I couldn’t figure a better way to categorize the photos I took in Phuket so I’m gonna post them all in one post.
I got my vespa two weeks back! Been a happy fool scooting around the island!
And eating my way into the East.
And owning a cashcard for the first time, what?!? right?
And getting pulled over at a road block the very day I got my motorbike.
And declaring the Jln Bahar exit on the PIE my bermuda triangle.
Days are fun now!
Please help in any way you can!
So far, I’ve supported the causes initiated by Hilda Grahnat and hello sandwich (who lives in Tokyo!!) and also donated to Singapore Red Cross via ibanking. Just today, they’ve have updated their website with more channels to donate – ibanking via OCBC/DBS/UOB, phone banking, however you prefer to do your banking!
There are a million other ways you can donate and do your bit to help. I ART U is keeping an updated page on artists/designers that are donating their proceeds towards relief efforts. Emi is selling her books and magazines on Facebook to raise funds (for local peeps hey!). Let’s do what we can!
I am off to Phuket for the rest of the week! My brother’s already there and he reported back that it’s crazy hot! So I’m gonna come home a brown cow.
I’m armed with three cameras and am pretty sure that’s a ton of beauty to see and snap of. (Phara, I should be able to finish up the camera once I get back!) In the meantime, I leave you guys with some photos from December and early January.

There was one week in December where I pretty much cooked every meal for lunch and dinner. These were some of the food I made and took photos of. You can go ahead and click on the photos to find out what it is and what recipe I followed.
About the long silence on the blog, it was a combination of being busy being stale being boring being everywhere else but here. But I think all those feelings are disappearing and I’m gonna be posting more frequently from now. Another thing is, I passed my motorcycle traffic police test and got my license about two weeks ago!! Yeahhhh but my vespa only comes in March. Which really sucks. But it’s what I’ve always wanted and what I’ll be riding for some years so I gotta deal with waiting for my motorbike in the colour I want.
Anyway I hope you like the new look for the blog too! Bigger and brighter.

the colour’s way off in the photo, anyway, these are my new shoesies! the Cali oxford from Dieppa Restrepo in gunmetal.

beautiful cards from yellow owl work shop!
nice on the outside and nice on the inside too. lemonade from marks & spencer
I’m no expert on black pepper but this one by Jamie Oliver is so darn aromatic and robust, I actually did want to nibble the pepper on its own.
So right this minute, I’m mentally exhausted from working on my Christmas cards, such a loser, you wouldn’t believe how many times I failed during the process! But when push comes to shove, I let go of my one and only idea and came up with something I like so much better. No more “ugh I want to die” and “I hate Christmas” coming from me, I officially am feeling the Christmas spirit.
I can’t wait to get them all done and mail them out! Some of which will be going to some of you (and hopefully in time)!
Just one last YAY!,
okay I’m gone.
