I've been thinking of what to say after my recent trip, but all I can think of is, I'm so happy to be olderrr and just be alive! It's bizarre! Like, I am really ecstatic at being where I am now 😜 I just came back from a week in Bali with the first few nights alone, and was then later joined by some friends and family. Yes, I love my alone time - no, I ADORE MY ALONE TIME. Partly because when I asked everyone to do Batik painting class and cooking class with me, either none of them wanted to or don't want to spend money on it or some shit like that so I was like - fck it, I'm going to do everything I want. So I did. Doing everything I wanted. Like I'm always privileged to! 😀 Me with zero pants. I did what many any young woman would do when traveling. Eat, sleep, swim repeat. When I was in Ubud, I swam nekkid underneath the stars, cold, but the sound of fluttering leaves and bugs honestly were music so it calmed me. I could even hear prayers - it w...

Has this been one year ago?  Oh don't remind me how terrible I am keeping up with the time. Oh wait, it's me reminding myself. Since Denise was getting married that weekend , it was only right that her sister and her best friends sort out a hens night for her. Candice (sister) did most of the planning, and buying - we came only a day before the party so we could only help doing the things on that evening itself. Like. Making a penis like dessert, chocolate covered banana and marshmellow. GENIUS. Turns out, it was really delicious toooooo. Just, like all things long, avoid eye contact when eating. These things were so good, we couldn't help but eating them halfway through while making them. Look at our sprinkles covered bananas!!!!! The place was an extension of a private area comes with kitchen and outdoor area too. The long table was sorted for us, so we basically just took some time to prepare dining setups. ^More penises shape like straw...

Hi folks, I'd rather spend my time trash write in this space then scrolling on FB/Insta cause I'm a blog fan like that. It is also a make-believe that I'm actually doing something I love as a past time which is writing. I also treat this place as my photo album, caption and stories and stuff. Except my English these days. Terribly influenced by social media and I listen too much to rap and rnb (I blame Drake)..... Is it just me or has it been January, February la la la la ------- AUGUST!! F. Where did the rest of the months go? 💨 But first an aged, filter-less, update selfie of me I tried this hobby lobby challenge but got super shy went people started walking around hahaha THIS YEAR, I SAID NO TO MANY THINGS!  Wohoo, a huge achievement for an opportunist like me. You know doing out of the ordinary by NOT TAKING OPPORTUNITIES. For the first 6 months of the year, I have slept 👉A LOT MORE, and 👉 read a few lines from books more GOD forbid I picked up t...

I see myself as an energetic and vibrant person. A blanket word for all things the two words may carry. To be able to do many things at one time, always keeping a positive attitude for the most part and being able to find resolutions on difficult issues. This year, I found myself having shifting energies within me and I'm writing it down. I wasn’t sure it was even possible without me acknowledging them, what it entails?? or where it came from but it IS happening. I am no longer hasty. I find this as the biggest shift in me. These days I see opportunities as wrapped candies in a chocolate box. I had to pick the ones I really wanted, instead of wanting the entire box. I no longer find myself taking every single opportunity I see. It was really the case for me in my mid 20s. Now some people might see this as “lost opportunities”, but there are far more important things I value right now – which I will tell you more. Earlier this year contrary to probably everyo...

Mid year last year I decided to build a house by myself for myself. This will be a practical post of how I have the funds, the land, the time and the many support to actually make this happen. The land Let's start with where? Bought by mum about 50 meters away from our family home, throughout the years mum have successfully maintained any payments in regards to this land which include but not limited to quit rent, assessment and etc. For the past 20 years the land was a bush-field at one time a forest, with tall and big trees including these REALLY TALL acacia trees that became really haunting at one point. There were a few times mum had to clear the land and this involved lots of money. Clearly maintenance wasn't easy. We put a blind eye on the "forest" every time we drive back home. Just before my brother's wedding, we decided *or at least I* that was finally going to do something about it. Where did I get the bulk of the money, we sold a seco...

Awkward, tomboy, too intellectual, private, tough.  When I was a little girl, I remember having to state my case to my mum on wanting to let my hair grow long. It has always been a short bob, mum thought it was more tidy that way. But by 11 years old I grew absolutely bored of it, and simply thought I could do more things with longer hair. Braids, buns, ponytail, style, plenty!  Dad said yes without second thoughts, mum swore by how difficult and uncomfortable it would be for me; having the need to do hair my up every single morning, or brushing it neat every day. And she was right, there were many days when school asked me to tie my hair up in braids, only to find no one to help me at 5am in the morning! Luckily, my aunt nally was an angel in the form of a braids' specialist lol 😋 But that would mean, I needed to walk to her house in the dark and waited to be braid by her very early in the morning. And then, I look in the mirror, twirl my braids and absolutely loved...

Update: Please listen to this song while you're going through hehe, I'm sure it's a lot more fun!  Trust me! *** I've decided to compile some of the things that are close to my heart and the big things that happened to me in 2013 in pictures.
