10 - the night life

i tried to upload my video just now and it didnt work :(
so more pictures will have to do for now...

all glammed up; ready to paint the town whatever colour we want!

St Yves club - still sober...

first drink. they have cabanas outside the club.

the view of the club is of the ocean (like everywhere you go around here!)

i wish i took more pix of the place bc it's such a swanky club.

a stolen pic from club photographer

with jack - the owner of the club!

smooching with the owner and got free drinks all night long!

getting down.

notice the absence of any asian people.

white girls cant dance... i show 'em how it's done.

i dont remember this being taken...

(he's an actor from new york apparently?) 

VIP bottle service (or whatever is left of it)

that's how we roll...

my vision after one too many drinks...

party people!

SA knows how to party :)

paris & nicole gone wild...

9 - beach day

here are some more  pics uploaded from my camera, so it's somewhat better quality. im not the best photographer, but you cant really go wrong with snapping a picture and capturing the essence of cape town. of course the pictures will never do justice, but i'd like to share it anyway. enjoy!

driving along camps bay

mansions situated on the mountains.

i would consider retiring here! or maybe buying a time share?

outside victoria wharf mall

table mountain is behind me - cant wait to go!

driving to clifton beach.

did you know that the movie 2012 was filmed here??

i see this everyday but im still mesmerized by it each time i see it.

beach day!

i try to stay in the shade as much as possible :p

sorry im not a bikini model....

i love how there are rock formations at the beach.. great location to shoot!

yea mini photoshoot at the beach...cant help it.

...and last one.

till next time!

xx.

8 - zumba!

i had a rough couple of days, but it's getting a bit better now. life here in CT is way too slow for me. it's so chill, which is good in a way, im just not used to it. i think i felt my first "homesick-ness" the past couple of days. but i know that when i get back to the groove of things back home, im going to miss the relaxing atmosphere that CT has to offer.  so i have to actually  try and soak this all in before it's all gone.

i tried the zumba class at the gym the other day! omg it's crazy, but definitely fun. i highly recommend it if your local gym offers the class.  you wont even notice that you're sweating off the extra calories, plus you're learning some pretty good moves. we did some latin, bollywood and african moves. i loved it! it's definitely better to take classes rather than hop on the treadmill. i feel like hamster and i dont feel like it works. another reason why i took the class is because during my castings (ie auditions), i am often ask to do ridiculous things such as dance. the zumba class really helped me the next day when i had to do a choreograph thai dance for lays chips commercial!

ive also been taking a walk around my neighbourhood to just visit the nooks and crannies of the place and see what i can find. we've been eating at less expensive places now (we were weary at first because we didnt want to get sick; although my resistance for that stuff is pretty good). we also visited some local shops and retail therapy definitely cured my aching soul :)

im at the gym's internet cafe right now so i cant really upload pictures but i think i got the internet at home to work so hopefully i can post more pictures later this week. i still have to upload the videoclips i took also. right now im just waiting for the 'body conditioning' class to begin then we're gonna go home and get ready to paaaartyy.

that's right - partying on a thursday night. ONLY IN CT! :)

bisous!
xo.

7 - camps bay

more snapshots from my blackberry torch. pretty good picture quality eh? btw, these are just some everyday photos that i take. we havent really gone day tripping yet. but as you can see, everything already looks so scenic.

short walk to the beach from my place.

street vendor

these are so cool. i wish i can bring some home with me.

or maybe make them myself :)

african crafts

across the street from where we were having lunch

(at camps bay, about 10 min drive from our place)

i heart patio weather!

pizza never tasted so good to me.

my roomie and i having lunch

we went across the street after to take some snapshots.

here's the view on my left.

here's the view behind me (where the restaurant was)

those clouds were crazy that day! but no rain...

me :)

lazy day at the beach

overlooking clifton beach

making our way back.

going to look blackanese when i get back to TO!

6 - out and about

here are some more pictures that i took from my phone. i hope the pic quality is okay. i have yet to upload some photos on my actual camera. ive also been taking video clips so hopefully i can upload that too. we're having difficulties with the wifi at the apartment so i have to do this all at the internet cafe and it's so difficult to convert and stuff. i'll put more details below each pic. enjoy!

more to come soon.



 a view as we drive to victoria wharf mall.

 inside victoria wharf mall. i didnt get to see the entire mall because it was too big! it pains me that i cant really buy much. but most of the stores there are like the big box stores in north america anyway.

 a view of table top mountain just outside the mall's balcony.

a shot from above. below are more shops and restaurants.

not the best shot (it was against the sun - and that piece of hair is totally bothering me!).

we had lunch on the patio overlooking the marina.

our view.

some over-priced pasta but i almost didnt notice because the ambience was too good.

people playing soccer as i walked to the gym.

walking by the waterfront. this family is waiting to watch the sun set.

caught a glimpse of the sunset as i walked home.

"...wish you were here..."
