January Blues

Belated Happy New Year!

Although I've done nothing but procrastinate the past few months, it appears that it'll start getting busy for me from now on.

I'm going to do some volunteer work, at uni and at the Japan Foundation, I need to start organising the club's o-week affairs and re-registration (I can't wait until I pass my duties onto the next victim haha!), and I have a wedding to attend next week...

I've been doing *some* kanji study the past two days, so I'm doing something productive *at least*, no matter how little time I devote to it.

Which reminds me, I need to get some proofreading and translation work done for the two manga scanlation group I work with... Deadline tomorrow!

And I'm still anxiously waiting for notification about my exchange application, and also for the Sociology department to get back to me about this form I entrusted them with!!

And finally, Gmarket has yet again eaten another hole in my wallet. Okay, not really, I used my cash balance:half of the money won from being Top Blogger and the other half being left over from previous orders. Shipping always takes the biggest chunk out of the order >< Anticipating the dress in this haul! It's a navy coloured peter-pan collar dress, like that adorable one from romwe, except this is 1/3 the price! I know it was cheap, but I just hope it arrives just like the stock images (because if not, I wouldn't have minded coming up with the $35 or so dollars for the romwe one).

Waiting game #2

Alright~ I ordered from gmarket two days ago and I think the package will definitely come next week.

I ordered two VOV lipsticks in the colors 104 and 102. BUT I want the whole collection! The VOV Showcase Girl Lips isn't really new, but they did release three new colours recently. I was tossing over to get 102 or 601 or the new 602!!! Plus I wanted the Showcase lipgloss that came in a set of three (but I didn't end up getting it!). When I get these items and they fulfil my expectations, I'll probably get the other colours I've been eyeing as well. I also need lip concealer and eye concealer as well! So pretttttyyyy!!!

I think I ordered the VOV Showcase Ball-on-Cheek blusher as well in colour #3. I cannot read Korean and I don't know what colour #3 looks like. I initially thought that since the drop down menu for the blusher was just on the Bebe Pink colour on default, but I think I am most likely wrong. So, I probably ordered some other colour/item!!! Whoops haha. Well fingers crossed that whatever I ordered is something nice and cute anyway!

I also ordered the Etude House Lip Tint in colour #1 and the Tear Drop (Eye) Liner for my friend. And after seeing a review of the lip tint over here I wish I had bought some for myself as well because it looks really pretty - in fact better and easier to apply than the Tony Moly Lip Tint!!! And that reminds me, I should get around to posting a proper review of the TM lip tint and the Dr Jart BB cream soon...

But anyway, gotta try to get to studying. After this upcoming Wednesday, I'll be free from exams and high school so I should have some time to blog some more.

Waiting game #1

Alrighty~ So yesterday I went to look at formal dresses. I tried on quite a few, most looked 'bleh' on me. I cringed everytime I tried on a dress that didn't flatter my body - my upper body is bigger than my lower half/legs so that didn't really give a pleasing sight. I must remind myself to lose some arm flabs - it really doesn't look good.

The first dress - which was between knee to mid-thigh length, creamy and strapless was the one that looked best on me. Price was around $70. Sweet and cheap. Going back there today-ish to buy it (:

When I returned home and searched around the net, looking at pretty dresses (window shopping yay!) again, I realised that the dresses look super awesome and pretty because they were being displayed on super skinny models. I want the dress, but can I pull it off? Naw, prolly not lol. Oh well. *shakes fist at the skinny models*

Okay, the rest of my post will probably be pretty incoherent since this is being written as stream-of-conciousness haha.

Its also confirmed that I'm going China in December - and the morning right after my formal too! We booked the tickets yesterday (rushing from the mall to cabra, where my relatives were booking the tickets). It was all-over the place. Mum couldn't find parking, we were told we had to provide passport photos for the visa forms and had to go take them... Well at least they were better then the chatty-ass photos that I took at the plaza - the man actually took several photos and the lighting was heaps better.

Well yeah. That was yesterday.

Anyhow, I checked gmarket this morning and it looks like the order is being shipped out and I should get it sometime next week~

Haha, the shipping was such a big miscalculation though. Oh well, no worries because the difference in money is deposited back into the account!



Estimated weight was 4.90 kg ----- > Real weight was 0.88 kg - not even 1 kg lol!

Frack. Must get back to studying. 10-ish days before the big exams which shall determine my future!

It's been a while!

The past two weeks for me have been very hectic. And I've graduated high school!

However, there are still the exams to go, so I must study.

Besides forgetting to wake up this morning to bid on a pair of lovely vintage opera gloves (Audrey Hepburn style!) on ebay and going into a state of depression and rage (I'm exagerating)
for a few minutes...

Heres the roundup for the past week or two: we messed/bludge at school alot, water gun fun, Carnivale (fun, fun!), graduation, (free) dinner with senior SRC and school executives after grad, year 12 concert and the picnic day on Friday, and a stupid lil 'after' picnic get-together haha! For the picnic day, we went to the beach, took heaps of photos and messed around, which was heaps of fun (photos uploaded on FB :3).

How do I feel about graduating? Happy and sad at the same time. Happy for obvious reasons and sad because I'll miss those good ol high school days of hanging with my friends at lunch, then theres the classes, teachers and the library ):

Those days are in my past now and I can only head forward. I wonder whats in store for me.

On a happier (or wallet-related) note, I finally ordered off gmarket. I contemplated getting a blusher, but I'll go to the shops for that. I ordered Dr Jart Silver Label BB Cream, Tony Moly samplers, eyelash curler and brown-coloured eye liner.

So I guess I'll be waiting for that to come in the mail! Argh. Shipping is expensive. This leaves a huge chunk in my already empty wallet! (I owe my bro money :/ Must get job after exams!). Hmmm, then I also need to shelve out money for my formal dress, shoes, clutch, accesories and gloves (yes! I want to be unique on that night!). I shall commence looking for my dress either during these holidays if I can spare time (of course I can :P) from studying or after the exams.

Waiting for my package~
