AWKWARD OCCASION

It happens to be like I'm wrapping myself in the blanket for no reason. It is stifling hot when it comes to Chinese New Year period. Above all, it is also nice to have cloudless skies. Imaginary got me golden sunlight. Or shiny splendid gold shimmering to arise your drowsiness. Or a sheet of yellowish filter.

So it was always abrupt for us to gather for a shoot. Seeing the ever same skies every day in the past week hoping that 'tomorrow' will be the same.

None of the above imaginaries ever appeared. NONE.

Hence an awkward occasion.

32 HOURS IN HATYAI, THAILAND

I thought I couldn't get enough of traveling ever since I was back from Taiwan and Singapore. And I thought I was ready to risk everything in term of monetary. Traveling to three places in 3 months sounds a tad insane to a student like me especially at the time I was struggled to get my final year assignments done. Again I thought the desire to travel was unbridled-ly contagious thus I was so lucky to have a bunch of friends who are impetuous like me at the meanwhile. For the sake of budgeting our pocket, north up to Hatyai would be great!

1. Chokdee Dimsum & Bah Kut Teh

I've never thought the combination of dimsum and Bah Kut Teh would be so natural like they are meant to be with each other. Seeing the crowd is already overwhelming.

2. Pork Shashlik

In Thailand, I'm surprised by their standardisation of their quality. Be it the stalls at roadsides, or in hypermarket, their pork shashlik is very nice to taste.


3. Tesco Lotus & Night Market

Photoshooting in front of Tesco Lotus. Just me. Spent a good time at Tesco Lotus, night market and getting a good massage.

4. Township

Walking around the Hatyai town and eat out.

5. Around Floating Market

CAMOUFLAGED ANAMOLY

More often than not I tend to confine myself with a set of rules and regulations, which is imperceptibly drawn up by myself. I'd say it's rather rational. As such, I play on the safe side.

During a casual shopping with a friend at HE by Mango and upon payment, my fingers unknowingly lingered on the mini grid display box that has several watch straps sat in. Quickly I rattled off "I think it doesn't fit" and looking at the Daniel Wellington watch that rested around my wrist.

Of course, somehow I 'unconsciously' replace it offhand.

It was never for me to think of other replacement like this except setting a stick-in-the-mud mindset that limits my choices.

Perfect match!

LAST WEEK OF 2014

Good things come in pairs, or more. I spent the final week of 2014 with abundant(crazy) activities. Having my final assignments submitted, Christmas, the joyful 2015 New Year and a mini trip to North(you'd get to be noticed if you're following my Instagram).

As 2015 comes, be it formulary or wholeheartedly listing new year resolutions; I've come out 1 or 2 as impetus to remind myself for achieving what I've always wanted yet I unintentionally put them on ice. In the nearest future, you'd be expected to see more blog posts like this. Ouch! Why did I not mention that I've recently bought a new mirrorless camera(Fujifilm XE1) to replace my hefty DSLR?


1. Bricklin Bar Cafe

Taking a good sip after befuddled workload and finally have graduated from my Degree is definitely one of the things that gives me utter orgasm.



2. Bibis Bakery Cafe

Always my favourite place to get a cup of Americano/Long Black.



3. Christmas & New Year Decorations at Queensbay Mall, Penang.

4. Snapshots of streets at GeorgeTown, Penang.

Been living in Penang island for 5 years yet never explored the ever renowned streets that full of wall arts and heritage buildings by walking like this. I am here ready to embrace the cultures of uniquely GeorgeTown Penang now!



5. The Alley Cafe

Splashing Affogato.



6. New Year countdown
