i went to bandung, indonesia earlier this month with my friends. probably the cheapest trip i've ever paid for. photos were taken at the volcanic crater called tangkuban perahu. the main reason why i wanted to go to bandung was to stand on a volcano because i have never done that before. it was really cool to be standing on top and knowing there is or was some hot lava below you. didn't really do much shopping because i have too many clothes. i experienced traditional javanese massage. well, i didn't really like it that much. i think thai massages rule.

bandung is a beautiful place. incredibly nice people there. and everything there is so cheap.

ok anyway, tokyo in a few weeks!!! can't wait!

i'm planning to make a trip back to ho chi minh. there is a place down there which is like about 5 hours from the city that i really really really want to visit and i can't stop thinking about it.

and also.. cambodia! i want to take photos of angkor wat.

and... i wanna go for a yoga retreat in koh samui. makes me really excited just thinking of it. it would be so fun. and also... go back krabiiiii! most of my time is spent wishing that i can teleport to phranang beach with matt. and we're planning of going for cooking classes there. learning to cook thai food.. gosh! do you know!? a simple fried rice from krabi tastes so fucking good! you have no idea...

ah so many places i wanna go.

i should have been there. it would have been the best new years. untitled 5 leh... its like rarest of the rare item or like the island in LOST, you can never find it.. FUCK!

let me tell you more about my life...

i just turned 23 and nothing interests me anymore. i get tired easily. i don't love my job. i go to work for the money and to make my parents feel that they didn't have an unemployed loser for a daughter. every single time, i will look for opportunity to get out of this country and see the world. its all i want to do. i have a boyfriend. i feel that without him, there is really no point living. sometimes i feel that i give in too much. people asks me a lot of questions. i just tell them i'm independent. i really like alone time when i make my way home. sometimes, i feel too lonely and i get very sad. i feel like i have lost a lot of friends. i have needs. sometimes i feel like i have to give up my needs for other people, just so that i can be on their good book. sometimes i think that i am taken advantage of. i realized that i am always alone. sometimes, i just don't know what the fuck am i doing just trying to live each day, hoping for a bright future. i ain't got guarantee. sometimes i think bad things are going to happen to me. i am very tired.

Krabi 2012

--

matt and i bought a lantern on our last night in krabi. we made a wish and released our lantern together at ao nang beach. possibly the most beautiful thing i've ever experienced. hopefully our wish will come true. :)

here is to 2012.

THIS SPACE IS NOT DEAD YET.

i'm sorry to whoever that usually comes to this page and sees no new entries. well, there is always my twitter at the side. its not private so its kinda like a frequent skimpy blog post... yeah, excuses. i know its not the same. the truth is: i have been lazy.

nescafe dolce gusto. for the first time ever, i fell in love with a coffee making machine. i just love how you can make different types of coffee like latte or cappucino with this beautiful machine. this makes me have dreams of making my house into a little coffee house so that my friends can come over to relax and have coffee with me. i would totally raid ikea to find cute tea cups and mugs. and then right, i will go back ho chi minh and bring home some of LEGENDEE coffee beans from trung nguyen and a dozen of the filter set (i went to google it and apparently, its called Phin) and then we all can have traditional vietnamese coffee! i will also go back bangkok and get that their thai tea leaves. i remembered they were selling it in one of those drink stalls at the train station. and then we can make thai iced tea! how cool is that! my own little cafe and all my friends can drink for free!!!!!! :D

this is so fun. am starting my own cafe.

in other news, 2011 is coming to an end already and i am so looking forward to 2012. well i think, mostly, because i cannot wait for january. its my birthday month which means i will be going to universal studios again (fuck yeah!) haha. aaaand matt and i are going to krabi on the first week of january. HELL YEAH KRABI LOVIN' !!! i just really love that place. going to swim with fishes and living in paradise with the man i love the most. can't wait! i miss it so much!

well this is not 100 percent confirmed yet but we are planning on going tokyo in april. moshi moshiiii! just talking about it makes me feel really excited. and furthermore, we're gonna witness the sakura flowers in its full luscious form, i think. well i need to do intensive research cos tokyo is going to be a hard one. have you seen the train map?! and how do you read japanese?! gosh. anyway, all thats left is to book the tickets and reconfirm my leave dates and we're on our way. :)

december is coming! very soon its going to be christmas and then the new year. woopiedoo!

this was taken at universal studios halloween horrors late last month. that was matt and i looking as if we're about to give that scary dude a taste of our dynamic duo. don't mess.

almost about a week and a half ago i threw a party at my place. ordered some food, invited all my friends and ordered more food which didn't manage to finish in the end. was too busy refilling the food and everyone's glasses, i didn't even get to take out my camera and/or really catch up with everyone. crystal blogged about my party in her blog :) its in the entry on november 7, 2011. i am really bummed that i didn't take photos at my party. :(

was on leave at that point of time, but for the first time ever in 2011, i didn't do any travelling. well, travel adventures will resume next year. for now, its work, work, work. lame ass shit work. thinking of getting a canon legria camcorder. it'll be so fun if matt and i take videos on our trips. kinda like making our own nat geo adventure show. sounds really fun!

with my parents gone away for a month, i've been doing alot of housework. after my flight just now, i ta-paoed mcdonalds home and ate it in front of the tv. then i went to shower. after which i did laundry, washed dirty dishes which my brother left in the sink, boiled water, hang my laundry out to dry, folded my clean clothes and put them in my dresser and now i'm in my peace-zone. that is: in the living room using my laptop with the lights all dimmed and the radio on using my dad's soundsystem. class 95 plays really sweet music from the 90s and the millenium at this time of the night which i've been doing since i was in poly. this is what i normally do every night. i think i'm the most boring 22 year old out there.

well, boring 22 year old me gotta go to bed now. goodnight.
