BusyBusyBusy

Sorry about not blogging for the past few days, i've been rather busy with school work. Nothing much has been happening really. I got back my Economics stimulus exam mark and i'm very happy with it :D Too bad it only weighs 10% though. Other than that, i've spent the last few days doing my Economics essay for my exam tomorrow. I just about finished memorising it (we ended up getting the question this time, although it's still an in-class exam so it's pretty much all about preparing one and memorising it) but i haven't exactly timed myself yet :| Usually i'd be pretty sure that i can write the amount of words i have but i realised that this exam is 5 minutes shorter than the amount of time we've been getting previously ); I'd like to say that i'm looking forward to the 3 day weekend but unfortunately i'll be drowning in English, Maths and possibly Japanese because i have all three exams next Tuesday. I probably won't end up studying for Japanese much though, English and Maths have way more priority in my list.

Off to time my essay now, bye bye.

My not so eventful day

I don't remember the last time i was so dead during school. I stayed up last night to watch the Roland Garros final but gave up when it was 5-5 during the second set because i was just too tired. I think it was around 1:30 am, which technically isn't that late because i sometimes sleep at that time :| I was pretty surprised at how well Federer was playing because i haven't seen him play that well in quite a while, but Nadal won in the end (7-5 7-6 5-7 6-1), yay! I was kind of expecting Djokovic to be in the final with Nadal but i guess he wasn't good enough to beat Federer, despite playing extremely well lately. Even though i was so tired by the time i gave up on tennis, i couldn't even fall asleep, or maybe it was because i put on my contacts really early and was wearing them when i wasn't even sleeping yet (which kind of makes my eyes uncomfortable).

Well whatever the reason, i was super drained at school and my left eye kept stinging. I went to ask for eye drops from the first aid and the lady gave me some unknown solution to rinse out my eye ( i think it was saline). I really should put some eye drops in my bag but i keep forgetting ); And then i started feeling rather stressed about the Economics exam even though it was only on two rather small topics. Thank god it turned out pretty simple though, and i wouldn't be surprised if a number of people get full marks. Now i have to prepare for my exam on Friday *sigh*.

People change and grow apart. I kind of miss the old times.

Skin and haircare haul

A few weeks back i was watching one of Fuzkittie's youtube videos and i kind of had a sudden realisation that i've been taking my generally clear skin for granted by not really taking care of it, so then i kind of went on a rampage and bought some things. Unfortunately my skin hasn't been that great lately, probably due to lack of sleep and stress. I also still haven't been able to find a product that successfully removes the ugly blackheads on my nose. I hate blackheads so much *angryface*. A lot of people have claimed that Biore pore strips work really well for them and i wouldn't even mind buying them frequently but they don't even work for me at all! It's not fair )'; I haven't tried a lot of the products yet but if any of them turn out awesome i'll be sure to blog about them.

Products top row (left to right):

Essential Rich Premier Shampoo, Essential Rich Premier Conditioner, Essential Rich Premier Ultra Honey Hair Mask (yellow jar), Essential Nuance Airy Ultra Honey Hair Mask (pink jar)

(Japanese brand) I've read a lot of great things about the Essential hair masks and have been meaning to try them for a while but they were out of stock on Sasa (A cosmetics chain store in Hong Kong) for quite a while. I find that a lot of their products are quite cheap compared to prices on Ebay and standard shipping to Australia is only $6. There is English on their site that is perfectly translated, except that on some of the products it says "exclusive of Hong Kong orders" which i thought meant that only Hong Kong customers can buy them, but in Chinese it actually says that they can't ship them to Hong Kong :S Other than that the English is fine. A lot of the popular products are often out of stock though, like the Fairy Drops Platinum Mascara which is only US $13.90. I also bought the shampoo and conditioner to try and they all smell so good :D

Note: don't rely on the "email me when stock comes in again" option because i find that it fails half the time.

Naruko Niaouli & Tea Tree T-Zone Blackhead Remover, Naruko Narcissus Total Defence Night Repairing Dew

(Taiwanese brand) Fuzkitte said that the blackhead remover is an amazing product and recommended it to anyone, even if you don't get breakouts.

Beautymate Bright Up Nano Eye Mask (box of 7)

(Taiwanese brand) Bought these because i have dark circles and eye bags, especially when i smile. I hope i notice some difference after using them. I've only used them once so far.

Products bottom row (left to right):

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

(American brand?) A lot of people have claimed that this mask works really well so i decided to give it a try. It claims to "helps dry up acne pimples, rise away blackheads & shrink enlarged pores". It's actually green - old school style, and kind of smells like toothpaste haha.

My Beauty Diary Strawberry Yoghurt Amino Acid Cleanser, My Beauty Diary Earl Grey Tea and Macaroon Mask (box of 10), My Beauty Diary Hello Kitty (limited edition packaging) Strawberry Yoghurt Mask (box of 10)

(Taiwanese brand) My Beauty Diary is well known for their masks which are really popular. They smell so yummy and make my face feel so refreshed (; A nice treat for when you're feeling tired and stressed out.

Anyway, i really need to study now. I have two Economics exams next week, one on Monday and the other on Friday. I really want to watch the Roland Garros finals on Sunday night (Nadal vs Federer) but i don't think i should stay up late when i have an exam the next day. We'll see, maybe i can sleep for a bit during the evening so i can wake up and watch it :S I'm expecting a 5 set match so it'll probably take a while.

Lectures

The Legal Studies lectures were today and i had to wake up extra early (6:45) so i could get to Hurstville by 8:30. I said i was going to be in bed by 11:30 last night and i ended up sleeping at around 12:40 so i only got 6 hours of sleep (which is not enough for me) so i was rather sleepy during the first lecture. I ended up getting coffee afterwards at the "canteen" in the Civic Centre and not only did it taste awful but the girl working there didn't put the lid on properly and it dripped on my jersey which made me rather annoyed. Blergh, just talking about the coffee made the taste come back. All in short, i found the lecture pretty pointless as i didn't learn anything i didn't already know, besides some things about the Family option but i probably would've known those things if we had started it already. Now i kind of don't want to go to the Economics one which is at the same place but i already paid for it so i guess i have to go );

Did i mention that my English exam, Maths Ext exam and Japanese exam are all on the same day? I feel screwed.

Athletics carnival

Even though the weather was rather gloomy today, i had so much fun at the athletics carnival. It's so sad that it's our last one )'; I actually felt like running for once but i didn't have any sneakers or shorts so no running for me. My throat hurts, i think i yelled and screamed too much haha.

A few photos:

Hehe Christine was knitting and she taught me how to knit :D
