Larkin Step - Ling86

Beautiful melody but the meaning of this song is difficult to understand. This is written by a local Singaporean, Ling86.



God he turned and walked away
I couldn't think of what to say
when plane engines fall through your roof
and I broke my knee while walking down the street that I live in
While no one was passing by

Chorus:
Life goes along and it trickles down the cheeks of every beautiful boy
Time moves along and it breaks every bone in your spine

Into the flight of night
Insomnia strikes and hopes alight
We set ourselves up to fall
So we stargaze and we write down all the things that we'll do
Fall into the river our pockets full of stones
Full of stones..

Chorus, etc.

How should I move forward....

Just thinking how I should move forward with my blog, given that now that I am also on Facebook. One disadvantage of Facebook has is that it does not me to write down my thoughts or stuff that I would like to share with my friends.

Yesterday I went to a workshop, "Finding the Right Words" conducted by Natasha at the Post Museum near Farrer Park.

It was an eye-opener and insightful session where people who are interested in writing and communcation come together to share, discuss and learn from one another on how to find the right words to communicate honestly to the target audience. I must said I have learnt much from this session.

It never really occurred to me the huge amount of work that goes into the heart, mind and soul in writing a good piece of work to convey a key message to a target audience. Another aspect is also how we can engage the readers or audience.

Natasha shared with us a few examples of what she thought were good writings:

1. The (RED) Manifesto

2. The Problem Playground - Honda

3. Howie

While sharing and discussing with the group in workshop, I remembered the Hope Brisbane Youth Ministry website that I visited. It is not plainly called "Youth Ministry" but Ablaze! Ministries International. I am quite impressed by how Ablaze! communicates to their community. One the other hand, I am thinking why our CG name is like a code name. It does not really communicate and excite the people. An area that we need to improve.

"People who write well, think well", a quote I like from "We, Me, Them & It" by John Simmons.

So much more to learn about writing and communicating....
