washed out

I finally got around scanning my long-awaited developed film. Sadly only 9 photos could be salvaged. The rest were over-exposed. I was quite disappointed 'cos I thought we took some really fun ones in Malacca and none from our trip there were developed. Ugh. I guess I need more time to master this lomo camera business. Here are some of my favorites.

What the hell are you doing?

I just wanted to share a few things that has inspired me these past few weeks. I've (obviously) been hit with writers' (or undefinable person's) block and I just wasn't too confident about posting anything here. Hopefully my creative juices start flooding out again. Soon. Hopefully. 

In the meanwhile, I hope these help you too. Or at least give you that final push to do more.

And that's about it. I've been watching too much and lazing around. Right now, all I want is a full-time job. Then maybe I'd use my time a lot more efficiently.

Life philosophies

Woody Allen can just talk for hours. If I were in his company I would fall asleep right in front of him. Okay so I actually won't. Because I'd be in Woody Allen's company. I'd be bug-eyed and probably a little high (mentally and maybe physically). But damn he talks too much. Maybe it's not the most attractive personality trait to me because I'm a total opposite (I talk too little). But I wouldn't mind, for a while. Kinda like the way he talks, really. Plus, I might learn a few things. 

Just watched this clip from Broadway Danny Rose. Now I just need to watch the whole movie. (thanks to even*cleveland for sharing it -- I'll be forever grateful)

chick-a-brick

So I've been watching a lot of Sex and the City. Basically season one through six. Yup. So now I'm more open to talk about sex than ever. And I feel like I need to choose my wardrobe carefully when I'm going out to the grocer's. It's crazy. I've also been thinking about having three close friends to hang out all the time with. (I've actually found them, just haven't told them about my plans yet.)

That probably explains why I have nothing to write about. My brain cells have definitely been reduced. But I can't stop! I need to finish watching til the last episode of season six to know how the hell Carrie ended up with Big. On the plus side, I get to see some awesome outfits and also ridiculous ones. I've taken to dressing up a bit when I go out (not to the grocer's) to meet friends and for dates. I've just not gone all the way to wearing heels wherever I go. I suffer enough having to wear them for weddings and wedding dinners. I got a preview and I'm not interested. Until I have more interesting heels to wear.

And then there's New York. Though she doesn't get too much camera time in case one of the actresses throw a fit.

I just saw a New York photo album on facebook. Some friends were just there. Damn. I just torture myself willingly. I may be a closet masochist. But I can somehow imagine what it would be when I finally go there myself. I would definitely cry. Or tear a little. Most definitely.

I understand it will take a while before I regain some sort of intelligence after watching SATC (yeah, abbreviated cos it saves time) so I'm looking forward to reading more and watching Kubrick and Coen brothers movies.

Holiday Away

Swan River - taken by me, with my phone (it's so awesome)

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and soon, will have a good New Year's. I was away for Christmas. Went to Perth for my cousin's wedding and stayed for Christmas over there. Sad I couldn't spend it together with the boy. But two trips to the beach and my cousin's wedding pretty much kept me occupied. Damn, the waves are huge and the water is freezing! Amazing. Because most of the time you're baking under the sun, with max's of 34 degrees and then you go for a dip and it's ice cold. Which felt so damn good. Plus, it's a real workout walking on the beach. Yes, just walking on the beach is a task. And then there's the whole ride-the-waves part. It's actually a workout in disguise of a super awesome fun time.

I'll have to post some beach photos soon, definitely next year because I'm too in the mood for doing nothing at the moment.

Anyway I just wanted to do a quick list of stuff I need to get for the New Year.

-CD albums; Foo Fighters' Wasting Light and Adele's 21. (I heard most of Adele's songs on my flight to Perth and they were all so good.)

-a full-time job. (haha, but really though)

And then there are New Year's Resolutions (yes, I just wanna fit in sometimes.)

-lose the goddamn weight. (I have been eating non-stop since I got to Perth, it's crazy.)

-play more piano. Hog that thing.

-write more letters.

-make my house a nicer and cozier place to live in.

That's all I can think of so far.. Oh, and I got back my developed photos so I'll be scanning those soon too.

One more thing, check out The Decemberists' new album The King is Dead. I'm hooked on this song Don't Carry It All.

peace+love

Happy New Year!
