<rumours>

'want to start a rumour? i slept with 2 gorgeous women last nite'

- the affairs and intrigues that exist within my immediate environment

and the complexity of the human mind.

i always appreciate the anonymity of getting to a new place -

coming from a tiny island, it's hard to get past 2 streets

without meeting someone you know,

or someone who knows someone you know.

what i liked that about beijing at first is that,

there are always thousands of people everywhere

but never anyone who i know, or who knows me

i could walk down the street with a pink polka dotted top hat

for all i care

but these days,

the constrain i felt at home is beginning to surface

a stranger coming up to me with

'we've met before'

makes me so self-conscious

NOT that i've been caught in any awkward or embarassing situation ever, in public

but still.

maybe i need to start looking for a new place...
