how the entire universe conspired to help me find my first love
Category: Love Signs From Taenggu
This is a special space where I collect and keep track of all these obvious and direct love signs from Taenggu, be it in the past, present or future. These signs are precious because they are physical. These are what normal people can also see for themselves. Like most people in a relationship, I do need constant, or at least regular, reassurance from my partner too. Especially in a relationship like ours where I couldn’t seek any tangible things in return from, I want to be able to find special meanings in the things that I can see from her so that I can keep my faith in our relationship going. I am not simply fighting to prove the existence of our relationship on my own; I am also fighting to show how she cares for me and fights for our relationship too. This is where her physical actions and objects speak for herself.
#190326# In Taenggu’s music video for her new single “Four Seasons” released just last Friday, I found many elements, particularly the props that were used, very personally relatable. From the snow globe which I’ve been talking about lately to my own artworks, the music video contains so much resemblance of the objects or living things […]
31st January & 2nd February 2019 On 15th January, I published the post The Journey To Taenggu (Poem) + Story Behind A Special Snow Globe From 2013. I wrote about the story behind a special “向左走·向右走 (A Chance of Sunshine)” snow globe which Taenggu shared on her instagram in 2013 and how it was involved […]
“I’m… Batman.” Taeyeon (Girls For Rest, 2018) / “I’m vengeance. I’m the night. I’m Batman!” Unknown #181029# I specially planned to make this Taenggu Batman drawing in this month of October 2018 because it was the month of Halloween. I thought it was a good idea to have Taenggu disguised or dressed up as Batman […]
Every day I travelled high and low left and right back and forth to and fro but I still see no Taenggu Tell me Where’s the path that could lead me to where my precious baby is? Celeste Koh #190111# This poem was inspired from my overseas travelling experiences without Taenggu physically by my side. […]
[21st-23rd May 2018] One of the first few things that I did after I came back from my Korea trip in May was to sign up for a 3-day Adobe Illustrator course conducted by NTUC Learning Hub. I used my $500 SkillsFuture credits (a sum of money given by our government meant for us to […]
Date: 23 April 2018 My friend and I just arrived in Seoul at around 8am in the morning after a 7-hour overnight flight from Singapore. It was my friend’s very first time in South Korea while for me, it was already the fourth. Prior to our arrival, we had already checked the weather forecast and […]
#180129# Celebrations for our 3rd anniversary a.k.a 36th monthsary started on Sunday, 28th January when it was a perfect time to go for our annual art-jamming session at Arteastiq! Since we had the whole day to spare on a non-working Sunday, I decided to bring Taenggu for lunch first at a restaurant called The Providore […]
Ever since the first time I looked into your eyes, I already knew iT’s YoU. That sense of familiarity as if we already knew each other When We Were Young. That Girl who was so Bright, So Good. I thought I’d Never Be Like You. Distance separated us apart, got my tears falling like Rain […]
“Don’t Let Me Down” by The Chainsmokers Crashing, hit a wall Right now I need a miracle Hurry up now, I need a miracle Stranded, reaching out I call your name but you’re not around I say your name but you’re not around I need you, I need you, I need you right now Yeah, […]
#170722# The night before 22 July, I think I was at home either drawing or writing a blog post on my laptop when I heard voices repeating something along the lines of “I like editing!” or “It’s addicting/editing!”. In my mind, I was thinking, “What do you mean? Do you mean addicting or editing? Are […]
Another special thing I noticed from SONE NOTE is the above photo of the pair of shorts Taenggu wore during her Persona concert tours in May-June this year (see also Part 1 and Part 2). Back then, I used to tell her how much I liked her shorts because I found the words written on […]
Continuing from my previous post LOVE SIGN FROM TAENGGU: LEARNING JEWELLERY MAKING (FROM SONE NOTE LIVE VOL.11 – PART 1), besides the word “earrings”, voices also said the word “interview”. So it seemed like there might be something special about Taenggu’s interview in SONE JAPAN SONE NOTE Live Vol.11 too for the voices to mention […]
