Chopsticks. A part of asian culture, we use chopsticks in our daily lives to eat. Chopsticks are usually made of wood, metal and plastic. What if I have concrete chopsticks? What do I do while using chopsticks? What do I use chopsticks for?

Chopsticks. A part of asian culture, we use chopsticks in our daily lives to eat. Chopsticks are usually made of wood, metal and plastic. What if I have concrete chopsticks? What do I do while using chopsticks? What do I use chopsticks for?
When I am eating using chopsticks, I'm reading a travel magazine. There's a picture of the Statue of Liberty, what if I replace the torch on the Lady's hand with chopsticks for comedic effects? Ever eaten at a place with too many flies surrounding you? Isn't it irritating to keep on using your hands to swat them off? What about a chopstick bug repeller, an odourless one? Ever felt that your surrounding while eating with chopsticks is so mundane? What about a chopstick violin filler so that you can play the violin while you eat or even after that to brighten up the whole place? Use your chopsticks to create smiles, don't just use them to eat.
DAY 01:
Finding this bookstore that sells so many art books got me so excited.
DAY 02:
Was wondering if I could replace all this road poles with different patterns from different era.
Etc. The patterned tiles below are from the Victorian Era.
DAY 03: Hidden among buildings.
DAY 04:
Project work at CHIJMES.
DAY 05:
They say the sky represents freedom, why do I feel that sometimes its a matter of perspective? After all, the same sky the people being held captive represents longing ... or maybe even mockery.
DAY 06:
Reflections.
DAY 07:
VAN CLEEF AND ARPELS at the Art Science Museum, 7th August 2016. The trip to this exhibition was really eye opening and I've learnt so much of how Master Jeweller are passionate about their job and role in making a necklace and how different minerals and rocks can be identified.
STEVEN JOHNSON's TED TALK REVIEW
Where does good ideas come from?
We have this rich vocabulary to describe moments of inspirations: Flash, Stroke, Epiphany, Eureka and Lightbulb. All these concepts share this basic assumption of that an idea is a single thing, something that happens often in an illuminating moment. The argue is that an Idea is a network, not a single thing. To get your brain stimulated to create ideas in a network is to get the ' network pattern of the outside world ' and the ' network pattern of your inside world ' to work together as a web of network that belongs to you. Take note of your surroundings, from people to objects to buildings, view your surrounding in different perspective to actually create ideas that becomes innovation. One way to stimulate this network is to put yourself into an chaotic environment with others from all walks of life such as a coffee house. Share your mistakes, your successes with others to learn from each other and don't compress your stories. Great ideas happens in such stimulations. Don't cage your ideas like caged birds, share them with a network. Chance favours the connected mind.

P.S. My camera simply does not do justice to any of the pieces.
