[BIRDY] SHELTER

I didn't realize that the one who sings Skinny Love and Shelter is the same person: Birdy. She's amazing. Her voice touches my soul. Listening to her is more like breathing the fresh air in. Lovely. Tender. Sweet. The video clip is so simple but just right. I love the mood in the whole video. 

MAGMA: PRINTED MATTER by KAREL MARTENS

I went to Magma twice and I have to say that the book shop is quite lovely. I have that feeling of going back there for more inspiration. There were quite few books that appealled to me. One of them is Printed Matter by Karel Martens. I love the material as it is printed on uncoated paper and Chinese-bound. The book itself is already pretty and inspiring. I also like the informal caption written in this book. The layout is fun too as images and texts just randomly float on the page but still in order which I love. But yea, I didn't buy the book as the cost is not so cheap and I'm not even sure if it's that practical, so instead I bought The 3D Type Book by FL@33. By the way, I'm so in love with the sandwich bar near by. My favourite chicken and bacon sandwich was only less then 2 pounds and it tastes superatively great (compared to its price). Definitely going back! 

THE FUTURE: IN TEN YEARS TIME,

I don't know exactly what I will be in the next ten years. For me, it's a long road and you never know what could ever happen. I'll be a graphic designer either working as a freelancer or having my own bussiness. I'll be a wife and probably a mother too. I'll go back to Vietnam or Australia or stay here, in London. Or maybe, I'll move to a new country? I'll have short or long hair. I'll wear denim a lot. I'll have little garden in my house where I could lay on the grass and watch the clouds passing by. I'll have a good book, a cuppa tea and smile at the life I've been given.

SERPENTINE GALLERY PAVILLION

Came here with my Oz and my classmates from IIF. I have to say that I like it lot. Again, for me, it's all about the space and atmosphere. I felt in love with the space as soon as I step inside and have my eyes wondering all around. I enjoyed sitting there inside the pavillion, designed by the world renowned Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, have a cup of hot choc, watch the sky and 'smell' the flowers. I also really like the bulbs hanging around this black box. That's kind of the thing I would like to have in my future garden.
