DIY media bits


mind the gulp

Posted in blog by citymedia on November 10, 2008

I had just deleted a very uninteresting introduction to this next post, not because I thought it was superficial but because I thought that the discovery of the life of ‘the annotated budak’ deserved a more creative form of introduction.

I have not yet find similar interest with someone writing a blog in particular focusing on catching urban snippets linked with wildlife. but when I opened ‘the annotated budak’ and scrolled the variety of posts, I have found that mix of casualness and symphony which made me extremely curious to dig further.

It’s been six months I have been living in Singapore and have not yet clearly decipher how to explain my perceptions of this city. one thing is for sure. I found immediately connected to the forms and the familiarity of the sounds in the blog I was reading – as I have appreciated the local short film scene and finding a trailer from a wiked tale, of a strange experimental genre, melodic in its own ways sent me a buzz. believe me, when I watched the movie on a sunday afternoon, there were only five heads among the audience overlooking the screen. 

reading further, his/her  pictures, messages and books I found familiar and some I am yet to discover, and so its the city – Singapore – the proximity and the glories of nature and the infinite layers of unwritten paths, unwritten in tourist guides. 

I would now stop with this nonsense to immerse myself in the discovery of the annotated budak. careful, you are allowed to gulp if you read this blog, when you encounter species, ferocious and mankind alike. here there are no rules only freedom.
