Wow.

I have just attended a friend's 60th birthday party.

Weird right? For someone who's slightly over 1/3 of their age to be friends with people around that age group.

How I met them? Through friend's parents, and some are through events, when I wrote some news article. They are reporters I know , and they are around THAT age.

Honestly, I prefer mixing with old people. It's like they are so tired of being mean (if they ever are) or judge mental. Old people are extremely nice people !!! You know how old people or parents, when they reach a certain age and then they mellow? I mix well with that group..

And the grand birthday party I attended just now, was one of the BEST I've been.

Pictures soon...when I am not lazy to take my memory card outta my camera. haha.

Just came back.

AND OH,
I spent last few days SPRING CLEANING my apartment (and it's beautiful spring now in Melbourne :D)  , and my gosh, can't believe I've kept SO MUCH JUNK!!! My living room in Melbourne is really small, and to be able to (find stuff to) get rid of 7 garbage bag size + 2 big boxes of rubbish ...I went speechless.

Anyway, it looks a lot emptier now...but still need at least a week before the whole apartment is open to public. lol. Bedroom to clear this coming week. Donating all the clothes that I don't want anymore :)

:) Happy

It has been a really long long longgggggggggggg time since I won something. And it is best when you least expect it.

Today, is my club's 2nd Year Anniversary celebration. I went there to show some support, without expecting anything in return.

Travelled all the way there, took me an hour...I was late (AS USUAL)...and ate delicious food.

Then came the lucky draw part, and the number of my ticket was called... 017

HEH, super happy. Won an iPod shuffle just like that.  

So I've just uploaded loads of photos :

Hate the new facebook, but I really like the collage of pictures (of my face) up there. Nicely put together :p

♥ it. 

Muffin top ! :(

Didn't go to the gym yesterday and today...worse part is that, I felt chubbier already.

Been working a lot instead, and my body was extremely exhausted.

So was in the mood to watch Biggest Loser Australia 2011 today..the concept this season is really interesting. The personal trainers have to spend the first week, living in the house of the participants (ie obese people), eating what they eat, and not exercising at all.

It was a shocker...when they weigh themselves after 1 week.

All the personal trainers gained at least 5kgs A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy #$@%$#%# !!!

I thought the more muscles you have, the higher your metabolism...some more the personal trainers didn't really eat exactly what the obese people eat..they puked it out..so how?! How did they gain 5kgs in A WEEK!

I don't want to exercise my life away (its really tiring), I want to eat food without counting the calories , so hard to enjoy life ! Either you eat happily and look really sad , or eat like a bird and look good.

Furthermore, in 3 weeks time, I'll be taking 1 week off gym , going for holidays (Sydney and Melbourne)...eating ....not really moving...I don't want to gain all the excess fats I've lost!!!

How to get the best of both worlds? :'(

But tomorrow I am going to the gym for hoursssss , to make up for lazy yesterday and today.

Oh oh, hehehe,

the pants I wore up there..

2 months ago when I was back in Melbourne...I can't even button that jeans pants! It was sooooo freaking tight, even breathing out all the air from my body + sucking the tummy, I just can't button it.

So I brought that pants over to Canberra, I tried it today, and woohoo, I can wear them again! =D Just that I have a slight.."muffin top" . hahahaha. 

Never mind, soon it'll be hanging off my butt like the picture up there! Just wait! 

Going to buy weighing machine soon! Panda and I have been in denial...and didn't dare to weigh ourselves, hence no weighing machine in Canberra at all ! Another 1 more month...I'll be buying it no matter what ! 

A treat!

Woo, its a brand new week, and in 1 week of dieting, you can indulge yourself in fatty / high calorie food approximately 3 times/meals.

Today's Tuesday, and I already indulged TWICE. haha.

Yesterday had fried mihun, curry chicken and fried honey chicken.

Today, =D breakfast ~

At a famous breakie place in Canberra:

Pronounced as "sai lo". Why all these words white people can pronounce when these words sound like chinese, but when we teach them actual chinese words they can't really pronounce. weird. 

CARB & SUGAR HEAVENNNNNNNNNNNNNN :

But even though I let loose a little on my diet, I still eat moderately....(I hope). I don't go entirely crazy with my food and its portion. I didn't eat 3 meals at one go =]

Out of all the choice, I chose ONLY this chocolate thingy :

 T.T The old me would've chose at least 2.

Really yummy !

It's rich and not too sweet. Just nice :o)

Panda's choice:

 Black Forest.

Hehe, even though I only ordered just one Chocolate pie/cheese thingy :

My plate has some smoked salmon and mushrooms.

Heh!

But not too fatty (I hope). Cause I've read somewhere that a slice of cheesecake can contain up to 700calories !!!!!

Arhhhhhhh. My cheesy chocolate thing should be around 400calories?! Lucky it's for breakfast.

After breakfast I went to work, barely ate anything and only sip leftover smoothie for 7 hours, and then ate a raisin bun +  70calories yogurt for dinner!

Not too bad huh !

But skipped gym today =( Supposed to go, but finished work late, and was extremely exhausted.

.....................

Remember I kept bitching about my new boss?
Well, today we bonded.
An irresponsible colleague of mine left work 3 hours early because she's lazy. She gave some lame excuse la, but to cut story short, SHES FKIN LAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So only me and my boss managed Boost Juice TOGETHER!!! My boss is new to Boost because he just bought this business 3-4 months ago. I just turned a month old in Boost today.

From 3pm till 5pm, people just keep coming. Just two of us. Running from register/cashier, to making the drinks (at least 4-5 drinks per time), to washing the jugs, to refilling yogurts (for the drinks), to juicing fresh fruit. WE BOTH DID IT.

Sales for that 2 hours was AUD520. Thats about at least 100+ drinks in 2 hours for 2 person ! It was intense and finish work 2 hours later cause of cleaning.

And my boss said "Wow, we did a good job. Some more your only about 2.5months old. But we did it !"

hehe, I am only a month old, boss.

But he was really impressed that WE (both him and I) made it, just the two of us, and we chatted while cleaning.

There were times we feel like giving up, and my boss even had the "Closing Early" sign standby, but it was just sooo busy that we just do whatever is on hand first. By the time the crowd died down, it was 4.40pm. 20minutes more to the actual closing time. So we might as well go on.

Morale of the story - suffer first and feel happy for enduring.

Barely 2 weeks in Canberra

I have :

1) Finished reading a book (Shopholics Takes Manhattan)
2) Finished 1 season of Korean Drama ( Dream High)
3) Finished 1 season of The Simpsons (Season 20)

What else ?

4) Visited the gym 3 times (Never did so in Melbourne for the past 6months)
5) Does grocery shopping EVERYDAY !

Infact, time passes very slowly in Canberra! Barely two weeks since I am here, but it felt like I've been here for a whole month!

I miss Melbourne  !

But time flies in Melbourne. Won't have time for anything ! Everyday is just going out and spending money. Eat out. Work like mad (cause pay is lower, have to work more hours).

Anyway, my slimming plan is in progress ! =]  Hope it'll last. Even if it doesn't ....at least PLEASE HAPPEN AFTER I LOSE 5 KGS!

heh.

Mi..chubby!

Working in Boost, it is compulsory to wear a name tag. Yesterday, my name was :

My sweet boss typed that on the sticker name tag thingy for me.

Today :

!!! FML.

Cause 3 girls was working, I suggested that 3 of us come up with a theme for our names. I let them decide a name for me, and somehow CHUBBY got pushed to me. One got "bimbo" and another got "munchkin" . Darn it.

And when I stick it on my name tag, it becomes "MI - CHUBBY"  T.T

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:"(

Aih, so dizzy whilst working the whole day today. Didn't know what happened considering I slept 12 hours yesterday and was well relaxed.

Then I thought back, owh! I had a wheat grass shot  !

Quote the website:

According to the Nutritional Supplements Center, wheatgrass juice commonly causes headaches when you first begin drinking it. People have also reported dizziness, with or without headaches.

So it is doing it wonders to my body right ?!  

Calculated my earnings for this week  =D HAPPEYYYYY !! 

New beginning!

Worked my first shift today at BOOST Juice Bar. It was fun !!!

Wow, come to think of it, I job hop a lot, and BOOST is kinda like my 8th job in my life? haha. If you include me working in my dad's clinic a proper job! 

But pay is good, job is not really that stressful, only thing is that I have to memorize a lot of recipes! 

Quite happy with my life in Canberra. Some how it is not as stressful as the life I had in Melbourne. Really relaxing here, the only thing lacking is the bf.  

In Melbourne, living in the heart of the city, everyday ...it feels busy. There's always a friend to meet up with , work at UNGODLY HOURS and sleep 5 hours a day. Night is day, day is night .

Canberra, so far I am sleeping earlier and earlier.  Since working in BOOST, I've been drinking a lot of juices also =D I feel healthy.

Wow, Googled my job place and :

The exact shop I work at in Canberra!

1 year here, and back to Malaysia for a proper job T.T Sucks.

My clubbing pixxx from friend's iPhone. Why quality so sucky one? 

We are all gone already, and when I smile, my cheeks expand super a lot zzz.

I was complaining to a friend why I look so fat in pictures (in denial that I am fat!)

My friend said "fat how to look not fat in pictures?"

F HIM!!

AHAHAHA camwhore pictures for fun.  I like my hair up there ^.^

YEAH !

Just received my IELTS results from snail mail today =D 

Well, my result is not GREAT, but at least I am slightly better than minimum requirement la, to apply for TR. 

I look grumpy sial in the photo! It was taken when I was extremely nervous - right before my Speaking exam.

Anyway, I am happy with my Speaking, scored higher than what I've expected... cause I thought I'll get like 6.5 (cause I stuttered and was very nervous, some more talk bad about my family business!) , but super disappointed with my writing.

Seriously, how come 7 !!! I thought I am better than that ! Sigh.

Reading...maybe I didn't have enough time to check. The article was really boring anyway, one of it is an article about getting electricity from waves. Went to pee during reading, and the freaking toilet is damn far away. Seriously, I always get all the stomachaches and urges to pee during exams. Many times already. Never see that happen when I sit infront of my computer for 5 hours straight.

Exam 2-3 hours, pee 2 times or shit once. Sit in front of computer say whole night, only pee once, and what, shit once every few days (fml - I've SOME constipation problem, actually better now after eating muesli for breakfast.)

Whatever lah, no use complaining. ^^ At least I don't have to re-do my IELTS.

Between Good User and Very Good User (/tiu - my msn emoticon).

Noteworthy : I am a very good listener =D 

6 days of work, no joke.

Arghshshshs, I 've been busy !
This week and next week, I got 6 days a week of work, and my boss said "You want to work 7 days a week also can."

Wuahhh, no thanks boss, I got a life to live (and also another life in AION) ^^.

My workplace is kinda understaffed now, with many going back home country for Chinese New Year! Hence, will be working 6 days a week, till all my other colleague comes back.

But thank you, I feel really blessed, and really, opportunity comes to those who least expect it ! I will give everything I have, and work hard/smart. I want to make my parents really proud. =)

Tomorrow will be my grandfather's 49th day , since the day he passed away. I have been thinking a lot about him recently. If all the good things that happened recently are your doings, I really want to thank you! And of course, my God, and parents.

Sigh, last few days, my friend told me how a distant relative of hers, 78 years old, added my friend on Facebook. My late grandparents were that age when they passed away.... if only they eat healthily...they would still be around and kicking, and adding ME on Facebook.  How jealous I am.

I really miss my family. Miss home.

...Missing Malaysia, the place I belong.

Just a few more years, when everything is really planned out, and I can go back home with a career at hand  :)

Birthday wishes - they do come true :)

Nah, its not my birthday.

Just going to randomly talk about all the birthday wishes I made thus far, and they really did come true! Even though it took a few years to materialise, still, a wish come true is something !

Initially I posted a really old picture of mine, taken 2 years ago but decided its kinda ugly and changed to this! Nicer yeah!?

Every year on my birthday, I make only 1 wish. People say can make 3 wishes, but for me, I only wish for one special thing/goal per birthday, and if it doesn't come true, I'll wish the same thing the following year.

All the stupid dumbass wishes I regret making was :

1. When I was 11 years old, I wished to NOT have period. Girls just hate periods. They are actually really irritating, especially when you have period cramps and heavy leakage. Talking about the wish, then came this stage whereby I became morbidly obese and had period once every 6 months. I was over the moon! Until 15 years old, when I learnt that no period = cannot give birth, I wish for it to come back, and it did! But now its a bit unstable, because I am stressed :( 
2. I use to have a LOT of hair when I was in primary. After that no-period wish, I wished for myself to have less hair, because my mushroom hairstyle looks ugly with LOADSA hair. 16years old, I was suddenly balding. I swear! No pictures, but you can go question all my cousins and Panda. Then I told Birthday Wish Master that I regret my wish, please take it back, and recently , people has been commenting that I have a lot of hair ! :)

Another wish I made was to slim down. I made that wish in hopes that I will be accepted by my friends at school. And I did slim down from before, but I am now growing fat, but its my own fault for not maintaining it. How did my willpower became so strong to exercise and lose weight all of a sudden?

So now, I got a feeling that my 4th wish is about to come true ...not saying what it is.

Maybe they are all pure coincidence, and/or hard work. But I believe that I am heard by someone, somewhere.

Today is a normal day. Was really happy when I heard what was being said to me and about me, until I came back and argued with Eddie, which made it a neutral day. 

But this wish is really going to give some disappointment to a few people who are close to me.

  I'm sorry ! :( you will hear my bad news soon.

Jailbroke my iPod Touch ! ^^

After some guidance from my colleague, Google and Youtube, I manage to jailbreak my own iPod Touch !!! Haha !! Its fun, bringing customization of the iPod Touch to a whole new level !

See the signal for internet...it says miChelle ! No longer iPod. Compare the first picture (my iPod) and the second picture of iPod Touch I stole from Google images.

Got 5x5 lines for my apps as compared to 4x4 !! 

My iPod never felt sooo much neater ! ^^

Love it.


HAPPY!
Oh, downloaded movies and music into my iPod also ^^

Feeling loved ! ❤

Today is a really happy day !!!  *Shall spare your eyes from my camwhore pictures.

There were very little customers in the shop today cause it was a rainy day, overstaffed (FOUR PEOPLE ON THE FLOOR! Usually on Saturday night we have 3 people cause its usually busy, but today is NOT BUSY AT ALL, and we have 4 people serving, haha) , no awkwardness ,  and my friend gave me THESE :

20 PAIRS OF FAKE LASH FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got 4 types for me to try somemore.

SOOOO HAPPY !!!! 

Then another friend told me about our work gossip, and people kinda said good stuff about me, DOUBLE HAPPINESS (lol name of a ice cream in my ice cream shop, no pun intended) !! If only I didn't decide to go home yeah ... =/

Hehe, was telling/showing one of my close guy friend about this free fake lash, he was like "Shit man, all the girls in Passionflower are going to look alike now."

FHL !

Hehe, but yeah,he is half right. I suddenly wear all these because of peer pressure. Everyone in my work place (almost), wears at least eyeliner and mascara. Quite a few uses double eyelid sticker and fake lash. But all my close waitress friends wears eyeliner+mascara+fake lash+ double eyelid sticker !

Whereas, most of the time I wear mascara only.

So....as time past, I started with mascara and eyeliner, now mascara + eyeliner (sometimes) + double eyelid sticker, and now ?!?! plus fake lash !! hehe.

Happy day indeed ^.^

I got the strength of Hercules.

Just yesterday only, I broke a martini glass, just by touching it SOFTLY (in my dictionary) against the metal cupboard. It BROKE. The first glass I broke after working for 1 month !! 

Then today, don't know how I did it but I broke the letter "M" of Eddie's laptop keyboard : 

 Seriously, I wasn't even using his laptop. I was using mine, that was in front of his.

When I lifted my laptop , that letter 'M' just come out like that ! MY INITIAL SOME MORE.

Makes me wonder if my apartment is really.....hxxxxted! Damn scary lor. Second time something weird happened.

So today, work at night again. Camwhored. NOTICED MY EYESSSSSSS!??!! hehehe

Can see? The fine line above my eyes (especially the picture above, right side). Both are equal, dont know why it doesn't look like they are, in pictures.

Haha. Little things like this makes me happy. I am sooo easy to please. But my eyes are indeed bigger IRL than in here.

Even at work today, someone said I look different ! But he was saying that it's cause I didn't bobby-pin my fringe up. Cheh.

Something to rant about. 

Seriously, some customers are damn @3$#%@!$#%#*.

Please use some brains.

Shop = busy, understaffed and  lack skilled workers.

BE UNDERSTANDING.

You're seriously asking for a spit in your food.

Customer => acting like a freaking spoilt brat, putting his arms high up each time I look up when I am busy with something. And I already told him to WAIT. So he kinda make me reluctant to look up!

Then when I gave up, I walk towards that fugly customer, and wait RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. (Was updating my WaiterPad, hence have to wait about 2-3 minutes, but that fucked up fugly guy can't even wait for that short period of time. If he's hot, its a different story, but he's NOT, and like totally opposite)

So a string of orders just came up, and cause I can't record any of them, obviously, I have to call him to wait right?

Then he said ," Still not ready yet?"
Me, " NO"
Him to 5 other people on the same table " SHE'S STILL NOT READY YET" in a sarcastic/irritated and irritating and rude tone.

C'mon man, you want me to screw your orders by just listening to you and depend on my memory that have a high probability of mixing up with other table's orders, or just wait for TWO MINUTES and I get EVERYTHING RIGHT. Sheesh kebab !

I am proud to say that I have NEVER made any wrong order (apart from that one time on my first day).

If my blog is alive..

It would have thank me, "it's master" , for being the most awesomeness "master" ever !!! Don't know how many times I "tailored" its' "clothing" to make it look "pretty" !!!!

Yeap! Changed stuffs on my blog again. hehe. I kept editing the previous one, but still, I don't feel happy with the overall. Hence, I closed down my blog for almost a day today, and slowly edit get use to all the new blogger features and  gave my blog a big makeover!!

Now I only have one problem with its damn blog font. I really want to use my old font, but it's not letting me!! I hate the current font. Common and..."too much space" .

Had a lot of time on my hands anyway!

Don't have pictures to post. Paiseh. Only took 1 picture today , and its a cup of free ice cream from my work place.

Yeayea, everyday pictures of ice cream. What can I do !? :(  Didn't post it also !

My life now is like work and blog. But from next week onwards, I am going to be more free. Only have 3 shifts in total. But it's a nice break from working 5-6 days a week since I started. I've been missing out on my social life for wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooo long. In fact, I missed a costume party today :( total sadness.

Oh wellz,
Only a matter of time before I get bored of my blog and change its layout again !! But don't think it 'll be that soon.

Hectic!

Wow.
Since I started work on Friday, there was not much of a "stop" for me.
It's like this.
Friday, I worked, made some new friends.
Saturday, a new friend called me up to cover her shift on a Sunday.

Sunday I worked, made some new friends again - few hours later, manager call me to cover a girl's shift on Monday (today). Yesterday after work also, came back check Facebook, new friend call me cover her shift on a Thursday night.

In total, I am going to be working 5 days this week !
Monday (today), Wednesday , Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

I don't mind though. After all, they asked me if I really want to take their shift. I am the one who agreed to it, cause this means I get MORE income !!! yeaySssssssssssss!

Worked 12 hours last week.
This week (SO FAR) , about 32 hours. =]

First day @ PassionFlower.

Working was fun =] Actually being a waitress is more tiring than my previous job at Juice Works! Still have to clean all the tables and chairs, still have to mop the floor. Bigger space , more seats, more tables, more customers. Have to clear all the dish after the customers eat some more! Unlike Juice Works whereby we just throw everything (but needa clean the sink though at Juice Works, damn gross one, got dead cockroaches, rotting fruits..etc)!

Lucky no need to clean toilet (yet) or wash all the dishes HAHAHAHA.

But I really want to be a kitchen helper though. I love making deserts ! But too bad, only can clean, take orders, get flirted at  and serve deserts.

So far first day has been alright. I was a bit slow at using the Waiter Pad (touch screen to record people's order) but got used to it after a few times using it.

I was trying so hard to NOT get my orders wrong, but SIGH, got 1 order wrong. But my manager said I did quite well on the first day =] Some people are so nice.

But its the girl's fault lo. She said "Strawberry Waffle" without showing me the picture or anything. So I thought its "Waffle with Strawberry Ice Cream".   I don't even know the existence of Strawberry Waffle.
I even asked/repeat orders to confirm it, she was like "yayayaya" . When the order came, its different from the picture, she confront me, saying its not the one she wanted, and I have to change it. Dammit !

Not much difference between  "Strawberry Waffle" and "Waffle with Strawberry Ice Cream" also! They both have strawberries, have waffles, the only difference is one is vanilla ice cream, the other one strawberry ice cream. Oh well, "Customers are always Right" !

Apart form that, got a slight miscommunication with my colleague, but its no thanks to the number that got stuck below the glass ! =] 

Hehe, the shift leader was shocked that I was the only waitress for that day somemore! First day working, haven't memorize the menu, it was a Friday  (more people), and I was the only waitress. But challenging ! I like !

First job in Melbourne =]

*argh, so many typos , was too tired yesterday! 

Wow, things can be done as easy as abc123, especially once you set your mind on it. 

Just yesterday, I decided that I MUST take the opportunity to quickly apply for jobs, as other universities are having/ going to have their exams. Only Deakin finish their exams 2 weeks earlier ! 

So, used up yesterday to write resume, today get out there to hand out, small talked with the manager, and got the job! Starting tomorrow some more. All within 3 days !!!! Frankly speaking, its thanks to my friend, my availability, and cause I m not going back for summer ! T.T sad. What a big sacrifice.

So Passionflower is Z PLACE that I'll be working =]

Attempting to memorize the menu with my friends around.

Geisha-san , Green Tea and Lychee Rose Ice Cream with Lychee bits!

Love the Lychee Rose Ice Cream !

Going to try to stick on with this job until I become a full time, or be casual worker for this and find another job. My first job in Melbourne =]

Hope I can stay thin though !!!! A lot of people been expecting me to pig out on the ice cream =[ Lucky I am not really an ice cream person.

Anyways,
Yeay to both me and Eddie for being employed !!

Going to try to stay employed, and get more working hours, so that I can spend more money ^^

Picnic @ Geelong

It was easy planning this picnic especially when exams' are over . All of us had to just decide on a free day (ample of them), what food to bring (easy breezy) , time and of course place.

Its like all of us (yesh, including me , hah! ) just agrees / give in to each other. For example, I have a Malay friend who can't eat pork,  one friend who suddenly decided to be a pescetarian ( no meat diet , except fish and seafood + veggies) , two Hong Kong friends who doesn't like tasty food ( I swear! they don't like sauce), so my choice to make sandwich has been quite challenging, when it comes to WHAT fillings.

No chicken, no pork, no ham , no sauce, no tomatoes , no onions,no mayo....boils down to EGG T.T I hate eggs, but its alright cause anyway,  I can make my own sandwich and eat it at home.

So I made :

Tomato+ Spinach sandwich!
I thought its going to taste super blend and boring, but all the flavours just burst in the mouth (thanks to sweet chilli sauce). Sweet chilli and the juiciness of the tomatoes.. yumz. Am addicted to it. Bought extra loaf of bread and tomatoes for next couple of days whilst I am still in the "addicted" stage.

But tomato and chilli, in my opinion, goes quite well together! Got one time, I add both tomato sauce and some chilly stuff into my fried rice, turns out damn nice also!

Anyway, I decided to personalise all the sandwich in accordance to my friend's taste:

There are 4 types :

1) Egg + tomato + spinach + sweet chilli sauce (Malay friend who likes saucy stuff) 

2) Egg + tomato + spinach + salt and pepper (for the pesco- vegetarian fella)

3) Egg + tomato + spinach (tastelesss for the Hongkies)

3) Egg cheese omelette + spinach (another tasteless sandwich, forced my friend to eat the spinach cause its good for health! haha) 

Basically I forced some veggies into people. hehe, so much for me being all understanding! Like one who does not eat tomatoes, I put some tomatoes in, telling them its super good for health, and one who does not eat any veggies at all, I tell them "Spinach has no taste one,I swear! and its good for health!" (which is true, it tasted nothing in the sandwich, or maybe cause the sweet chilli sauce is too overpowering)

Usually people cut half across to make nice triangle shape, but I cut it vertically, if not my fried eggs inside will drop out :

Put cling wrap over the dish, and dash like a bullet for my 11am train. Almost missed it by 5minutes.

So in the train, nothing to do, camwhore :

Took so many only one look-able . FML !!! and F that zit on my face ! Been sitting there for WAYYY too LONG!


When I reached Geelong, met up with friends, walk to Eastern Beach for our picnic, got blown off by the Geelong beach views.

And got Ferris Wheel already also !!!

Seriously, is it because I know that I am leaving this place for good, that I feel this place has turned sooo much more beautiful, or has it always been like that?

But I know Geelong City just had this amazing big "makeover" since the cycling week. Our bus stops all look better, got more touristy attraction like the Ferris Wheel...everything is just more convenient ! Even shopping malls are going through some major renovation, to remodel I think !!

Why when I want to leave liao only everything gets improved! Even my university also, going through a big change. All new computer screens are like what, AT LEAST 4-5 TIMES THE SIZE OF MY HEAD ( I don't have a small head) !!! Damn huge. Bigger than any computer screens I ever used in my life !


So after all the beach walking, seaside strolling, scenery picture taking, we settle down to have our picnic :

Yumz. All of them are great cooks. 

Anyway just feel that I am going to miss them loads. 

All of us are each others new friends when we first arrived Geelong.  All of us...just as new to this place, learning about this new city together, staying under one "temporary" roof. 

wow, just dug out my old pictures :

THIS WAS THREE YEARS AGO IN OUR TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATION ! =] 

We stayed together for about two weeks, moved out , and still kept in touch! 

Gosh all the memories! 

It has been 3 years, and we're still good friends! 

Last paper. May I pass in peace!

Today I sat for my final paper. Hope I pass it ! The paper was alright though.

Something bizarre happened today.

When I reached home and emptied my mail box, I received 3 assignment back. Yeap, passed all of it, but one of my assignments didn't "pass enough" for me to pass a subject. I got 47.975/100.

So immediately I emailed my lecturer.  The reason I failed my subject was because I hand in my assignments late anyway, I did pretty alright for that subject. Just that I hand in late and got -40%. Ouch.

I asked if there is ANYTHING AT ALL that I can do, because to fail an AUD4.5K subject , not because I do not understand the subject , but because I hand in the assignment SUPER late due to procrastination + laziness + lethargicness + burn out (there, I was being honest).  AUD4.5K , almost RM15K , is a HUGE sum of money. I will do whatever it takes to get that 2 marks man.

I even got my personal Feng Shui Lou to write the email for me, like construct it to sound more persuasive and ...favourable! hahaha.

She replied that she is sorry to hear that, but there's nothing she can do, except for me to see Student Advisor, or take the subject again during summer.

I was    d e v a s t a t e d.

So I hunt down the student advisor's email , and emailed her this REALLY long email, about my personal issues, and why I was unable to hand in my assignment on time and send it.

On the other window, I was chatting with the Feng Shui Lou, telling him, "Never believe in fortune telling man. Fortune teller said this year is going to be a successful year for me. Guess what? I failed the biggest subject for whole of this year!".

Immediately after typing that, I ALT+TAB and look at my email inbox, and HOLY CxW ! I actually received an email 9 hours ago from my lecturer, saying that she's going to waive 5% of my penalty for late submission, and it will give me a PASS !!!! Gmail , you suck !! How can I receive my email 9 hours later?

After all the hassle , into telling my personal problems to random International Student Advisor I Googled (yeah, can't find their info in my university's website).

But all's good. I passed the subject I dreaded MOST.

Another subject to worry. But that subject, AUD2.5K ... at least 50% cheaper that the other subject. This semester not a good semester for me !!!!

The things people can learn from Youtube.

Sorry I think I've turned into a girly girl !! I am currently sooo into make ups, hair and face products. ~.~

But before the guys go "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOORING"

That is why we must consistently learn how to groom ourselves better to look good OUTSIDE.

Back to the topic.

I've just learnt something that saved me AUD 30 (approximately RM85-90) !! Saved me from clicking "Buy It Now" from eBay, too!

I wanted to buy Urban Decay Primer Potion :

It is a kind of liquid cream you apply on your eyelids before you apply eyeshadow, to make your eyeshadow colours stand out and last longer. I was so super tempted, plus the bottle is purple and is damn cute lo!

So, I was randomly Youtube-ing beauty tutorials online, and came across "Homemade Eyeshadow Primer" and clicked on it. There were 203240238 other videos that were teaching the same thing, just different materials.

I was really amazed and wanted to try it out because if it works, I can save myself AUD30 , and also find some good use for other make up stuff and face products that I chucked at the back of my cupboard!!

Here goes my experiment at 5am in the morning :

Things you need ( I chose the easiest 'recipe' ) :

1) Any random moisturiser, thick texture kind (Clean&Clear and Cetaphil - mixed them both because Clean&Clear is too watery and I never like that moisturiser, and my Cetaphil is thick textured and expired ) I've watched enough videos to have concluded the first point.

2) Any random liquid foundation/concealer ( I used my super dark foundation tone that doesn't match my fair skin! The tagline of 'TRUE MATCH' L'oreal Foundation was damn misleading. It was printed on the bottle 'matches perfectly the skin texture and tone'... well, I got fooled, made mom bought it, and when I used, it made me look 5 skin tones darker. I read the label behind and there goes the skin tone for the foundation, and it's damn dark.) So read everything on a product thoroughly before impulsively buying them!

3) A container (in my case, I used contact lens case - I think my idea is better though, because if you buy the cheap plastic container outside, they might leak. Contact lens case won't leak, and if yours leak, it must be broken! Plus you can make two types of primer, glitter or non glitter)

4) A toothpick/small tiny stick to mix everything ( I used Eddie's wand thingy from his LG touchscreen handphone, HAHAHA- shhh he doesn't know)

5) Glitter dust (optional)

Instructions :

Mix Foundation 1/3 , Moisturiser 2/3 (They suggested half and half but my foundation is dam dark, hence 1/3) in the container with a toothpick, and finally add Glitter dust.

The result :

The top part (with the freshly made homemade primer) and bottom part (nothing applied) of my sexy thighs are eyeshadows from:

Not very pigmented eyeshadows from Aery Jo ! My mom's one, I took it from her because I need silver colour eyeshadow and this make up palette's brush is not bad. My mom never make up also one! Don't know why she bought it... got cheated into buying it by a relative

Anyway, see the difference? So far, the eyeshadow does look darker , but not sure if it last.

I got excited and made quite a lot of the handmade primer. Will try it one day to see if it will prolong the make up on our eyes.

Aih

I am sick now. Down with flu, cough, flaming eyeballs, hot head.$..so much for bragging the last 3 weeks that I am super healthy. Now that Eddie is healed from cough and flu, I suddenly got it. ZZZ
