Lonesome NYE

Just came home from dinner with family at a Chinese restaurant in Beverly Hills. I'm not a big eater so i was pretty much just sitting there half the time. I wish i was celebrating in the city *sigh*.

Time

I've lost track of time so much that i didn't even realise that tomorrow is New Years Eve. I'm quite sad about not being allowed to go out tomorrow but i guess there's nothing i can do about it. I feel like i'm missing out on so much because most people will be out partying with their friends. Celebrating alone is so depressing.

Snow is pretty. Photo by thecherryblossomgirl. She has a nice blog, do visit.

6 kitties

Junsu (from JYJ for those who don't know) is so crazy as he got another kitty (white one). That makes six D: They're so cuteeee though. I find it so awesome how it has different coloured eyes. I still like Leo (left) too, because it really does look like puss in boots with those big, glassy eyes. I want to steal them ):

Yesterday's buys

I really love the peach bow detail skirt from Forever New. The ring is actually too big for me but i bought it anyway because i wanted it. I'll probably stack another thin ring above it so it wont fall off. I'm sure there are plenty of other people out there who have slim fingers so i don't see why that store only makes medium and large sizes. I had such a hard time getting my camera to focus because my hand kept moving.

Fly away

I suddenly felt like going to Chatswood for shopping because i haven't been in a very long time so i went today and i came back home so tired. Thank god i wore flat shoes. I think the last time i went to Chatswood was when my cousin came from America - the one who goes went (she graduated) to Harvard. That was probably back in year seven (?) Wow, i haven't been to Chatswood in four years, that sounds rather crazy. I saw the prettiest pair of pale pink patent brogues/oxfords at Wittner and i'm so tempted to buy them. I really don't think i'll ever grow out of my love for oxford heels. They're also so much more comfortable and easier to walk in than say, pumps.

I really want to go somewhere out of Sydney, somewhere with nice scenery and refreshing air, because i honestly feel like i'm sitting here rotting away. Maybe somewhere like Hunter Valley. I don't know, i just want to go somewhere free of the busy city life. I've only been there once and i was rather young so i didn't get to take any photos of the pretty scenery. I remember i wanted to ride on the hot air balloon but we couldn't because they were only available very early in the morning, at around 5 or 6 am. I wonder why. There were also antique stores there that i'd probably like now. I'm so sad that we didn't go to the Hunter Valley Gardens. I didn't even know they existed. Unless i'm having a memory loss and we did actually go but i don't think so :/ Waitttt, now i remember i went to a place once with lots of different coloured roses but i can't remember where it was. I seem to have such bad memory when it comes to things i did when i was younger. That can't be good. *Sigh*, someone take me somewhere fun.

Oh, i almost forgot to mention that i surprisingly grew 2cm, which makes me 1.63m now :D

On Stranger Tides

Can't wait :D Kind of sad that there's no more Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. It's all about Johnny Depp now, but he's awesome ;D

One of the best series ever (Y)

I still remember the dinosaur *posts again*

Dress hunting

I think i have fallen in love with a few Alice Mccall dresses that i happened to come across whilst searching for a formal dress. I know it's ages away but i wont really have time to look for one then, although i still haven't found one i love. I've been thinking, if i end up buying an expensive dress, it would make more sense for me to buy one that i can actually wear again because if it's too fancy or extravagant, then i'd probably never wear it again :/ These of course, are too casual for the occasion, although i think the bottom left one is quite okay. The hem adds a nice touch.

There's also something about this dress that really draws my attention, even though it's plain. It's most likely the colour because i seem to really like mint shades. The more i look at it, the more i like it. It really isn't worth $260 though.

And so the hunt continues.

One week gone

I've considered migrating to Tumblr previously but no, i shall not jump on the bandwagon. Especially considering that i honestly hate the whole reblogging thing. It's just an endless cycle of posting something that something else posted, who posted it from some other person, who also posted it from some other person. I do like the people who actually blog though. Hm, i'm thinking about changing my template to something white and simple? I'll see. I think i'd be reverting back to the upgraded format instead of the classic template though.

The weather is so crazy lately. One day it's hot and sunny, the next it's raining. I really do hate rain, that is, unless i'm nice and dry indoors. It's already New Years Eve this Friday and i'm sad to say that i probably wont be doing anything since it's not like my parents would let me go watch fireworks at 12am with my friends, especially after an incident quite a few years ago when i went with family. I guess i'll be watching them on TV? Gee, that sounds so sad and lonely.

My brother is such a gaming freak i swear. He went and bought a new GTxtreme racing simulator. I'm assuming he's going to sell his old one. I actually want to try driving on it but it's in his room and it's not like he'd let me. I hate having a brother sometimes. The fact that he already has gaming consoles means that it wouldn't make sense for me to get another one, but i can't even play on them any more because they're in his room. Back in our old house his room was smaller so they were in the living room. At least i could play on them back then. I read that the next instalment in the Kingdom Hearts series is going to be released on 3DS. Must get my hands on one!

Goodnight

(I really should stop staying up so late.)

Lomography

I kind of want a Diana Mini, but i have no use for it since we all use digital cameras these days.

Lacking

I've suddenly realised how my life is so celebration-lacking. Christmas celebrations seem to have died out over the years and birthday celebrations, well we eat cake and that's about it. My brother doesn't even remember my birthday, or anyone else's at that. We never have any family parties or do anything big. I'm so jealous of other people. I don't even remember the last time i actually unwrapped a present. I probably wont even be doing anything for New Years. That's pretty sad don't you think?

Reiberry

I've always really liked Rei's videos but she hasn't been making many lately. I do think i like her really old videos better though. Her hair is so silky-looking *jealous*. And i have no idea why she doesn't talk in her videos any more. Even in the few that she does talk in, her voice sounds so different to what it use to sound like in her old channel.

❅

Am i suppose to enjoy Christmas as much as everyone else?

Because honestly, it's just another day to me.

メリークリスマス

Merry Christmas !

I'm so tired, i woke up at 7:30 today so i could get to Bicentennial park by 9:30 to keep Yvonne company because she went early to get the BBQ. It was cold and i was freezing in shorts. Actually, i think i'm a little sick now. Plus there were mossies flying around and i got bitten on my right leg :@ Anyway, even though i was bored at times because there wasn't much to do, today was still quite fun (:D Yay, i'm no longer fun deprived). I really think i should go to sleep because i'm tired but i don't really feel like sleeping. Oh, and the poster that comes with my CD arrived! They're meant to arrive separately so maybe i'll end up getting my CD too. Mwahaha.

I have such fat thighs ):

Just a Dream cover

Came across this cover. I think i like it better than the original

Almost Christmas

I had something i was going to blog about and now i can't remember what it was. Well anyway, ASOS is having a sale at the moment but i couldn't find any clothes that i wanted. There was a dress but it apparently only ships to the UK for some unknown (and probably stupid) reason. I bought a berry coloured bag, bow suspender tights (or stockings, as most people here call them) in nude and black, and some vintage looking rings. I was actually planning on getting some clothes or shoes but since i can't find anything i want, i guess i'll skip on that. I am pretty annoyed though because i had to wait for a reply from customer service and free shipping is no longer available now. Luckily it is pretty cheap but i'm still annoyed because it could've been free *angry face*. And i never got the special edition of JYJ's album ! Yesasia admitted that it was probably lost (it's been 4 weeks) and i couldn't get a reshipment because it's no longer in stock. They refunded the money back and even though my JYJ fandom died down, i still kind of really wanted it *sigh*. I'm kind of hoping it'll turn up, and then it would be free haha.

I'm starting to think that i should really pick up the pace on my holiday work. It's already Thursday tomorrow and next thing you know, the first week of holidays will be over. Hmm, i was thinking of baking cupcakes for Friday but i haven't bought the ingredients and i can't be bothered any more so i guess i wont be baking any.

Tokidoki

I'm usually not a fan of Tokidoki but these Chromatico Eyeshadow palettes are so cute !

Chopin

I wish i could play Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu

What is fun?

I think there's something seriously wrong with me. No matter what i do or who i'm with, nothing feels fun to me any more. I honestly wish that i could come home from a day out with friends and truly feel that i had fun. What is fun? I wouldn't even be able to answer that if you asked me. Sometimes i feel like such an emotionless robot. I want to do new things and go to new places. I wish i could go travelling, i think that would make me happy.

I went shopping...is it even considered shopping if i didn't buy anything? Hmm.. probably not. Well, i walked around Town Hall with Jess in the morning and finally went to the Westfield on Pitt Street. I think they didn't do that great of a job with the interior design because the colour of the walls and the glare of the lights made me feel very claustrophobic. After walking around two levels i was already sick of the place and wanted to get out. We went and watched a movie because dinner with the others wasn't until 6 and there was nothing else to do. There isn't really anything interesting in cinemas at the moment so we ended up watching Tron: Legacy in 3D, just to kill time. I wasn't expecting much out of it but i must say it wasn't that bad. They had awesome cyber motorcycles :D We went for dinner/K at Mizuya and everyone was like high on drugs, but as you've already read about my emotionless, fun-deprived situation, you can probably figure that i was pretty bored. Plus you know that i don't really listen to English music so that made me even more bored. I should've just stayed home like the people who didn't go.

I'm pretty annoyed at the heels i wore today because i have discovered that they are grip-less. Though the rain may be to blame, i almost slipped whilst walking to the station after dinner. I think if it weren't for the glass window which i had my hand on to regain my balance, i would've ended up on the floor. I pretty much hate those shoes now, and i probably wont wear them again unless i'm doing something impractical.

It's one already and even though i'm tired, i don't want to go to sleep. That's so contradictory.

Jason Chen - Reintroduction (snippet)

Didn't blog for the last two days because i haven't really been doing anything interesting.

Last day

HIGH HIGH - GD & TOP

I don't like the song much so i'd say it's a disappointment. It somewhat reminds me of GD's Gmarket song which i hated.

I shouldn't have gone to school today because it was completely and utterly pointless. We went to Joyee's house after school so i didn't get home until around 7:30 and i'm so tired right now. I haven't had any decent sleep lately but since it's holidays now i shall catch up on that. Hm, it seems that no matter how many clothes i buy (not that i buy much though), i still feel like i have none. Logically that doesn't make sense but i guess it's also because i tend to not like my old clothes any more. Maybe that's why i always feel like i have so little clothes. I especially feel bad when i buy something that i don't end up wearing afterwards. Bleh, impulse shopping.

Paul & Joe Parasol Collection for Spring 2011

Paul & Joe packaging never fails to impress me. I read that the collection was inspired by Claude Monet's painting Woman with a Parasol.

Discovery

To my horror, i discovered that i have a very bad looking sock tan on my legs. I only noticed it today and it's as if it popped out of nowhere. I don't even know how i'm going to get rid of it, but seriously, during all these years, i never got any sock tans! I'm so paranoid about it now, grrr. Someone ought to mix me a magic potion so i can make it disappear ):

Nothing much exciting to talk about today. I only had two periods but went to tutor afterwards. We got back our 2u Maths results and frankly i don't like my mark. It's not bad but shall i say.. it's not good enough. I'm even more annoyed that the marks i lost were so stupid. One of the marks i lost was apparently because my parabola wasn't symmetrical enough for the marker's liking. I'm sorry, but i find that really stupid. I'm still shocked at how low my class average is. I mean, for an extension class, it's quite pathetic scratch that, it sounds harsh... I'll just say that it's extremely inadequate and depressing.

Hmm, do i want to go out for dinner on Sunday? I can't really be bothered going but i feel kind of bad if i don't. I shall decide later on. I'm looking forward to watching the Aus Open next month :D I wonder if i'd go and watch it live if it were in Sydney. Though i'd want to go on the last or if not the last, the last few days and ticket prices go up. Well since i don't live in Melbourne i'll just stick to watching it on TV (:

Vlog

It's my new car ;D

The good and the bad

I'm pretty much in holiday mode right now because i'm so lazy with doing work. That's pretty bad since i'm not really meant to be in holiday mode these holidays. So the good things that happened today would be:

1) Getting an English result that i'm actually really happy with for once. I was so surprised when i saw my mark because i thought my narrative was exceedingly bad, especially since i made it up on the spot, unlike many people i know who remembered one and rewrote it whilst morphing the stimulus into it.

2) Irene making me one of those hand sewn fabric items because i asked her to make me one for my birthday previously and i think she forgot haha. Well 9 months later it managed to brighten my day. Her letter was also fun to read. She's so sweet :3 Which reminds me, i must start thinking of what to get her for her birthday next month !

The bad:

1) Getting back our Legal marks. I mean, i already knew that i wasn't going to get a great mark considering that it was done so poorly and so last minute but i still died inside. Especially considering that it's worth 25%. I've pretty much already deemed myself as screwed for Legal now.

I think i'm in some cat loving phase right now.

Semi shopping

I went semi shopping today but i couldn't find the shoes i wanted and i don't think they have them any more. Hm, maybe that's a good thing since i really don't think they're worth $159 and they're super high. I still kind of want them though ): Well i ended up getting a top from Forever New and two tops from Dotti. I was actually planning on using my Dymocks voucher whilst i was in Burwood but i forgot to take it with me. I also finally had the opportunity to get my hair trimmed. My fringe has been annoying me so much lately because it keeps falling in my face. Hm, i shall go to sleep soon. I'm so drained from walking so much today.

Don't these Wii controller cookies look so awesome? Check out Diamonds for Dessert for the recipe. I want to try making them now haha.

Please Take Care of My Boyfriend - Younha

It's not even officially holidays yet and i'm already feeling bored ):

Please Take Care of My Boyfriend - Younha

Album: Lost in Love

I missed you, beloved internet

My internet stopped working yesterday afternoon and i assumed that it was TPG's fault but apparently our modem died so my brother went and bought a new one today when he figured it out. It works now so i'm happy. I've been so bored for the past 27ish hours *sigh*. I had a headache this morning and wasn't feeling up for school emotionally because yesterday was a rather horrible day and so i skipped school, not that i had much to do at home anyway since my internet wasn't working until now. I'm glad that i don't have the type of parents who would force me to go to school. I wish i could skip tomorrow too since it's presentation day and i only have one period of class but i guess i have to go since i'm getting an award. It's going to be so hot in the hall too, i can't remember if they have aircon there :S

I really hate this hot, sticky weather.

HP7

One hundred years later i finally had the time to go and watch HP7 today after school with Jess, Viv, Irene and Yvonne. I feel so delayed because everyone's watched it already ): I couldn't help but notice the things that they cut out or changed but apart from that it wasn't disappointing. I think i would rather that they released the film later but with the two parts at the same time because now i'm anticipating the next part even though i already know what'll happen. Hmm i wonder what the next big thing will be when HP officially ends.

Grr i'm going to get robbed of my free period again on Wednesday morning because we have practice for presentation day. I'm assuming that i have to attend even though i have a free but maybe i should ask just in case. It's going to be so pointless and boring.

*Sigh* Study time. Lafgjfnbfkjwegreogiasdjfiwoef so sick of school right now.

Finally Friday

It completely slipped my mind that we had to clean out our lockers by Monday but luckily Yvonne's sister gave me a lift home today. I had so many books in my locker that i had trouble just lugging them to her car. I thought my arm was going to fall off ): I got my Eco results back today and i don't know whether i should be happy or depressed because my stimulus test mark was worse than i expected. It's seriously jaw dropping bad but luckily i did surprisingly well in my essay so i kind of saved myself? I hope i continue to make up for that really bad mark. Thank god it was only 10% but i think my rank plunged down quite a big because of that )'; It's so depressing. Now i keep thinking of what Irene said to me: "Why do people fall? So they can pick themselves up."

I've always had this thought but recently i've been thinking about it more. I really dislike having a big group. You'd think that as time passes by we'd be getting closer but it's actually the opposite because everyone just ends up splitting into smaller groups even though we all sit together. To be honest, i liked it back when there were only a few of us.

Anyway, i have heaps of Maths studying to do tomorrow in preparation for the Maths Ext exam. After hearing Kristy say that Mr. Peaker is going to shove 3 hours worth of work in a 1 hour exam, i'm rather scared. I'm not smart enough to get brilliant but i feel that i've improved over time so hopefully i wont disappoint myself in this exam. Last one for this year!

Ahh since watching those auditions i've had You & I stuck in my head.

Mum's friend gave me a bottle of Chanel's new nail polish (Riva) as a gift *happy* :3 It's such a pretty colour.
