Let’s start with pictures from Coachella 2012!
We camped for four nights and the first night was literally hell for me ā 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 š
By the way, I don’t know if you’ve seen the 2013 hologram lineup, HILARIOUS!

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!
