*Clickety Click*
I was in a photoshoot 2weeks ago :D
But before you jump into conclusions & think that I'm an aspiring model...I wasn't the subject!
*This baby was!*
So here's a sneak peek into our photo session:
*WanXiong, the photographer setting up*
We shot @ Docklands on a Sunday morning.
Thankfully it was deserted save for a few joggers/loading trucks.!
After half an hour of sitting in the car/standing around..
I decided to entertain myself by whipping out my very own handy cam ;)
Who says photography is only for proffessionals? hehe*
So here's my first attempt at being creative:
*A close up of his camera lens..& if you look closely, you'll spot the 3 of us!*
I liked the effect of mirror images & started taking reflective shots.
WanXiong thought it was a cool idea too !
Here's his version:
*Candid*
Before we wrapped up...
*I couldn't resist a self shot* ;p
*And attempted to convert my bf into a camwhore too*teehee
Sigh.
I miss having fun, carefree weekends.
My exams are in less than a week...All 4 of them!!!
I so terrified that I actually dreamed that I finished my exams and am back in KL.!
>.<
Dear God,
Pleaseee let me do well~!

*Last Day on Earth-Kate Miller*
I have been hooked on this song ever since I heard it on the radio.
For those of you who don't know this song, go have a listen!
I was never a fan of melancholic songs, but there is a paradoxical sense of love&peace in this beautiful tune...
"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life."
*With love <3

*Hungry I am*
I am on a 3day detox .
(ie. nothing but fruits & salad)
And it is pure TORTURE !!!
Especially when I'm sitting in a restaurant full of aromatic dishes & eye-catching desserts :(
Okta was sweet enough to endure 1day of torture with me :)
I was actually really amazed he was able to withstand a day without meat & didn't collapse altogether !!!
Day 1 was most unbearable - I was so weak till I felt light-headed. My stomach was growling incessantly due to the zero-carb intake the entire day!
All I wanted to do was lie down...but apparently the BEST time to burn fats is when I'm at my weakest -.-"
So off to the city we went for a lonnnnggg walk ! Went to bed at 9-30pm like an old lady.
Day 2 was a lil' better - I re-introduced carbs into my diet (only for bfast) ie.a quarter bowl of oats & half a slice of toast.
Was able to function normally...until the clock striked 9! Realized that I'm an early Cinderella.
Day 3 hurry up already...Can't wait to get this over & done with! My stomach needs its some proper gratification.
Realized I'm never (ok, never say never but...NEVER) going to become a vegan.
EVER.
*Goes to bed dreaming of foie gras, escargot & seafood bisque.......*
drools happily :D

*In denial no more..*
I was still in a bliss of unawareness (or at least pretending to be) that I would officially be completing my studies in a week.
Until this came for me...
*ITS MY GRADUATION PARTY!!!*
My flight back to KL was initially booked on Nov 24th.
BUT I've decided to stay on for my Grad Ball !
Despite having to pay a ridiculous fee of AUD200 & having only 4days left till my Grd8 vocal exams,
It is afterall a once in a lifetime event which I think I would regret missing.
SO having said that...
What's next for this fresh graduate.?
A 6MONTH BREAK :D
At least, that's my current plan & what I've deduced from the many MANY advices I've received!
Guess its time for me to throw myself into activities I love/been wanting to do but have yet the chance to:
1. Finish recording
2. Complete a Japanese course
3. Learn to dance Latin
4. Read all unfinished classics (Yes, I plan to get reacquainted with my bookworm self!)
5. Give the entertainment industry a shot
*A whole world of possibilities and opportunities await :)
"Only as high as I reach can I grow
Only as far as I seek can I go
Only as deep as I look can I see
Only as much as I dream can I be"

*Tulip Festival*
Being the last-minutes that we are,
we paid the festival a visit on its final weekend !
And since I'm a hugeee fan of flora&fauna...It was the perfect way to spend a Sunday :)
*My weekend indulgence*
*Warm weather & clear skies..*
*Clear enough for a helicopter ride!*
*The colourful array of tulips in all its splendour*
*A very happy us* :D
*Black & White*
*Candid*
*Blood orange...*
*to faded yellow*
*Amidst the sunshine-coloured beauties*
*Prettiness*
*Sniff sniffing the pinks which were my favs!*
*The wishing well*
(Doesn't it look just like a scene from a fairytale? ;)
*Lookie ~my top matches the flowers!*
*How wonderful would it be if the world was always this colourful*
p/s.
2 more weekends to go before its SWOT VAC
(ie. study break = exams!)
And then I GRADUATE!!! *gasp*
I can't believe my studying years are coming to an end already,
I'm savouring every last bit of youthful mindlessness before its time for real life decisions

*LIFE SUPPORT*
Of late, my dad has been flooding my inbox with email after email.
The emails he sends are mostly health related ->
CURES OF CANCER. COLD SHOWER CURES. WHY VEGETARIAN...and even DON'T TAKE SHIT FOR GRANTED
(no kidding! Its a description of bowel movements and what they indicate about your diet o.O)
But he thankfully throws in a lil' humour or two on occasion..!
So here's a lil' something he sent that I'm sharing to brighten your day :
Last night my wife and I were sitting in the living room talking about the many things of life. In-between, we talked about the idea of living or dying.
I said to her, ' honey, never let me live in a vegetative state, totally dependent on machines and liquids from a bottle. If you see me in that state I want you to disconnect all the contraptions that are keeping me alive, I'd much rather die'.
Then my wife got up from the sofa with this real look of admiration...
And proceeded to disconnect the TV, the Cable, the Dish, the DVD, the Computer, the Cell Phone, the IPod, and the Xbox, and then went to the fridge and threw away all my beer!!!
I almost died!
LOL.

*Freaky/Flattering?*
The most random thing happened to me on a Thursday evening.
I was walking with Emilia & XueMin heading for dinner when we passed by this pub.
There was an Indian dude standing outside as if he was waiting for someone...
He was decently dressed, clean shaven; no one would give a suspicious second glance.
Just as I was walking by
" Can I have your autograph ? "
I was momentarily stunned & thought I had misheard!
I honestly didn't know what to make of it and my initial instinct was to continue walking.
Finally I turned around to give him a quizzical look just in case it was a friend playing a practical joke on me.
(Though I didn't think him familiar in any way whatsoever, it wouldn't hurt to double check just in case)
I confirmed my suspicions that he was but a stranger.
Unflinching & looking at me straight in the eye...as if he had asked the most practical question in the world !!!
I was mostly in shocked (and admittedly a teeny bit flattered).
Not knowing how else to respond, we walked on pretending the whole incident didn't occur...
I know that was very uncourteous of me,
but my years of growing up in KL has molded me to regard strange men with suspicion
(and this precaution has paid of 99% of the time !)
The few times I decided to be more responsive was met with unfavourable consequences where I was then stalked/pestered >.<
But looking back now, this is Melbourne afterall..
Should I have practiced its culture of openness/friendliness, abiding by the 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do' rule?
Or are strange men still strange men wherever you go ??
How would you have responded ?
