Nocturnal...

I have succeeded in messing up my internal clock so much that I'm officially nocturnal. I cannot seem to keep my eyes open during the day, but as soon as the sun sets I'm wide awake.
I think I can become a vampire hunter and save the world from the Twilight cast... No more sparkly vampires and the world will make sense again.
Time to go to the other side of the world so that I can sleep at 'normal' times again...

Being awake at night does have its perks... I think
Hong Kong isn't a very quiet place, but nights are quite peaceful and it's amazing to have relative silence.
Also, I can catch up on some reading and movies that I haven't watched yet, or the ones that I feel are worthwhile to watch again. Shawshank Redemption and Corpse Bride are the two favourites for the time being.

Time to find some movies and maybe I should start looking for some popcorn, I have some ling nights ahead of me...

This is what happens to me when the sun sets...

I think it's love...

Today I did a shoot in the most beautiful clothing...
I just fell inlove with Louis Vuitton...I was never the biggest fan, but sometimes love takes a while to develop... Now my cash flow will be at the mercy of stunning shoes and handbags...

Here's to good food!!!

I have noticed that my life revolves around food...
Call it an obsession if you will...

Food!!! A bit of everything.

Custard and salted egg... Dumpling heaven.

Pretty coffee

 A place to get"normal" food

Survivor...

I survived another fashion week without too little damage.
I have to admit the shoes were a tad uncomfortable, but nothing is impossible...
It was a different experience as we got cake one day for lunch (best lunch ever) and the clothes are a tad more outrageous than what I'm use to, but still an awesome week (4days)

The dressers are so sweet, that it was no effort at all to change from one outfit to the next, even if it did involve numerous accessories and crazy shoes.

The rehearsals were murder though, full dress rehearsal three rimes in a row, just to make sure that we don't run out if music. Bridal and evening wear shows are tricky.

Today I also did a bridal shoot...(Can you spot the pattern? If not, apparently I have a very sweet face and it works well for bridal, so much for being edgy)
I think that after all of this, I'm going to get married in jeans and a t shirt, I have seriously tired on every type of dress under the sun...

It's rather difficult to find images of fashion week here, so I can only find some of the outfits.

Fashion week...

Fashion week in Hong Kong is upon us...
I had my first fitting today and the clothes are interesting to say the least...
 I'm just a bit worried about the uber fluffy platforms...
How am I going to walk in them without breaking an ankle???

Fashion week fittings take two and a half hours, but it's for more than one designer. Rather efficient I think.
 Tomorrow is going to be a bit of a bigger test as I have a fitting, lunch break and then full dress rehearsal and the show is only on Tuesday... What a long day... And rehearsals are annoying, Seriously it's not that difficult to walk down the runway, stop, turn around  and walk back...

Part of the job I guess, including the blisters, damaged hair and breakouts.
All for the love of fashion...

Another commonplace SA occurence...

How awesome is South Africa's postal services?
I wait forever to get that package after strikes, public holidays, the ANC youth league creating their usual chaos...and then... all the expensive things are gone! INCLUDING my Jelly Tots!!!!
Who in heaven's name steals Jelly Tots???
Seriously, it just got personal on so many levels... No one touches my food, especially not my candy!!!!
And then it's jelly tots... You can't find jelly tots in the USA and Asia... (I'm going to sulk about it)
there is just no sweet release...

Oh well, moral of the story... someone, please contact my GP in SA and ask him to prescribe jelly tots as chronic medication  so I can actually get hold of the stuff...

Happy new year....

Dinner at the Victory kitchen.

The chicken looked a bit weird, but it tasted really good

scrambled eggs and oysters...

the best fish ever

Me and Shir, waiting for the countdown to begin

Hello 2011

feeling lonely? Get a free hug

A very interesting end/start of the year.
I ended up going to a restaurant that I would never have even considered to go to on my own.
Not that I would've been able to order much as nothing on the menu was written in English.
They did provide pictures though, but it's a tad difficult to distinguish between fried foods...
So thanks to my roommate I didn't get too lost and confused.

After dinner we decided to go to Victoria Harbour to look at the fireworks at midnight.
It was super beautiful even if we were on the wrong side that didn't have the best view.

May 2011 be a fantastic year to all
