JUMP!

Don't you just love jump shots at the beach?

You can air jump,

Quirky jump,

A pretty jump,

Or even street fighter turbo jumps!

JUST KEEP SIGNING

What do you do when you daydream (Besides doing next to nothing)? 

My colleague told me she'll keep on signing and signing to fill up the whole page! I think that is rather a fine idea, and maybe that's how brands are created? Like how Steve Jobs did a bite on an apple? So one evening I literally lie down an entire hour, do nothing but signing. I even Google searched some famous signatures like President Obama's and Michael Jackson's!

Until I got the perfect signature!

After that, I scanned a few of my favourites and redrew it on the computer.

I'll choose the winner and place it on the blog banner!

Crazy, I know. But it's really inspiring in a way, try it yourself! It might kill your brainstuck moment, it might turn out something from nothing. And who knows, a future brand will pop out just like that!

xo.

HAPPY THINGS

Shocked by this gentle giant,

Owl that has flower eyes,

Fooling around with my painted fish (Many thought it is real from afar?!),

Mid Autumn lanterns,

The cutest animal shoes,

The grumpy cat next door,



And to never forget this.

TRAVELLING BACK HOME

Last weekend it's finally voting day. We took a week off to fly back to hometown KK and boy, wasn't it hectic! I've heard all sort of crazy ways how everyone is going back home to vote but I really think mine beats a mile! If a bus back to Johor  Bahru from Singapore and a flight from Senai to Kota Kinabalu isn't thrilling enough, because right on the election day brother and I voted at town, and later on we fetched mum at airport (we have different flights, I came first), and headed to Kudat, and that means 3 hours of mountainous journey from KK! Noted all the commas? Ok wait, it doesn't just end like this. After mum voted at Kudat, we took a trip to the northernmost tip of Borneo, then head southeast to stay overnight at Mount Kinabalu, which is another 3 hours trip! Now talk about patriotism and avante garde!


Each time I landed back on this beautiful land I took time to really appreciate how life is much slower and beautiful in its own way here, and to tell myself that I'm always proud to be a Sabahan. Though the election is well... I guess you all know the results, actions and reactions by now. Regardless of how the future may shape Malaysia, this will always be my home. And yes, seeing these pictures below makes really good postcard reminders that there's really no place like home.

Northernmost tip of Borneo at Kudat. If you look at the map, it's the 'dog's ear'!



Wake up real early the next day to catch two things: 1. The latest news of the election. 2. Many glimpses of the breathtaking giant Mount Kinabalu. Obviously option 2 is to cure the reactions of option 1.



Appreciating beautiful little lives while wandering in the woods.



Daydreaming under the chilled mountain trees.



Local flowers that look like that they're bursting with joy and singing cheerfully.



And for the first time in my life (though I've been living here for so long), I saw the amazing Rafflesia! It's a 70cm giant beauty! It took 4-5 years to grow, 9 months from bud to bloom (yes, sounds like pregnant), can't get in touch of too much rain or shine, attaches specifically on a type of tree and it blooms for only 4-6 days! What a princess and the pea!



And no, it doesn't smell like corpse when it's blooming!

LEGOLAND 2

There are so many things to do in Legoland! 

 You can be a mini pilot, 

Boat captain, 

Getting literally splashed! 

Tear your sneakers apart thanks to the walking and soaking, 

Crazy test drive coaster (even when the rain is coming!) 

Head choosing, 

Taking pics with a tall friend, 

Daddy or grandpa can just wait at the benches, 

And really really good photo timing! 

Yup, almost perfect! 

LEGOLAND 1

Legoland Malaysia is very near to my parents' house in Johor Bahru, and finally we went there!

 

I made some new friends there! The orang utan and the puppeteer.

 

The snoring castle guard.

 

A colourful pop dinosaur.

 

A hardcore camel that really hurts my butt sitting on it.

 

A stubborn donkey.

 

And it's proven that Einstein has the largest brain of all mankind!

 

Lisa the new student.

 

And being engulfed by Jaw!
