I dont know who he is, but he is gorgeous. Taken off lookbook, of course.
Before i start of my daily rant about everything and nothing, i would like to share several money can't buy discoveries. Uhh, because i can.
I found this company which sells basic phamaceutical products like plasters and aspirins in adorable packages. It's all a gimmick i know, but a very smart one indeed. The page i linked is one of the features on their website. Please try out each and every HELP, they are priceless!
And since when consumerism is about products nowadays? Everything is about selling the concept.
Drew Barrymore for Guess?, 1993.
When we pay for something, we're not just purchasing it for it's utility. We're buying the idea, the lifestyle, the package, the whole kadoodle. It's a futile obsession about what's what and who's who that we need to break out of.
For strength, i recommend this link that Angelin sent me.
Because she's just so wonderful like that.
Today i am going to tell you where i buy my books because i want the world to be devoid of disillusionment. The only way you can achieve enlightenment is by reading. Screw yoga screw reality tv screw school.
The pictures featured on this blog like the one of Yi Pin over here were taken in some dingy secondhand bookstores in Chowrasta market, Penang.
I love this place because of its atmosphere. The dust, the bugs, the stifling air, the indian uncles.
But i prefer buying my books here because
a) they're cheap
b) well organized
c) new!

Yesterday i watched a French film called Le Fabuleux Destin d' Amelie Poulain. Starring the stellar Audrey Tautou You probably know her from The Da Vinci Code,
You can find the movie on youtube, please do not go another day without watching it. It is truly magical. I shan't spoil it for you, like i do so often, by given you detail accounts of the plot. I beg of you to please watch it.
The movie honestly made me think. I think this past year has changed me so much, not just in terms of hairstyles, which i seem to obsess so much about.
I think my character has become so diluted that sometimes i don't even get me anymore. Melissa told me yesterday that lately she has been feeling old and, what's the word she used? ahhh...pensive! I tried to be consoling but what she said was a haunting echo of what i've been thinking about lately.
18 really is a sweet age to be. I remembered how spontaneous and reflective i used to be. I created. I wrote more, i drew, i took pictures of things that really mattered to me regardless of whether or not it was artistic or pretty, i made music, i held proper conversations, i travelled.
Making more friends. Getting distinctions in tests. Having more clothes. They are just illusive forms of happiness that lure you away from what you want to be. Am i asking for too much. I just want to be Aimee, and lately im becoming something else that i sometimes can't recognize. People i;ve known for ages find it foreign to talk to me.
I used to be proud of who i am. My weirdness and odd behaviour. But have i joined the single file? If this is growing up, then sorrymomsorrygod, i don't like it very much.
Photography used to be so honest and personal. With my K550i that was so cruelly taken away from me. Now i'm just known as the girl with the camera who'd update your shit on facebook so make a funny face, she's going to snap one right now!
Don't get me wrong. I like updating photos on the internet, it makes them somewhat everlasting. But don't use me like that. Don't put me in your little pigeonholes and unconsciously bribe me to make you look pretty.
I don't mean to sound so pissed, im not even in an angry mood. I just need a release. Maybe i need another vacation alone.
I got this necklace in Batu Feringgi for rm15. Angelin picked it out. Love it.
I am going to realign my perception today. I will model my own sense of justice. Stop trying to please people i don't even like. Love intensely. Smile truthfully. Read passionately. Discover curiously. And never be predictable.
Btw, i've always envisioned my future house to look like this. Remarkable.
I also want to get this tattooed someday,
(as in the plane. Not the content of the book)
As a reminder that the world is too big for your mind to grasp, for ever drop of knowledge that you do obtain; there's another ocean of shit you have yet to find out.
I wonder if my mother'd approve. DONT WORRY LAH MA, I have no money. My brother said she had fits when she found out about the 1st one, though she was a picturesque pinnacle of zen in front of me.
