53 - hiking up lion's head

its weird how ive seen so many awesome places in the world, yet i stayed in cape town for a few months and not once did i ever stop getting amazed by the place. it was just that beautiful. i was even more amazed when i saw it from a different view - on top of lion's head mountain. the same mountain that i see each and every day because i have a great view of it from my flat. it was also the first time ive ever climbed a mountain from bottom to the very top. it was wild! and very worth it once i got there. the view from the top is just as esquisite. just when i thought cape town couldnt have been more beautiful...

conquering lion's head peaks at 669 metres (2,195 ft) above sea level

finally reached the top! view from both sides were equally magnificent.

cape town looks beautiful from up top.

at the edge of the cliff for a photo-op, and of course getting my asian on (lol)

beauty

its such a shame that my photographs can't capture the true essence of how spectacular this was and how happy and liberating it felt to be there. i wish i can share that, but unfortunately these photos will have to do. click to images to enlarge.

52 - for art's sake !

ive done plenty of great photoshoots while i was in capetown. i pretty much made a whole new portfolio. i cant remember how many photoshoots ive done in total, it's been that many. ive also shot in different parts of the world and those ones have always been my favourite. every shoot ive done out of country always had a great story that ties in with it. here's one of them...

[L] yes, we were doing makeup "on location" which happens to be the streets!

[R] wardrobe change in the car! one time i wish i wasnt so tall with such long limbs...

[L] i love doing silly outtakes, theyre the fiercest! lol

[R] cast and crew shot!

[L] on lookers and passerbys watching me do my thang! the crowd grew and grew it was funny :p

[R] the crowd to the left are a group of asian tourists watching so closesly - they even took their own pics!

im doing beauty shots, but as you notice my toes are still pointed.

the pics turned out amaaazing, almost anime like. this was the last look of the day (out of 3).

how much luckier can a girl get? doing one of her favourite things to do in one of her favourite places, which not the average person can do and where not a lot of people i know have been.

life is great.

these guys are CRAAAAZY to say the least.

below is a video to prove it :)

the start of a another endless night of debauchery

we partied at jade nightclub (rightfully so on a thursday) and we passed by this new club that just opened and it looked pretty 'happenin'' so we checked it out. no cover, line bypass and all!

felt bad for the bruhs waiting in line...

i dont think i made it home that night. all's i know is that it was 4am and we're on the street somewhere figuring out where to go next. then a chick in lingerie opens the door thinking she'll have a boy suitor on call, but instead it was a major BURN. she threw us out. awesome times ! she hated me eversince.

meet "boy next door" craig. my girl sanny finally got one and he's awesome !

thirdwheel at 31, but didnt mind it. i danced like a butterfly all night long !

these drinks were SO good, made specially for us, so there's no real name for it i dont think ?

[L] he is on FIYAAH!  [R] our ride waiting for us :)
