Temples

 







We visited a lot of temples in Singapore, Melaka, Kuala Lumpur and Penang, mostly Hindu, Buddhist and Chinese. Assorted photos. :)

This photo was actually taken ages ago at Jodrell Bank Observatory, hence my wearings the star printed jeans, not that you can tell either from this photo. Horrific rain prevented me taking more photos but rest assured that one day soon I shall return and do a shoot with the big white dishes in. :)

Singapore

So I'm in the far east at the moment on a hockey and netball tour and I'm lovinnnn it. Here are some pictures from Singapore, a beautiful and perfectly ordered city. I mean perfect. Practically evidence for a god that designed the world. Laptop time is limited so posts may be scarce for the next week or so. :)

Cross me

self-made brooch (inspired by this Rookie tutorial) 

Random photos on a theme of crosses. It used to annoy me that crosses are a Christian symbol because I really like their shape but disliked the religious connotations. Worse were the hipster-slash-satanic connotations of upside down crosses. Now I've decided I'm going to enjoy crosses (including in Virgin Suicides and hyper-Catholic Romeo+Juliet ways), but equally pleasing shapes include ankhs and the female symbol (does it have a proper name?). :)

Bharatanatyam

 

 traditional costume for a folk dance from the state of Orissa

my traditional Bharatanatyam costume and stage jewellery

I've been dancing Bharatanatyam, an Indian classical dance, and a variety of other Indian dance styles for about 9 years now. Tomorrow morning I'm doing my grade 4 exam then going straight to the airport for a very long flight! :)

Turns me to gold in the sunlight

top from Van Gogh museum

H&M leather pants (accidentally ripped)

chinese kimono thing from a shop in chinatown

underground creepers

Jesus-like poses in the sunlight to dispel my father's question about whether I was dressed as a goth. In a bright yellow top, honestly. I got a lot of comments and felt like a hipster bat. Score. :)
