Good idea

Magga would turn on and off this lighting all day.
For the feeling of lighting the matches.

My favorite quotes from Hermann Hesse

“I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way
we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.”


"Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can - that is their secret"


"If I know what love is, it is because of you."


"As a body everyone is single, as a soul never."


"Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go."


"Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud."


"One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time."

sofia coppola: somewhere

There is a time when we all fail,
some people take it pretty well,
some take it all out on themselves,
some they just take it out on friends,
oh everybody plays the game,
and if you don't you're called insane.....

HBD 50 years of Panton Chair

To celebrate the 50th years anniversary of this iconic chair.
These Panton chairs are customized from the the British Panton Chair Competition.
Nice.
I'm thinking of myself when I reach 50 and still look this cool like them.

Panton chairs in Church

Never been pictured how pantons chairs could go along with Church.
But they did make a wonderful job at St Bartholomew's Church
by Czech designer Maxim Velcovsky.
So cool.

Sunshine

According to the wheather forecast,
we will live with a heavy rain for the whole month
so a serious flood in Bangkok is the talk of the town.
This is all about the climate change.
So every morning, to wake up with a sunshine
and to know that Bangkok not become a sea is making my day.

My greatest talent is to sing and move my hands at the same time. It's not something I've thought through;
it's not that I'm trying to do signing. But it's nice – you can move your hands and shape the words.
Shirley Bassey's very good at it.

I wanted to be famous when I was young. I wanted to be a pop star. I was a shy child
and I had this idea that if I became famous it would be a social enabler.

I found it difficult - I still find it difficult now - to go up and start talking to somebody. I always think
I'm imposing on them, getting on their nerves. I thought: if I'm famous, people will come and talk to me;
once that's out of the way, it'll be OK.

I'm not very keen on ageing. I'm not keen on the physical decay. I probably am quite vain. 
I think you want to try and look OK for the benefit of other people.

I haven't got any phobias. But there are things that I dislike intensely. When a drink leaves a film 
on the side of a glass, I find that a bit bad. If I saw somebody drinking milk from a bottle, and there's a creamy deposit left on the glass – I hate that.

Money isn't important, but you have to have enough, so you don't have to think about it. 
Thinking about money is a drag.

I haven't sought therapy, but I think it could speed the process of getting through depression. 
You can get through it yourself, but speaking to someone else might make it faster – and in the end that's what you want. Depression is incapacitating; you don't do as much. You waste time.

I would like to believe in an afterlife; it makes things more palatable. But I'm not banking on it.

I am passionate about keeping the human dimension in things. You have to keep the rough edges 
and the inconsistencies, that's what makes it interesting. I've always striven to be as sloppy as possible.

The muddling through life is the exciting bit of it.

I am the happiest I've been for a long time.
