* Photos by the amazing team of John Russell and Paulius Staniunas *
Ahmygad. There are so many pictures, that i took ages just picking some to resize and there are still hundreds more i’m just not gonna post up.
It’s already been two weeks since Awesomeness Fest East took place and so much has been happening i’m just getting to blog about it now! And of course… i happened to have some of the party pix from my cam edited already so i decided to post about the closing party first :p Work my way back? Heh.
If you have no idea what Afest is, you can read my blogpost about *the first one i attended in Bali last year*
I wrote this on my Facebook upon returning from Afest this year:
“The past few days have been one of the most beautiful in my life. I honestly didn’t think i would reap too much more fromย Awesomeness Festย cos i went before, and this time it blew me away that i was given greater lessons than i ever imagined or thought possible.
I met so many amazing people who touched my hearts, and those who said i touched theirs.
Put that with partying on 6 catamarans with a sunset view, and being transported via speedboat to a private island decked out just for 260 of us to party… it was fucking insane. FUCKING INSANE.”
Here are pix from the closing party on the private island off Phuket!
It’s called the closing party cos there were major parties 5 nights in a row for Afest… #marathonmuch
I was completely PARTIED out after.
So these pix below are from my own cam (which you can tell cos they’re recognisably nowhere near as fantastic as Paulius’ and John’s!
With Kute, check out his website www.kuteblackson.com
We were all greeted with garlands and drinks the moment we set foot on the private island!
With Young Australian of the Year and one of this year’s Afest speakers – Sam Cawthorn
There was a handful of Malaysians there, and Azman was one of ’em!
Luxanne, Sarah and i
I remember i wanted to get a pic with Sarah on the beach, and before we knew it, there were a number of guys wanting to get pix with us. We patiently entertained them till one guy went to another, “Hey your camera is much better, mind if we take another of me and them with yours?” It must have been like the fourth picture we posed for and i was like, “Are you kidding me!”
The moment the last guy got his pic, i yelled “Run!” and literally bounced off before someone else came up to us.
I wasn’t trying very hard to take nice pictures cos i knew the photogs were gonna get some KICK ASS shots… like the one below which totally exemplifies what our dinner set up looked like.
Ok back to my pictures >
I have so much love for this girl! Triff i hearts you forever!

Oh man these two were just too much for me that night.
They were paying me all these nice compliments like how they wish they had a Joyce Cloning Machine so they could each take me back to their countries. I was like, “Stop!!!!”
They made my confidence levels shoot to 20998492849

I managed to stall them to let me put down my bag and remove my dress so i wouldn’t get anything wet!
It was one of the best parties i’ve been to!
There was SO much dancing and running around and talking and hugging and FUN.
So many people lost something :p especially their sandals cos they got too drunk to remember where they put them
Back to pix from my cam. I took these on the bus on the way back to the hotel >
The poor camera crew were dead tired after shooting non-stop for 5 days!
More posts to come… this is gonna take awhile!
