Friday Portrait | Week #4

- A little tired in this photo hence the lack of facial expression. 

Hellooooo! Oh. my. god... how long has it been since I last updated? oops. I do apologise for the lack of posts. As you all may well know, my camera is currently in repairs hence the lack of general posts and updates on My Week In Photos, as well as my Friday Portrait. Fear not, I am now relying on my point and shoot camera for now (photo taken with the Canon Powershot S90), which by the way is my all time favourite digital camera! Thank the lord that my SLR is still under warranty and its being fixed promptly. I highly recommend www.fixationuk.com if you have any queries or repairs on your SLR cameras.. their customer service is brilliant and efficient.

Its been a pretty busy couple of weeks so far, and I still can't believe we are already in August! I was looking through my calendar earlier and it has hit me that Christmas is only 4-months away... scary! Anyways, the busy bee that I am at the moment, I have still made the time and effect to do a lot of activities, one being a very informative and insightful event that I attended last weekend called 'Big Screen'. I actually got to see and attend my very first European film premier (blog post coming soon..), which was pretty awesome.

I'm away this weekend, spending it with my boyfriend and his family. We are off to see The Rise of The Planet of The Apes.. I am so excited to see it as word of mouth has been great, especially on twitter ! We are also off to a very stylish Thai restaurant for some well deserved delicious food and drinks. Its been a while since I've had a proper night out, so this one will definitely hit off my weekend. And to add more to my eventful weekend, I have a BBQ on saturday to attend to.. yay! This too, also involves a large *ahem* amount of alcohol intake.. go me!

I'm thinking of changing my blog layout/theme again.. what do you guys think? And I'm also thinking of creating a food blog since half of this blog is dedicated to my food/restaurant posts! yay or nay? I'll update you all when this up and running. 

PS: I've hit 121 followers so far :) big smiles and huge thank you for following! 

PPS: I've changed the size and slightly adjusted the alignment of my watermark.. I think it looks a lot better now!

Leaving On A Private Jet

Don't be deceived by the post title... as if I had a private jet! Feeling a little blue today =( I am seriously indeed of a holiday right now. I've got LA booked in November for a long 2-weeks break for my cousins wedding - I am so looking forward to it and its been so long since I've attended a wedding! 3 more months to endure before I can relax and unwind. I was browsing through some old holiday photos the other day and I can honestly say that I have been so lucky to have visited some great cities in the last couple of years. Looking at the photos brings back some really fantastic memories and I can't help but smile.  And seeing as this is my journal, I thought I'll recapture the moment with you all. 

I went to New york as a celebrational holiday as I graduated from University that year. It was the winter season when we went and it was magical. It snowed for the whole 6-days that we were there. It was the coldest winter that I have ever been through, but it was worth every moment.  The city was like a white canvas.. reminded me of Home Alone 2 :) - don't you just love that film? it was gorgeous and so romantic. The highlight of the trip was definitely the views from Rockefella Center and the walk through Central Park.

Looking back at all the photos is making me crave for a holiday even more! All these memories captured in one little moment :) My next blog post will be on my trip to Paris 2009.

Have you guys been to NYC?
