Chuan Looi ; Lid & Let Live Exhibition // June 2014 .

♥ Hello worlddddd! Yes I'm still alive! HAHAHA! Anyway, I'm typing this while i wait for the bf to finish his programming exam. And woah man, this super super overdue entry will be 2 years old when June approaches. I actually kept this post pending for 2 years hahaha what the crapppp. But anyways, let me recall some of the details of this exhibition I went with a friend 2 years back. 

♥ The exhibition was held at Hin Bus Depot Art Centre and it was a exhibition I wanted to see really bad because who doesn't know who Chuan Looi is, like seriously? Chuan Looi takes amazing photos and his works are real gems. I'm not a art person but I do know about the quality of Chuan Looi's masterpieces. He's a amazing photographer and his pictures speaks. Vivid and alive. 

♥ I sincerely hope that anyone of you that is still reading this will enjoy the pictures as much as I do. I think I took pictures of his entire Lid and Let Live exhibition. I can't really remember but I think I did. Enjoy the pictures! ;)

♥ The most amazing part? Seeing Tracy Cheong and Duo Gigs there! Can't believe they're part of his work!

♥ And of course, Nicholas Teo too!

♥ I don't know if you guys will enjoy looking at all these like how much I do but I really hope you guys did enjoy. I have so many drafts pending but I'm not motivated to even edit them and publish them anymore. But I scrolled further and found this in my drafts. And I have to wait awhile for bf to finish so I thought why not? Haha. Anyway, we have come to the end of this post and I can't really say if I will continue updating. Because I'm no longer motivated. 

♥ But I saw my stats and found out that there are still people who comes back to read. You know what, I'm so thankful. Thank you for coming back to read tho this space is like dead now. I hope whoever that is still reading this will find joy in my old posts :) I really appreciate all the support. 

♥ My previous R & R 2015 received alot of views and I'm happy to be able to share the joy with you guys. Thank you for being happy for me. Thank you all for the support. It really means alot :)

♥ Till then, see you guys soon. Tho I can't really promise when will that be. But, I want to take this time to wish each and everyone of you all the best in whatever you're doing or gonna do and please take care! X 

♥ Lots of love, Karen xx

Pre - Award Night 2013 Setup & Rehearsal .

♥ Settled breakfast at McD and head over to Four Points to set up for that night's event . So proud of my council family cuz we basically did everything on our own this year! From designing, drawing, painting and setting up our deco - on our own! Now it seems very ridiculous for a hotel to not provide deco for us right? LOL what type of 'professional' service huh ;)

♥ My greatest honor ;p And 'WHO AM I' was our theme this year :)

♥ Credits to Darren and Stephen .

♥ Busy morning!

♥ Silhouettes all over the venue  

♥ Even at the entrance yo!

♥ Everything's slowly forming into place .

♥ Drawings by our school students .

♥ Silhouettes on the stage as well .

♥ Joshua's hard work .

♥ We then went down to our rooms for lunch and some rest after a long morning . The rooms are good, especially when we have the sea view room! :p

♥ We were so drained that we wanna climb onto the bed and never wake up , I'm serious .

♥ Yung Yue .

♥ Fooled around before getting busy again .

♥ Had rehearsal after we're done with the set up . It went on really long and to be honest, I really felt like leaving the venue and just get home .___. We spent too much time on finale practice and everything's so unorganized >_< But glad that it's over now . I shall talk on Awards Night 2013 soon after I compile all the pictures . 

♥ Till then, see ya in my next post! x 

Travelogue - Bukit Tinggi - Japanese Garden

I'm finally blogging on my Bukit Tinggi trip that happened last August. Went up to the Japanese Garden. Erm, before reaching the top, you actually have to walk quite a distance. So to those who're planning to visit the Japanese Garden, be sure that you're wearing sport shoes or sneakers. No flats or heels plss. Your feet will be majorly damage if you're walking up with heels or flats! ;)

''Step through a rustic gateway and a winding Japanese footpath leads you through a beautiful garden to a waterfall, over a bridge spanning a koi pond and up to a Japanese tea house. Every detail you see captures the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship at its most authentic. Located 3,500 feet above the sea, the Japanese village is the first of its kind outside Japan. The garden was planned and designed by renowned Japanese architect, Mr. Kaio Ariizumi and built by a team of 22 skilled craftsmen from Japan.'' - Source

The pathway to heaven. LOL! 

Sign board.

Souvenir shop.

Very common koi fish flags, erm they're kites actually. 

Here, you get to wear Japan's traditional suit, the kimono. It's really pretty, but the price to wear it for a photograph is even prettier :p 

Japanese Tea House & Garden.

The tea house.

The Tatami Spa entrance.

Unfortunately, it was closed when we were there, so no chance to try it out! Perhaps you guys can go try it and tell me bout it! ;)

Ryo Zan Tei Japanese Restaurant. 

I snapped the menu for you guys, so you can actually know the prices before entering. :D

Night time.

Why does everything seems to be prettier at night? Lol.

When the dark night rises. HAHA

That's the end of my adventure at the French themed village.

Stepping into the French themed village is like living in the fairytale, like a princess living in a France castle. It's really pretty in there. It's really breathtaking inside. I suddenly feel like a French when I was there. HAHA *sorry for the sarcasm* 

But anyway, you guys should really go visit Bukit Tinggi once in a lifetime, tho I might not wanna go back. The journey is too long, plus the food in there is seriously not worth it, honestly. And I'm really sorry for the lack of updates. Yours truly is being really lazy recently. Plus, December is really busy, it doesn't seems like I'm on a school holiday. Hah!

So I'm ending this here. Till my next post, x
