It's my fairytale.

Enough of heartbreaks child. I write my own fairy tales from now on - beginning with this antique book clutch. :)

Surviving Wednesday.

  

 

It has been one helluva week. I am surviving. 

Happy midweek everyone. I know Wednesdays are the hardest to get by.

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

If you are not wearing green on St Patrick's Day, you will get pinched by someone who is. 

These shots were taken in the middle of the city, Kota. Initially, we were suppose to visit the textile and ceramics museum. But they were closed by mid day and to be honest, I was a little bummed about that. I have been in the city for close to 8 months now and I haven't had an opportunity to explore Jakarta like a tourist. As much as everybody doesn't want to do the mainstream, I guess a Singaporean side of me yearns to be a safe explorer and trot the world using TripAdvisor's tips. 

Incidentally, we stumbled across this dilapidated old dutch colonial house. It was run down to it's ruins in the most beautiful way imagine. The architecture of the stairways leading up to the verandah, detailed columns, colourful blown glass window panes, mosaic tiles brightening up the greyish atmosphere. The whole experience could be gala ball, all that was missing was a massive spring clean, a great big crystal chandelier and elite people putting on their Sunday's best. 

Now wouldn't that be nice?

Bringing back denim on denim

 

Sleeveless Denim shirt: Vintage Levis | Denim Jeans: Vintage Levis 501 | Wide Brim Fedora: Cotton On | Felt Boots: ASOS | Tartan Bow: ASOS

In a blink of an eye, the calendar flipped its pages to March now. I don't really know where I stand about the time that is passing us by too quickly. Whether or not I am happy and satisfied with where I am at current days. I hate being here, but at the same time I am excited for a lot of things come April. Already, it looks like I will be traveling to a couple cities for work and leisure within this month. Judi is so ready to explore!!

Bandung last weekend was pretty amazing and disappointing at the same time. Amazing for the weather and disappointments from the shopping. But I guess it is probably because I went without an open mind. But the weather was capitals A-C-E. It was really nice just getting out of this pit hole, Jakarta.

Talking about brilliant, I found these pretty dope sleeveless denim shirt from Levis dated back to 1970s. It was pretty musky when I first had them, but a few rounds of bleaching and hand washing did its trick. And as always, the denim trend stayed by me season after season. James dean would be so proud of me.

Sincerely,

Judi

Something different.

 

 

 

Can you remember the last time you did something spontaneous, something that caught you off guard and surprised you? I feel as though my life is the same shit, different day. I am too young to be this bored! 

I have been hating how much I am traveling (once or twice a month) to and fro, Jakarta - Singapore! When I surf the web for cheap air fares back to Singapore for the weekends, I would steal a glimpse at the fares to Japan, Bangkok, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Europe, you get the gist... At times, the fare would at a ridiculously affordable price and temptation would wriggle through the tips of my fingers to click on the icon that says "book now". But never had I once succumb to it these past 7/8 months. (Ok, don't include M'sia and Bali, it was my birthday!)

Confused? Don't be. 

How could I put up with myself to spare that extra hundreds of dollar to be at these places when I could be back in Singapore to be with my family and friends? I spent an inordinate amount of my time whining about the things I am possibly missing out. But sometimes, it seems as though I have maxed out my potential in these 2 countries and all I really wanna do is travel somewhere else. Absorb the culture of where that place has to offer. Right now, I am probably too paralyze by guilt to do anything about it now. 

Sincerely,

Judi
