It's ultimately that feeling of inferiority and failure that wakes me up from my hubristic perfectionism, my superficial conceit; it's the infinitely exasperating realization that you don't reap what you sow. The fleeting fulfillment of wilted achievements fades - like the withering poppy amongst the endless fields of spring blossoms, the waning crescent moon that narrows into no more than the faintest crack in the sky.

And yet, though transient, the the poppy is extraordinarily enticing. Its tantalizing scent will draw me in, and I will once again give into its sweet seduction, my mind reeling, and only to be woken up once again by bitter disappointment.

School's starting on Monday.

Summer.

These were actually taken in May for my art...so glad exams are over. I'm having grilled salmon and spaghetti bolognaise for lunch, yum :) I'll be going to a gig on the 15th, FINALLY something to be excited about! My schedule will be pretty hectic from now on.

Don't you just love holidays?

16/6/10 Inspiration

Mourning for the loss of a valuable friend, who, though living, does not exist anymore.

But then again, humans don't realize how much something is worth until it's gone.

Drop dead gorgeous.

I LOVE FREJA SOO MUCH

she's insanely fierce! only girl i can actually be obsessed with (and somewhat idolize) who wears jeans and a tshirt all the time and and has an inexplicably sexy tomboy style.

PS i stalk her twitter, and i swear Terry Richardson is the a freak/pervert. more later because i need to revise...one more week left!

I adore Patrick Demarchelier and Tim Walker so much I want to buy all their publications and store them in a treasure chest.

And i'm still running around looking for Tim Walker's stern portfolio and his book Pictures!

Morning Beauty

My posts lately only involves editorials and external images...exams are really stressing me out, so all I do now is repost the things that inspire me. Everything will be better after the exams though!

Sasha is so gorgeous. and she has the cutest smile ever!

FREJA

Yess, I am completely in love with Freja.
"Tough Ballerina"
Freja Beha Erichsen by Craig McDean, Interview Magazine April 2010 (yes i know this is kind of late as well!)
There's also another editorial that i really like, which is Dree Hemingway by Solve Sundsbo for Numero's 113rd issue May 2010. I'll include this on another post later on!

I want!

I have this new obsession for maxi dresses now - especially tribal patterned ones like this! It'd look fab with a leather jacket. ahhhh if only i could have the guts to wear something like that in the streets of hong kong. I love the way Sasha Pivovarova styled herself in this picture.

I might be going to H&M soon so I have to buy a maxi dress! Hopefully I'll come across one with a funky/exotic pattern.

I went to the seaside with my family, the view was so beautiful! I love how there are always wedding photoshoots going on in this place. you can actually see the couple in background of the first picture.
school has ended! prom was great and everyone looked good (surprisingly?). I'm going to miss everyone in the year, and i really should start working hard for the exams...updates will be less frequent now!

The Defragmentation of Beauty - editorial

Finally - the editorial by Martin Tsyzka is out! I was so inspired by the video i could hardly wait. This is even better than the video! If only 25 magazine were sold here...
