The End of Quick Jaunt

O M G, it’s already nine of March and I just had one post for this blog? Had no idea why I’m bloody lazy lately. Yikes. Hopefully this could be a good start to post another. Hopefully :)

This post is an end of this and this.

In our last day I’ve told my sister that I really wanted to visit Potato Head in the afternoon. Before that, we decided to check-out from hotel at 9am and went straight to Beachwalk again. To be honest it was my idea :P yup just because I wanted to get some pieces of Topman there (No, just because Topman hasn’t opened yet in my own city :( and a little secret of me : I love Topman!!). After I got some pieces home, we sat down in Nanny’s Pavilion for too-early-snacks, sweet for my sister and I chose sour and crispy fried calamary. Oh, the waffle my sister chose was such a guilty pleasure. Here some iPhone snaps from our too-early-snack-time.

If you still remember that I and my sister wanted to have lunch at ‘Warung Itali’ on day 3 and failed, finally we went there again in our last day. I tried their lasagna, with stir-fried mushroom and slices of baked potato. It wasn’t bad for an affordable Italian food though yet I wish we had longer time to spend to try their heavenly pastas. Just an iPhone picture from Warung Itali (my sister didn’t order anything, just a bottle of Sprite! can’t you imagine :P).

After Warung Itali we went straight to Potato Head Beach Club, one of the happening-cool-beach-club in Bali right now. It was one of main place I wanted to enjoy in Bali after Rock Bar. I don’t want you to call me a cool kid (haha) by spent time there, don’t get me wrong. I just wanted to see the architecture of Potato Head, plenty old vintage windows arranged beautifully as the landmark, designed by Andra Matin and the vibes of the beach club itself. We really should take lunch than just some sweets, it was because we had flight to go home by 4pm so we didn’t spend too long at Potato Head. We just ordered sweets apart of fries, chocolate milkshake and orange juice, it was chocolate mousse called ‘Valrhona chocolate mousse with sea salt caramel and chocolate chilli ice cream’ (ugh long name, it was for me) and an exotic mango…something something (in fact, I couldn’t remember the name what was my sister ordered :P). There was vanilla ice cream with mango cream and lychee foams (??? O gosh I had bad description, pardon me :P). Conclusion : The sweets were yummy indeed, price talked by itself. Coming there by 1pm in the afternoon wasn’t bad to enjoy the vibes, wish I had more days in Bali I wanted to enjoy a sunset and an evening there. Really. Oh they have different classes of order though, If you really want to enjoy the vibe in the front space where you can enjoy the swimming pool and the beautiful beach, you have to order minimum $60 if I’m not wrong :). Some snaps from Potato Head.

This sentence probably sounds cheesy yet I couldn’t even believe that the picture above has been reblogged many times on my Tumblr.

Inspirations

Inspirations

I can’t even lie that I’m officially addicted to Instagram and the best thing from that is I can find so many inspirations from so many many talented photographers outside there. Daily!. O really, yes really, they are beyond awesome. I can’t even speak when I found Pei Ketron (I’m going to post about her :))) She’s beyond crazzzzy brilliant photographer I heart!) after I found Alice Gao (No secret that I’m among of her fans :) iPhone picture I took this morning, above, is #inspiredbyalicegao :)).

As a person who still learning, it’s such a simply joy finding some inspirations through the air. Since I started my Tumblr, I found easily Instagramers’s wowed site I’ve followed along. Here some my favorites you should put attention too like I do :

The easiest way to learn photography is to pay attention to them and keep shooting with your own camera, afterwards, keep learning and find your own style :)

Aw did I mention that those sites contain wowwide photographs? with clean and crisp background (dreamy blog that I always love so much!) Yihaa, you eyes will be pampered!

Happy Friday folks!

Azis.

An Afternoon Tea

AfternoonTea1

I always remember the vow I’ve made ; after work hard, there is a good food in a good time for myself as a reward. Today I paid my dues. Just had a tight Sunday to chill my mind from all physical and emotional obstacles after three days worked non stop (valentine season at office was mad). Went out to cinema at 10am (Robocop wasn’t bad :)), and passed at my fav bakery for take-home-sweets. I just thought that An Afternoon tea wasn’t a bad idea to give me small blithe on Sunday.

Last week Sunday I tried to capture the sweets ; dark choco cake, cherry cupcake, mango mousse, red velvet cheese cake and sandwich, plus strawberry, I was excited when I looked at them arranged yet I was pulled a long face when I realized all of them weren’t good enough for this blog (first pic after this sentences was the only iPhone pic that shows those sweets together). Today I decided to repeat the moment with another sweets ; Dark chocolate cheese cake and round eclairs filled with coffee cream, and wheat croissant. Oh, almost forget to mention a scone.

Scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam was good. Just because I couldn’t get a particular strawberry jam from market, I made it from four strawberries, fifteen blueberries, a little unsalted butter, sugar and lime (I had no lemon today). Beside the fact that I love how the color of strawberry and blueberry married, the taste of clotted cream and strawberry jam was tasteful.

P.S. Please don’t judge me for this simpler version of afternoon tea. I wish I could make it as proper as British does, maybe someday, when I have a chance to enjoy an afternoon at Harrods I will share it with you :) or on some spots around London like here. The ambiance, cutlery, and those sweets! Cakes! Scones! Oh I’m a dreamer. 

Breakfast & Brunch

Just a few pictures I snapped for my Instagram this morning. I was quite grafetul for fruits and veggies I had last two days. This such a small revenge for junk foods I had eaten last week.

And small take-away-brunch I brought to the office yesterday was a simple sandwich. Today, I had the sweet one (oops, is peanut butter part of junk-food? :P, excuse for small spread on my wheat bread). Behind the scene from this messy-morning-on-my-table :P

Instagram

Instagram has become an apps that I just love it so much since I had an account and finding great people with wow deliberate pictures everyday just another side of how Instagram works. I can see how people record their daily life with pictures. I think its so amazing how an apps makes you see the borderless world what is happening.

Recently I just love playing instant editing on my iPhone after I capture thing. Like these pics, a small flower I found at floristy, found lovely natural light and captured on different backgrounds ;

Because of Instagram, I could find so many inspirations from amazing people everyday I wake up. If you are in instagram, you can find amazing people that I followed along and sure they’ll give you inspiration to capture beauties everyday.
