16 - life = work and party

if you wanna get with me there's some things you gotta know. i like my beats fast and my bass down low...

im not even going to justify the frequency of my updates! but here's another one :)
just a melange of anything and everything.

mmmm..marmite :) this one's dedicated to my family!!

taekwondo dojo - i miss training so bad. i wanted to join this dojo but it's quite expensive :(

getting my daily dose of UV rays - im 10x darker now :S

this was a stolen shot but i thought it'd be funny to put up anyway

wardrobe on set

(behind the scenes on a photoshoot)

look at all these accessories! i was able to wear one of those nerdy glasses for a couple of shots. so excited!

yes, they served us beer...

actually the office we shot at is well stock of liquor and food!

would love to work with them for real :)

they even have a virtual golf course in the office!! holy moley.

the office view.

clock works.

super ironic doing a shoot in an office. they even use the same phones i use in my office too :)

felt right at home at this photoshoot, that's for sure!

after work party.. i think? i cant remember anymore when there's a party errrrdaaaayyy...

trading a picture for drinks :p

15 - the rich and famous

it's been a long time, i shouldn't have left you. without a dope beat to step to...

sorry for the lack of posts! i guess ive just been having fun living it up here, and i havent found the time to go to the internet cafe to post photos. im pretty much 3 weeks late with the photos but i'll try to catch up. also, the weather is getting to me (heat wise - sorry toronto!) so ive been feeling lethargic and i dont know if it's true what they say about living by the ocean that gets you really tired, but that's what it's doing to me :S

anyway, im glad that im finally back on track and sharing some photos with you.

me with the german twins

VIP treatment

SA's fave band - "goldfish"

party people

jan and i doing the zoolander pose - how typical! :p

obviously very intoxicated by this point

team germany

some famous rugby player everyone was taking a pic with and

he was in our party so i thought i'd take a pic too, why not!

charlie's angel featuring ester as cameron, eva as drew, and me as lucy lui :)

(the lighting on this shot is not flattering!)

so this night was an interesting one. we were rubbing elbows with the rich and famous and it had its perks. at this point we're already good friends with the club owner, we were having bottle service with famous sports stars, and SA's most famous band's manager was very friendly with us. everyone was too drunk to drive back home so the band manager took us home in a cab and said that it's best to leave our car in the parking lot and pick it up in the morning. he picked us up in the morning in his BMW and drove us to the parking to pick up our car. we were afraid of the overnight fee, but when we approached the parking attendant, he said, "go ahead, it's already paid for. have a great day!" it's great meeting the right people :)

yes so this is just a boring party pix, but it's part of my life here so i had to share it. more soon!!
xx.

14 - day to day

im becoming more and more familiar with my surrounding each day. im glad that im more comfortable with everything from public transportation to walking around all on my own. the beauty about going about on foot is that you see the nooks and crannies of the city that you definitely will miss if you drive around. sure it's more convenient to go from point A to point B with a vehicle, but walking on foot will give you the micro perspective of things. just sayin...

so with that said, here are more random photos i snapped just here, there and everywhere :)

different shops around green market square

(i wish i can take some of these souvenirs home)

masks

i heart south africa :)

having a drink at green market square

lovin the mid-afternoon patio weather

the view from where i was sitting

pretty coloured buildings!

i found this shop just a few walks from where im staying.

super cute and sweet things they have!

pretty right??

too bad i cant remember what the place is called :(

dainty tea cups - love!

the infamous "canal walk" mall

all shoppers must visit this place at least once.

not the tall building but the short building, is where the shops are

stopped by at the food court and had these yummy calamari!

i was sooo craving! i had the peri sauce with it *salivates*

i had to pay tribute to my favourite drink (lol)

@ beach road. on my walk home from the gym - just before the sunset
