Practice Diary 1 – Mon, 27 Feb 2022

Tossing and turning in the chrysalis. Breaking down a dream. The images change but the pattern stays the same. It’s always a house I can’t leave. I think this is the first time I dreamt it as a Mall. It’s the one I grew up in – 1 Utama. I’m a ghost wandering down darkened thoroughfares, reciting brand names like I’m identifying plants in the forest: Watsons, NEXT, Laura Ashley, Somerset Bay, British India, Royal Sporting House, Dragonfly, ESPRIT, MNG, Topshop…

Nice to come home to my home on the internet. When did home become a place where no one wants to visit anymore? It’s warm in here, I lit a fire.
