me and books: masquerade

Can you imagined my excitement finding this book in between
piles of other books in a second hand bookshop that I used to
visit on weekend. Its amazing illustration on the cover instantly
swoon me. But apart from its illustrations, there are many other
beautiful things about this book when I read it later on.

Tara Heinemann aka Kit Williams making this book in three years
from the picture and the story. There is a hidden riddle inside the
story to find a prize, which is a golden hare adorned with precious
stones and faience. This extraordinary jewel made by Kit Williams
himself out of 18-carat-gold, lies buried in a ceramic container.
The jewel will belong to whoever discovers its hiding place.

Solutions to the riddle can be sent to Kit Williams c/0 Schocken
Books. Kit Williams will send, at his expense, an airline ticket to
England to the person who solves the riddle. Now, this book is
made in 1979 and published in 1980...shouldn't be any winner
by now do you think? Hmm...what a storybook, right? I'm so glad
I find it. Yay!

me and collage: Pretty Kabuki!

An A4 art print of this available today at my shoppe.

What a Sunny Sunday!

We woke up at six by the breakfast knocks on our door.

A hot bowl of egg and noodle. Yum. We quickly take a bath

and went straight to the market. We thought of looking some

second hand stuff but instead we went from one big toys shop

to another. It's interesting how toys seemed like a big business

on this small city. Oh the city called Kuningan
(it means Yellowish, in English. No kidding.) in West Java,

close to the Ciremai mountain.

Next, we went to this place where there are some relics from

2500 AD being found here in 1972 and then we went back to

the city for another stroll on the market looking for lunch

before going back to the hotel and start our journey back

to Jakarta. It's six hours bus ride but it's worth every single

minute of it. Thanks bunches to my love for such an interesting

trip for my birthday this year. Yay!

me and book: i love journals

Courtney, when I say I love you I am not ashamed, nor will
anyone ever ever come close to intimidating persuading,
etc me into thinking otherwise. I wear you on my sleeve.
I spread you out wide open with the wing span of a peacock,
yet all too often with attention span of a bullet to the head.
I think its pathetic that entire world looks upon a person
with patience and a calm demeanor as the desired model citizen.
Yet there's something to be said about the ability to explain
oneself with a toned down, tune deaf tone. And I will say it:
I am what they call the boy who is slow. How I
metamorphosised from hyperactive to cement is for lack
of a better knife to the throat uh, annoying, aggrevating,
confusing as dense as cement. Cement holds no other minerals.
You can't even find fools gold in it. Its strictly man made and
you have taught me it's ok to be a man and in the classic
mans world I parade you around proudly like the ring on
my finger which also holds no mineral. Love kurt
