Gold in the air of summer

Gold in the air of summer
- Kings of Convenience

We like giving anything away
I can say it's by the sea
It's a house that used to be
The home of a friendly mind

We like giving anything away
We find ships inside of bottles
When the garden's overgrown
The house is white, but the paint is coming off

I didn't know if you wanted to
But I came to pick you up
You didn't even hesitate
And now you and me are on our way
I think I've bought everything we need
Don't look back, don't think of the
All the places we should've been
It's a good thing that you came along with me

Gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer

5 Litas = 1 x Phiphi Happy Braids

I've had some intentions to look for work here, just wanted to experience life here for sometime. And now that I have very much emptied out my wallet and more, I will need that little bit of cash. I am lucky to find that I can help out at a friend's bar for some nights.

This is where I work.

While I also planned to make braids to support some part of my travel outside Lithuania, I didn't make enough to sell. Most of the braids I've made were presents to friends, and people I've met in travel. Until today. Today I got my first 5 LT. After returning to Lithuania, I've put some in Iggy's mum's gallery. And it happened that a teenage girl bought one of them, for 5 LT.

What does 5 LT do here in Lithuania? (exchange SGD 1 ~ 1.7LT)


1 x Packet of Barclay Ciggarettes








1 x 0.5L Svytury Baltus beer









1 x Phiphi Happy Braids

Please give me your Electronic Mailer Address!

Have you ever wondered what is real and what might not be?

Today I tried to email some friends from germany whom I've got to know at Shambala Festival. After writing my heartfelt emotions and updates of my current life, I then happily clicked on the "send" button, thinking to myself how good it is to have this connection.

*Poof* In less than 1 second (as impressed as I am with the speed nowadays), came a return mail from . Moritz's mail has failed to receive. Permenant failure.

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 Unknown local part

At this very instant, I flashed back to some memories of him and then in the very same moment doubted his existent. I also recall the same happened sometime ago, with Kimo's email (Finnish DJ).

Permenant failure email. Yucks.

I have a tiny, messy black book which I write my friends' contact information (or they write) inside. Never did I doubt the book nor the writer. Perhaps a slight suspicion that both of them have vanished or something.

So, keep in mind to check that your mailer works from time to time.

**POOOF***

Cocorosie

Saturday Morning.
I woke up early today after last night's party. Still feels drunk a little. But hmm... didn't think I had that much to drink anyway. Maybe it's the mix of wine, beer, and brandy. I started to listen to Cocorosie in the room alone. If you have heard cocorosie, you'd agree with me that their music is perfect for spending time alone and perfect for falling in love with another.

Sometime ago I wrote a mail to Yun. I ask her, if she would free fall with me. For her, I believe MoMo is her world. Her love, sanctuary, and her peace. Because she later replied "no matter what, momo will touch down tomorrow, and there will be plenty of free falling..."

I think while listening to Cocorosie, I fell in love with them. Very much. There's one song that says "I just want to be your housewife..." And it's quite a lovely picture, perfect housewives, lot's of TLC (tender loving care) , cosy vibes. But it also gets kind of obsessive and almost sadistic. Reminds me of my mother, the perfect housewife. Ohh... guess I missed mummy... :)

I want to freefall. I am already freefalling. who's ready?

By your side

I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I just wanted to be your housewife
All I wanted was to be your housewife
I'll iron your clothes
I'll shine your shoes
I'll make your bed
And cook your food
I'll never cheat
I'll be the best girl you'll ever meet
And for a diamond ring
I'll do these kinds of things
I'll scrub your floor
Never be a bore
I'll tuck you in
I do not snore
I'd wear your black eyes
Bake you apple pies
I don't ask why
And I trys not to crys
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
And it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife
'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Is to die a housewife

The Niceistan Ideology

The Niceistan Ideology

Niceistan is the new established nation-state that has built its national identity rooted in goodwill and hospitality. A nation of free, open-minded and honest people of crazy nice-ness As the name suggests, Niceistan refers to the land of nice, nice, nice ("Nice - Istan"). Niceistan was first conceptualised on the sandy Baltic beaches of Pervalka (Neringa 1/2 Island), by Dragas, who was sitting amongst his friends hunged-over and sunburnt but probably very happy. Thus the start of "Niceistan" on 21st June 2006 in Baltic State Lithuania. Here in Niceistan, there're no laws, no ethical discussions of individual responsibilities, no malace. Here is freedom of being, freedom of love, good music, nice parties and beautiful people; where fluidity and connectivity nature of life is most intensively expressed. As with all good things, the Niceistan Ideology began to spread to others slowly but surely. In this age of capitalistic manipulation, violence and terrorism, more and more people have began on a journey of self-discovery, recognising the need to find and create space for peace and solace. Pioneered by Iggy M, it started the revolutionary movement of gathering all the nice people from different parts of the world and the nation started to grow as one connects through another.






Welcome to Niceistan, have a nice nice nice stay in Niceistan.





























"...we may be spoilt by goodness, arrogant in our freedom, but we are real and we love life with sincerety and altruism..."

Sudden Urge

Have returned 2 days ago to Lithuania, after ą month of intensive traveling and hitch-hiking. Spain, Portugal, Morroco. Back with a bag packed full of adventures, deeper insights and new perspectives. But also, I am exhausted both physically and mentally. Now suddenly, I feel a rush to go home to Singapore. To re-created the space and lifestyle that I like, to perhaps materialise this better imagination of love and life I've experience with all the people that I've met. And all the beautiful things in life.

Romantic, sentimental and staying connected.

As with all first meetings with people, questions questions and more questions. We are curious cats inside. What do u do in life, where are u from, what is your language, how long holiday do u have...

These questions are meaningless for me. I don't even know how to answer them if I were to be completely honest with myself. Talk is sometimes meaningless, I like better to connect via the shared experience of a common reality or the "imagined" common reality.

Sometimes I feel that questions form the expectations of the other individual. Well, most people expect some kind of answer to their questions. But hey there, it is actually alright to have no answer. So, keep it open always.
