Love for $5

I bought this gem yesterday at All Books 4 Less - everything in store was $5. You can get this online too but the shipping will cost you an arm, a leg and your soul. A collection of photos from the 1840's right up to the 21st century.

In which we meet Stephanie

My partner in crime when it comes to street photography. We scouted the street of Melbourne looking for interesting people but taking photos of them was a different story. I've yet to grow a pair so these are the only candid shots: 

Favourite dumpling joint. They have the plumpest, tastiest and cheapest dumplings in the cbd.

Busker

The old man and the seat

Yah I dress my dog up as a girl, bite me

Fish Spa

This is a fish spa in Malaysia at Mid Valley shopping centre (not sure). The sensation is crossed between mild electric shocks and pleasant tingling. These fish might look harmless in video but they are intimidating in real life.

Why can't people appreciate the effort I put in to not becoming a psychopath. 

Even my wavy hair will not save me now.

To put it simple, I AM FUCKED. On the rare occasions when things are totally screwed beyond repair I pretend to be happy. I can only hope my positive energy will some how reverse things. I know, how naive but self-pitying only drain whatever is left and looking like a miserable corpse is not chic at all. For what it's worth: I can't wait to see things falling into places because they always do when I put in the effort. [this is not about boys, i'll tell you more when I feel less pathetic]

As you may know I am self centred (the adorable kinds) so I organised my music according to my mood. I have the soundtrack of my life, soundtrack for red wines only, soundtrack of love, soundtrack of the great depression and so forth. At the moment:

Yours truly,
Tam
