Yoga: Headstand

My beloved mother is here, to summon me back to KL. We were supposed to take the 4 pm flight but HAHA we missed it and now waiting for the next flight out at 10 pm. About 4 hours waiting time, surprisingly i am okay with waiting. I get extremely restless when i am at one place for too long. Maybe i am growing up! My mom is keeping herself entertained by taking pictures of me (doing yoga) and uploading them on her Instagram. She takes the most honest photos ever. Pretty much what you see, is what she is seeing. Check out her Instagram here! Its mostly pictures of her food, cats, my niece, her children and me.

One Too Many on Film

Having a ladsy talk with another Michael

Sayang

Excuse my messy kitchen - i lived with 8 people and 4 of them are boys (behind is their kitchen)

Having a chat

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. 

#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!
