In depth, finite

Driving around this big suburbia is not any better as walking around a cosmopolitan city with stunning souls. Do I do the move and risk it or stay in the comfort where it is not even comforting at all. Avicii's Be Free is too ideal right now.

"Good Feeling, won't you stay with me just a little longer. It always seems like your leaving, when I need you here just a little longer." These poetic words that jives along the harmonic clangs. Good feeling, when you are with me, I think you are but a dream and so when you leave me behind I get scared that you were just a fantasy.

Fort of July

There's this fortress-looking mansion, tucked in the valleys of Adelaide Hills, particularly in Stirling. I pulled on the side of the road just to take a photo of the Star Spangled Banner. Happy America Day! 

Some memories of Summer

Shin Knee

THIS world-class Megalopolis has left me drooling and daydreaming about the 'this-young-but-old' appeal. Shin knee-- that's how most of its people say the place they're from. You have an idea what I am talking about.

In Adelaide Airport, I yelled "Yes!" inside me when I saw that our flight bound to Sydney was delayed. For the first time ever, I've bought a ticket with insurance, for delayed or cancelled flights-- then I checked again, it was only a 10-minute delay and now I'm not sure if it's worth the lodging for.

Onkaparinga River Park

Or, I'd like to call it Four Seasons Farm. It's a pretty cool park, especially that it's located just off the road and this serves like a green patch for the growing community. Stunning views, with native species cultivate in the area! So exciting!

 “The perfect life, the perfect lie, I realised after Christmas, is one which prevents you from doing that which you would ideally have done (painted, say, or written unpublishable poetry) but which, in fact, you have no wish to do. People need to feel that they have been thwarted by circumstances from pursuing the life which, had they led it, they would not have wanted; whereas the life they really want is precisely a compound of all those thwarting circumstances.”-- Geoff Dyer

Live sometimes always.

Wannabe photographer, wannabe painter

When photography was monochrome, colour simply added life to it. So, they literally did. I like this so called thing, hand-tinting, because it incorporates my love for photography and painting. Also because I'm not the best of both at it, so I'm on the fence with this one again.

Throughout visit to friends' or some old person's home, I never fail to see numerous of photos that are hand-tinted. It looks amazing, also that they had super flawless skin and the coolest clothes. The effect that it brings makes them look like very timeless (at least for me). I always knew I wanted to try it myself. Especially those photos that has complex background; painstakingly painting the details of the bush flower, for example.

So my natural hipster comes in. I just can't afford to afford expensive, or brand new clothing (unless they're on sale). You can always find something unique, and wearable. You just have to try to be the average size.

Dora, where are we going?

I've been told I am a 'Jack of All Trades', well I think that isn't a compliment anymore-- it has turned to a insulting curse. It means I am capable of everything, but only to a certain degree. I can never be good at anything. On the sunny side up of the egg, at least I can do something. It's hard not to know what you want to do, and it's worse if you know what but you have too many options. I don't want to go to Uni. I think it's a waste of time, we've been in school trying to learn things in some other people's standards. I've been pondering if it was worth it. Well, at least in high school it taught me Chemistry, which is applicable in-- cooking! I'll come back for you Uni in case I've got nowhere else to go! For now, I'll be an alchemist.

Australian Summer

The holidays in Australia is about sun and fun. Meanwhile it's all about cute knitted jumpers (sweaters) and scarves on the other side of the pole; it's about thongs (flip flops), the bay and threats of bush-fires in our area. I had a wonderful time spending these days getting days off my tacky job and being with special people.

One weekend, I spent the night with school friends which turned to a skate night. Few hours from then, I freshened myself up with nothing but a borrowed shirt with a tie; going for a wedding coverage in my work pants, work shoes and a dampened hair. Yes, I wore my work pants and work shoes while skating the previous night. Back-up photographer, no pressure at all.

Beaumont House

Beaumont House, occasionally known as Claremont, is an eclectic Romanesque-Classical brick residence located at 631 Glynburn Road in Beaumont, South Australia. Beaumont House was constructed for Augustus Short, the first Anglican bishop of Adelaide and founder of St Peter's Cathedral.

Push Pin Boutique

I am not the best person to talk about vintage fashion, but I do know something. I have a sense of style, too! While I was living in the south-western district of Adelaide and walking up to the city, I'd normally pass through the Central Markets, and this is where I set my eyes to this little rustic beauty.

Landananda (Straya)

G'day mate! No one really say that, contrary to stereotype. Well, I wake up almost every morning disoriented. It's been over 12 weeks and up until now, it still doesn't sync that I am somewhere else. I have moved three times in such short time: packing, unpacking, organising then later start packing them again. Things happen for a reason, and in one day it did happen all at once: lost a space in the city, checked out a car-- the following day, totally left the city and drove back to the hills with a fancy-featured car I bought with my savings. That day, it felt like the universe granted what I wanted. They made things bad, but it was still in favour with me.

Extra Terrestrials

I believe in aliens— ancient astronauts. I am listening to Mika's song Any Other World while I put this up. I like the words in it as it dances with the beautiful melody it has. I like the fact that eighties is similar with the acronymy of Extra Terrestrials. I love this planet, and I think we should explore and contribute like our antediluvian ancestors did, if they ever existed. "Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in."
