What happened when I'm bored...

Well, this is a little embarrassing to be announced on my blog since I hardly blog nowadays.

I got a whatsapp message from my mum (who was still at work) last saturday afternoon after I came back from my unsuccessful grocery shopping to chat with her online. It's not that we don't chat with each other but our timing seem to be a bit off recently due to her massive workload and I'm usually off to bed by the time she's free to chat. I should be ashamed of myself seeing that I literally did nothing productive or work-related all weekend.

Waited till 3.45pm and my mum still hadn't come online. There I went sending another message asking her whereabout. STILL.IN.THE.OFFICE. *rolled eyes* C'mon mum, I'm supposed to leave in 15!! I'm such an inconsiderate daughter. So there I went telling the bf who just got back from his haircut and was indulging himself with tonnes of really old Bruce Lee/ Wong Fei Hung's movies next to me to postpone our outing. *We were due to go over to a friend's place for a pre-christmas party celebration at 4pm*

I wasn't a big fan of Kungfu movies, despite all the "ninja acts" that I perform at work and how all my lab mates think I'm a ninja in action. =.=" So instead, I opted to do some random net surfing...came across a very tempting online sales on Cotton On. Low and behold, I managed to stash 5 outfits into my shopping cart within that 15 mins wait for my mum!!! Yeah, I'm not so much a filial that I blamed my mum for my impulsive shopping spree. What to do?? They were dirt cheap and I really needed some new outfits (Ok, I lies...maybe I only needed 3 out of the 5 outfits I picked) but the free shipping managed to persuade me into buying the other 2 not-so-keen ones.

All the while the bf didn't know what was up on my sleeves until I told him to keep a look out for my delivery (since I'm going back home for Christmas) and might miss the delivery all together. So here's how our casual conversation goes...

Me: Ehh, can you look out for my delivery when I'm home. I'll pass you my postbox key.
Bf: Uh huh...*still grossly into his movie* What did you buy?
Me: Nothing much. Just 5 pieces of clothes from Cotton On.
Bf: How much?
Me: Ermm...$55?!!
Bf: *pause the movie* WHAT???!!!!!
Me: 55??
Bf: Are you crazy???!!! You spent that much in 15 mins???
Me: *embarrassed* Ok la...I don't shop around that much here ma...(as in locally)
Bf: OMG....girls....

Oh wells, as long as I'm happy spending my OWN money right???! (: *big grins*

So, what do you think of my latest purchase??? (Top to bottom: Lacey 3/4-sleeve top, biker jacket (my sis took mine away), dress, cardigan and grey top).

I know, I know 4 out of 5 are blacks...nevermind, I'm so into black these days that I couldn't resist turning my wardrobe into a witchery black. :P Anyway, they were really quick with the shipment because I received my parcel 3 days after placing my order!!! (:

blessed birthday

Time does fly...it's already the last month of 2011 and so did my 25th birthday *gasp* Can you believe I've reached a quarter of a century???

I had a pre-birthday celebration with a bunch of my Adelaide friends at an Italian restaurant a week before and dinner with Mr. Bruce "Bruise" at a Japanese restaurant on my actual birthday. We were so lucky to get a parking spot right in front of the restaurant and we didn't even realise that until we got down from the car and started laughing at each other.

Thanks everyone for their well wishes and hope my wishes will come true soon! (: xxx

Home bound soon!!!! very very soon...

Finally booked my air ticket home 3 days ago!!! Boy, it was super duper expensive!!!! Like my stipend for a month??? T_T I'm already so broke before I even start spending on anything...

Been doing experiments non-stop for a week now...makes me feel like I'm back to Honours year. Haha! =P

On a very very random note, my birthday is coming up!!! I'm excited, not! Will be reaching quarter of a century in officially 36 days...O.M.G!!! I'm OLD!!!!

accumulated dust...

I have totally lost all the motivation to blog nowadays...I was so jealous looking at friends and strangers graduating a month back...and I'm still stuck with mine. Begin to question when my turn would be. I'm pretty worried that I wouldn't be able to finish on time, i.e. at the end of my 3rd year. It seems like forever...not that I'm sick of what I'm doing now, but I just wish to get over with studying and start earning real cash. But without a proper degree, how to get a good job right?? Ironic.

On a side note, I wish to take a long long break...

My hands are literally burning even after 1 whole day!!! =.=" Reason being...me making the spicy filling for my roasted pulut last night. Never knew the spicy effect lasted so looong! And the most bizarre thing of making pulut is not the process but rather the price I have to pay for the banana leaves!!!! You would not believe how much it costs me to buy a kilo of banana leaves here in Adelaide. I have to literally salvage every single small pieces of the leaves just because it's way too expensive to throw it out! =.=""" $8 for 1kg = RM26 for 1 kg!!!! It's like...FOC back home! And the basic cost price for pulut is prolly a few cents back home but here, it's more like $2 for a pulut...and I made 21 pulut @.@ Do the maths yourself. I must be nuts!!!

new phone finally!!!

After constant ranting (for more than a year???) about how worn out my previous mobile phone is (the backcover literally fell off everytime I try to pick it up! =.="), I've finally signed up for a new blackberry smartphone on Friday night after work!!! Yay!!! (: The deal is pretty good since I'm not a heavy user, $29 for a $49 cap plan and I've got like a massive $550 each month to use and since calling my sis and most friends who are also with the same mobile provider are free, I've got literally no other ways to spend that $550. lol...How great if they can actually give me the credit back in cash! (:

plantar fasciitis :(

I've got awful fasciitis on my left foot for two days already and it's killing me, having to walk to uni rain and shine. :( Even the stash of salonpas that mum brought over did no good.

That aside, sis' and cw's birthday are finally over! Been baking non-stop almost every other day before THE party...to the extend that my sis complained to my mum that I'm trying to stuff her up with all the baking. =P Haven't you heard of practise makes perfect?? Well, both cakes weren't perfect on that day. Still needs a lot of improvement but...at least both were edible???! (:
