hearing aid: the hum of the never-ending drill of Singapore construction
it's good to be back.
it's strange to be home.
here is exactly where i want to be right now.
i apologise for my super delayed post on my trip to melbourne. having landed in Singapore, to a gust of really hot and humid air was least to say... funny. i couldn't help but smile in my leather boots and jeans. it's good to be back.
so, i met some real good and decent people in melbourne. people whom i hope to meet again (:
kudos to soph and sam for showing me around and letting me crash on their couch while i was in town. you girls made the long hauled trip halfway around the world absolutely worth it.
just a few snippets of my time in melbourne. more pictures can be found on Facebook > (PART I) and (PART II).
when at Camberwell (home to an awesome Sunday flea market concept), be sure to check this section out.
that my friends, is a WALL OF GUM.
to Saint Kilda's (the beach) we go. most definitely not for a swim; it is in the dead of winter now! Sam brings me to this shop called Urban Attitude which houses the funniest little non-practical items I know like a Willy-o-meter.
this is my tribute to Rah --- the woman who decided that a trip to Paris would beat a trip to Melbourne.i find this dice at Urban Attitude, and the shop lady tells us about it -- "it names the various types of affection people have for one another." i think, 'okay, i'll roll the dice with a name in mind.' AND this is what i get. i burst out laughing. wanna play Guess The Name?
when in Saint Kilda's, and with the sunset in the background. do what everyone would do.
i wait for your return.
till we meet again, you will be on my mind.
fo' sure.another 20 more days till i fly away again.
