“All great achievements require time” – frame in my room. 
In a hurry, can’t wait?! Have some greens or mushrooms. Add a lil butter, a tad of seasoning.. Sizzzle! oohlala~

I’m sure i’m not the only one who sometimes, try to define “friends”… Ever came across this line? — Friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, it all ends with an end, but family ends with I.Love.You
Some may linger more rather than the latter. Imagine how ridiculous this would sound. “Frarts, boyfrart, girlfrart”. At least the end rhymes with a start hey?

South Africa fam n’ friends trip. miss u mom
pretty amazing buildings
lol -.-

outdoor showers def freaked out some of the ladies

National Geography, nothingclosetodat!

Would I recommend South Africa to anyone set aside the excruciating food poisoning I encountered for JUST the first few days? hell yeah! exotic food, nice scenery, safaris, Table Mountain, streets o’ CapeTown…… all you need is a handy DSLR or c’mon, a bloody good cameraphone, a luggage packed with nothing but masks and ‘Noodles in a Cup’, not forgetting of course….. selecting your top groupies and there you go fly away, *specially Shakira fans!*

not just a rainbow. just have to look closer

love!
Wisdom. 
Knowledge. 

Along the line or extreme ends? Want the best of both?
Some say it’s like sneezing with both your eyes opened and then painting a beautiful canvas out of it. Achievable? Do it!


Peace

Bust Your Bubble

The happiest thing one could do is to Love everything.

“If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.” – Audrey Hepburn
 Gotta love her!

.. some, on the contrary, are just kiddy-tales gone bad eg: Pied Piper and his herd of lured minds?? The amphibian frog prince……… *shivers*

I don’t DO absurdity. no thanks.

Memoirs Imprinted

Father once told me this years ago – The hardest thing to do in life is yet to live a simple one.  — That young child, comfortably tucked under her fine silk sheets her daddy bought during their most recent family trip to China, took that precious piece of advice like a gem, carefully placed it in her secret pandora box that’s hidden way below sea level, constantly consuming waves of unfamiliarities.

You may not be offered the privilege of choosing who you fall in love with, great job opportunities, what eyes and hair colour you have but do bare in mind… we always have an alternative to create and lay solid bricks which leads to similarity or something along the path. Keep it simple? Go hard or go home? We are the writers of our own, never otherwise. Even miss Paris Hilton had trouble convincing us she’s living the ohsosimplelife on TV.


Enjoyed a short break with the awesome ones who flew all the way from home, feeling all touristy again in Victorian Melbourne.

Cirque du Soleil

” A dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment”
 


Taking the start of this entry towards the extreme end here… just to give that wow-effect with da performing artsy picture above. heeee 🙂 

Stuck with Davidson’s book currently, and there’s one chapter that whirled me into his world out of nowhere.. He covered studies of our mighty brain and also made his justification clear that.. the basis of our wellbeing stems from a compact blob. The journey starts with sensory receptors, then specific regions in the prefrontal cortex — activation and tada…… Mood Boosters! Basically, it’s a piece of art.

Art. Whether it’s philharmonic strings, ballet, variety of street performances, and even random gravities *set aside those artistic-expression-gone-bad ones, even those! certain minds or hearts embrace them*

Art, a topic which IS too broad to cover, art of expression, art of meditation, art of fools, art of deception etc. etc….. Just add a noun and you get an art of Fun. Sounds like I’m babbling but it’s FAR from that.

People who don’t understand your a.r.t. considers you an “Unknown Freak Object”. … so??
Wash and groom your beard like the bearded lady, jump through hoops to make a living, blast your speakers until you’re nearly deaf.

Without the freak in us, what’s there to balance?

Dreams. Fear.

like it or not.. all boils down to perception. 

“no one truly cares for you except for yourself”. such statement that I would like to rip off the face of earth and grin while I watch it burn, but ain’t gonna happen! If you choose to adapt to such thinking of somewhat implies, I could guarantee you’re on your way to nothing BUT disaster because it’s not ours to start with! why not search within.. where you know best? or at least try cz if u don’t give shyt to that, no one will. I’d like this much better – everyone cares, show them what you’ve got, dance like no one’s watching. yeah?

“what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. a well-known statement.. motivational? another disastrous recipe? I’ll spare myself with this one thank God.

Someone once asked me what’s my greatest fear and I was honest, not to impress but definitely a step to opening up.

What’s the meaning of all these? Beats me. 
Reality and dreams collide? One day, I truly hope.
