I blog because I enjoy creating.

I blog so I can break the 4th wall between me and my thoughts.

I blog to surprise you with a visual and verbal treat each time you come.

I blog as a means to update the people around me on what has been happening in my life and the things I find fascinating.

I blog so I can have an organized timeline of thoughts (especially the drafts).

I blog as a way to express my impromptu dashes of creativity.

I blog because not everyday is the same!

Bonjour monsieur/madame, je m'appelle William et je suis désolé je parle très peu français mais il parle français.

Attendez un moment s'il vous plaît.

Redirecting French customers with my broken French learnt off a colleague has been enlightening.

"A tribute to Ridley Scott and Vangelis, whose atmospheric work on Blade Runner has been a huge source of inspiration in my shooting time lapses, as well as for entire generations of filmmakers. I hope this will make many of you want to revisit (or discover if you haven't yet) this genre-defining movie."

Shot roughly over a year in Tokyo with a Canon 5dmk2, mainly in the Shinjuku area.

Music: "Main Titles" and "Blush Response" from Vangelis' haunting score.

Do people lose themselves because they don't have a home or a path to walk down?

Or is it because even though they have many places to go, there is not one person waiting for them there?

I need an airbag.

I need an airbag.

It's too late to avoid it.

I think it was from the sugar spree that I currently have the concentration of a petrified peanut which leads me onto my next point; analogies. Botched analogies especially. So the other day I slipped in a spontaneous analogy when talking to a work colleague about a customer but to my dismay and to their utter confusion the analogy came out quite, well, wrong. That is not to say the analogy didn't serve its purpose in explaining the customer had indecision problems but rather the analogy I used was so wrong and right at the same time. That got us thinking how often is it that something which sounds so right in our minds comes out unlike anything we initially thought of? I perchance came across a top 25 list of terrible/hilarious analogies and my shortlist is as follows:

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a ThighMaster.

2. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

3. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

Actually the entire list was a fantastic read and it's only made sweeter because I can completely relate. Metaphorical hats off to each individual!

Getting this strange buzz juggling all these commitments and being on top of it ..

a sign of madness or going in the right direction?

Because no great story started with a salad.

1 person out of 7,000,000,000 people
on 1 of 8 planets
in 1 star system out of 100,000,000,000 star systems
in 1 galaxy out of 100,000,000,000 galaxies.

and yet He still cares.

Why?

No posts since two weeks ago? What a travesty. It's okay I'm here to remedy that.

So last weekend I bought a slushie machine to explore the wonders of mixology but due to a full week I left the box in the corner until midday today. With high expectations of mixing up a signature drink in my favourite Y I thought I had the procedures down but little did I know.

To give you an understanding of how the machine works, there's a rotating cup on the inside and a concentric container (translucent blue part). Now you have to fill the metal cup with copious amounts of salt and ice and the drink mix on the outside. 30 minutes of classy bossanova (the ideal mixing music) later I was still wondering how the ice mixture in the metal cup was going to connect with the mixture and become a delicious pina colada. Cue an ape like troubleshoot as I peered in and out and around the machine with invisible question marks and the odd exclamation mark floating atop my head. Now I'm sure some of you have already figured out by now and am ESPing me taunts but I'll explain why it didn't work and why I am now drinking a very chilled but non-slushified drink which still tastes pretty damn fantastic I might add. Long story short the ice inside the cup had nothing to do with the mixture but rather it was just there to be cold enough to chill the mixture but not become it.

Mystery solved and in hindsight maybe the 2 caps of salt were quite obvious ..
