FASHUUUNN INSPO

I haven't posted since the beginning of this year and sitting down in front of my laptop and spending some quality time writing down some feeeels have made me miss properly 'blogging' (not Tumblr blogging which consists of 99.99% of me reblogging).

So, I won't ramble on on what I've been doing this past year because none of that really matters as it was mostly just me adjusting to university life and finding out the perils of relationships post high-school.

In the meantime, I just wanted to tell you that I'm heading off to Hong Kong in exactly 3 days! I just have to tackle my final exam tomorrow and I'm set for vacay! I am extremely excited as I haven't been back in almost 4 years! The last time I was there was back in January 2010. I'm going to be in Hong Kong for 1 month exactly but I'll also be touring around in Taiwan for 5 days! I've never been to Taiwan but should be exciting (I've heard there's a Krispy Kreme shop opening up in December which is PERFECT as I am long overdue for one of their donuts).

Another exciting thing is that as I'm eighteen now and more independent, I don't mind travelling by myself in the city instead of following my mum around to the smelly markets where she finds pleasure in picking out fruits and vegetables. I can now properly explore the metropolitan nightlife!! First stop: American Apparel!

Here are some fashion inspiration I am trying to opt for when shopping for pieces in Hong Kong!


I love how she pulls of the whole 'one colour' outfit! I'm bringing two oxblood coloured pieces with me to Hong Kong and so hopefully I can pull it off just like her.




 I'm more of a person that likes the whole plain and simple kind of outfit like the one above and the ones below. I find that neutral colours like black, grey, white and denim blue suit me more than bright colours. Which could also explain why I love Winter fashion way more than Summer fashion.

The Number 34

I was watching Laina's video the other day, she's also known as Overly Attached Girlfriend (OAG), about the Number 20 and it got me thinking about my creepy number. However, I didn't realise it until today that I had a creepy number. My creepy number is 34/43 or 3&4.

Here is Laina's video:





So I went to the driving center today to request for an ID card because it's really inconvenient without one. I can't get into bars, clubs, get a new phone, get a new bank account without it. I had to fill in some forms and that's when I realised that both of my contact numbers have the number '34' in them. My mobile number (9134) and home number (9343) and so it reminded me of Laina's video. Might I add that today is also the 12th of April (1+2 = 3) (0+4 = 4)

So then when me and my sister went to have lunch, I was browsing through my cards in my wallet and it struck me that both of my student cards, my university student number (4243) and my high school number (7346) both have 3 & 4 in them. What really scared me was when I added up my birthday and it added up to 34. My birthday is the 8th of February 1995 by the way so it's 2+8+1+9+9+5 = 34. When I realised that, I told my sister who was in the driver's seat next to me and a truck was driving up next to her at the traffic lights. Guess what the truck's number plate was? 534

After I told her about my birthday and the number 34, I went to change the song that we were listening to and it was playing at exactly 1 minute and 34 seconds into the song.

Guess what just happened...I was watching this video when I realised something.

34. 34. 34. 34. EVERYWHERE!!!

Maybe I'm just being paranoid or maybe the number 34 just follows me around everywhere. Maybe everyone has a creepy number. Perhaps it's just a coincidence? I'm not sure but let me know if you've discovered you have a creepy number too!

edit://

I also realised that our new car's number plate is 843 and the bus I take everyday on the way to the train station/university is 344. Also our house address is 7 (3+4 = 7). Will keep this updated if I find anymore of these!

STREET SNAP! & HAIRCUT!

 I went to the Fremantle Street Arts Festival (FSAF?) on Saturday with a group of friends and there were heaaapps of people there. I went with a huge group of people from my high school so we kept on getting seperated as there were more than twelve people! So amidst the waiting and trying to get back together - I suggested to my best friend, Sarah's boyfriend, Kirk to street snap me! (Like they do on tokyofashion.com) This was the result! It actually looks like one of those street snaps!! Apart from my fail attempt at being fashionable! My friend, Anaya, looked much more fashionable than me but someone tried to photobomb while Kirk was taking the photo :(

I don't know why it looks black but my dress is actually blue (velvet blue dress)

I showed this photo to my hairdresser but asked to make it a tad longer.

Before.....as you can see (or not) my hair is all a giant big mess.

lol my shadow looks weird

 The hairdresser helped me straighten it as Kiko's hair is naturally straight but I think I like it more when it curls at the ends as it looks more natural & he took a really long time straightening my hair - I don't think I'm that high maintenance to do that! So I wet the bottom parts of my hair. It feels so much lighter than before and I can actually run my fingers through my hair now! (I know right!) I love how I can messy it up and it won't become a huge frizzy mess and the split ends won't distract me during the day as I can hardly even see the ends of my hair unless I turn my head really down. I love it so much and that's weird because I haven't had short hair since year 7 or 8 and I hated my hair back then so much.

I'm trying to grow out my fringe now so that it's the same length as the rest of my hair. I hope I won't find some photo of a girl with straight bangs and suddenly have the urge to cut my fringe again because that ALWAYS happens.

Looking back, it literally took me 3-4 years to grow my hair out to the length I had before. Back in year 9, I remember going on soompi forums and browsing through all the 'grow my hair' challenges and 'how to grow hair faster' topics as I reallllyyy wanted long hair like all those beautiful kpop stars and ulzzangs. So I was so determined to grow out my hair so I could do hair flips and look feminine and beautiful. Little did I know - having long hair was so stressful and hard work. I went through a bottle of conditioner so quickly! Summer was horrible and I needed to find hair ties to tie up my hair so I always put it up in a bun (my hair always tangled so everything was just stressful)  and all the sweat went onto my hair and it took hours for it to dry. I don't think I'd ever grow my hair as long as I had ever again.

 I'm at the point where I find short hair and bobs to be more attractive than long hair but anyways - if you want to grow your hair out. Just don't cut it at all. Don't worry about it too much. Year 11 and 12 - everything was about exams so I didn't even care about my hair at all and I was surprised over how much it grew without me noticing. You need absolute patience.

 The worst hair length is medium length and that's why year 9 I was stressing so much about it because when you're right in the middle of growing your hair out and it's not long enough but it can't be considered short enough too.

This post ended up being really long. Sorry. Bye.

Ebay gets + Photobooth

So....ever since I turned 18 I have officially (and legally) been able to go online shopping as my parents didn't allow me before as they believed - I quote - it to be 'dangerous' and that people get their money stolen from online. I think they still live in the stone ages as obviously they've never gone online shopping in the 21st century and I believe they only heard such stories from like yonks ago!

Anyhoo - today I finally got my second item I've ever bought! They're these tattoo stockings in 21. Universe.

I don't know what's happening here either

Everything is just so funny

I think this totally captivates me and my dog's relationship.

LOOK AT HIS EYES THOUGH BAHAAHAHA

'Why me..why'

He just looks so sad ahahahaaha.

He is the demon dog.

Adventure Time-ing whilst waiting for Adventure Time to load

Waiting for everyone to get dressed

How you doin gurl

Me before I singlehandedly finished all of the Ferrero Rochers

You can tell he's my dog.

Me failing at copying Juria coz my nose is too big and her head is too small

How I feel all the time

I think this should be my permanent face tbh.

[rant] Being an adult has absolutely no benefits

I started tweeting about this on my twitter but I think this is worthy enough for a blog post.

The First Week of being a 'FRESHER'

I DID IT!

I survived my first week as a university student. (Excuse me but this is a great achievement on my part)

I survived the tutorials, the lectures, the workshops, the whole attempt at  making new friends in the largest university in my city, taking public transport, waking up at unearthly hours and accepting the fact that I will be stressing the next couple of months due to the heavy workload.

I never thought university life would be so stressful but I actually have an assessment due nearly every single week! I take four units/classes which are marketing, management, communications in business and design practice. The most fun one is definitely design practice but sadly, the one I'm most worried about since it is so time consuming. I love it though - I get to work with fancy iMacs desktops and work with Photoshop (I've only ever used Paint Shop Pro)! We're currently doing a photo montage in class and it's really fun! I haven't really made any friends yet but the people in the class are all so artsy and fashionable and generally really nice (I've only talked to like two people >.>)

AHHH O-Week

My Orientation week (O-week) started on Monday! Actually all of the other universities except for my one has already officially started classes but ours start next week! I am really nervous and extremely excited for it!

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging much!!! One of my new years resolutions was to blog a lot more but in the end I didn't even blog as much as I should! The thing is, I don't really know what to blog about since I'm such a boring person.

However, I shall just continue ranting on about my life even if no-one cares anyways.

I'm only going to Curtin on Monday and Wednesday because one of the events is compulsory and Wednesday is when all the fun things happen. I joined so many clubs today! It was like those Japanese high schools where you join clubs except you can join as many as you want!!

I joined two Christian clubs, the Anime club, two Asian/Chinese clubs and I plan on joining a Marketing club except I had no money left for the club fee so I couldn't join! I think I'm only going to stay in maximum three clubs as I won't have enough time for so many of these clubs to be honest since I have a job now! But first year will be less stressful compared to second and third year so it's best to participate in as many events as you can!

I honestly can't wait until university starts!


On a side note -- I still don't have lavender hair :( On another side note - I am still an unfashionable blogger. SIGH!

HARLEM SHAKE

Me and my friends decided to do the ever so popular HARLEM SHAKE!

Hope you enjoy watching it~

18th!

I didn't take my own camera ~ so I only managed to steal these photos from my friend's camera!

Playing around with my FANCY new fish-eye camera! Back to old-school cameras (yey)

Having dinner at Tiamo ~ my dish wasn't that nice (boo)

Scuse the messy room *embarassed* but birthday outfit of the day/night!

The AFTER party ~ Long story here...

FUNNY THING about the above photo. Originally we had planned to go clubbing (first time!) after my birthday dinner but today being ridiculously my unlucky day (!) it turns out my passport expired like 2 years ago so I wouldn't be able to get into the club anyways. So after the whole day getting excited about going clubbing and drinking beer and cocktails ~ I ended up staying at home and liking the rest of my Facebook birthday messages.

[RANT] Old + New Job

Today was my first 'official' day at work - official because I had training before and tonight was my first official day where I get paid for working!

This is my second job and I like it so far and I hope I will continue to like it because all of the staff there are so nice and help me out. I don't mean to be such a bitch about my other job at Hungry Jack's but honestly some people working there were being really hostile towards me. I really need to get this off my chest. Some customers were also really rude and unfriendly. (Most of them were generally lovely!) Most of all - I had to take all of this for $8.40 an hour! That's really not a lot and the shift hours were killing me. I had to buy my own lunch during my breaks and they are usually more than $8.40!! I know I shouldn't complain since it's a fast food store and it's usually like that but I basically do really similar things as where I am working right now (except for taking in orders and telephone orders etc.) and I get treated with a lot more respect!
