Well...

On Thursday, I went to uni to hand in my Self and Society essay, so that was like a whole big fat weight off my shoulders. After that, I went to Broadway to shop for a bit, and then I went home to get ready for the UNSW Black & White cruise, which was supringingly, pretty great. I had so much fun seeing everyone and meeting new random people, hehe. Then my lovely boyfriend picked me and Bonnie up and we went for late-night Maccas. Yum. Nothing like a double cheeseburger and fries in the middle of the night!

I slept in with my boyfriend on Friday. We were hungry when we woke up, so we went to the city and had the best Japanese dinner ever! Yum yum yum! We ordered so much food, but finished it all! Hehe. I'm so fat.

I had to work on Saturday, but it was good fun as always with those girls. They're absolutely hilarious and boy, I heard some fantastic stories! And then after work, we went to my manager's new house for her nice housewarming party. Oh, how I've missed Philipino food and karaoke!

On Sunday, me and my boyfriend took his dogs for a walk at Coogee beach. We had fish and chips on the beach and walked to this nice place and sat there for awhile. And then we dropped off the dogs, got dinner and went to see Sneaky Sound System. They were so good! Hehe.

And yesterday...slept in with my boyfriend, again. Then we had a biiiiig lunch, came home for a long afternoon nap, then had a biiiiig dinner. Oh, the food was so good! I'm so fat! Hehe.

And yes, I feel like a big fat pig cause I slept and ate so much. But I'm a happy pig, so that's okay! :)

I need to catch up on uni work now... :(

So, univeristy life is a bitch - dragging myself out of bed, lining up for my morning mocha, trying to stay awake in lectures and tutorials, etc etc. And the worst part is that at the end of the day when I go home, I know that I'll be back there doing the same thing tomorrow. The only silver lining to this dark, dark cloud is that I get to catch up with friends over lunch. And weekends aren't that much better either since I have to work on both Saturdays and Sundays. Ergh.

Which means that my social life is pretty much limited to only night-time fun. Which sort of suits me fine, until my alarm clock goes off the next morning...

But besides univeristy and work, I've been doing a lot of shopping, movies, and dinner and nights out with friends. Fun, fun! I've also been catching up with friends who I haven't seen or talked to in awhile, so that is really good. I hate it when everyone gets too busy for each other and then one day, you become strangers. So yes, I have to try not to do that!

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I've realised a lot of things about myself. Mostly bad things. And I don't like it. I don't like being a bad person. I want to be a good person! :)

I spoiled myself so much this past month. Need. To. Stop. Spending. Moneyyyy.

Latest loves:

I'm baaaack! :D

I've been back in Sydney for about a week now. Since then, I've been crazily busy with work, sorting out stuff for uni and taking out my uncle and aunt from Hong Kong. But besides that, everything has pretty much been back to the same old.

Melbourne was great! I had so much fun! Thanks Ben, Tammi and everyone for taking me out. I love Melbourne! In a way, it's the same as Sydney - only everything is better. Hehe. Every time I go there, I come back wanting to move there. I still do, but I think it'd be a bit hard getting away from my family and friends and everything that I'm so used to. And did I mention that I missed my plane to Melbourne? Yeah, I'm not very proud of that. I had to pay for another ticket for the next plane out...luckily, there was one more that night.

Today, I went to uni to sort out some stuff. I hate queues! I have zero patience. So when I have to line up only to be told that I have to go line up again somewhere else and the person there is completely useless, it makes me just want to slap them, and every other person in the room, across the face. Yeah. After that, I met up with Bonnie, the other Justin and Daisy for lunch. Fun fun.

Anyway, here's my 'recent purchases' post, as promised:

Black patent heels

Vintage skirt (which I altered myself) :)

New dress (which was on sale) :)

Vintage leather jacket

Pilgrim dress (which I can wear to work)

Little black jacket

Mimco bag

Mimco headband

Mimco hairclip

My uni timetable for this semester is what could only be described as ugly. I have sixteen hours in four days - which would've been pretty good if I didn't have five hour breaks everyday. Grrr! :@

Okay, I'm out! (L)

On Saturday night, I will be flying to Melbourne. Yay! It was a sort of last second decision but I've missed Melbourne so much! I will be doing lots and lots of shopping with Ben and Tammi. I've been a good girl and have been saving up, so hopefully I'll bring back lots of goodies. I can't wait! I will be coming back on Wednesday afternoon.

It has been disgustingly hot in Sydney. Forty-seven degrees - what the hell? I've been trying to avoid it and take refuge in air-conditioned places. I was actually glad that I had work, because at least I was kept out of the heat. But it should cool down during the next few days...hopefully! I'm more than prepared for winter. Bring back winter, I say!

Fetherston's Dollhouse project:

And while looking through her work, guess who I found in her Urban Flowers project? My future girlfriend - the ever-so-lovely Zooey Deschanel!

I have a crush on Zooey Deschanel and her style. She's the most adorable thing. I asked Justin why he couldn't be more like her...

Life is pretty great right now. :)

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 21 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end, choose 21 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I get sick of people really fast. It's horrible, I know. I can never spend a long time with one person because I will eventually find one, or several, thing/s about them that will really irritate me - up until the point where everytime I see them, I would want to slap them across the face. There's only a few rare people that don't have this effect on me. I know, I know, it's horrible.

2. I'm actually a really shy and quiet person. Except when I'm around loud people, or when I'm drunk.

3. I believe in ghosts and aliens. Don't get me started.

4. I chase after fluffy things and when I catch them, I make wishes.

5. I still feel like I'm a little girl and that I'm growing up too quickly.

6. I hate cockroaches so so so so so so so much. I have an extreme phobia of cockroaches. I get so scared that whenever I see one, I will start to cry uncontrollably. Once, a cockroach fell out of my air-conditioner and I didn't turn it on for months, even when it was forty fucking degrees. Another time, there was a cockroach in my pantry and I didn't open it for months - I'd rather starve than see a cockroach with their slithery bodies and scrawny legs. I would seriously pay someone to wipe out the entire population of cockroaches, or to be my personal cockroach protector. Even talking / typing about them gives me shivers and makes me nervous.

7. When I was younger, I was really scared of snakes and planes flying over me. And one-legged ballerinas.

8. I wish I was French.

9. I like to make up imaginary stories in my head.

10. I'm a perfectionist, and I cannot possibly live without liquid paper. But I'm slowly learning that not everything can be planned, and I hate it.

11. I'm an organised freak. I have a diary which I write everything in. I colour-code my notes. I file everything. Yeah, enough said.

12. I really want to get a tattoo, or maybe even a few. I want a French quote, a ribbon, Tinkerbell and the rose from Beauty and the Beast.

13. I've already planned out my whole future. I will get married to the love of my life, move out into a beautiful place near the city, get three adorable dogs named Peanut, Butter and Jelly (one will be a pug and one will be a toy poodle), finish my degree at university, get a good job and spend my money on luxurious things and trips around the world. Unfortunately, that's probably easier said than done.

14. I love potatoes. And eggs. And cheese. (Drools)

15. I like to hear both sides of the story before I make up my mind.

16. I'm not going to have children, ever. Firstly because they're just a total pain. Secondly because I'd make a terrible mother. And thirdly because I'm incredibly selfish and hence, will be a bad mother. But who knows, maybe one day my maternal instincts will kick in. Though I truly doubt that.

17. I love and will always love Disney movies, even if they are sexist and racist and full of unrealistic expectations.

18. I cry really really easily. Whenever I watch something slightly emotional, my eyes will fill with tears and they will start pouring. It's really embarrassing, especially when this happens while I watch the news, cartoons...or even tonight's tennis match.

19. When I was younger, I suspected that everyone were actually aliens dressed as humans, so that they could experiment with my life.

20. I sleep with two teddy bears, a bunny and an Eeyore every night.

21. I like weird people. Not weird as in being awkward. But weird as in being unique and different.

I've been working so much lately, and the next few weeks will be the same. I'm not complaining - my bank savings has never looked so good!

Today, me and my boyfriend went to the city to have sushi. I also bought a really cute cropped blazer that was reduced to only $80! Hehe.

Tonight, me and my boyfriend are staying in. He's sick. Poor baby. :(

Speaking of my asian-ness, I went yum cha with the family. Yum, I love yum cha! Whoever invented old ladies pushing around trolleys full of yummy food to feed me was a pure genius.

With all this asian madness, I had almost forgotten that today is also Australia Day. One thing that I have been thinking about is well, when people ask me where I come from, do I say Australia, or China? Am I Australian, or am I Chinese? Hm. I had this very same conversation with a lot of people before. My family would tell me that no matter what, I will be Chinese because my ancestors were Chinese blah blah blah. But all my friends don't seem to agree with that. I don't know.

I eBay-ed for a good two hours or so, and found heaps of good vintage stuff. I'm disliking mass production / consumption more and more everyday.

I got a tattoo!

Haha. Yeah, I wish. It's only airbrushed (in case you couldn't already tell).

Isn't it funny how in summer, we miss the cold days? And in winter, we can't to lie under the sun again? I like summer for its cheerfulness, carefreeness and fun, but I love winter for it's fashion (and non-sweatiness and non-stickiness). I'm over summer and am shopping for winter already. Hehe.

I just came home from work and had a really good shower. I am working so much this week. I am so freaking tired. But hey, at least the dollars are rolling in.

...But that will only be benefiting my winter wardrobe.

Frills, laces, plaid, tartans, coats, stockings, boots - I cannot wait for it to be cold again!
