Dakota Crescent, Singapore
Those amazingly cool kids Ant and Stanley from The Little Drom Store were soooooo spot on with the things I would be interested in seeing in Singapore. One day they took me to explore Dakota Crescent, one of Singapore's oldest housing estates. For me this was photo paradise! Potted plants, pastel doors, clusters of washing, faded play equipment, patterned tiles, and hazy light. As soon as Stanley parked the car I think I was like 'Okay guys, I'll meet you back here in three hours'. That Aussie humour...just can't get rid of it. Unfortunately this beautiful little retro community is due to be pulled down and residents have until the end of 2016 to move out.
This kind of reminded me of Culburra, where I spent most of my childhood summer vacations.
The sign reads "Please don't throw cats here". Wahhhhh.
The top of this stone table has a chess board carved out for local residents to enjoy. The faded paint with the pastel pink is just perfection for me.
We walked around, popping up the residential stairways and Ant and Stanley even chatted through the windows with some local residents. MAN I wanted to take photos of that. But luckily you can see what the inside of some of these fantastic apartments look like over here.
Miss you, Singapore! And miss you Ant and Stanley! xoxo
And - love you, Tokyo. It's a grey and rainy day over here in Shimokitazawa. I'm listening to Grimes' new album and relaxing looking out over this gorgeous almost-winter weather. OMG and Koichi got us tickets to Grimes' live in Tokyo! Yassssss! ありがとうこいちさん！Man, and look at this amazing tour schedule. I want a dream schedule like this! Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Utrecht...The dream! And she's also going to Sydney and Melbourne for any Aussie readers out there.
By the way, I'm off to Shiogama next week for a workshop with Birdo Flugas, and then back to Ishinomaki to visit Hiro-san again!

The first #HelloHawker
This is my first ever #HelloHawker lunch using my new melamine from Singapore.
Sure, the lemon wedge probably didn't need it's own bowl, but I couldn't resist adding that coral colour to the setting.
In this amazing Tokyo autumn light was - Miso with wakame and toumyou. Egg with dill to remind me of my trip to Lithuania. Organic vegetables from the farmers markets. Tuna so I could run 6kms this afternoon. And lemon so I could use the coral bowl hah.
Hope you had a nice day, Sandwiches! It's so nice to be back to blogging again!

Colourful houses in Singapore
Sandwiches!
Singapore is sooooooo beautiful!
Stanley and Antoinette (pictured above) from The Little Drom Store took me around on what we came to call the 'instagram tour' and showed me so many pretty houses! There was so much to see, with such little time, and on one occasion Stanley even pulled out the car before I had closed my door. Ha ha. It was literally the ideal tour for me. GET THE PHOTO! LET'S GO! NEXT!
I mean, these pretty colours! Do you die?! Soooooo cute!
Most of these photos were taken with my Fujifilm X100T in the Joo Chiat area which is ridiculously pretty. The tiles, the colours...I basically walked around with my jaw dropped to the ground.
