For some reason seeing all those bikes makes me want to hop on mine and disappear off the face of this earth.
How nice it will be to lose myself...
I am thinking of making the ride on every road in Singapore into a book. I will call it "I Know Where You Live". It will be a pictorial study of how people interact with the streets they live, work, and play in. Urban spaces shape lives -- this can be like my master's thesis in urban anthropology.
It will take about a year and a half to complete a 1st draft. According to the Ministry of Transport, the total length of paved roads in Singapore is 3144 km. I have ridden that in about half a year.
Minus a month, because I might go in December on a solo trip 'somewhere'.
I am glad this blog is around.
It's like talking to myself, only I can play it back.
Who would have thought that writing would actually save my life and earn me a living. And now it may actually provide me with some direction in life. I don't believe in destiny anymore, but it sure is funny how life turned out.
I'm going to pitch this to publishers and see if I can arouse any interest. Perhaps I can get a small advance.
Perhaps I can still become a millionaire.
