Paint Me

What is meaning? Why can I not finish my Extension English creative? What is life?

Why are there so many burning questions?

These are the words which chase me, as, please be warned before you proceed- 

that the below photos convey a sense of vagueness and total, like, what-the-hell-ness which is actually mildly therapeutic. 

P.S. Also because monochrome and multi-purpose orange helix accessories are, like, so cool.*

* Alright, over my daily quota x2 for sounding like a complete bimbo, but like, whatever.**

** And that makes it three times.

Seed Sandals, Alannah Hill 'I'll Call You!!' Top

It seems to be becoming a poor habit on my behalf of making blog posts into the wee morning hours of mondays.... 

Anyhoo, that aside, there are much more interesting things to mull over, such as my two newly acquired friends. Meet sandals, and meet top. Really unexpected purchases, and what a way to brighten things up too. 

The top is really the most exquisite thing, as in squeal-worthy, and gazing lovingly at type exquisite. That should convey to you my excitement, considering I just exposed (only part of) my weird connection with aesthetic things (oh the horror! I feel so naked!)

Promise there's an outfit post avec la on the way too.

I profess that I am feeling profound, cloaked by the night.

A temple of the self.

Singapore Photo Diary

Enjoying the atmosphere at CUT Steakhouse, Marina Bay Sands. Expensive, but definitely worth it, everything was wolfed up before I could take a photo! Mum enjoyed her Japanese wagyu filet mignon while I had the American wagyu filet mignon, my dad and brother were adventurous enough to go for the 900g Australian wagyu. What a whopper! Plus some perfectly crispy herbed french fries. Finger-licking good. For a comprehensive review, head to Singapore's best food blog

 Singpore's iconic chilli crab on our first night at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant on the Riverwalk; forgot about my low tolerance for spicy food and proceeded to set my mouth on fire. again. and again. and again. Irresistible.

I was so excited to attend the grand opening of Laduree at Takashimaya!! Absolute diehard fan..... and tried one of the unbelievably sumptuous gold-leaf covered chocolate macarons. Is this love?? I think so. 

 

Feeling ready for a garden party and a graceful frolic in this Red Valentino dress. 

 A wonderful experience, not too far from home. Singapore is astonishingly clean (maybe we should ban chewing gum too...?) and what struck me even more, was what a good mood all the locals that we encountered were in! In fact, I think I learnt more from the conversations we had with the taxi drivers than I would've otherwise. I think the only way to know a place truly is through its inhabitants and their experiences. And I'm a total sucker for listening to other people's stories. 

Overdue

So. excited. Tomorrow night this time, I shall be 6 hours away, in a country that begins with Singa- and ends with -pore. Mmm, might take you a while to figure that one out....

This post is, indeed, as the title suggests, overdue; namely because all these photos were taken 2 weeks ago, during the Easter long weekend. It was the last day of Anish Kapoor's exhbition at the Museum of Contemporary Art (mca) and so it was high time we sallied forth, taking our chances with the delights of Cityrail (better known as Shittyrail). 

We had a delectable time at The Baker's Oven once we arrived at The Rocks. However, I will say no matter how many different places I've tried scrambled eggs at, I just cannot understand how white people enjoy them so bland- this is where we can be grateful to our yellow counterparts for opening the door to well-seasoned scrambled eggs. 

These few photos are from the mca's permanent collection, which is so diverse and curious. The shells on the slippers were all collected around the Botany Bay area and beautifully crafted in the local Indigenous tribe that still resides there. 

Special mentions must be made here where, after much shuffling about, I successfully removed my legs and mutated my facial features. Score.

Kapoor's exhibition was really interactive i.e. perfect for the iPhone wieldy generation; everyone was whipping them out to play around with the mirrors. The boundlessness of modern art is pretty cool.

 And by the way, a FACT THAT MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE: if you lie on your back and lift your legs slowly, you cannot be drowned by quicksand. 

That is all.
