Last week, Deep and i took a drive to Kuala Kubu Baru,
for Antares‘ little gathering to celebrate his life (cos he fell ill end of last year).
Thankfully he returned to our world from his coma
and according to him, his friend went into the astral world to find
Antares sitting on a rock, in a sarong, having a cup of tea
I love seeing Antares and listening to him talk…
i always feel like a little kid again.
There were heaps of puppies in the compound,
nibbling,
biting,
trotting about.
I tried my best not to step on a puppy or village kid at night cos i couldn’t see anything in the dark!
Antares on the right, talking to a puppy that didn’t look too well.
Madeline was there too,
and i remember her holding the puppy on the mushroom going, “Look! Take picture! You’ll be femes!”
After eating, everyone just chilled on the patio,
or the garden.
I spent some time playing pretend with Sharon,
while lying on the grass and looking up at the many stars.
Deep and i spent the night at Bamboo Palace,
where we’d stayed previously.
It’s really basic so i wouldn’t drag my diva friends there :p
I had to use a torchlight to go to the bathroom at night
Woke up the next morning to 5 pairs of little eyes peeping at me.
‘Twas the village kids.
I was so sleepy lazy i continued sleeping
When i woke up, i purposely played Karen O & The Kids,
thinking they would probably like the sound of All is Love or Capsize
and one of them started yelling along to it, trying to get the tune,
so cute!
After breakfast i did NOTHING but lie in a hammock
feel the breeze
let my thoughts float
and hear the leaves rustling
Flipped through this book about how aliens are responsible for the evolution of mankind in the past 2,000 years
Antares playing the guitar and singing.
I LOVE his lyrics… they’re funny, sometimes political, always radical, funny, and they rhyme
A little Buddha figurine someone found randomly in the garden
So it got placed on the table
Spent the afternoon in the river
doing nothing
chilling
thinking
bonding with nature
Look how massive the brown leaf is compared to my foot!
I was deeply fascinated by this seedling (according to Deep, it is)
I just pretended it was some fairy cloak.
So many pix 0_o
Streamyx is doing pretty good for me these days,
but can’t wait for their new 15mbps fiber optic service,
supposed to be all up by March 2010.
Anyway, digressed!
When i got back to KL,
i went for dinner with my Lovelies and met Lauren who’s now based in KL.
DarlingDhanya was telling us how many instruments she plays: “Violin, piano, guitar, cello, flute…”
Me: Great… i feel so useless. The most productive thing i did today was shred a leaf into tiny pieces and watch it float down a river… -_-
Wow.
It just hit me that exactly SIX YEARS AGO, i wrote my first blogpost HAHA!
+ + + + +
+ + + + +
Just spent some time reading through my archives,
and i realise how much i love this blog.
It has all my memories of me going through college,
parties and raves (now dragging me out to a club is a bit hard :p),
incessant drinking (hmm that hasn’t stopped),
friends i used to be close to, friends that i’m still close to,
boyfriends and all the stupid funny things we’d do with each other,
increase in holidays as i slowly managed to earn more money ,
and other pinnacle moments in my life (heartbreak, my dog Steven passing away),
as well as working my way up from 2004:
photographer > writer > freelancer > managing editor > blogger (!)
The more i find pieces that slowly creep into my heart
as one i’m utterly fond of,
the more i realise it’s not how much they cost.
Cos more often than not,
they cost a pittance of RM2-10.
Take for instance my frog bauble necklace.
Got it in Bangkok for RM8.
Have loved it for 3 years,
still loving it.
Luggage key hangs from it.
Would be thoroughly upset if i lost it.
The frog bauble, not the key.
And my new blue mesh top.
RM5.
The wonders or layering i can play with!
I wonder if friends or lovers can be seen from that angle.
Someone who doesn’t look like you’d value them.
But once you try them on, you never want to lose them.
This post is dedicated to the woman who’s responsible
for all my wild, life-altering, mind-blowing hairstyles for the past 4 years.
For her birthday night, Milcah wanted to go to Phuture,
and because it’s her birthday and she’s queen for the day,
everyone had to do what she wanted.
Actually.
Everyone always does what she wants -_-
Aps, Milcah, Benji
Clement + Milcah
Aps, William (cannot make it past 4am) + Milcah
Glad to have my router back :p
And realised how much i take Streamyx for granted!
I <3 you, Streamyx!
Random:
Seeing DannyTripod to go hang out,
and both of us are completely fail and indecisive of what to do.
“How about a movie? But damn it may be crowded now…” “Yeah… i want somewhere cooling cos it’s damn hot.”
“Okay… urm i don’t know what we should do!” “… how about i meet you at Sid’s and we decide? “
“HAHAHA okay!”
