Currently sneezing non-stop (I think I've caught the flu?) and listening to Lisa Mitchell's 'Coin Laundry' whilst freezing to death over Perth's winter weather. I thought I would blog for the night, but I honestly haven't got a topic to add!
My life has actually been quite boring since exams finished - apart from working 4 nights a week, I've done nothing new. Oh! Except I'm getting new eye glasses and sunglasses in the upcoming weeks. The thing is, when I originally set off to get the frames I chose these two pairs:
Then as I went back for my appointment, the sales lady told me that she would not recommend these pairs to me as the frames didn't have nose pads (Asian flat nose syndrome) so they would sit on my cheeks and they would be too heavy and whatnot. The thing is - I've been wearing my current two eye glasses and both frames don't have nose pads and they both sit on my cheeks. I've had no problems with them and I don't mind at all. It's all really personal preference.
I was super annoyed when she suggested other frames to buy and she chose all these super ugly frames which made me look unflattering. Especially the sunglasses - all of them were super ugly. She chose these metal ones which weren't stylish at all. When I finally told her that I would be keeping the sunglass frames she kept on asking me if I was really sure I wanted these - it got super annoying and made me mad. I just don't get it, I think I would know what I like and I've been wearing glasses for the majority of my life - I think I understand what I like and dislike. I've had those nose pad pieces before and they didn't even help - they made my eyes and nose hurt and they ended up sliding down anyways. They also get dirty quickly and they turn into a really disgusting shade if they're not cleaned properly. I'm so low maintenance! Then you end up getting pimples on your nose area.
Anyways, I ended up getting these frames in the end:

| Yah, they do have nose pads. |
Also, there's only 21 days left until I set off for my Melbourne Trip with my sister and my best friend! We're horrible at planning so we're just going to do stuff and plan along the way when we arrive haha. I hope we don't run out of money soon! I'm super excited because this is the first time I'm traveling with a friend and first time not with my parents. Maybe next time I'll actually travel with just my friend and I or JUST BY MYSELF!
It's also 39 days until I get my Invisalign braces off which I'm pretty stoked about and I feel like I've been smiling and laughing more freely now. It's funny how my self-confidence has improved along with my teeth. It's the little things that help my confidence grow. My teeth used to be so horrible that I would only just smile with my mouth closed.
Blogged about the novel here. Review is down below - click here
I had the utmost pleasure of seeing an advanced screening of 'The Fault in Our Stars' yesterday as my friend won two tickets through a student competition. She had already watched it once and I was so excited and extremely overwhelmed that my friend chose me out of all of her 900 Facebook friends to go watch it with!
We got to the Belmont Reading Cinema by bus after uni at 5pm and decided to get popcorn. Then we decided to buy drinks as well but then there was a line already forming so I waited in line while my friend bought the drinks and by the time she got the drinks a line had formed from all the way to the outside of the building!!! We also had to give our phones to the crew as we weren't allowed to have any cameras/phones in the building but the two men with the metal detectors couldn't even detect the huge ass laptop and my small iPod we were carrying in our bags haha (Fake metal detectors)
The screen was huge and there were so many people. Luckily we got in early and grabbed great setas! These are the only two photos I have of yesterday as we weren't allowed photos inside the cinema.
This was the before and after photos of watching the film. Need I say more?
Now onto my short review (may include spoilers):
I can't believe I'm 18 already. I still remember being 12 and freaking out because I thought being 20 seemed so old. It's really exciting at the same time because now I am officially an adult and I get to go online shopping using my own card and I get to go to university and drink legally ;)
I turned 18 on the 8th of February! I didn't really have a fancy party - just a casual dinner with my closest friends and sister.
I didn't take my own camera ~ so I only managed to steal these photos from my friend's camera!

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.

Overall, I had a really fun birthday as opposed to my other birthdays where I usually just celebrate it at home with my family and eating weird cake. We drove all the way South to see the skyline which was amazing and I wish I could show you right now but unfortunately I'll have to wait until my friend gives them to me or something.
Thanks for reading! :)
I went to the city today with my friend, Faith as we haven't been together in such a long time. In my case, I haven't been to the city for months as I have stopped working at Hungry Jacks!
We met up at the train station, and I was running really late and felt bad because I had already pushed the meeting time to 10:30 instead of 10. All was well though.
When we stepped onto the train, all the seats were filled up or only single seats were available so we decided to sit in the Prority seats. Then we reached a couple more stations and there were two old ladies who entered and so I quickly moved out of the way and sat elsewhere. Elsewhere meaning a single seat next to some foreigner who was speaking in a different language.
Then we set off to our friend Emily's store because Faith has never been there and apparently there is a new store in the back of Emily's family's store. So we went to visit Vivid City which is the name of the store and is similar to Morning Glory. They sell a lot of Korean Pop merchandise like albums, posters, cups and keyrings. They also sell cosmetics, stationary, accessories, phone cases and bags. Me and Faith bought matching hair clips. Mine was pink and hers was a mint blue colour.

Then we went to Took Bae Kee 2 which is a Korean lunch BBQ restaurant where we had lunch, actually my first meal, and we ordered three dishes. We actually managed to finish them all - all three of us!

| ~~Our Meal~~ |

We ordered two plates of meat - one with bones and the other without bones. They were really good! We also ordered this hot and spicy soup with egg, tofu and beef. It was OK, it tasted really bland but I couldn't really taste it until it cooled down since it was really hot and spicy. It was really bland compared to my beloved kimchi chigae. We also had Aloe Vera as our drink.
It was really funny because we saw the drinks menu and all of us ordered for an aloe vera drink but then the waitress told us that it was actually just a really large bottle. Imagine that! All three of us having three 1L of Aloe Vera! We couldn't even finish that one large bottle between the three of us. It was really nice though!
Emily had to leave after lunch to help her mum with their shop. So it was just me and Faith wandering around the shops. We went to various of different places to look at the clothes but everything was so expensive. That's when we wandered into EB GAMES!!!!! This was the best part of our whole day! Me and Faith are like the best of Sims 3 fans. So when we saw that Sims 3 EPs and Stuff packs were on sale - we immediately bought them. The EPs were all only
$19!!!!! The stuff packs (excluding Katy Perry's Sweet Treats) were only
$9. That's a really low price compared to what they usually are priced at!

The next stop was at Utopia where Faith bought us 'Winter Love Milk Tea with Chocolate Sago' which she has never tried before but I have so I recommended it to her. She doesn't like it though :(
We did take lots of photos though! We tested out the functions on my camera!

And then we went to other shops to browse around but didn't find anything worthy of buying or interesting enough. We decided to have sushi after but Faith's mum, who was taking us home, told us that she would be coming to Greenwood station to pick us up. So we quickly caught the train without even finishing our sushi. I feel really bad now, Faith paid for the majority of my lunches today. :(
Back at home, I tried to install Sims 3 Showtime but then my computer stuffed up the original Sims 3 game and now everything is LOOOSSTTTT?!?!!?!! Yeah, so I decided to blog about my day. I don't know whether today has been a bad day or a good day but I can't play Sims 3 :<
