come... and burn your heart away

come... and burn your heart away
Originally uploaded by insee

reflecting on the past 7 days, i've realised that life does change. mine has been fluctuating like my bank balance. riding on a full tank of happiness and high on sun, sea and smiles.

i've discovered that there is such a thing as 'lightning wax' by diana king. developed my first lomo roll. i've tasted presshafruit juice from a triangular bottle. i've found the perfect foundation, crème and powder. finally got the perfect blush tint. i'm progressing en française. i've been on 2 budget airlines and i've been driven 1.5 hours on a motorbike/scooter to the airport. seen some beautiful seascapes. drunk chilled coconut on a burning hot day. not to mention i've had yummy food. sour sour mangoes with chilli. and i've been somewhere where the sleaze meter is so high that it made me feel safe.

all that's left to do now? go up in smoke.

au revoir,
amelie

Dangerous

"Hold on tight. You know she's a little big dangerous..."

"That girl is so dangerous, (That girl is so Dangerous) she's so dangerous, that girl is a bad girl..."

Je suis dangereux. L'aimer!

Au revoir,

Amelie

Psychobabble

this is an amazingly beautiful and absolutely euphoric video.

I heard let go at first. Liked it, but wasn't overwhelmed. But this video intrigued me and i fell for her music instantaneously. Other songs i like are Psychobabble (eerie, almost supernatural)and Hear me out.

I've come across many instances this week which would deserve a blog post. Someones distasteful combination of black stockings under a translucent white dress with white shoes, or perhaps the unfortunate encounter with sleepyhead on the bus. I could throw in the fashion copycat i see on the bus too. Nonetheless, by the time i reach home, their blog-worthiness vanishes and have to look out for new material, which eliminates the whole idea of writing. (i know, i can be lazy)

Frou frou, on the other hand, is too pretty to slip by. Her videos are gorgeous. And in my new found frou-euphoria, i sound like a dimwitted fan. But once this blows over, i should be able to judge her music on a more substantial level.

Anyhoos, I'm off for a stroll in town, or a cycle in the park.
Ta!!

princess amelie's weekend

Time flies when you're having fun.
Unfortunately that's too true.

"You're such a fugitive... but you don't know what you're running from!"
We're running from life. At least at this part of the world. You live life in weeks, not days. Each week being an eternity.

But it's the weekend. The eternity has been worth waiting for. It's like your two days of heaven for the week. All the complain gene's have disappeared. :P

Friday was spent watching models strut some awesome 'designer' wear. Unfortunately the company that we girls kept at the show weren't too keen on the clothes... go figure. The show was brilliant, the colours, the lights, the music and the concept had everything going on. I have a bone to pick with the models though. Half of them really did not know how to walk. They were slanting backwards, (probably trying to maximise their minimal endowments), but that looked totally yuppie like and stole the look from the clothes. I'm sure there are a million local models who would have done a better job... sadly in this place, imported is always better.

After this amazing show we were trying to be all glitzy and glamorous so we went down to Clarke quay so that we could eat. Unfortunately (with the exception of a little fella) our pockets weren't deep enough for these places... so we ended up at bk. Way better than our 'prata' alternative.

Trying to watch a movie after a long work day, 'happening' evening is totally impossible. At such wee hours your brain equals that of a dumb blonde. So no point trying to convince me that this is actually really good shit! maybe another day.

nothing to say and nothing to do.
people at nus seem to sleep a lot :|

heralding the weekend

Mood of the moment: okay
Song that i can't get rid of: let go, frou frou
Movie on my mind: PRICELESS (i want to watch it today... its got audrey tatou!!!)
Newest infatuation: everything
Secretly craving: dunkin donuts
Wish i were... travelling around the world.

The weekends here again, but who would have thought i would be spending it with the kubricks. i cant believe how ill my luck has been. but what can be done about all of it now. I wake up with the noise at 930. Saturdays are for sleeping. ****(insert swear word of your choice) to all those who don't agree.

anyways after battling with my pathetic life last week, i have come to realise that you can never compromise on your self. health and happiness are the most important... the best way to cope with the weekday blues is to jump out and do something fun, preferably something that involves exercise. Running, swimming or whatever else u may like to do. I would rather be jet skiing my energy away, unfortunately, that would include a considerable portion of my earnings as well. so for now, being the chic cheapskate that i am, i swim and (try to) run. And boy is that fun. I don't really hate the weekdays that much anymore.

When i have cooler things to say, ill be writing again, any case visit HUMAN SPACE to take a look at things that seem to make sense.

on a lazy Saturday,
i bid you goodbye!
