In Search of a Flower Over the weekend, Mum arrived home from her jungle walk to share that she had found an incredible flower. As she was photographically unarmed, we decided to revisit the track with her (a camera in hand, of course!) It was a ten minute trek into the jungle, and it was [...]
Temburong National Park What an adventure of a day! We ventured deep into the Brunei jungle; to the national park, Temburong. To reach Temburong, you must travel by coffin boat. The name is certainly enough to make you wary, but it is actually due to the coffin-like shape of the boat (much to my relief!) [...]
Sand, Sand, & Surf Have you ever been to a beach on a Monday Morning? Today was my first time ever! We were slightly too tardy to see the sunrise, but nothing beat having the beach all to ourselves. It has always been one of my favourite Brunei beaches – though it has certainly been [...]
The Kampong Ayer Brunei is host to one of the worlds largest water villages. It is located next to the CBD, and is full of rickety wooden bridges, which are both extremely fun – and terrifying (!!) to walk over. The Kampong Ayer has a lot of charm, both with the buildings and the people! The locals [...]
Please Don’t Feed the Plants! Pitcher plants have always been a huge fascination for me. They are a carnivorous plant which stores sticky nectar in it’s vase shaped form. Ants wander inside, and bam! That’s it! As a child, I would love to peek inside to see whether they had caught anything or not. On [...]
& A Soda Pop Playsuit… We recently took to Christchurch’s Port Hills to create some pretty video content. We blew up 50 balloons (luckily there was a bicycle pump handy!) but 3 popped before we even made it onto the hills! It was such blustery weather; perfect for lifting the balloons high off the ground. [...]
Flowers, Flowers, Flowers Today I made the most wonderful discovery; there is a secret garden behind my house! I have often admired the tops of the plants from my window, but it is only since the flowers have bloomed that I have realized what it is. I have always been fascinated with the notion of [...]
Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats The last few weeks have been spent with me fantasizing both about my trip to Brunei, and of course, what I’m going to wear! There have been many beautiful AW collections released recently, and despite Brunei’s sweltering heat, I couldn’t resist putting them on my lust list. Nadinoo struck a particular [...]
Stripes at the Stream… I truly can’t get enough of the wonderful Spring weather! Today it was a whopping 21° celcius; the perfect ease-in for the 30°+ weather I’ll be experiencing next week! Excited doesn’t even begin to cover it! To keep cool, we spent the day relaxing next to a secluded little stream near [...]
Hat, Please Stay On My Head! I truly couldn’t believe how windy it was today! I made the decision of pairing my 90s dotted dress with a bowler hat, which of course resulted in me clutching at it all day to keep it on my head! On my lips I wore a MAC lipstick in [...]
