wake up and smell the roses

i officially do not like london anymore.
it is too busy for even my liking. nobodys in the shops, they are all on the streets! que?
i have officially had enough of living in a flat, in a dusty country with four seasons.
i am quite ready to go home to tropical weather, live in a comfortable house with airconditioning and land to run around with my cats in.

that aside, for now, oxshott is still in my good books. but only because the weather is beautiful. winter over here is tres horrible.
a.daing, qai and mars spent the night here with us yesterday and we had some good fun running around the compound and frolicking in the sun

how many villages could we save, how many watts could we luminate

at glastonbury, i watched jason mraz on stage 3 times. because i could.
i managed to obtain 2 of his setlists out of those 3 shows.
to date, i have watched 8 jason mraz shows.

channeling the idea of one love

in more ways than one, my weekend away at croyde bay was the perfect holiday .
everything id imagine a holiday to be.

i had good company


good weather(even better than forecasted)


a music festival by the sea
(goldcoast surf and music festival)


and of course, jason mraz


we stayed at 'baggy too', the perfect place to stay if you ever visit croyde bay.
nobody cared about the time, everyone felt like family


we slept to the sound of waves crashing and woke up to the warm sea breeze and sights of various animals running around.




but as you would have probably guessed, the highlight of my trip was of course listening to the ever cool modern day hippy that is J, perform live to a demanding crowd.


he was set to perform at 9.30pm, but we were there at 11am, right in front of the barriers to make sure nobody could get ahead of us.

and no one did.


this was my fifth time watching him live, but only my second time being front row.
the crowd was insane and even though i was not able to breathe at times, i stood my guard and made bloody sure my hands had a firm grip of the barriers.
being short asians, by the end of the night we were able to call the security team our friends.

they constantly checked if we were okay whilst having to carry crazy passed out teenagers over our heads.


im pretty sure i wouldnt have lasted the night if i wasnt right in front.
"oh the wait it was so worth it"
i even managed to get myself his setlist


jason mraz, thank you for introducing us to all these beautiful places.
we are forever in your debt.

we will live high, we will live mighty, and we will live righteously



we sleep all day



and we are all fond of hats.



thank you for being our (not so)personal saviour



tmrw ill be off to the worlds largest greenfield music and performing arts festival where jason mraz will be doing 3 more shows.
ill be spending 5 nights in a tent and 6 days possibly trudging through mud and surviving on instafood.
but there will be plenty to do and im sure i will have the time of my life.
wish me luck

send out your ray of sunshine

flight tickets to naples bought! trip to capri and climbing mount vesuvius planned! well sort of.

also,
they DO surf in england!
and amazingly i got myself a healthy sunburn too!




june 22nd 2009!
HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY SEM!!!!



more pictures of lovely lovely goldcoast oceanfest and jason mraz definitely coming soon!

wake up everyone

this place is amazing.
if any of you ever make it to croyde bay, make sure to stay at baggy lodge
i slept to the sound of waves crashing and woke up to the sound of bigger waves crashing.
but i guess what makes it more amazing is the fact that J is here!!!.
will be watching surf / seasport competitions today and just chilling out to the live music by the beach. this is the life
N is also here, hello dreads!

chance, you can leave the light on as a way to remember me
