Paris, j'arrive!

Wow, I feel like the worst sloth in the world..It's been too long since I last posted :(

feeling really bad...

My excuse: it's the holidays..I tend to do nothing but watch lotsa tv

(more like tv shows on the computer..)

It's about 2 days to my flight to Paris.

Yay!!

My mum, aunt, aunt's friend, and me will be going on a 7-day tour after being in Paris for 2 days

We'll be going to Italy - Rome, Venice, Milan, Florence...; Switzerland - Basel..; Monaco - Monte Carlo; and also other places in France like Cannes (!!!!), Nice (!!)

Aaahh this would be my first time in Europe and first time ever going on tour while I'm there :)

Oh, I will be visiting Disneyland too! should be awesome

I will tell you much more about it after I've come back from Paris, def ;)

On another note, I've come across more beautiful websites =)

Enjoy these:

small hint

here's a video i found (with the help of a friend) on youtube :)

it's too damn amazing, coincidentally it's my all-time favorite 80s song..it's the best!

it just brightened my day (night, actually..) and mood :)

a small hint that tomorrow will be a better day.

can't wait.

peace + love,

Into the Woods. . .

Finally! I've taken the time I have to put just a few of my forest trip photos here :)

With my trusty Sony Cybershot (DSC T-2) baby.. and yes, no dslr (or slr, for that matter) yet..

Oh, well, patience is virtue :) and also maybe if I worked then I could save up for one.

The lake where me and the boys saw a huge-ass Arapaima!

This was what we saw (inside the forest,somewhere..) when we looked up.

I just love the shapes and the spaces in between.

Ah, nature.

(This was an awesomely poor attempt to capture it, my apologies)

On the right is a Bamboo plant which is really, really big (although it isn't portrayed as such here, sorry)

This 'trip' was definitely memorable-worthy. We got lost after walking for about 3 hours.. and luckily (Thank God) there was a fence ( yup, apparently we walked across the whole forest) and Joachim managed to break it (it's not really legal..) and I was just happy we were saved!

We ended up at the end of the forest and actually had to take a cab back to the starting point because it was just too far! And maybe also because we were drained from all the walking. And leeches! Aaaaagghh!

But all in all it was great fun with great company :) Awesome!

love n peace

Love is a Verb

I just came across a cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop :)

It's by Incubus (!) and you can get it here, you're welcome ;)

And this is all thanks to my lovely cousin Maya (Raksha) =)

short post today, sorry again, though i will inform you that I went to a forest reserve recently,

BUT-quite lazy to post up some photos so maybe another time..(tomorrow maybe?)

had a lot of fun but I will say more when there are photos :)

in the mean time, hope you enjoyed Teardrop and its cover =)

sorry about the smileys!

love n peace

A New Day

Hello Tuesday!

News Flash: I have just decided to take up photography! It's so exciting, although I don't have my own DSLR yet..BUT - I'm so lucky because my good friend Arvind (Thampy) had his old SLR lying around (it's a film SLR btw - even more exciting! - Canon EOS 300v), so I'm loaning it from him for now (shameless..)

Arv's is in black though - cooler :)

and hopefully I will get it up and running by Wednesday because I will be too busy today, with all the graduation recitals going on..(about 6 of them!)

oh gosh I'm so excited..but I am really strapped for cash right now..it sucks so badly! ughh

Also, I haven't really learnt or read up on photography (e.g. the basics) just relying on pointers by my two favourite boys :) but don't worry I will kick my own ass to start reading up...soon..

.Joachim.

.Arvind.

(No, I did not take these photos.. haha..please check them out tho)

Peace n Love,
