Happy Valentine's Day!

Whether you're chilling by yourself, celebrating with your special someone or hanging out with your friends,

have a beautiful valentine's day, my loves.

love is love

(more on heart bokeh, via armelle)

You snap out of self-destruction and discover that this heart has no care for its pesky problems than for the love of the one it truly aches for.

I knew that all i needed was to lean on Yas and all is well once again. I smiled, i laughed, i kissed, i told stories.. In short, i'm back as myself.

I must've done something right in my life to deserve this guy.

It's Valentine's Day tomorrow, what're your plans? With me being annoyingly down and uninspired the past weeks and Yas working tomorrow night, i don't have any hard work or masterpiece to share or boast about. But i am so impressed by some of the v'day crafts done by other bloggers that i would so love to share them if i can just find time.

I'm feeling like the luckiest girl in the world at present because i'm not going to be lonely at home tomorrow. My beautiful girls and i are going out for dinner and a mini gifts exchange. Like renewing friendship vows. Ah, my heart wants to explode.

Love is love. Godly in the most earthly way.

just what i need, the beautiful rain

(here)

It's finally raining and oh i miss the rain. Just looking out the window and smelling the rain is therapy on a whole new level already. I am so tempted to get Yas out of bed for a stroll in the rain with me.

My dears, we all have good weeks and bad ones. The last couple of weeks has made me much less of a warrior and honestly, i am tired and not feeling much like myself. For the many of us who were never born a positive person, cultivating it isn't the simplest thing to accomplish. Very much like fighting a war within yourself. I am so determined to keep charging forth and get through this tough time. Go over the hedge and emerge victorious.

Till then.

Have a glorious week, my loves.

what the butler saw

Have you seen the works of Loretta Chen? One of the big names in our local theatre scene today. Sometime ago she directed 251 and The Vagina Monologues. Now she's gone on to direct What The Butler Saw which is a remake of Joe Orton's satire and that's to debut this 7th February. I am so going to see it and you should too! More details and ticket prices here.

I didn't know she was directing another play until i bumped into her just a few days back. The story is that Loretta was my lecturer back in arts school, she taught me art theory and was probably the most laid back teacher at that time. She's incredibly open to discuss any topics, questions or answers and was a nice balance of passionate teacher and humorous friend. Which eventually lead to students smuggling beer into the lecture hall and such. That was then.

Anyway, we did a quick catch up and it ended with me telling her the unfortunate tale of why i left dance and what i was about to do in the months to come. She was so excited for me, knowing i wasn't going to give up art as a whole and handed me her name card. So now here's the happy ending. As if my star was bright that hot and humid Sunday, she offered me to come work for her when i graduate and come back. Eeeek! I would've ran around naked! It was such an honour.

The issue is, though, i never imagine i'd come back but i suppose it's always great to have a Plan B.

We'll see what the future has in store for me. For now, i invite you to join in my journey towards the unpredictable future.

up on my photo-blog this week

At last, i've got some pictures uploaded on my photo-blog! Following my last post, i've put up some photos from the party at Angus'.

Happy Thursday!

city of love/god

You guys, how was the lunar new year? I got the rest much needed and had a teeny weeny party over at Angus' crazy rocking apartment in the heart of town. So pretty i almost moved in. I have pictures to share. Also, watched City of God, which is a brilliant film based on a true story.

Thanks so much for your well wishes about my taking a break. I have the sweetest readers.

By the way, what's going on this Valentine's Day? Me and Yas hasn't spoken about it at all. On the second thought, I think we did, very briefly though. Which only means one thing, neither of us have got a clever idea up our sleeves and is too afraid to say so or, one or both of us has an idea and is getting sneaky about it. I'm getting butterflies already.

Again, Valentine's Day isn't just for us with a partner. I am spending the lovely 14th with my girlfriends and will toast to our many, many, many years of friendship. I have an amazing friendship with 4 of my girls.

Eeek! I'm all mush right now. Better be going and in the meantime, have a peek at the explosive works of Irene Suchoki. This series, 'Paris: City of Love', is my favourite. Came across and marveled while surfing for my V'day surprise. Enjoy!

we're closed

(cool.cool.hip.hip)

Just kidding. Taking a blog-break for the week. In major need of rest and rejuvenation. Have a good week, my loves!

all that jazz

Gasp! I feel like gathering a bunch of random girlfriends and watch Theo Crocker in action at this jazz club in town (i never knew it existed!). What dyou think? Shall we?

If no one wants to come and all else fails, i'm so going with Dad. Can't think of a bigger jazz fan.

le smoking

Now that is a smoking blonde. (le smoking)

Which reminds me, i should get my rayban fixed or some advice about what to do with it now that it's a little damaged after being sat on by accident (it happens, doesn't it?). Just maybe, i should invest in one with a smaller frame like hers? Don't know if it works on my face shape though. Shrugs.

of what might come

Hi and sorry about the tension left lingering in the air, product of the last post. I hope it came out right though. I didn't mean to offend except to say what's been bugging me. Anyhow, I just want to apologise where it can be applied.

Moving on.

Alas, one of my life's goal might just come real. To move out by 21. I am so anxious and am dying for it to happen. Doing my sums more intensely now than ever to a point of insomnia. Sometimes i give myself unnecessary pressure and best be brained with a shoe.

A strange feeling just washed over me and i've a gut feeling that entries will reduce from something almost daily to maybe once a couple of days. That motion may go on for months, can't tell for sure. But by mid-year, i suspect things around here will take on a completely different form.

And as always, can't resist sharing a few more series of pictures with you folks. Just need to find time to re-organize, edit where necessary and go through the pain of uploading. That's just one way of looking at it. The other, well, I'll have them out soon anyway.

Have a rocking Tuesday.
