Ooe 2nd and third wash

2nd wash was at the start of September (one year anniversary of the contest), forgot to record. 

3rd wash coming up soon, 3rd December. :)

First wash for Ooe

First wash for the Ooe contest jeans.

60 degrees, 900 rpm, for 1hr 22 mins. Fingers crossed.

Wet weather brings about mold!

I hate mold

Spotted some mold on my Warehouse and ROYs, so I have to wash them.

ROYs 3rd wash

ROYs have a small patch of what seems like mold, so I am machine washing them just in case! :)

Restlessness

Restlessness.
There's got to be more,
But how to bring it to the fore?

Life and Death

Life and death.
Part and parcel of this journey we are all taking.
When one life ends, the living takes comfort in doing what reminds us what living is all about.
Eating, spending time with friends and loved ones, spending time in a way that truly matters.
Isn't it sad, that it takes a major upheaval in our lives to recognize that life is for the living?
Carpe diem, and don't waste a moment.

My life

Like grasping at smoke, snatching at a dream, drinking from a mirage, and dancing far from the brink. 

Don't die.

Oh my quasi-abandoned blog! Oh I missed you. I promise from now on, I will try my best to revive you. Not that anybody cares much...

Wishy Washy

Decided to throw 3 pairs of jeans into the laundry, and make them clean for wearing.

Denime XX Type - 3rd wash
ROYs OG - 1st wash

Hello Spring, Goodbye Winter

Hello Spring, and goodbye Winter.
Into a new season do I enter.
No more cold, dark and gloomy days.
Time to put a smile back on my face.
I learned to wait, I learned to trust.
You are on time, not too slow, never too fast.
Remind me to stay grateful, and keep You in mind,
In the best of times, and when stuck in a bind.
And in every season teach me never to forget,
Your garment of praise, for my cloth of sack.

Remember me, please.

PBJ Hot Soak

A soggy Peanut Butter & Jelly. Nice.

It'd be a dark day when you realize that you are utterly unremarkable, not talented, unquestionably ordinary, and you don't have the right connections to boot.

It'd be a dark day when you realize that what you prided yourself in is not that special, and not that polished as you think.

But the good thing is that you know it's not in your hands anymore.

" ... the base things of the world ... "

Hot soak spree

On a hot soaking spree! Just threw my Denime XX types into the bucket for a hot soak. Hoping to curb my eczema by having clean jeans..

ROYs hot soak

Did a hot soak last night, to try to get rid of weird creases. Even tried ironing them out while damp. No avail. Oh well.

Drawing away

I sense a drawing away.

Let me not be distracted to the left, nor the right.

Focus.

Night terror

Night terrors are no fun at all.

It's time

When I am there for you, and you are not for me, it's time.

When I am the one always reaching out, and you are not, it's time.
When I am more concerned for you, than you for me, it's time.
When I finally see the light, and you don't, it's time.
When I don't see the point, and you never did, it's time.
When I decide to move on, and you are not part of the equation, it's time.
When I am the only one detecting the cracks, and you don't, it's time.
When I know everything's not fine, but you don't, it's time.
When I feel disappointed, and you don't know why, it's time.

Oh yeah, it's time.

Bye.

ROYs hot wash

With all the hoohaa going on, I decided to give my ROYs a hot soak and start wearing them for a special occasion on Sat. :D Went all the way to my auntie's place, because her washing machine has a hot wash option, and gave my ROYs a quick tumble at 60 degrees Celsius. The water turned all blue and stuff, and now the jeans are back home drying in front of the fan. Hope I can fit into them.
