photobooth friday

so i was sitting in the dining room (for a change of speed), working on my korean homework when i realised i had the perfect white wall behind me to fool around with photobooth for a study break. also, i really really want to join in photobooth friday that was started by amanda of here comes the sun two weeks ago. i tried to take some last week but the view of my closet was kind of gross so i decided against uploading those shots.



01. me grinning inanely. my short hair, which has grown quite a bit. no makeup, and in one of my many university teeshirts.

02. my new mustard colour nails! it's from opi and called "the 'it' colour". i couldn't agree more!

03. my korean notes and my homework assignment. gahh.



that was a fun fifteen minutes break! :) back to work, but, oh if you have another fifteen minutes, i am guest-posting on the lovely rhianne's blog today! it's my first guest-post ever!

[cambodia 2010] that ray of sunlight

i like to chase the light. sometimes the picture in my head doesn't look like what i imagine. but sometimes likes these three, they do and i love them.

[cambodia 2010] angkor thom

cambodia travel diary day 2

picking up from where i left off, we made our way from banteay srei to angkor thom. in khmer, angkor thom means great city and literally it really was a great city. it was at least 9 square kilometres in size and contained monuments such as the bayon and ta promh (more to come about these two places.)

we entered angkor thom via the victory gate (last picture). leading up to the victory gate, the bridge was spanned on one side by 25 angels holding a naga (snake) and on the other side by 25 devils also holding a naga in a cosmic tug of war.

thank you greg and katie for the birthday wishes!

23 going on 24.

i just turned 24 an hour ago. it's a rather surreal feeling. in my head, i know that my age equals 24 but in my heart, i feel much younger. in many ways, i don't feel ready to be this age. does anyone else feel like that? my friends surprised me with a dinner on friday, unfortunately i had to work through the dinner because there was a crisis at work. in any case, i am grateful that so many of them came down for dinner with me. i love each and everyone of them so much. they gave me a card and birthday present redemption voucher, apparently my gift is on the way. i am going half-crazy wondering what they got me! another friend got me a camera bag to store my new-old eos 88! yesterday, i had an early birthday lunch with my family. we had good wholesome chinese food. lots of ginseng chicken soup, chicken with ginger and lettuce, prawns and tofu. yums! i was so stuffed! today, i am going to meet my best friends for a cycling date in the park! and then we are going to a favourite cafe of ours for lunch, continue planning our april adventure and generally while the day away. i love birthdays like these.

our april adventure

i just started a little project blog our april adventure. this blog is for me and my friends to chronicle our trip to korea this april! the impetus for this trip came about when one of us four went to korea to further her studies in the korean language. (read more about why we are going here.) we are going to be in korea for 15 days and we plan to hit up cities like seoul, busan and gyeongju. we will be sharing our pre-trip preparations, quick blog posts on the go while in korea, and full recaps of each day when we come back. all of us will be writing posts for the blog, so you may get the same day but written three ways, experienced through three different pair of eyes. we will also be writing up little travel tips that we are constantly discovering as we work out our itinerary, as well as other blogs and websites that have been a great help and inspiration to us.i hope you will be able to join us on this trip :)
