G’day mate! This is my second time blogging from Australia. Ai Rene and i had just sorted out our flights and accommodation to Sydney (we are going this very weekend) and i’m awfully excited – or perhaps way beyond that. Right after blogging we’re gonna check out this uber cool cafe at Paddington suburb, visit the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), and discover Australia’s new world city inside out. Tonight i’ll also be watching a rugby show at Brisbane for the very first time (yummy)! Of course i will share ‘em hot pictures with you but for now, let’s settle with some classic black and white shots i captured with my Canon EOS 600D during my last visit to a random but gorgeous seaside. Till then, lots of love from the happiest girl alive dancing with dolphins and hopping with kangaroos at OZ land.

Even though i’m at OZ rooting for Broncos, that doesn’t mean i totally forget about the Axiata Cup in Malaysia! Though we didn’t make it to the finals, you can still get a piece of action on your mobile and stand a chance to win the brand new Nissan Livina X-Gear by 1st May 2012 among many other cool prizes such as the Samsung Galaxy Note (x 12)!

This entry is a perfect archetype of how a #foreveralone trip would look like in meme reality: 35412 pictures of food, 657592461 pictures of buildings, 985683946786573 cam whoring shots. i hope you don’t mind, as i am living by the #sotrue Marilyn Monroe quote “it’s better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone‘”. To be honest i wasn’t alone alone, (who drives to Penang solo just for the heck of it?) but i guess these pictures might story you how the trip looked like in my eyes nonetheless. You’ll also figure out at the end of this post that it was X’mas then. Or perhaps it was yesterday but they have forgotten to dispatch the X’mas tree after all. A world full of possible impossibilities. Cheers to all the single ladies out there!

It definitely feels like less than a week ago when we left KL city for our hometown… now we’re back on the highway again; getting closer to pffttt – Monday. This year we do it a bit differently as we came back in 2 cars (dad drove mum while brother drove me). There is a big difference when it comes to who the driver is. With my dad, you can expect either total silence with occasional old advises breaking through, or Hokkien music all the way. Most of the time you get both (we don’t have a choice, really). But with my brother, we get to set up some hardcore karaoke session with my awesome feet in the air~! Not to forget, here are a few of my current favorite things to have when traveling on the road:

{Massimo Dutti ‘paper scarf’, Pull & Bear orange tank, Thai fisherman pants (D.I.Y lovers can learn to make ‘em here)}

{handmade gold elephant anklet from Khaosan Road, Bangkok}

{my favorite pair of sunglasses: the RayBan Wayfarer}

{crossed-legs and thick book in between}

& that’s how we roll~!

Taking the picture above felt more of a dare than a challenge. Eri and i were crossing the busy road ala “gan cheong spider” and the local pedestrians were either staring or whistling at us (i can’t decide which is more the monkey – them, or us) but still i couldn’t give this road sign a miss. Thanks to my old time Tassie friend, Zuk who came to the rescue and is ever so kind to take us around the (whole) city. Here’s one last post on how we spent our last day at KK, in pictures.

GAYA STREET MARKET:

MUST-HAVE KK LUNCH: NGIU CHAP

MOST FAMOUS KK CAR: THE “SUPER NINJA KING”

Time to bid farewell to yesterday and greet hello to more holidays!

They say a smile that comes from the heart of a person who is truly happy is the most beautiful. It is accompanied by a glow that lingers around even after the smile has vanished. Both fortunately and unfortunately, i have a few KK posts left to share some happiness transpired from within when i was still in love with the state of being loved. Love comes in many forms of disguise sometimes it is hard to recognize especially when we are fooled by one ilk. However, those who never stopped caring will eventually (in time) make you see a different kind of love that may be more real than the one that made you blind. To my best friend Eri, happy belated birthday and thank you for always without fail, be there to pick up the pieces of my heart that broke a million times, and for listening to my hopeless sonnet on replay. This post of golden sunset is dedicated to you, and to those you who could use some glow.
