EDITORS’ NOTES: A gentle tip of the hat to Mr. Sim Wong Hoo.

Who you are, is you. It is your turn. Every which way. It’s okay if you missed it today, tomorrow is round the corner.

Chances. Opportunities. Mis-Takes. During daily trips down blind alleys, over a hundred (plus) months, eventually, I made my greatest discovery. ‘It’ hit me flush in the face. Fortuitously. ‘Twas Autumnal outside, the light was low, and I was suffering a bad case of glazyitus. On that home stretch after one particular gruel, there, I met myself coming back… and I didn’t like who I saw one bit. Which felt strange, because, religiously, I always had tried to love people equally. Only, this was different. My doppelgänger was a shadow of the individual who set out that cold decade ago. To shorten this side-rant, what followed our collision was a series of sharp turns. My intention for the morrow is to look back a little less. Whichever way you go, do it your way.

EDITION I: 55 per colourway.
