breakfast with you all over again

Remember my breakfast posts? I thought this place can't do without it. So yesterday, it was waffles with strawberry, blueberry and bananas.

Days are looking better for me and i wish the same for you. I tweeted that that's how it's going to be if you have faith. Truly, it's not okay to feel like you're walking on eggshells. I'm a pessimist, a natural. If you're anything like me you're in for trouble. So take faith with you, it's all you've got.

Now let's roll.

the big wish this xmas

Speaking of shoes and my minuscule feet, i ache soooooo badly for this vintage pair of Salvatore Ferragamo combat boots! No one knows how i feel about these boots. And i mean no one. This is true love.
BUT! Like any handsome bloke, there's a catch. It's a size bigger than my feet! Please help me! Can i really stuff fluff in there and learn to walk in it afterward? (Note: This is an actual question. I know i'm such a loser but you'll help me anyway right?)

If i nail this bad boy and you see me someday with them on, please be nice. Pretend you don't know what's going on down there and say hi!

p.s a very giggly post. Yes, the hyena sort.

shoe swap & girlfriends

Good Monday! How're you wherever you are? I'm feeling only a little better since the weekend but will still wrestle to keep my spirits up and flying before the gravitational pull of the earth eventually take me under.

By the way, have you ever done the shoe swap in the middle of anywhere? I see my girls do it from time to time but don't recall ever doing it myself because my feet is at least 2 size smaller than theirs. I'm not sure if it is unusual or embarrassing but i find it really cute when girls do that! I feel it suggests love in friendship, do you?

p.s this post is for my girlfriends. xo

have a rad weekend!

Breaks Fremantle, 85 High St, Perth, Australia.

I'm spending my time at home to laze and didn't expect to find myself reminiscing Freo; its good food, amazing coffee, awesome cafes and the wonderful friends i made there. I officially miss Fremantle more than anywhere else in Perth.

Well anyway, just wanted to say.. have a rad weekend guys!

how're you? i'm uninspired.

I'm suffering from a bad case of writer's block. I can't seem to even score one sensible sentence without it sounding like an eight year old's take on a little known subject say.. politics? That i reckon could have easily been a much better job. Not nice.

My only inspiration (or the lack thereof) to counter this painful mindlessness is the decision to go pictorial for a bit until some madness befall me. When my head spins from the magical gush of inspiration and fireworks, we'll speak of Christmas, my life-changing trip to Indonesia and what else if not the much anticipated new year which by the way is looking like a cave of precious treasures from where i am at present.

This year has been a tragic one for many of us if not all. Guess it's safe to say that the mishap army might just send a few more soldiers in so let's buckle up and fight the war to stay positive. I haven't come to a confident conclusion of why that is so and i'm beginning to suspect that the economic crisis is anything but a legitimate reason. Can't be too sure of that either.

Good to know that the days are numbered. I am in the process of gathering a few ideas for the new year and actively working on my resolutions. I won't forget to share that with you beautiful people before the year comes to a close. Let's all look forward and march into the new year with courage and hope.

Thank you for encouraging me to blog and staying put through many months of absence. Know that some of the best friendships began right here in this almost anonymous, humble little blog of mine. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! xx

the benevolent postcard society

Have you heard of them or seen their lovely blog?

"The society is a postcard exchange and art project in one, the aim of the Benevolent Postcard Society is to bring a smile to its members through the random exchange of postcards from September 2009 to September 2010. At the beginning of each month, members send a cheerful, amusing, inspiring, pretty or quirky postcard to each other — either handmade or readymade. At the end of the year, all the postcards exchanged will be collected and published as a book, the final result of a year's sharing of good karma through random acts of kindness."

Isn't this the most inspiring project? I admit, i have a not-too-strange fascination with receiving mails, be it cards or letters and especially if it is handwritten and posted from a reasonable distance. Do you like posting and receiving mails? I know a number of people who do. Shall we try this together for the new year and circulate positive energies and good karma to each other?

the new revolution?

“I suspect that many of the great
cultural shifts that prepare the way for political change are
largely aesthetic.”
J. G. Ballard

My two cents, aesthetic IS the new revolution is it not? Everything else in between wouldn't cut through the all obvious except to give it a different kind of form or to only beat around the bush. No?

Cool is still 'in' and so is botox, bad tv and the-so-called 'art' of today.

Yet another good read by adbusters.

my cousin weds..

and i'm planning her hen night! Thanks to my hectic schedule, i couldn't work on this sooner. The party is in four days and i'm rushing through every detail. The fact that i don't have a fantastic budget just gave me a panic attack this morning for i refuse to compromise my idea and is so determined to go all the way with it. Or at least three quarters of the way?

So stoked!

Apart from clubs and strippers, have you any ideas to share what would be great for a clean, girly and enjoyable hen do?
