Gloomy and dark, cos someone in my family sure knows the way to ruining my day.

I promise cheerier photos tomorrow, those that were originally planned for today.

The guys behind kwerkee got in touch with me, hoping to spread the word about their new site. What’s cool about kwerkee is the stuff they sell, and you probably guessed it right, it’s quirky stuff! Fun and quirky design and lifestyle products. It works just like their sister site Reebonz does, or like Gilt if you frequent there. There are new sales added every day and each sale lasts for a couple of days. I previously saw a sale going on for Jambox and that’s when I knew kwerkee is pretty cool. My boyfriend, Ben, has been talking about Jambox for months now… he finally bought it when we were in New York and he’s been Jambox-ing everyday since.

Anyway, kwerkee was very generous to send me a Sprocket Rocket (!!!) in their incredibly cheery packaging!

Nothing like a shot of lime green to brighten up my day, I tell ya… I’m keeping the box even though I clearly have no space in the house! So Treat Yo Self to something nice. Sign up for a free membership here or use one of my invites. Go check out the sales for Pop Chart Lab and Greengate, those two are my favourite ones going on right now. Free shipping in Singapore and Malaysia!

Thanks kwerkee ;)

We camped for four nights and the first night was literally hell for me — Didn’t get to shower, surprise surprise Porta-potties don’t come with a flush and I was shivering like a wet dog inside my sleeping bag. The rest of the nights got easier, and number of layers I put on got heavier, showering time cut shorter… That’s a photo of our cars and us drying our towels on the windows! But it was impressive what people can do with the same space we had, people had grills, hot water going, DECOR?!, we even saw someone with white picket fences!?!? Only lots more to learn man.

But roughing it out was so worth it cos in the morning, you get out of the tent and you praise the sunshine, rub your eyes and bam, you are greeted by the most beautiful sight ever. Mountains… I don’t know if they’re considered mountains there but coming from Singapore, everything big is a mountain to me. I kept saying “omg, it’s postcard perfect”. Even if I didn’t say it out loud to my friends, I said it in my head.

The festival itself was out of this world. I’ve never been to anything so massive before. There were times when I wanted to go die from the cold and there were times when I wished I was 6’10 but I take all that back now, I’m so glad I was there to see all these bands and eat weird takes on asian food with sriracha :)

By the way, I don’t know if you’ve seen the 2013 hologram lineup, HILARIOUS!

I had such a wonderful trip guys! So much to share :D

I dropped off my rolls of film at the shop earlier today, so while that’s getting developed, here are some photos I took on my iPhone that didn’t make it onto Instagram.

The details are on Flickr, so do click on the photos for that. I’m crossing my fingers that my film photos turn out alright since my camera malfunctioned twice.

Now I’m off to do some serious catching-up on my Google Reader!

Remember these photos I took? Well I was shooting with two cameras so here’s a moodier version, using Lomography’s redscale film.

I was in the East on one of those rare occasions so I thought to check out Bedok Reservoir. This place was all over the news last year cos many people committed suicide here, in close intervals. It’s such a nice and serene place! With tonnes of people doing healthy activities… Which made me feel really dumb walking in my skinny jeans. The funniest thing is I studied in a school right beside this reservoir and park for three years but never ventured there!

The time has come! SG >> LAX >> JFK >> SG, I’ll be gone for twenty days!

Shoooot, as I typed that, I’m missing my cats and my own bed already :{ So lame.

Apart from saying sayonara, I wanted to say I sat my ass down and scheduled a few posts!! I didn’t want to get backlogged with some relatively-new-but-would-be-old photos when I get back… Plus all the excitement to share new photos… You geddit!

I decided to update our family portrait late last year but only drew it up and finished it sometime last week.

See the older family portraits I drew in 2010 and in 2007.
