A couple of months ago I decided to make use of the white table top in my living room and start to get all arty with some of my photos. This is because I saw some other cool people doing it and I wanted to be cool, too. Hey at least I’m admitting it. So here’s a little curated selection of some of these snaps off my Instagram account; and I can introduce you to some of my new toys: 🙂

Happy sushi

^I’ve been eating a lot of sushi for breakfast/lunch lately..

Hey Arnold!

^OMG I LOVE Hey Arnold! Please tell me you know him! Top right is a pair of monkey socks given to me over Christmas by a friend in Porto. They’re awesome. Bottom pic is my bed where many-a-night I’m spending way too much time reading Men’s Health or Quora.

Felt toys

^Left: A cow finger puppet and my pink felt pig in Paris (Montmartre to be exact)

Right: My felt elephant on a beach near Porto^

 Happy food

^Left: Gifts from a friend consisting of some of my favourite things – Vegemite included OF COURSE! Oh and peanut butter pouches.. so good.

Right: One of my breakfasts. Chirashi sushi, baby biscuits, fruit, and chocolate!^

Below: My super bling iPhone case! You can get it for $50 from Casemate.

Casemate, Wolf & Moon

^Some fab accessories I got from Wolf & Moon in December. One of my favourite jewellery labels!

Hobby horse

^Left: Disco ball and my little horse – an old birthday gift from 2013

Right: A card I made using pieces of felt and a glue gun. For a friend whose name began with the letter G^

Porto winter sunbathing

^This was me in Porto in DECEMBER! Can you believe it. My pom-pom headpiece is by Rosa Bloom.

Marc Jacobs sunnies

^Food ‘lunch belts’ that I got from Colette Paris – I love that store so much! And my new Marc Jacobs sunglasses, c/o SmartBuyGlasses.

I was hoping to receive them in time before I went off to Portugal and Spain last month but that didn’t happen. So here are some pics of me wearing them as I enjoyed some sunshine.. at home.. in my bikini! This is something I do quite often during the winter actually – whenever the sun’s out. If you can’t do it outside, why not in, right?

My face & purple hair

^That’s a sunspot on my hair! Hair cut & colour by Pimps & Pinups.

More ME

^HAhahaha ok basically I was so high on sunshine and self-love that I thought it would be a fantastic idea to keep taking pictures of myself wearing my cool new sunglasses. Cos I thought I looked pretty damn good in them (and I don’t care if you think not :p).

They fit great! This particular design also comes in BLUE (I know, the blue is SO ME isn’t it!). But seeing as I’ve given away my RayBans to my sister/mom I might get a replacement for those instead.

Ok, that’s enough of me for now.

And please, if you haven’t already, follow me on Instagram (and say hello)!

Cafe Luc is a little place on Marylebone High Street offering French/Belgian cuisine

We had lunch there one day in January
I really liked it
The food was delish and I was lucky enough to get what I thought was the best table in the house – the corner one right by the window

Oh and the service was exceptional
They made me feel like the most important eater in the restaurant

I hadn’t explored Marylebone High Street much before that day; in fact I think I’d probably only been there a maximum of two times. There seemed to be lots of French cafes/brasseries/pastry shops lining the street. One day I’ll go back to buy and eat those yummy-looking things I saw in the pastry shop windows.. !

P1151972

A peek at the menu

P1151976

Other people who didn’t get ‘the best table’

P1151979

My steak (perfect) with .. I cannot remember the name of the sauce

Not as tasty as the ones at 64th & Social in Clapham though *loyal*

P1151981

Country terrine

P1151982

Real French Fries
This was amazing

P1151983

Nutella Creme Brulee
A little too rich
I’m not a big fan of chocolate so..

A couple of pics on the walk around Marylebone that evening:

P1152012

I don’t know what this building was
Some gallery or something
But anyway it looked nice lit up

P1152013

Three perfect benches in a row!

I wished it was warm and sunny and all my friends were there so we could fill the benches and then.. wonder what the point was in doing that

P1151999P1152017

My duffle coat is by River Island.
It’s one of my favourites cos of its ginormous pockets that can fit my phone, camera, money, cards, food, and rubbish.

These are photos taken one or two days before I left London for my holiday at the end of January. We had spent the day at Westfield since I had to do lots of shopping (things for my family). It reminded me of my teenage years, where dates used to involve nothing much more than spending a day at the mall. We would have lunch or dinner, watch a movie, window-shop, and perhaps have a game of bowling or a round of ice-skating if the mood was adventurous.

At Westfield, it was shopping, dinner, and a movie (Black Swan)

Not my idea of a fun date these days, but it was kinda nice to re-live this type of day after so many years..

P1232159P1232168

Tee Asos
Cardi Topshop
Shorts New Look
Shoes DP
Necklace Gogo Philip

P1232162

I got sent this necklace courtery of GogoPhilip ages ago
But somehow only got around to using it recently

The pendant is so super corny – makes me laugh a bit – but I really like the dirty gold colour and how it’s so light-weight

P1232163

Here’s a closer look

+++++++

And here are some pics of dinner.. two anyway

P1232190

Linguine vongole.. best kind of pasta ever
I have a lot of ‘best ever’s

P1232194

Ice-cream slice with vanilla, strawberry sorbet, pistachio, and chocolate

P1242199

I bet lots of people have fantasized about getting locked in a mall after closing-time
I can only IMAGINE all the things I would do if that ever happened to me!

This picture was taken after the movie and when all the shops had shut
I wish I could rollerblade through the whole place.. just look at the smoooth, shiny, empty floors!

Last night – look, me writing about something that happened a mere one day (instead of 6 months) ago – our food-loving friends Marie and Jayna took us to an asian dessert house in central London

I love asian desserts
The menus always seem endless and there are so many combinations of dessert you can create
Out of all the different types of jelly, coconut cream/milk, red beans, green beans, with/without shaved ice, a variety of interesting fruits. And what about all those flavours of bubble tea!!

We had so much mango

P1091947

Shaved coconut flesh + ice + jelly cubes + lemon
This tasted like really refreshing sorbet

P1091948

Mango puree + fresh mango + sago

P1091949

Fresh mango + pomelo + sago

Marta & Marta

Marta and Marta are both from Portugal and they both live in London!
Long-haired Marta invited us to her house last Friday evening for a dinner + wine + olives

She made the most delicious brocolli rice + gay chicken + roast potatoes with peppers
It’s loosely called ‘gay chicken’ apparently because the chicken’s stuffed with a lemon before cooking.. haha!

Did some research – the actual dish is called ‘Frango a Paneleiro

I was so preoccupied with eating as soon as dinner appeared so no photos of the food!

But meet Cleo – the resident kitty
She’s really cute but loves to bite playfully

P1071880

P1071885

Longhaired Marta + Shorthaired Marta

Whoa this sounds like I’m naming animal breeds

Last week I went with Sian to catch the WakeyWakey gig at Relentless Garage
Since we were early, we hung out at this pub just outside Highbury/Islington Station for a while.. the pub was called..

”The Famous Cock’”

I know it’s so childish but it cracks me up.. !

At the bar we ordered a glass of mulled wine each
We were so lucky because the pot was nearly finished, so we got whatever that was left it in – the RICH, fruity, heavily spiced, sinked-to-the-bottom, super saturated part.. and it was SO SO GOOD. It even had orange pulp in it. I love pulp.

It was THE BEST mulled wine I’ve ever had in my LIFE.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah

before

after PC061341 PC061364

I’d never heard of WakeyWakey before this
Apparently the main guy has a regular role in One Tree Hill – which I don’t like and don’t watch, so actually it doesn’t matter

But he is so hilarious! I like musicians who talk to and engage with the audience when they perform. I notice it’s mostly the American or Canadian ones who do this. I can’t say I loved his music but I so enjoyed his personality, his humour, and how he burst out laughing mid-song because a FLY was buzzing in front of his face.. (I did too)

Halloween is the only time I embrace the colour orange!
Other times I hate it. It’s mainly because I hate carrots.

Here are some pics of a small party I had at my place – all unedited cos there’s simply no time for that crap right now.

PA300058 DSCF8333 DSCF8342 DSCF8348

Last-minute lame makeup using a £1 kit!

Emma and I didn’t have any real costumes planned so half an hour before the party started we set up a little makeup counter by the top of the stairs (there’s a mirror there) and started painting crap on our faces.

We changed our designs and masks through the night!

DSCF8369

Also had a moustache/sideburns/eyebrows kit to play with. It was fun!

PA300004  PA300006

Puking pumpkin + vampire teeth gummies + monster veins / inflatable pumpkin

PA300026

I dyed the spaghetti orange

I loved the result

PA300027

Smiling skull confetti on spiderweb tablecloth

PA300030

Greeting pumpkin outside the door.

We also wrapped nearly all the lights (inside and outside) in orange crepe paper.

The whole place looked super COOL.

PA300035  PA300036

Emma + me / me + ‘Holy Shit’

PA300037

Green couple Emma + Mark!
Mark’s mask was hilarious! It’s constantly sad no matter how hard you smile behind it :p
It’s great for funny-dancing with.

PA300038  PA300039

Uhh.. someone from Mad Men (I don’t watch it) / Amy Winehouse. In real life known as Jayna and Natalie.

PA300041-1

Hanging deco.. i LOVE the skeleton.
We had a few dances together. He’s got some good moves!

PA300046

PA300048

PA300051

Jayna brought one of her many Polaroid cameras and we started a Polaroid wall.

This was less than halfway through.. I forgot to take a photo of the full wall later on due to the effects of alcohol consumption.

PA300059

Emma + me looking beautiful in our new rubber facewear. I have a ridiculous amount of masks..!

PA300076

Meesh + me

PA300081

PA300082

Love this shot – it’s so 60s!

PA300093  PA300100

Vampire rockstars!

PA300085

Mummy-dogs courtesy of Samantha.

PA300088

Sam + Arivind looking ever so cultural.

PA300105

PA300092

We many times felt compelled to have a big hearty ‘HA HA HA’ while patting our tummies.

It’s the moustache effect!

PA300119

Some kind of Zorro (me) + Mrs Dracula (Emma).

PA310132

My favourite Halloween decoration was the cobwebs I put all around the room.
They were so much fun to put up.. you have to pull and stretch them heaps, in the right directions to get the ‘perfect’ cobweb.

I also stuck a whole bunch of glow-sticks on the walls along the stairs.

But the bestest bit was the climax keyring. It’s this little thing with two buttons – you press one and it lets out a LOUD sound. Of a woman orgasming. It’s got ‘three different orgasms’ and each one goes on for ages!

Anyhow, we taped up the keyring against the front door outside and had a sign saying ‘press me’

It was hilarious every time someone arrived.. or came..
