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

recently

i haven't been blogging very regularly. ehe. i feel like my life is too boring to write about something that happenned every day, so collations of days seem helpful.

Wednesday

$2.50 moochi! The line was quite insane though. I couldn't even fit it in one photo. lol.

The wait was an hour long! But it's worth it, i think. I mean, retail price was like $6, so tis more than half price! I really like froyo.

But it was super cold to eat, cause it was rainy and windy :(

I actually wanted to get the coconut and green tea flavour, but they had run out when i got to the line, so i changed to biscotti and watermelon instead. :p safe choice aha.

---

Also, i showed this illustration someone sent on me snapchat to my sister, and she laughed cause it's so legit.

My sister dubbed it "100% accurate." Which is slightly depressing. But kinda true. I have a very empty, vague kinda grumpy appearance when I'm just woken up or still super sleepy. :(

Thursday

Total leaf carpet at UNSW today. It was windy and leaves were everywhere! Though i kinda like that about autumn. But i hate the rain.

fallen brown carpet
not quite a cracking sound
because of the rain.

I kinda made this reverse gif cause i was bored while waiting for my tute. I just liked the leaves looking like they're magnetised to my foot. ehehehe.

I'm really silly.

Went out with the girls for dinner! was so excited about this like ALL DAY aha.

I think i ate too much :/ too much food everywhere!

But then i only ate plain bread... no food at the house right now, i'm just too poor... lol.

But it was really cool, cause i wanted KFC before i went, but i didn't want to buy it cause i have no money... sniff... but we got fried chicken anyway, so i sated my friend chicken desires :) And it was nice! Like kinda spicy, like the way my grandma makes it. Probably because all malaysians season it the same or something, i dunno.

I think Laksa Fried Chicken is the best. It actually tastes amazing :D

Also, Roti Dessert :) I love roti. I noted they added sugar to theirs to make it sweeter and more carmelised on the outside. Probably to help keep it in the cone shape, instead of being all flaky and hot and collasping on itself, yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

food of my childhood lol.

There's a video of my sister's like 3rd birthday party, where my dad comes to film me, and he catches me on film with a spring roll in my mouth, fried chicken drumstick in one hand and a roti in the other. And all i do is smile sheepishly and the camera and leg it.

Seriously, my grandma makes the best foods. I always eat too much when she cooks.

I was really happy to see the girls today :) long talk ahaha :)

ok time to stop procrastinating and do tute work :p

hggggggggggggggnh.

Walking back while sun setting :)

Last few days...

I bought more stuff at op shop again. $5 patterned dress and $5 chambray shirt :)

The problem with buying regularly at an op-shop is that I now have a desire for EVERYTHING I BUY to be around op-shop prices.

Like i can't buy a nice $50-now-$30 dress without thinking "but i could get a dress from vinnies for less..."

op-shop hazard

Accounting was terrible.

That's all I have to say.

---

Is anyone else extremely confused about the timetables? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to book for next semester. :/

We don't chose the subject's we've already completed right? But you know how accounting is part 1A, does that mean there's a part 1B? I'm very confused.

---

Today I saw a bunch of cool baulko people, JL, MS, DL, DM, and we played Saboteur.

Was possibly the coolest break I've had in uni.

Thanks guys :)

---

I got snapchat, and it's actually kind of fun :) But i'm still quite addicted to gifboom. My sister saw me use i and said it was like a moving version of instagram without the insane amount of people.

She has lots of followers, she's just too pretty.

---

Made kimchi soup for dinner, because it's simply TOO COLD.

Twas actually quite nice, despite roomies's reservations at spicy tolerance, they managed to eat quite alot. :)

Also I did laundry, but the clothes didn't dry on time because it was too cold and now they're hanging on the banisters.

DOCTOR WHO SHOP OPENING UP SOON OMFG HAVE TO GO ON THURSDAY I HAVE COSTUME ORGANISED YES YES YES.

All i neeed is a fez and i'm good.

I HAVE MY BOW TIE. I MUST WIN.

Friday was very very weird.

If I were to put it metaphorically, everyone walks around with a tightly sealed box of secrets. And the box has many many many layers. And I feel that most people don't ever touch each others boxes. It's only if people chose to share them. And generally, I think that most people won't ever reach the centre of other people's boxes, the final tightly locked box that holds secrets people don't like to admit to themselves.

My box was accessed.

It was stupid of me, and i think i should have seen it coming earlier, but there's no going back now. The box is open and on display and now i'm not sure how to define the relationship/friendship anymore.

Most relationships have like barriers. A limit to how connected and how much you understand about someone. There are things that, despite all the time and closeness you share with someone, you'll never find out about them unless they choose to share it with you.

There was no choice in this. It just happened.

And I would take it back in a heartbeat, if just to go back to a semi-normal stasis of relationship.

I don't really now how to approach this anymore.

When you know so much about someone, where is the line? The barriers are down and I'm not sure if i feel comfortable being so exposed. It's scary. And I don't know where this is going to lead.

In CBS today we were talking about what Christian relationships should be (Ephesians 5:22 - 6:9) and it personally made me wonder about Christianity and feminism.

Like i don't think radical feminism and Christianity can harmonize.

Because women are called to 'submit in everything' towards their husband, just as the church is supposed to submit to Christ. And thus we are meant to help them, support them, love them and give ourselves to them.

But then again, men are supposed to love women 'as Christ loved the church.' So 'he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.' 

So it's not meant to be an exploitive relationship. Guys are supposed to lead women, but also to love and protect them, guard them and keep them holy. They wouldn't hurt them or exploit them or abuse them. And women and supposed to follow and support. But they're supposed ultimately make the Christian walk together. 

I think it's actually beautiful.

People consider me somewhat feminist, but really I only think that men and women should be treated equally, with respect and fairness. We have our differences and it's not like men and women are interchangeable  but it also doesn't mean that women are inferior to men.

But i think that you can't be a radical feminist and be Christian.

Maybe an equalist?

aha that just makes me think of avatar.

sorry for the rant >,<

kthnxbai.

Hello Tuesdays...

I found a new way to procrastinate!

It's this app called gifboom, which lets you take videos or a series of photos and make them into gifs.

It's kind of like a moving version of instagram HAHAHA.

But not as popular.

I'm quite the noob, but methinks this can be fun.

---

The one thing i like about tuesdays is the "come home relatively early and cook dinner for everyone" factor.

I actually really like cooking. Cooking is much more satisfying than study. Not only is it more fun, it smells better, does not screw with your mind, and you can eat it at the end.

(I am so domestic. This is sad.)

---

I had my first on campus boost today!

For a sort of brunch... (I can feel all the disapproves... ehehe)

---

accounting. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

do i even care?

i dunno. 

lol.

Practically Professional.

So I've started working 9 to 5.

It's pretty tiring.

Although I don't even do much. Just reception and packing and things.

The best thing is they have a coffee machine. It's been fueling my caffeine addiction.

Although sometimes I am unsure as to whether I like coffee or coffee flavored hot sugary milk :p

It's nice here, it's a small company and everyone's really friendly :)

I think it's cause it's a family business, so everyone is close cause there's so few people. My cousin's (in law? He married my cousin) dad heads the group, so as the eldest son he mostly helps run it. The the other brother does accounts and shipping. And they have a bunch of people as well as me :D



---

My cousin was driving me back home, talking about what I want to do in the future. When I told him I wanted to work in a big law firm or as an in house lawyer. And then he was like "i hope I'm not being too chauvinistic, but I'm assuming you want to get married and have children. So won't you be working for like 5-6 years before you have kids? And then you'll leave work. The greatest thing is if you marry the right guy and never have to work and stay at home taking care of the kids. If you work at a big law firm, won't you be at the bottom for 5years? And then you'll have to leave. It's too sad."

And I didn't say anything. You guys impressed? Lol.

Anyway, I don't think majority of families in our society can afford to live on a single income. So regardless I'll probably not stop working completely ever. EVER.

 Besides, I like the idea of climbing that corporate ladder :p

 ---

Something I do at work is flick through home design magazines to try and did references to the company products. It's really fun, cause I like interior design :p

if I had money I would totally renovate houses and such :D (I decided a while ago if I failed HSC and got like 60ATAR I'll go do interior design and embrace my poor poor future, where you're a vegetarian/vegan only because you can't afford meat LOLOL.)

But yeah, flicking through this stuff, it kinda makes me want to take all the magazines home and make scrap books lol.

 Or get a pininterest.

 I've wanted one for a while, but haven't acted upon yet.

We'll see if I do lol.

---

Because I'm working all the time, I come home and I'm pretty tired, so I haven't written much for nano. I've taken to handwriting some of it out in a notebook during work to try and catch up. But now I have no idea what the word count is.

AHHHH.

I'll have to type like crazy on a Saturday.

But I wanted to go to the markets on saturday :(

oh wells.

---

I taught my mum how to play this ps3 game the other day, now she can't wait everyday for me to come home and play with her lol. So cute. (she refuses to play with my siblings cause try need to study haha)

she was like to me while we were gaming "I don't want you to go to work... I don't have work tomorrow so I wanna play with you." Ngawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :)

Although the gaming is cutting into my writing time, I can't help it. She's so cute :3

Also congrats to all those kids who've finished after chem :D welcome to freedom lol. :D

have a meme to celebrate.

 

EPILEPSY IN 3,2,....

ALSO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT DISNEY MAKING NEW STAR WARS FILMS????
