#DW47 on film

I love light leaks

well, someone obviously...cant take photos. 

Chelsea and her best mates

My beloved room for 6 months - best decision to move to this room

Caught Nyssa off guard

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.

My world

Early the year, i wrote about loving globes and world maps but never owning one. I did get off my ass and got myself a globe, which i love! For my birthday, Don hinted he got me something and he wasn't very good at hiding it and sure enough, he surprised me with a world map! He was really cute with it, he got me whiteboard markers to circle places i want to go. Post its - to take notes of things i want to do in the countries and etc. I love it! Such a thoughtful gift

There are a few places i really want to go:

1. Cambodia
2. Hong Kong
3. India
4. Japan
5. France

I have been to Cambodia when i was younger and visited the Angkor Wat, but i was too young to appreciate it. i was more interested in running around the temples with my friends. I have pictures of Angkor Wat in my room back in KL, just to remind myself to go to Cambodia! I really want to go back and learn more about the culture. Hopefully end of this year :D. I hope to cross out this list within the next two years with Don. I am really excited to go on adventures with him, hehe!

Yoga: Crow Pose

Crow pose is one of my favourite poses because it works my upper body muscles and core muscles which i lack of.

I practise this pose all the time and fail miserably. My housemates and i would be sitting down at our living room watching TV, playing Fifa or just talking and i would stop what i am doing and break out a crow pose. Sometimes they would join me, sometimes they make fun of me and sometimes they would entertain me and take my pictures/videos. Today, i managed to lift my tush and balance for more than 10 seconds!!! Practice, practice and practice. I love how yoga teaches me to be patience. Yay to hitting all my yoga milestones!

I did it!

(Excuse the messy background in my picture) 

Yoga/Body Balance is my new found love. A few years ago, i had two bad fall on my tail bone within 6 months. Since then it hasn't been right. I went to see a chiropractor and he said that my hip bone is slanted. After weeks of painful massages and cupping, it got better as in my hips were aligned but shit happens, i got injured playing sports. Minor aches here and there. My hips and back started to get stiff. I didn't realise how stiff i was when i did crossfit. I was so sore from my crossfit classes that i couldn't even stretch and that made me stiff. 

Do I want to know?

Perth has been gloomy the past few days, matching my mood (and appetite!). I have been in a less-happy mood. Like i am not 100% happy but still happy kind of mood. I have the sweetest and funniest housemates. I have lived with many girls over the years, these two girls are the craziest bunch. Hanging out with them, talking about nothing, going on paleo diets that never last, eating chocolates and chia puddings and watching gossip girl makes me happy. 

The less happy part is...

I had to say goodbye to Don over the weekend and trying to concentrate on finishing my paper was kinda hard. Its going to be a some time before we get to see each other again. On cue, Chelsea burst in my room and announced that she is going to the beach to catch the sunset. Half and hour later, we were at Cottesloe Beach taking selfies and freezing ourselves off! 

I love Perth. I love the fact that the beach is just a drive away. The air is clean and fresh. Its laid back and relaxed. Weather is beautiful (except when its gloomy and cold). People here are lovely. Another small (yet big) hurdle to make this place my home.
