DAILY COFFEE
Saturday, 20 September 2014
Don is a heavy coffee drinker while i am not. I like going to cafes to look at their interior designs and take pictures of them. So this works well for the both of us. The Daily in Swanbourne has a wall of raw bricks at the corner of their shop. I LOVE! Something about brick walls reminds me of my childhood and i find it very comforting. I am caffeine sensitive, one cup of coffee after 4pm, i will be wide awake until 4am.
My tolerance/love for coffee started when i started hanging out with Don. After class, we would go down to a cafe and catch up with our classmates over coffee. I got sick of drinking hot chocolate after a while and decided to just try a latte. i was hooked! I evolved from hot chocolate with soy milk to mocha to flat white and now black coffee with milk. My tolerance is getting way better, I now need (good) coffee in the morning to function better.

| Camera: LCA+ Film: Kodak 400 |
Chopped 4 years of my life. I have been thinking about cutting my hair for the longest time and finally decided to just cut it off. What do i have to lose? My ends were dry as a bone and it was becoming a hassle to maintain it. Hair will grow and nothing wrong with pampering yourself at the saloon. I admit, I was a little heartbroken when i saw my hair on the floor but i decided to look at it in a way - i finished school for good and i am starting fresh. Im moving on to the next step in my life with cute hair and a cute boy.
Always

Its been a good overwhelming past few days for me. I have been so blessed with good opportunities that it seems freaking unbelievable! I was so worried that i was going to hate coming back home but so far, everything has been in place for me, except the one thing i really want, but you don't always get what you want.
The three pictures above are my foundation in Perth. The house i lived in, the reason why i was there and the person who went through the journey with me. It is so weird moving back to my room in KL and not have this feeling that i have to go back to Uni in a few weeks time. Its funny how when i first came to Perth, i disliked it. I couldn't wait to finish my course, go back to KL and start working. I was so used to KL's hectic lifestyle that i didn't know how to appreciate Perth's laid back lifestyle. Now, i love it and want a future there. Pertie says its karma for us for complaining early on how much we hated it and now we have to go back. But I believe there is always a reason to why things happen. #imissperth #sadface #missdonmore

Film: Kodak 400 ISO
Flash: Coloursplash flash
These are my first few shots from my LCA+. I am truly impressed with the camera's quirks and flaws. I am not a big fan of Coloursplash flash because the colour filter is too hard on the subject, like the first picture of Kim Kim. But the contrast between the background and Kim Kim is so vivid that i am starting to love the flash.
My LCA+ is always with me now. My friends are getting a bit annoyed at me for taking photo of them. I went to the Ramadan Bazaar (a bazaar that sell all sorts of Malaysian food for people to break fast with), i looked like a tourist holding two cameras #whocares #youwillthankmelater. I dug up my first fisheye camera, found that i still have film in it from over a year ago and i completely forgot about them. I just send 3 rolls of film to the shops and i cant wait to pick them up. Its going to be a pleasant surprise!

I love all the candid shots i forced Nyssa to take of us. Nyssa is my ever loyal photographer, she is the one behind all my yoga photos #nyssaphotography, bless her! I expected the shots to come out centered but it turned out better than i thought. This guy had to be the subject of my photo taking so many times that it got to a point where he knew to just stand or sit in this case and let me do my thing. I was determined to take as many photos of him/us as possible without repetition for memory sake. We aren't going to see each other for a while :( He is on a crazy road trip in across America right now. FaceTime calls, Whatsapp messages and 15 hours time difference are our thing now.

| multiple over-exposed |
I have always wanted the Lomo LCA+ camera since i first started taking film pictures, but held back cause it was too expensive, hard to get and etc. Had a good conversation with a friend who has the LCA+, he told me to move on from fisheye camera (check out my lomo blog!) and get LCA+. i thought about it for a couple of days and decided to just get it! i had the means and not getting it was just a bad excuse of me not wanting to get out from my comfort zone! I have many other film camera but i keep going back to fisheye because of its familiarity. Found out i have terrible negotiating skills while ordering this camera, needed help from Don to get a good price for me. It turned out really good because the guy who sold me to me gave me two films and a colour splash flash! Yay to kind people!
I was really excited to start taking pictures that i assumed my film was 36 exposures but instead it was 24 exposures, i accidentally over-stretched the last bit of film and it came out over exposed with multiple exposures. Whatever (beautiful) photos i took will be remembered in memory and in bits of pieces in the shot. This first roll is experimental with light, flash and iso. Forgive the inconsistency of the quality but really i am not sorry because i love how each exposure came out #sorrynotsorry.
