Kool-Aid

Finally back home from a seemingly long trip in Adelaide. Felt like I’d been there for weeks. Talk about exaggeration. 

Two great things happened once I got home. For one, my Roscoe boots finally came in and they’re absolutely stunning to say the very least. Second, was the reveal of my cousin Robyn’s gorgeous new baby girl, Isla.

On top of that, I also met the sweetest elderly couple on board on my flight back from Adelaide. They’re names are Glen and Coleen Williams. They live in Adelaide, and come by Singapore once every 10 years. This time, they’ll be staying in Singapore for 4 nights after which, heading on a cruise across Asia. The reason for their trip was because Glen recently fought off cancer. For good. Was pretty amazing because I know cancer’s a shameless bitch and some of my relatives died because of it. Was nice to hear a success story.

I’ve also completed my itinerary for Phuket. Very excited for elephant trekking and Phi Phi Islands. Seems like beach holidays are my thing. I hate it when people refer to me as an island girl, but I’m coming to terms with it. Don’t think I could see myself any other way, on any other holidays. I mean, I love the city. I enjoy mountainous regions. I enjoy coffee by the eiffel. That sort of thing. But I find I’ve always been drawn to images of places with beach front villas and run down hut-like bars. Even the ocean. Which is ironic because I’m actually pretty fucking scared of the ocean. Just the thought of being stranded in that endless blue is enough to send my imagination off in a frenzy. One set back for the trip though (which I just found out) is that its the rainy season. I have no fucking idea how I managed to think that it would probably be sunny as fuck in July, but basically, I think I’m screwed. Nevertheless, I’m still putting a big thumbs up for elephant trekking and Phi Phi. 

Gotta make some good ass lemonade with these damn lemons I’ve been handed.

Anyway, this has gone on long enough. Retiring to the bed now. Much needed sleep. X

Things to look forward to for now

  • BabyK’s birthday villa on Sunday
  • Bangkok weekend
  • Day in Sydney with David
  • Amsterdam
  • Phuket in July

I wish there was a way to fast forward your life to the good parts. 

On another note, Adelaide has been shit. Absolutely can’t wait for my weekend back home. Been rotting around my hotel room for way too long. I know 2 days isn’t really considered long. But it’s tough work being such a slug.

Definitely need to get in some gym time on friday. All this junk food is making me nauseous. You’d think a girl like me would be able to eat normal meals, at normal hours, like a normal person. Turns out I’m not normal and I live on a diet of chips and mini muffins. OH not forgetting meat pies. 

 

 

 

FUCK I’ve got to get a life. 

Anyway, Not really sure what the point of this post was but I’ve got nothing better to do than to stare at the computer right now so I’ll continue. There hasn’t been much going on with me as of late. This is probably the first ‘long’ post I’ve typed in a while… mainly because, well… like I previously mentioned, not a lot’s been going on to blog about. Most of the time I’ve been sleeping at home, or watching romantic comedies when I’m feeling brain dead from a day of nothingness and snacking way too much. The most exciting thing that happened to me last week was going for the live show of final one to see Dean crush it on stage. Felt good to know one of my best friends was on tv.

I’ve also been trying to get into yoga, which has been easy. Going for the class hasn’t though because its so fucking early in the morning. I would go for the afternoon class, but I like Dr Ram. He’s probably the best instructor at Cali. Definitely worth waking up at 8 in the morning for but my room is always freezing, and I hate having to get out of the blanket to switch off the air con to start my day. Which is why I pretty much end up hibernating like 24/7. 

Uni has been on my mind a lot too. Planning to apply sometime in November. Just gonna let the chips fall where they may. Hopefully all ends well so keep your fingers crossed. 

Ok thats all I have to say. I expect most of Singapore’s getting smashed by the brillance of Wednesday’s famous Ladies Night so, happy drinking! 

Goodnight.

Liberty, oh Liberty. 
Come dance with me.

Sweep me off my feet.

Sometimes when I miss you, I just think about how you’ll never change. And being with you would constantly leave me wanting more. 

Yet, somehow, I get this feeling that if you were here, I wouldn’t need anything or anyone else. I’d somehow, be complete.

Is that crazy?

Feelgood.

Your leaves are turning brown.
“Your trees are brooding ground.
You’re tired of where you are.
Don’t know which way to fall.
You’ll end up getting high.
You’ll end up floating by.

Cos’ there’s more ways
There’s more ways
There’s more ways
To be like you are.”

I’m gonna be fine :)

All ready for my date tonight >.<

Loving colour splash tattoos.

This tattoo in my own handwriting was inspired by Wilco’s lyrics “Whenever I hear your heart talking, it’s a song” from the song “Pick Up The Change” off their album “A.M.” It reminds me of that comforting, peaceful thrum in your heart whenever you are around someone whose soul speaks to your soul, and inspires me to keep searching for that.

Been in Dubai for almost a week now. I think what I’ll miss most is the weather. That perfect mix of hot and cold that doesn’t make you sweat your face off. Oh, and not forgetting, all that time spent baking by the pool. Especially at Oceana. It’s been such a relaxing trip, something I really needed. Helps keep things in perspective you know?

Anyways, leaving back for the motherland later today. Looking forward to cny! Not so much everything else.
