december 2013 - tokyo and bali!

















bali blogshop modeling




en route to narita airport...i thought this looked like the ending scene out of the film Mother/Madeo where the mom was dancing wildly in the bus to forget her misery!




cm's magnificient salad. i didnt eat it, i just took a photo


library cafe that made a lovely reading spot


insane massage experience for 15 sgd O.O i love bali









the sun setting over bali...the loveliest view before the most traumatic evening




creepy ass beach i loved/feared. i swear the rocks took the shape of dripping dead babies and mummified stuff...right??


























lol my life





bali isnt complete without a pork rib pilgrimage















balinese offerings


bali buddha food :') don't order the pure veg smoothies tho tastes like they blended mud and grass together


i love you nasi goreng.














the exterior of sea circus!


biku for high tea + tarot card reading lol 




the wild and crazy motel mexicola


yamanaka farm milk ice cream - ate two despite lactose intolerance, but for you a thousand times over
















3 hour queue for daiwa sushi...i don't even eat sushi but this was real good




hands down my favourite place in tokyo - ukai 


seriously lovely view from the room, but with an added filter to make it more lovely lawl




another ukai in the day!



1 slab = my part b allowance. so good but never again, these kind of prices for food is just too crazy!



crazy nice tree at meiji shrine


meiji shrine = 2nd best place in tokyo!




tokyo on new years.







best unagi i've ever eaten. at 80 a plate for the small set even if it tasted like shit i'd convince myself it was the best i've eaten lol





sorry my photos are all over the place! i had no idea how to make them come out sequentially....in any case december was really nice, the hectic moving around in japan was followed by a relatively sedentary existence on my favourite island. i really like bali, (yes the tourist bali). its the perfect place to be alone in. i'd love to stay there one day.

some reflections for the new year:

i swear i had many thoughts about this but sitting here at this point and typing this, i really can't remember much. offhandedly:

1) be kinder but take less bullshit from people, not do things or serve people i don't believe in, try not to succumb to cruelty or selfishness, to never accept things without questioning. to always have the courage to stop, apologize, and start over.

2) treasure the good people in your life. its hard to always come across good, genuine people that care so if you find them, never let them go. probably some of my favourite advice. also, i've been told that i take a bit of time to warm up to new people. so this year i'll probably want to work on that. the times this year where i've reached out to new people have turned out some surprisingly effortless and genuine conversations that i really enjoyed.

3) read even more, shed the negativity, stay curious and brave.
