Went for lunch with AnnaCanBeatMeUp and GarfieldChak.
Was so happy stuffing my face with Indian food,
while the other two spoke about their cult gym *psst…pushmore*
They were saying how lucky i was for being so skinny
while eating so much all the time.
And then trying to convince me to try Pushmore (again! how many times must i say no!)
AnnaCanBeatMeUp claimed that i was too chicken to try it,
and even started clucking and flapping her buff arms slightly (see how crazy these pushmore people are -_-)
Indignant me had to retaliate that ’twas not fear but dislike.
Dahlah time is so precious, why do something which i know i won’t enjoy!
Stop asking me to join Pushmore! Grrrr
I really enjoyed lunch that day,
and how i didn’t have to think when i spoke to them.
Realised that as we three are freelancers, hence riding the same wavelength, definitely contributed to it!
If i were to talk about how free i am during the daytime to other friends who are working full-time,
they’d just stare cock at me like i should shrivel up and die right there.
I was thinking lately about how we choose the people we hang out with.
And what changes our choices, as we change.
I don’t blame anyone when a friendship dies.
I don’t blame the other person.
I don’t blame myself.
I think it’s all about connection.
It rained in the morning of our second last day in Amsterdam.
We whinged a bit at first, but not for long cos we really did have brilliant weather all the other days we were there!
Went to try Burgermeester.
I feel like quite a trend-whore for going to all these places Wallpaper recommends, but figured it’d be a better guide than none at all!
We ate the burgers the proper way – grabbing at the whole thing with both hands till burger juice and sauce dripped down our forearms.
Walked to a nearby market that was quite boring,
lots of trashy stuff we wouldn’t spend our money on so i just snapped around.
Weather cleared up so we went to do our next favourite thing after hanging out at Vondelpark = hanging out by the canal!
I’m wearing > striped maxi dress; baci
striped vintage scarf; wow… i can’t remember where i picked it up from… either amsterdam or london
leopard necklace; me & zena
Then we put the camera on self-timer to snap us on this marvelous platform we were hanging out on. (It really was marvelous, cos we went back the next day and other people beat us to our sunspot!)
Looking back at the picture… i’m mighty glad we didn’t tumble into the canal, Yishyene.
I spent ages being mesmerized by the reflection of the buildings and trees in the water,
just look how it looks like melting paint!
Makes me feel like attempting to replicate it in oil paints.
On my last Sunday in London before flying back to KL,
you can guess we packed in a full day of running around!
Went by Spitalfields where i’d spent a few afternoons wandering around alone,
and headed straight for Columbia Road where we were to browse + have lunch before Lovebox.
Cute doormats. I fancy the one on upper right
Aunty G can’t multitask. So when she BBs, we gotta stop walking.
Supercool shops on Columbia Road!
How come nobody told me about this road before i went to London!!!
All the displays and things for sale were so inspiring and quirky!
You can view how all their store fronts look *here*
Full of colour and
people shouting bargains,
people buying flowers,
people carrying flowers,
people pushing flowers,
people wishing they brought their 4WD so they could buy everything there.
