and so the lion fell in love with the lamb.

so i am officially obsessed with the Twilight series. obsessed is actually an understatement! i am so in love with these books; i haven't been so since the Harry Potters. and of course the movie does not do enough justice to the books however, i will admit to watching it over and over again (i watched it for the 3rd time on my flight from Dubai to KL) just for the beautifully haunting Robert Pattinson. what annoys me most is reading on various gossip sites about people spotting him in pubs in London! grr..just a couple hours away from me. anyways so i just finished reading Twilight this evening and am already well into New Moon. yay for a new obsession! i am ecstatic about the new movie coincidentally coming out right around my birthday which makes me uber happy. anyone know how i can get myself into the New Moon premiere in London? considering the worldwide craze and demand for Mr. Pattinson, it's sadly not going to be easy. but a girl can dream...sigh.

loyal lover.

will i have learnt so very little
when these bones are old and brittle?
i wait to talk when i should listen
and cloud mistakes with false revisions



i was once a loyal lover
whose lips did never seek another's
but now each love is more like a match
a blinding spark that burns out fast

i still believe in fairytales.

city of lights.

i have been majorly slacking lately, i apologize. the last couple of days have been a whirlwind; assessment, presentation, packing, moving, flying for a total of 13 hours, waiting at the Dubai airport for a total of 4 hours and finally landing at home at 9:30 pm last night. it's been a long and tiresome journey, hence my lack of blogging as i haven't been able to find the time. but i am finally home now - the tropical heat is a little unbearable but the surrounding beauty makes up for it. as of now, it's overwhelming yet satisfying to be back at the same time. but i know i need to make the most of these next 4 months before i have to be back in the cold, the gray and the ugly. nonetheless, i must admit that the last week or so in England was simply beautiful, probably the perfect time to be living in the UK. jetlag has been incredibly strange, i'm sleepy throughout the day despite having slept for 13 hours straight last night. but for now, i am loving being back in Asia and so ready to live it up - something i seldom do.

ohohoh one more thing i'm euphoric about - the brand new New Moon trailer that premiered at the MTV Movie Awards last weekend. so beautiful. to add to my new found addiction to the Twilight series. i picked up the first 3 books last week and have not been able to put it down since. hello obsession! nonetheless, Harry Potter will always be my first love. i've grown up with it, after all.

disco stick.

probably one of the best celebrity interviews. ever. and also why Lady Gaga is so kick ass.

micheal oats.

i came across Micheal Oats and his photography whilst browsing through some fashion blogs and fell in love with his style! a little risque, a little vintage and very in-your-face. a few of my favourite shots are from an editorial; Allure.

hop, skip and a week.

it is 1:40 am on a Wednesday and i officially have exactly one week till i leave for home! these days have been passing by painfully slowly and i have nothing extensive or exciting to blog about. well, i have started watching Sex & the City again to pass time (hence the title of my post) and the nerd in me has been occupied with a few documentaries here and there; the latest being Guns, Germs & Steel based on the book by Jared Diamond. i had actually read bits of his book for my Anthropology and World Studies classes back in high school and so was pretty excited when i came across the documentary (don't laugh!). it basically analyzes and explains Diamond's theory on geography being the primary reason for some cultures (namely the Europeans) succeeding more than the others leading to the societal inequalities we find in present day. i actually miss my high school classes; an array of subjects questioning and challenging my brain rather than being bombarded by theories on just marketing and advertising (as much as i like it).

on another note, the weather has been sunny, warm and beautiful these last couple of days which makes me very very happy and want to be outside all the time. there is still a lot to be done before i leave though and i'm so so lazy to get through them all! this has been a rather dull post, some pretty little things on my next one, i promise. oh yes, i changed my header again (the perfectionist in me acting up as always) and i feel Gisele does it some excellent justice; taken from an editorial in Harper's Bazaar Russia June 2007 and photographed by the infamous Lagerfeld himself.
