la belle personne

see: la belle personne (the beautiful person), a french movie directed by christophe honore, starring louis garrel, léa seydoux and grégoire leprince-ringuet. *movie stills from ifrance* i love the cast and the quirky storyline is full of surprises. its quirkiness distincts this movie from hollywood's version of romance or drama. see if you like this. or if you have already seen it, i'm keen to know what you think. and share with me if you've seen any other good movies lately?

matteo cibic studio

see: domsai, cute little "houses" for your cactus designed by matteo cibic studio, an art direction and product design firm based in italy. i want!! whatever you're doing this weekend, have a good one!

RICOR

see: RICOR portfolio, film photographer from taipei, taiwan. yes, film only. i think the pictures speak for themselves.

and it's not too late for a music monday is it? i think i'll create a new tag 'music monday' for audio that i included in a post like this, cause i won't normally tag my posts under 'music' unless the subject is talking about a specific band or song.

*music monday*
hear: always by junip

whitsunday part 2

more photos from catseye beach, hamilton island. love the sun reflection on the water, it feels like you can catch a star in the ocean. also love that the autumn colours rocks, they have shades of yellow, orange, brown and red. all photos are now available on my flickr set if you want to see them.

p.s. i have news to share with you! my final decision is made... that i will be closing down my other blog how's your weekend by the end of this year. i wish i don't have to do this, but sometimes it becomes too difficult juggling in between my daytime work and managing 3 different blogs. so if you'd like to share your weekend photos and stories, hurry up! go on, you know you want to; i've only got 2 months left for this year! i know i keep saying this but yes.. it's still freaking me out that we're already at the end of the year 2010!
