hello there.

HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~

Basking in the post-exam happy bubble :D

Not that i think i did very well. but hahaha... i don't care right now.

tea... ho ho ho...

Been going out a fair bit, so lots of photos... naha...

It was my grandma's eightieth birthday on the weekend before my last exam :D

So my aunts came down from Vancouver for the two weeks during my exam period. It was pretty cool, there was so much going out to eat food or eating crazy amounts of awesome food at home because they didn't want to go out.

And I missed out on 3 more outings haha. Cause i had to study T.T

Thursday. Last exam day.

SO HAPPY TO HAVE FINISHED.

Went out to get ramen for dinner in the city at Ippudo with ML and NJ. I think she had just come back from Melbourne! :D

The ramen was super tasty! I really like ramen haha... I think this was like, specialty ramen. It took ramen to the NEXT LEVEL. RAMEN UPGRADED.

The wierd rice thing came with extra nori and ginger to be put in like halfway to "change the flavour of the meal and make it a more refreshing experience." the rice was to be put in after the noodles were finished.

I asked ML what he thought and he was like "it just tastes like more ginger now." haha what a cutie. 

Saw KL in the city when coming back. He was very drunk. First time talking to a drunk person. 

I think it was a rather... enlightening experience.

Friday

Did some last minute pack up for my prep to move out. Then watched a couple of episodes of High School of the Dead before I got side tracked. 

I think it was actually pretty scary sometimes. Other than that, boob physics of the show is kinda ridiculous. :D

Day didn't exactly go as hoped the day before, but it still went a little along the way? 

I guess I can't help myself sometimes. 

Towards the end, when i got kinda sleepy and cold and just crawled in bed; i think that was the nicest bit :3

---

Saturday 

After work met up with the girls for dinner and dessert at towers! So happy to see everyone again :'D Got all emotional and everything nahaha. 

When I came back home, watched a late night movie with my mum and sister called Blindness (imdb link here)

I think it really made me question what would I do if I was in that situation. I kinda wish i had seen it in year 11 and used it for a related text of something, I dunno what. Maybe human condition. I dunno.

It's really dark though. Super dark. But it has a lighter finish.

I really want to read the book now.

If I was stuck with no sight in the soceity/kingdom of the blind, would i become like the crazy guys? With no morals and live for selfish pleasure at the expense of others? Would I try to oppose injustice, or would I buckle under and ensure I don't create opposition? 

I dunno. It's hard to think.

Sunday & Today

I really feel its the beginning of the hols. Lazy days that stretch out into nothing. I kinda did laundry today, and going through a wardrobe cleanse. i.e throwing out garbage bags full of clothes in the donation bins :D

Its taking a while to decide what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of.

Just finished reading Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper and Sam Hawksmoor's The Repossession.

My sister's keeper made me cry when i was reading it, and cry again when i was explaining it to my sister...

lol.

But yeah holiday party atmosphere :D

PARTY LIKE THE DOCTOR!!!!!!!

Coolest snap chat drawing ever.

Also I'm totally in love with minions. Minions are 2nd on the list of things i want but can't have. Luckily McDonalds decided I could have a toy one.

It was really weird buying this, cause i kid you not, when the guy came out and realised this tall fat asian girl wanted the happy meal, he kinda just looked bemused and told me to enjoy the toy. :p

I want ALL THE MINION TOYS.

K bai :D

accounting

welp, i'm mad at myself about it.

I didn't time manage very well. ergh. i know that im going to be mad with whatever i get, cause i could have done better.

i am so very very screwed for stats. not even funny.

also, i have fallen in love.

a one true love.

a one shoe love.

I know, its terribly Asian, but it's adorable! the 8cm wedge, the black, the possibility for cosplay yet everyday functionality of it... *swoon*

---

yesterday i went to rice auditions, to audition little kiddies who want to rice.

Although it was more like me having fun ahahahahha.

i cannot dance for the life of me.

---

ok i gotta go back to cramming.

lol jokes what is study?

ITS SO TERRIBLY COLD I HATE WINTER

I hope i don't get sick... :(

FINISHED PERDISCO!!!!

HAPPIEST CHAPPIE ALIVE.

83%. What the heck, good enough :D

THANK YOU JIN. AND RL WHO SENT ME ANSWERS, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER.

And it's only 4am :D

Did quant test in tute today, was freaking out for it but it was actually alright :)

ONTO ECON PRESENTATION!

(I'VE HAD WAY TOO MUCH COFFEE TONIGHT)

wibbly wobbly timey wimey (picture heavy)

(Didn't publish this yestrday, so tacking today at the bottom aha...)

Also this is very experimental cause I'm using my phone and the updated blogger app that allows photos! So let's see what happens eh? :D

THURSDAY - Pop up store and Newtown madness.

(8:30am)

Sitting at the bus stop in costume watching the bus go by.

I think I might be late to the opening, which means I woke up early all excitedly and put on costume possibly for no reason. 

Oh well.

As I sit here, I realise I have an itchy spot on my foot. But I'm wearing boots so I can't scratch it.

#firstworldproblems

---

(3:00pm)

Ah it was so worth skipping lectures to go :D

The line was really long, and we got there like exactly 5 minutes before the opening. Was hoping to get there earlier, but I wasn't willing to go alone AHAHA...

But it was pretty crazy! The line went like at least 5 meters back from the door when we got there and it didn't stop growing. I swear, the line wa longer after we left than before we got in haha. 

They only allowed a limited number of people inside the store at a time, so we had to wait another like hour and a half before we could go in.

They gave us chocolate TARDIS cake! (It was super tasty too.)

But there were some pretty cool people in line with pretty cool costumes, so it was pretty cool talking to fellow whovians. 

I think the coolest was the weeping angel outfit.

She was pretty freaky. 

I ended up buying two tshirts (one for me and one for a present) and a baker scarf :D

The scarf was the equivalent of two tshirts :( super expensive!

But whatever. #noregrets.

Went exploring with Jin after. Newtown seems to be a hipster paradise. Everything is "antique" or "unique" or "vintage" or "handmade Eco-friendly" or "recycled" or "reimagined"

They have the coolest stuff.

We stumbled into this amazing antiques store which no joke had an entire wall of antique cameras.

They also remade old vintage equipment. Like this old tv turned mirror.

I wish I was filthy rich, because I could buy almost everything in Newtown. 

My entire house would look like it's from the 1940s if I had a choice. 

We also ate Oporto (yummy) and had a sleepy bus ride home :) 

Oh someone rang the doorbell.

---

8:00pm

It was the postman with a package. He brought my stockings ehehe.

I think I'm a bit too addicted to snapchat. Also snapchat is not entirely healthy. 

My favourite snaps & amazing drawing abilities (I know screen shotting, haha)

Hehe

FRIDAY - econ exam and baby sitting

Well, exam was terrible. 

The baby sitting bit was quite fun though :) 

Although I have to say, putting the kids to sleep made me very sleepy too :p even though it was like 8:30 HAHA. 

Looking forward to parties and fun :D 

Goodnight :)

Catch up (picture heavy)

uwaaaaa past few days have been SUPER BUSY!!!

Tuesday

It was really nice when mh and bt came to UNSW for a visit, i was so happy to see them. It was cool just lying on the grass chilling in the sun eating wedges ahaha

Also RL so cute, being so excited and all to take photos in the glass hallway hahahaha :3

Ah i love girls, friends who are girls are the greatest (L)

no offence to male friends, because you're important too. I don't have enough friends, i can't loose my male ones ahaha....


----

Wednesday

Baby sitting from 8-3 :)

It was actually really fun, even if i was SUPER TIRED from staying up late studying... ahahaha.

We made a sword and shield out of the strange lego connect and he was SO HAPPY with it, he kept running around and didn't want to put it down to eat lunch.

So to make him eat, we had a picnic in the back yard and pretended he was a king and went on adventures, defeating dragons and finding dinosaurs and magical plants that heal kingdoms and give them food that makes bread fall from the sky and meet fairies and catch 'baddies' ahaha

Little kids imagine playtime is so cute.

Stairs become mountains and cubby houses become castles and stepping stones become raging rivers with crocodiles and backyards are forests and garages are caves...

(I also made glasses with the lego connect thing, but it's not as cool as the sword and shield i fashioned.)

After work i went to Artarmon vinnies, which was closing down... seriously why are all the vinnies closing down? it's so sad! I bought a cotton on brown skater skirt for $4, a cotton on orange blouse for $3, a black kind of overall type dress for $6, and ripped pattern black stockings for $2... ehehehe. 

Good bargains :D

No photos cause i cbb LOL.

Also went to Chatswood and bought instant noodles (again)

This time i bought tonkatsu instant ramen! 

Also, whilst in chatswood, i bought milk pudding :)

I frickin love this stuff, it's like custard but not, and awesome. :D

Even my house mate who's lactose intolerant had a bit and wanted more AHAHAHA

Also bought jammy dodgers and tea, because that stuff is addictive. 

If just because they were in Doctor Who. :D

Also had a talk about alter egos. What would your personality be like if you were the opposite gender?

It was actually pretty interesting setting up what i would chose to be like as a male... ahahaha.

I kind of imagined a slightly more responsible luffy. :p

---

Thursday

Basically crashed at jin's the ENTIRE DAY. I feel bad for his parents, they're super nice...

It was REALLY FUN, but not very productive, even though i went over to study, because all i did was tease him AHAHAHAHA.

But really, he's so adorable, what am i supposed to do? :3 

Adorable people are meant to be teased. Sorry bro >.<

BUT IF YOU WEREN'T SO CUTE I WOULD HATE YOU.

lol jokes jokes, i wouldn't. but it wouldn't be the same. :(

Also watched that surgeon simulation game review online, and couldn't stop laughing for AGES.

I seriously hope that that's not medical procedures... 

We ate the tonkatsu ramen whilst there, cause i brought it over... IT TASTED AWESOME. 

Also, because it was so cold (i didn't expect to stay so long, it just kind of... happenned... ahaha) I stole his onesie. And he's probably never getting it back. Unless i get another onesie. 

It's a cow.

Aha.

---

Friday

Today was mostly just cramming for work (like always ahahahahaha)

Made the decision to go for Rice leadership. I wonder if i'll regret it... aha.

but after class studied for a bit then went to yogiberry!

The yogiberrybunny took an instant liking to Jin. It's cause he's adorable. AHAHAHAHA.

50% off! Last day! Big bowl of yogiberry for only $6!!!

You jelly bro? Froyo bro! ahahahahaha

Ended up at Jin's house again... it's far too conveniently close to uni to NOT end up there, i think. 

okies im tiredskies :)

Night!

sleeeeeep

I'm terribly sleep deprived. I stayed up almost all night (slept at 7am and woke up a 11am) becuase of accounting and economics tute hw.

Argh. I feel so behind on uni and it's only week 6.

I realised there's actually a SUPER attractive guy in my accounting tute that i never noticed before. Probably because i gave up on the hope of making friends with the girls and started to observe the males.

I've always thought he was like decently good looking, but he wore glasses today and BAM. INSTANTLY HIS ATTRACTIVE LEVELS SOARED.

Like i couldn't concentrate on accounts payable or all that jazz... too distracted by ultimatestudmuffins face...

lol jokes im not that superficial.

sort of. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

IM SO TIRED.

WHEN IM TIRED I DO SILLY THINGS PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Summer falls, and so does the rain. Non stop.

hehe i have officially converted a friend to the great Dr Who series. :3

He's watching all the episodes frantically haha.

Also I have barely studied this mid sem break D: where did all my time go? (i know where it went: divided equally between sleeping, cooking, dr who and manga ==")

...

I have a massive dilemma.

My house has no dryer. But i washed my clothes 3 days ago, but i didn't take it down from the clothesline.

Now they're sitting in the rain.

What should i do?!? If i leave it out for too long they'll go mouldy, but if i take it down i have no where to put it. *cries*

Ah dilemma!!

...

Cooking for the household is kinda fun. I'll start be deciding what to make, and then about 15 minutes in (after I've done all the prep and the smell of food starts floating) the girls will come in and watch haha.

Also, we talk about retarded things and sing songs :)

I've realised it's a very 'girls' house. Like, we leave stuff lying around we can't leave lying around if there were guys here, but because we're all girls no one cares. ^^

...

I said i would steal it, and so i did.

THIS TOOK SO MUCH LONGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD.

why hello there

well so much has been happening and i don't even remember the last time i wrote something here.

I think the last time i wrote something was before i went to malaysia. Which was like (feels like) years ago.

Now we're all uni students, living the uni days life, (possibly) partying it up and (less likely) studying hard.

Also, I moved out! Temporarily. I'm staying at a friend's place till her brother gets back from Hong Kong cause her dad doesn't want her living alone.

Actually, she's really nice, and cute, but she doesn't know how to cook. So I'm kind of the house mates unoffical cook. lol.

But she takes amazing photos! She took a really nice one for me when i came back from ANIMANIA in costume.

OMG ANIMANIA WAS SO MUCH FUN. Although it turns out i suck at dancing compared to the king/queen of dance.

Breaking out those traditional Earth Ballads. (HAHA CASSANDRA)

Speaking of Doctor Who, OMG I LOVE CLARA. SHE'S SO PRETTY AND SMART AD CLEVER AND ASDFGHJKL AWESOME.

And Matt Smith is such a cutie. SO CUTE.

I'm really excited for Doctor Who Anniversary. I wish they brought back eccly as well as tenny. :( BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE JACK. (one can tell where my values lie, ne?)

How are you guys finding uni? I'm really enjoying uni - aka the ramen days - but i kinda miss school. :( Having all my friends in the one place is really convenient. And now i realise how completely ANTI SOCIAL AND HERMIT I AM. I have made like next to no new friends, except for some dudes in my tutes. And according to my friends, they just want to *ahem* get friendly. :(

I WANT FEMALE FRIENDS. WHY DOES MY TUTES HAVE NO FEMALES. COMMERCE HAS LOTS OF GIRLS.

It's so sad! Acutally tbh during lectures I'm scared to sit with a bunch of girls because they're all already friends and it's hard to enter their friend circle.

Why do girls travel in packs? They're never alone. It's hard to approach girls in groups.

haha last time i was telling this to my church friend and she said i sounded like a desperate guy at the bar. She then told me to go and ask desperate guys at the bar for advice on how to approach women.

I think that would go down well, don't you? :p

Hope you guys enjoy mid sem break!

Almost Christmas!

It's almost Christmas :D :D :D

And the only reason i know is because of the ever increasing hours of orchestra practice we have until the actual Christmas Eve concert, haha.

To bribe us, the conductor, (We call her Aunty, like real asians lol) give us monogrammed cookies and also cookies with faces. She's a professional baker as well as music teacher! So she's really good at both cookies and yelling at us when we're off a semitone. lol.

TBH, sometimes, i get SO sleepy during rehersals, that I fall asleep at the piano, and I wake up finding myself playing the final chord. And AuntyS is all "you played very well" and I don't really know how I finished the piece... lol

Tomorrow it's Christmas eve! Or I think it's today by the time I post this haha. Do you guys have any plans? I can't wait for Christmas, with our present openings and Christmas foods. :D :D :D I'M SO EXCITED!

Do you have any family traditions at Christmas? In my family, everyone wakes up early to open presents, and then we go to a church service, and then I help my mum make food for Christmas lunch, which is taken at my YehYeh's place (So my Dad's parents lol) and my grandma makes like a bajillion dishes, no joke. Then we head to my PorPor's (mum's mum) and we eat MORE food (and prep more food), all the while picking up and giving out presents.

It's a very fattening and fulfilling day.

Tomorrow i'm going to go baby sit before going to the concert, (as in orchestra, not some crazy fun event lol) and i'm doing christmas crafts and baking cookies with the kids! It's going to be hella fun haha. I hope. lol.

If you're interested, i'm making this recipe.

Basic Shortbread (about 14-16 cookies [big ones])

Ingredients

• 2 cups plain flour

• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 225g unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• decorations optional 

Directions

1. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Wisk together flour and salt. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sugar, and continue to beat until pale and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides of bowl, about 2 minutes more. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture, and mix on low speed, scraping sides if necessary, until flour is just incorporated and dough sticks together when squeezed with fingers.

2. Turn out dough, forming into 2 disks; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.

3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out 1 disk to a 1/2centimetre thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutter, and transfer to prepared baking sheets. Reroll scraps. Repeat with remaining disk. Indent cookies with desired stamps. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes. Bake until firm and golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

yum yum yum cookies

Bye guys!
