Wonderlust ♥

here are some pictures of the cycling trip i had on one of the days:

Ohai ohai ~

this is specially for those who keep a lookout on this space for weekly updates .
you know i try my best but sometimes i'm just too busy or lazy .
since i have quite abit of free time today , i'm squeezing out this entry for you ! :)

if the previous post is anything to go by ,
you guys are probably quite sick of my philosophical nonsense by now ; so it will be saved for the next post .
for this one , here are some pictures to sum up my day yesterday :


told ya i have zero interest in taking pictures of food (nor movie tickets) .
but i do have a pension for taking pictures of beverages especially pretty ones like my himalayan tea latte above .

also made full use of my time at F21 cuz on days that i feel too lazy to try clothes , i window shop .
happened to see quite alot of pieces i liked in F21 when window shopping the other day .
so yesterday i picked a total of 4 pieces ,
which is the maximum number of items able to be brought in , and tried all 4 ~

these few months are favoring me as the fashion that hits the stores are what i fancy :3

recently i'm big on muscle tees(t-shirt style without sleeves) and sweaters(as usual) .
hoodies are good too but it's not very often that shops stock up with good looking ones with appropriate thickness .

for me i dig casual clothes that are street chic or grunge style and avoid girly styles like a plague .
(girly meaning pink , frills , etc .)
as for work clothes i deviate towards bodycon dresses and maxi dresses .
(so i have to constantly work hard to maintain my weight)
although i lean towards the tomboyish style more ,
i dislike wearing pants cuz they are not comfy and i need to think what to match them with .

oh casual days are spent in shorts of course .

army prints sweater and olive studded shorts , both F21:
tiger sweater and olive shorts , likewise both F21:
charcoal cross muscle tee with studded collar:


(denim shorts are actually also from F21 but was from previous previous season's so i'm not sure if they still have stocks)

i bought both the army print sweater and cross top .

been searching for an army print sweater since forever as i don't exactly like to shop online .
(which is probably also a bad habit which i shouldn't pick up :p)

cross top is to give me variation and add on to my collection of muscle tees ! (currently at 4)

any opinions on whether i should get the olive shorts ?

also the tiger sweater closeup:
i need size s for this .
all the sizes were either m or l .
if you know of any outlets with size s in stocks please drop me a note

that marks the end of my shopping !

yesterday's company and genki sushi was great as always .
movie was entertaining . :)

here's what i bought for merl to welcome her back from auzzie come mon:
left clear calcite gemstone bracelet is for her .
mine is the blue goldstone on the right .

posted it on instagram ~

anyhoo , i've been rather active on instagram lately !

art update goes there too . *throws incentive*

all the best for your upcoming week ahead !

Hello ! did you miss me while i was gone ?

sorry for the long wait . as y'all probably know by now , i've been living and breathing work this week so i haven't exactly had the time to catch that much of a breather . i'm grateful that i finally have some time now , but i remain rather perturbed about the fact that today is already a sunday and i don't have much time left .

in fact i had the urge to rant a couple of days ago because lack of time and lack of sleep increases my crankiness levels . still . visiting this space always helps ! i feel this sense of tranquility settling , but it's almost always disrupted by some strange bug paying a late night visit to my room =-= .

as you can tell , this post will be more of a word post , so a little detour and picture before i continue .

i've been doing some research on colouring techniques online and found this tutorial i favourited in my deviantart account quite some time ago:
http://yuni.deviantart.com/art/Coloring-technique-61468467?q=favby%3Ashadow611%2F3321260&qo=538

so i went ahead and tested it on my perona piece:
it's obviously still a work in progress so stay tuned .
skin is perfectly ok but hair is not so . will be tweaking it a little , hopefully i can get desirable end results .

also this is increasing my urges to get a tablet since i feel it'd definitely help with the colouring process .
current wishlist include a tablet , camera and jamie and my japan trip .
which hopefully i can get a camera first to bring to the japan trip late this year .
geez . i seem to be living on minimum subsistence and so i conclude that  i need more money .

on to the next point of this post , i realized that self-centered people do have a lot of common ideologies .
even if the degree and type varies . the one that rings most true is probably this statement:

we accept the love we think we deserve

what do you think ?

i never shortchange myself and i do live by this principle .
deserve is a strong word which could translate to having high expectations ; because nobody would think they deserve less , but rather more ; and there are many reasons why the other party doesn't catch your interest , be it petty trivial reasons or something more major . nonetheless i don't believe it's easy to find someone deserving .

i admit that is most likely because we would be looking at a perfect person , a perfect situation and/or a perfect timing but no one is perfect , people fall short and circumstances and time may not be in favor .
i suppose over time , things may change yet remain the same .

it's hard to explain really , but what i'm trying to say is , some opinions may change , but ultimately it won't affect my ideals and it won't hamper my way of living . kind of like an adaption and not a change .

also , this serves as a reality check to give and take as and when deemed fit .
to move forward , risks need to be taken and decisions have to be made .
not to just remain headstrong and stubborn .

now i really need my sleep , i'm too lazy to blog anymore so this will have to suffice for a week
(or maybe a couple) , sorry if it bores you !

pardon me , i'm still very sulky about my 6 day work week ... *gloom* 

working on perona when i wake up and i hope that helps to make me feel better . ciao .
