danger to us was nearer than we imagined. We discovered among us a terrorist group that was planning similar attacks on multiple targets here. Fortunately ISD acted in time to prevent this, and subsequent attacks.

The greater threat for multi-racial and multi-religious Singapore was not physical, but whether this would damage our social cohesion. We drew on the trust built up over many years among our different communities and with the Government. Working together, we overcame powerful forces unleashed by the extremist attacks that could have pulled us apart.

The fight against terrorism is far from over. Digital media has allowed extremist ideologies to spread and poison minds. At the same time, our racial harmony is still work in progress. On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, let us resolve to fortify ourselves so that should we ever face another such test one day, we will come through again, stronger, as one united people.

蘋果被法庭令解禁app支付限制，但韓國近期預演應有準備。 #AAPL #蘋果

Apple Inc. was ordered by a court to allow developers to steer consumers to outside payment methods for mobile apps, in a ruling that is a severe blow to the iPhone maker.

A federal judge granted an injunction sought by Epic Games Inc. Friday while also ordering the game maker to pay damages to Apple for breach of contract. The order could take a big bite out of the profitability of the App Store: according to analysts the App Store takes in more than $20 billion a year with a profit margin above 75%.

... and you look out at this great big blue expanse, and it's shimmering and it's moving and there's waves and there's surf and there's tides, but you have no idea for what lies in there. The problem, I think, is that we take the ocean for granted.

當你看著大海一望無際的藍，如此波光粼粼、驚濤駭浪，它有風浪、有狂瀾、也有高低潮汐，但我們對底下的世界一無所知，真正的問題，也許是對於海洋的存在，太過理所當然。

——

2022 年，我希望每天能借用你一分鐘的時間，和你介紹一種海洋生物。

有在沸水中生活的蠕蟲、在零下水域安居的冰魚；
有可以返老還童的水母、可以男扮女裝的烏賊
有會畫畫的河豚、會跳舞的蝦子、會唱歌的鯨魚

而日曆的名字，叫做《漫遊者號》，源自 MBARI 深海探測器的名字。我期待他能像一台小潛水艇，帶大家一窺海中的世界。

Three weeks back with my family resumed in this video. I can't resist to watch this video again and again, always feeling those goosebumps and emotion coming up. I'm thankful to had the chance to visit them during this not ending epidemic, I didn't take it for granted and enjoyed every second of this trip. Here are some of those memories that I share with you.

Short Film 「CHOICE」

Are we blessed to be born?
What is blessing?
realistic element?
Or the sense of blessing a blessing itself?

我々は祝福され生まれてきたのであろうか
現実的な要素が祝福か？
祝福と思える考えがそれそのものか？

There’s no fairness in this world.
Time, Race, Age, Circumstances...
Every factor can change the way it works.

平等というものはこの世にはない
等しく皆に訪れる事柄でも、時代、人種、年齢、環境…
様々な要因が、作用を変化させる

Relativistic words swirl around, and distort our concepts.
The words that seem to provide hope have prerequisites that are taken for granted.
They don't even care about those who fell off from the frame.

相対評価的な言葉が渦巻き、概念を歪めていく
一見前向きな希望を謳った言葉も当たり前かのような前提条件があり
その枠に漏れたものの存在など考えてもいない

Hope turned into justice,
and the meaning of empathy changed to consumers.

いつしか希望が正論に変わり
共感の意味は消費者に変わった

So, are we all alone
No one is the same, we never understand each other.
but no one can live alone.

では我々は孤独なのであろうか
同じ人間は1人としておらず、理解し合うことはできない
だが、人は1人では生きていけない

Definitions are made from standards, and standards are different for each one of us.
Therefore, it may seem relative, but it is absolute.

定義は基準によって為され、基準は人それぞれだ
よってそれは相対的に見えて絶対的なのだ

“Love” is always tough. Painful. Frightful.
It's up to us to choose whether we want to be loved.

辛く、苦しく、恐ろしい愛の方が多く
それを愛されるとするかは選択次第なのだ

Life is painful.
Life is beautiful.

生きることは、苦しく
生きることは、美しい
