290 Orchard Road, my office for the month. One more week to go.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Too fragmented, my life. Nothing but a piece here, a piece there.
Cylindrical.
Handsome.
Spread.
Hemmed in four-way.
Terminal 1′s facelift is coming along nicely.
Blue.
A restricted view.
My first visit to ArtScience Museum.
Glass and steel.
Cheery colors.
12:37pm, arriving in Harajuku (原宿).
2:04pm, Omotesandō (表参道). The architecture of this building, Bulgari Café Omotesandō, continues to fascinate me.
2:22pm. Technically a flawed shot, but I like the visual cacophony of the various elements in the shot: the reflection of the street, depicting the narrowness of the typical side alley, bleeding into the basement restaurant; the ubiquitous presence of motifs and icons; the politeness in the gesture of the woman; the hashi in the lower right corner of the photo; the two foreigners; the sushi chef. Tokyo in a nutshell.
2:24pm. A papier-mâché E.T. employed as a—what else?—mascot for La Fée Délice, a café along a side street off Omotesandō.
3:43pm. The KDDI Designing Studio (KDDIデザイニングスタジオ) building features a ramp that spirals from the ground floor to the fifth floor.
4:13pm, WIRED 360º, KDDI Designing Studio.
4:34pm. WIRED CAFE is one of the rare establishments that offer truly free Wi-Fi, which is harder to find than you think. Odd, considering how Tokyo is about as tech-y as a city can get.
About
34, male and very Cancerian. Often irascible, even if he is prescient to his emotions. Lives for the resonance of beautiful passages, cinematic magic and aural bliss. Dabbles in fiction writing, photography, sketching and daydreaming in his free time, even though he is paid to do just those in a professional capacity.
He is, in other words, quite a geek.
