bb love

i ve got myself a new blackberry!
pin 20F817F2.
i love it so much its with me 24/7.
it sits on my washsink when i shower
on my dashboard when i drive
and it even has a little space on my pillow. haha
okay i sound like a nut, but i fully understand why people started using the term crackberry

so addictive omg.

i m still looking for a good application which allows me to blog from my bb
but once thats done, i ll be super contactable and regular with updating
:D

i m on an evangelising mission
EVERYONE GET BB!

exams finished 5 days ago
has it been so long already?

caught up with Joyce for dinner at Grilled
woman is going to back to Singapore soon for good
sigh
:(

simon says and the spicy one i like

little tip, dont ever bring your first date to Grilled
its impossible to eat and look glam.
i was pleased cause i thought i didnt do too badly
then realised i had a glob of sauce on my jumper
urgh.

met up with Bri before she s leaving to Shanghai
really short little meeting cause she still has exams
but went to Max Brenner's
was caught between chocolate heaven and waistline hell
but the licks are to die for
i think we had 4. lol

dark truffle and the nut pralines

tutti frrrrruittttttiii

went for karaoke after at Partyworld
that was a bit off a write off, cause i cant really recall what happened
their drinks always do that to me.
but managed to con Jason into coming with me again
cause i wanna SING!


watched Transformers with the Vietnamese Health bunch at IMAX yesterday
big screen made me feel sea-sick as
but i soon got over that.
dayum, megan fox is hot, especially in the opening scene when she s on the bike
drooooool

IMAX function room



i love optimus prime. hes completely sexy. like when he says: 'but what if you are wrong?' ooohhhhh.

had Science end of exams party after
at Colonial Hotel
felt a massive pang when i was there, Clare, remember Castle and Panda
haha.
spent half the night in line at the friggin cloakroom
and the other half fighting off mild claustrophobia
they defnitely let in way too many people
i spent a good half hour viciously jabbing people with my elbow to get some space.
got pretty crabby in the end.

but i did manage to take a pretty picture








i think i like it when some people are tipsy
cause a certain inebriated someone told me something
and it was easily the nicest thing i ve heard for a good long time
and i would never have expected if the person had been sober
thank you :)

oh and i think i m damn unhealthy. i got the results of my lung function test and my lung function has dropped by more than 30%
shit.
and my gastric health also cannot make it.
i need to get more healthy!
like absolutely bursting with heartiness
okay i m not going to go out for bubbletea tonight.

going for houseboat holiday on monday, will be back on the 3rd. till then!
love

father's day

Happy Father's Day!

went with parents to Gold Leaf
which is a cantonese yum cha place which has restaurants at Burwood, Springvale and Docklands

personally i like the Springvale branch myself
they put the yum in 'yum cha!'
haha sometimes i m so witty i kill myself.

we went early and maybe because of that the service was good
surprisingly.
it seems most yum cha places pride themselves on substandard service
(hello sharkfin inn)
but this one was very different.

all in all we had a very nice time
before dad flies off again tomorrow
:(

<3 dad (and the siew mai he's eyeing)

oysters with X.O sauce

pretty good, and they werent stingy with the X.O!

sharkfin's soup
UBER DROOLLLLLLLLL. droolicious! i had to make up a word for this dish because its so good! dont usually have it because of animal rights etc, but this time i had to. with heaps of vinegar, the way i like it.

soup: macro function on my camera is spoilt right! why so fuzzy?!

abalones with ginger topping

btw is it AH BAH LONE OR A BA LON EE
can someone tell me

one of my many weaknesses. egg tarts. luckily it wasnt the portugeuse type (browned on the outside creme brulee style), if not i would have had at least 2 more! or 5! hehe

i like this but i never know what its called, and ordering the dessert that looks like 'a pair of boobs' doesnt quite cut it. so imagine how happy i was today that we ordered some! has some concoction of brown sugar, coconut and peanut stuffed inside. yums! :D

my diet is shot to pieces
but whatever, its winter, no one can tell when i put my coat on!

LAST PAPER TOMORROW
CELEBRATIONS
CONGRATULATIONS
FELICITATIONS

:DDDDDDDDDD

i m so excited about this momentous occassion i ve got two Tattslotto cards to fill out after my paper, so maybe my good luck will rub off.

heee heee.

hanabishi 2

had a dinner tonight with parents,
and after much deliberation we decided to go to Hanabishi on King St


place was crowded and we had to wait some time for our food
but boy do i love that place.
melbourne's friggin best jap food!

chanty are you drooling now.
omg i feel so stuffed, but happy.

Hanabishi oyster shooters and the meatball thingo. i rang them last night and asked for the fattest juiciest ones to be kept for us, and they did! my oyster was so fat it was stuck in the glass and i had to most unglamly use my chopstick to fish it out. :/

Sashmi and sushi. FYI chanty, they dont do the ice bowl one for a la carte anymore

Wagyu beef, YUUUMMMMMMMM. it melted in my mouth and left the most exquiste fatty taste

miso cod

their best dish for me, barramundi baked in bamboo leaves and salt kiln

fortified tawny port

apparently the chef gets up each morning to market for produce
and it shows.
there's nothing better than fresh seafood!

had a good bitch with the owner about Nobu's kitchen, which, (you didnt hear this from me), has been ordered to cut costs by saving on ingredients. DODGY!

ended up at Ten Ren after for dessert

after such gruelling exams, this combination of food/drink/family/friends is so potent i feel like i ve died and gone to heaven. haha.

btw, who knows anything about photography?
my camera wont focus, whats wrong with it?


okay so now leighton meester of gossip girl fame has a sex tape too?

link here

this is getting mainstream, wonder if in a few years time nobody will even bat an eyelid anymore
guess we can call this the paris hilton effect, sluttifying us all.

haha
not even sure what my reaction is anymore.
disapproving? amused?

i think i need sleep
but No Doz Plus is such a powerful drug i cant fall asleep yet

liar!

during my pathology exam today someone set off the fire alarm
we all had to be evacuated 10 minutes before the paper ended
and IT WAS A FALSE ALARM.
i m annoyed because i dont want to have to re-sit the paper
or have it discounted (counts for 30%)
but unfortunately these seem to be the two likely options the university will consider.

ARRRGH.
shouldnt have studied last night for it, cause now i m all burnt out for tomorrow's paper, and it turned out to be a waste of time.
sigh.
but thats in retrospect, i m not sure i would be any more inclined to study tonight anyway.

i ve been taking No Doz plus, the little caffiene tablets, to stay awake
desperate time calls for desperate measures!
going to crash so badly tomorrow when i can finally slllllleeeeeeeep.

was reading the paper in the train
and read about this belgian girl who is sueing a tattoo artist for the cost of having her tattoos removed (10,000 pounds)

she claims she asked for 3 stars under her eye, then fell asleep during the procedure, and woke up with 56.
what utter rubbish.
as if its possible to fall asleep when your FACE is being tattooed!

plus her friend went with her to the parlour and was there during the procedure!
there s a big difference between 56 stars and 3, you think she would have noticed if the tattoo artist was really doing it against instructions



liar!! i bet she got told off by her dad and then decided to sue the guy because it was the easiest way out.

what a douche! lucky for her the the tattoo artist is a nice guy
if it were me i would counter sue!

read more about it here

dad!

i must apologise for the lack of updates re. my daily outfits
but i havent been leaving the house much lately
however this time next week i ll be a day away from finishing my exams
and after that i promise you more photos will come!

also, hopefully with a bit of luck (and HTML help)
the layout of the blog can be made easier to navigate
i dont have an 'older posts' button and its driving me nuts

so anyway
guess what
Dad is on the plane enroute to Melbourne right NOW!
i m excited, i finally get to see and hug him after so many months

mom's been excited too, she s been cooking/baking all day
and we got fresh flowers for the house.

i wish he would be here for longer (he s only staying a week)
and that it wasnt right smack bang in the middle of my exams
but i m glad he s coming anyway after the H1N1 flu scare.

:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

and not only that, i benefit from mom's crazy cooking
i was just lamenting the fact that i dont seem to be losing weight even though i try to eat less than normal

but now i realise
its cause of MOM.

i m drinking some yummy asian chicken ginseng soup she made
and its 1am.
opps.
and i keep biting into pieces of ginger thinking its ginseng
yeeuch i cant stand ginger.
wow i love this pic. my heart went thump really loudly when i saw it.

luxirare

stumbled upon luxirare when i was web-browsing
the site is amazing!!
hers is different from that of the other style bloggers i read,
because she blogs equally about food and fashion.
its like having a fan site for both Marilyn Manson and the Jonas brothers, but she totally makes it work. (p.s Manson and Lady Gagas' new work= hot)
and the clothes she makes are just incredible
INCREDIBLE!
and, i dont know how she does it, but her photos are so big and clear

i cant help waxing lyrical about it
take at look below at her creations
both of the sartorial and gastronomical variety

lace-up black skinnies, nude motorcycle jacket, silk and organza dress
her version of eggs benedict and truffle icecream (both with recipes!!!!)

she brings DIY to a whole new level
i think i found my new girl crush
omg



tell me you dont feel it too

whilst blogging, i remembered what yi told me ages ago
because i m not one of the naturally skinny girls and i love food
its always a challenge balancing my weight

she said that if i only eat good food
i ll be fine
plus its costs more so i wont have $$ to blow on crap like fast food.
trick is, the only part, and discerning what counts as good food
but i m working on it!

but yes my point is, luxirare is totally making that statement too
i imagine.
well thats what i got anyway, lol

fashion is having the biggest backlash against boho
i never even got to wear half my floral dresses

everything i m craving now is sculptural, tie dyed, distressed, studded, has fur or a combination thereof.

which begets the question
i love it now, but will i love it in six months?

i overdosed on boho the last time, i never ever want to see a floral maxi again.

fashiontoast, armani prive eyeshadow, givenchy boots, unknown, gripp editorial

sigh. plus looking at these pictures reminds that i am in fact a student
who has to dress 'professional' 3 days a week
and therefore will not have many opportunities to wear these out
or have them appreciated/understood

and the biggest problem is sometimes i just dont get up early enough to do the requisite styling

bah.

speaking of wearing fur

i know this must be incredibly slow, given that X factor is long over
but i just recently jumped on the Susan Boyle bandwagon
yes, i finally youtubed her and watched her performance of Memory from Cats
slightly underwhelming, but pretty good

i watched Cats when they were in Singapore when i was young
and it gave me the heebie jeebies
those humans pretending to be cats and contorting themselves weirdly
with fur where hair should never ever be on humans

urgh
its too unnnatural
i know Cats has a huge following
but i only like two things from it
the song Memory by Elaine Page
and the name MacCavity. lol

hrm.
maybe i ll rethink the fur gilet

ihateexams

welcome to a snapshot of my current state in life
too many words are boring right? so enjoy the pics.

EXAMS
are the bane of my life. they cause me to show signs, including but not limited to, increased moodiness, insomnia, mock suicidal thoughts, procrastination and incessant whining. do not disturb unless i m mood swinging and its on a high, or you bring with you blessed coffee. bonus points for a double long black no sugar.

summarised as such below



AFTER EXAMS
oooh i m so pumped for this. i even made a friggin collage of my after exam plans. just thinking about it makes me feel all fluffy
and now, i can see it represented pictorially! wheee~
seriously. i think i m actually glowing

horse riding, japanese bath/shiatsu massage, hot springs, karaoke, long overdue dinner at The Press Club (blackforest panna cotta= love) and houseboat holiday



haha
man, i plan a mean winter break.

if i ve tempted you with any of the above, come please!
they re all in melbourne

the japanese ofuroya is at 59 Cromwell St, Collingwood
riding is at Gunnamatta Trail Rides (bri you re booked for this)
hot springs are at Peninsula Hot Springs on Springs Lane, Rye
the Press Club in on Flinders. (70?) cbf googling!

boating trips are available from Dinky Di Houseboat holidays, CANNOT WAIT.


because i ve gone photo collage crazy again
i have made one of the current things i m obssessing over/need right now
consider it a tack on to yesterday's list




House of Harlow 1960 cuff, YSL cage belt (the 3 row one), chilli tapioca crisps(cravvveeee), strappy C Loubs, BMW S1000 RR, good mee pok (but from where in Melbourne?!), sacred heart tattoos, Koko Black chai chocolates

also, guess who has a stockist in Melbourne?!
yes
PAMELA LOVE.
here are some things from her 09 AW catalouge, and best thing is there is no international postage/waiting because you can get them from Glitzern in the city



i want the heart necklace. the claw cuff. the ram ring. omg everything everything
drool

i need a job
sigh


looking through my photos brought back so many memories from this time last year
i havent seen you all in ages, its shocking
i miss you guys, and i m so bummed you guys arent coming this time
you too yuans.
vince you hobo i know you dont read my blog
so chanty, pass on the message

I HEARTZZ YOU ALL.



oh and i ll leave you with this last thought of mine
well actually more like, an epiphany

i never thought i am a committment phobe
far from, actually.
but looking at past relationships/lack of pets/lack of long term anything
omg
i think i am.

i cant even sign a 24 month plan with optus without worrying if it ll work out.
if optus is really the one
if i ll regret it cause maybe telstra will be better

yikes

milktoof

i am so completely and totally swooning
i cant stop cooing

i ve found the cutest things ever
they re so adorable i bet even guys who saw them would spontaneously ovulate

remember da mu zi
this is like da mu zi times 100.

i like teeth
hard not to when i ve been drawing/touching/seeing/studying them for the past few years
but this
this is a whole new level
ahHHHHHHH KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

so there are these milkteeth
called ickle and lardee

you must check them out here
the creator is genius.
a genius with a lot of time on his hands
but still
brilliant.

lardee is chubby
and scared of showers
(i dont know why everything fat in this world is completely cute except for women)
but yes

they shower together

even though lardee doesnt like it. so ickle gives him his rubber duckie

ickle learns to cycle in a japanese park

ickle and lardee meet new friends

ickle likes reading his book, even when lardee is having a party behind him

ickle likes sleeping in (me too ickle me too!)

sometimes they even visit the beach

haha
omg so cute

:D

okay my one aim in life since i was 14 has been to be suave and mysterious.
like James Bond
or Mark Harmon in NCIS

guess that ll never be, cause they ll never spend hours cooing over porcelain teeth figurines

or maybe they do?

boom!

this is going to be a long explosive post because i ve kept everything in my head for too long and i havent seen many humans around to chatter to because of exams.

i usually dont like online shopping that much
thats more of Clare's forte.
i m more of an instant gratification kind of girl

i like the unbearable agony of having to choose at the store
the blood sugar rush of handing over my card/cash
watching the sales assistant wrap up my purchase
and then carrying the crisp new paper bags home

actually they dont stay crisp for that long, cause sometimes i have to resort to extraordinary lengths to smuggle them up to my room so no one judges
this could involve me hiding the bags in my car boot and sneaking down at 3 am when everyone is sleeping to get them, or hiding all the house phones in the basement, ringing it from my mobile then running up to my room and hiding everything under the bed while mom hunts for the phones. perfectly executed like i m in a SWAT team! but thats another topic for another time.

back to me not being into online shopping
somehow, that all reverses itself in exam time
maybe its the stress plus not leaving the house much
i spend hours online, on long distance calls to Clare
each of us searching up things on our to-buy list before emailing each other the images
our conversation is like a new sort of tribal language
'ooh must have that.. did you see... omg omg'
'ahh i like.. but... hmm'
it doesnt make sense
(X overheard and was like -_-' the entire time)
but somehow it works because we both know exactly what we mean

anyway!
i have new things on my to-buy list

this bag cause i need a new school bag


a silk collar from somewhere (but where?! i m still searching)


LV tights, i thought they were hideously tacky at first but have they have now grown on me


House of Harlow jewellery
because i need a cuff and that fat-black-with-a-gold-dot-thing one is perfect

and a motorbike. I NEED A MOTORBIKE. I HATE FINDING PARKING
wyn can park her motorbike ANYWHERE. like, on a sidewalk. NO FEES.
NO CLOSING TIME. NO JAMS.

did i mention i love Cultstatus
i want the Balenciaga Pom Pom (half the reason why is because of the name
what bag are you carrying? the POM POM haahahahaha)
and Yves Saint Laurent Arty cuff and ring

exam time is never good for my mental well being
and that of my pocket

half of this to-buy list is pure exorbitant fantasy
i lose the plot a little bit sometimes




i m in a brilliant mood
because
1.pharmacology exam is over, thank god

2.roland garros might be over but wimbledon is here soon
bri and i have discovered fed love.

3. i had din at Happy Cook
the duck is so gooddddddddddd my whole mouth just filled with saliva. yes unglam i know, but there you go. its pure magic.

4. i found a pic on facebook where i m in flats and my legs actually look longish


5. Emma Watson is so gorgeous in these ads i have fallen in love all over again with Burberry and Harry Potter




6. cue Roadarte dress which i dont care what anyone else says, i think is amazing



7. Posh is carrying my bag and if a woman who has $2.8 million worth of Hermes bags alone is carrying my bag, i feel like i ve made a good choice. cause obviously if she buys that many bags she has good taste right? lets collectively ignore her WAG phase.


8. reading fmylife always makes me feel better by comparison

oh and dad arrives in 5 days!


not so happy
because
1.i have more exams

2.Shopbop wont ship this pair of heart-stopping Balmains over. no seriously i was all ready to get them, credit card in hand, and i was thinking, stuff budgeting cause only boring accountant-type people make spreadsheets and if i dont have these my wardrobe wont go with anything else and then i can never wear clothes again because i ll forever be dreaming of these shoes and they even have it in my size and dad wont mind cause i havent bought shoes in ages, plus he ll want me to wear clothes, then i realised, i had to choose the one thing on Shopbop that cant be delivered outside the US.



3. this sort of Ruebenesque figure isnt considered hot anymore. do you know how much i hate dieting.

damn you kate moss for stupid heroin chic. its not even LEGAL.

4. i dont see the hype about RPat and if i read more more thing about how 'lustworthy' the overexposed manky bugger is, i will hurl i swear.


5. Over dinner my friends kept talking about Left 4 Dead.
i am woefully reminded of my terrible gaming skills especially L4D
and feel the sudden urge to Counterstike.
i miss CS

6. Nobody is coming to Melbourne in July anymore. stupid flu.
no Clare no Lee no Vince :(

but somehow despite the above 6, i am in a very good mood.
a very loquacious mood as well.
dont know why, maybe its the coffee

okay now who s going to Japan soon
i want green tea cola and basil pepsi please!

sounds interesting doesnt it?




i ve always wished i had a different persona on my blog
where i let my flightier, more materialistic side come out
so you know, i m more mature and serious when you meet me in real life
less valley girl more michelle obama
but apparently

i sound exactly like this when i talk
yikes.

i cant decide
should i really blow $$ on the LV tights which i cant wear after it becomes passe?
should i get a BB and be prepared to pay it off myself for 2 years?
should i get my motorbike license/motorbike or is that hopelessly unfeminine?
should i care?

should i start studying?
a) yes yes yes no yes
b) no no no yes yes
c) yes no no no yes
d) yes yes no no no
e) no yes no yes yes

the agony!!!

haha okay i ve procrastinated enough
xx!
