VC Week

What a busy couple o' weeks has it been! I was keeping myself busy literally every single day.

First was the Easter City Service. QUALITY TIME HAS BEEN SPENT. GiGi tagged along and for the first time in forever I don't feel completely foreveralone. It was a great service nevertheless because I loved the message (CAVALRY COVERS IT ALL YO).

Went Hot-Star the next day with GiGi Ness D-burger and Wilso. I realised how much I sucked at pool. Srsly this is what happens when you only use the biggest sticks when you were little (that's what she said?). No strength whatsoever sigh. Enough making a fool out of myself so Wilso and I went to the LAN cafe next door to play Titanfall. We skipped the tutorial (pfft who needs them) and went straight for MP against pros. We did surprisingly not bad. The game itself is just COD with mechas. PRESS V FOR TITANFALL!

On Sunday I got a lift and it was quite the average day at Church. Really hard to concentrate when I sit next to urgh though. AND GUESS WHO IMPLIED THAT I'M FAT. Sigh, but really now, gotta lose that flab. But hey, mum's back! With tons of food that I'm still snacking on this very moment!

On Tuesday it was the drawing event when I will inevitably muster up all my PR skills. I met awesome new people. We were sorted into teams to complete different challenges, and guess what? Our team won! It feels so good to be winning even if it's just a $10 Kino voucher.

I was already exhausted the next day but MUST ATTEND CLARY'S PARTY. Gaylen and I met up earlier so I can pick up my concealers (review soon). I went through all that trouble getting my MYER ONE card sorted out only to find that MYER ran out of my colours. We trekked the long way to David Jones. I've got to admit the party was so awkward at first. I didn't know anyone (and didn't really meet anyone by the end of it). Until my uni friends showed up :') We made our tiny "Clary's uni friends" circle and sang bad karaoke.

Being more exhausted (and with a dying voice) I attend JASS Karaoke the next day. Crowded into a room with people I actually know and sang my heart out, literally. It was 6 hours, how did I survive that long? Met more people. You know those kinds of people that you know you'll be annoyed at for the rest of your life? I met someone like that. #MUCHREGRET

I must have been too worn out because by Friday I was super exhausted and sick, very very sick. I couldn't even organise an outing for tomorrow because of how sick I was. So let's skip straight to the one and only SGM that will probably decide my fate (exaggeration). I didn't know they split Publicity and Comms into two and elected Pub first. So despite writing a long and complicated speech it didn't apply to Pub at all and I kind of humiliated myself sigh. I still got the position I wanted but it wasn't the greatest feeling in the world since the process totally screwed up ahhaa. Time to post regularly now! We went for celebration dinner afterwards and fought our way through 13 scoops of BRAINFREEZE.

I brought mum to church the next day (despite errbody asking me if I wanted a lift TRUST ME I DO VERY MUCH BUT SIGH MUMS). So while mum was intro'd to other middle-aged people I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I wanted to sit with my friends for lunch but I couldn't so super sigh. Sorry if I ignored you on the day :'( She wouldn't stop complaining about how far the parking street is from church as well. FFS AMIRITE? The USANA meeting afterwards wasn't bad, but I was kinda pissed throughout it, phone dying with no batts as well =_=

Jigged uni on Monday, just couldn't be bothered getting up. I thought to myself oh I'll just stay home and do readings LOLJKS. Sigh. Jes came over and we made mi-goreng though that was freaking awesome. We've organised to go PAX together, with flights booked and hotels and everything!

So onto yesterday. It started brightly with the interview! I think I performed really well but the key issue is still my availability (DAMN YOU MONDAY!). The fried chicken lunch didn't sit well in my stomach cuz when I got home boy i felt dead. Went to bed at 11 sigh.

Right now, I realised that I have two assignments due next week and haven't started either. WHY U DO THIS TO ME BRAIN?

Just another 2 weeks

Oh boy here we go again.

Tuesday: Happy April Fools! My idea of a joke is to snapchat everyone telling them I was in love with them. Everyone's reactions diverge from "I LUB U 2 BB" to "Uhh wrong chat?". It was pretty funny! I have to meet up with Modern class for our reunion dinner and so I have to stay back till really late. I'm so happy I had friends who are willing to bum around with me till 7 so I didn't end up being foreveralone at all! The dinner was great (KBBQ) because I was with Modern class. I stayed in the city till late so yeah not sure if gusta.

Wednesday&Thursday: Ideas in History proposal due tomorrow. I kept on thinking to myself: "Oh this is easy I'll do it later." I even played a game. But ten hours later I realised I haven't started a thing.

Pulled the first all-nighter in my life. I stayed up till 4:30 to do my assignment but it's still incomplete. I scheduled an 1 hour nap but ended up waking at 7, FFS! Luckily I was almost done and I asked Gaylen to print it for me. I just felt so relieved after completion words cannot describe my feelings I'll just say that I happily jigged my lecture. Estie Gaylen and I went Crave to celebrate (kill time and wait for Kai who said he'd come) and we were all pretty grumpy after 0 sleep. But guess which asshole ditched us with no notice? So yeah he owes us food now.

Friday: Captain America outing with Connect Group, but when I was about to groggily leave the house it started pouring so I was like CEEBS and bailed.

Saturday: UTSAnime Ice Skating. Macquarie Center is so cool! Such an easy place to get to too! Had a funny incident in the morning when I ran for a bus but missed it and the next one comes in a hour. Then I realised I was meant to catch the next one anyway so I had to go home, eat breakfast then go. I can't believe I forgot how to ice-skate confidently cuz I was just inching forward on the ice. I also got really tired because I'm just that unfit. Man I need to exercise.

Afterwards Gaylen and I went Town Hall to kill time for JASS Drinking night. Westfield is actually a nice place to sit chill and eat ice cream. We made Kai treat us xiaolongbao. Din Tai Fung in Westfield is disgustingly overrated. We ended up being early for Drinks and turns out happy hour wasn't till 8. But I don't drink alcohol anyway so I just drank 2 glasses of juice the entire night. We chipped in for a tequila shot for Gaylen and one of the guys got slightly drunk and made a mess. Upon reflection of today I realised that I had spent 50 bucks. CRY I'M NOT EATING LUNCH NEXT WEEK.

Sunday: Got up super early for church because I'll be observing Kids Ministry today! Their system is really straightforward and all I have left to do is to get my working with children application cleared. Some of the kids are just so cute! I ended up staying out till like 4 starting my butt off because Jdn didn't go and noone could give me a lift home because of a Kids Ministry meeting. So I stayed and listened to the leaders talk about how to teach kids and it was pretty informative.

Monday: Skipped lecture, AGAIN. I should honestly stop doing this because unlike high school I'm paying for it. Tut was such a bludge as well. I got up in my bunny gear to hand out free hot cross buns for CREDO. I put on my high school charity face and destroyed the market with my awesomeness. Not even bragging I handed out so many :D I'm surprised so many people said no to free food though. All the more for me xD Ran into my friends from BB as well turns out they're all helping!

Tuesday: I'm actually early for my lecture! O Em Gee! At lunch we were joined by Nikki but I was eager to get home.

Thursday: Jigged lecture, sigh sleep was just so tempting ya know? Keo and Gigi joined us for lunch today because I gotta form my battle plan for running for Anime Exec. I'm planning to go screening tomorrow to assert my dominance in the market ofc.

Friday: Quite eventful day. Went screening and surprised everyone because I never go. I stayed for dinner at Poporo afterwards (Doria is so nice but half-size dishes are rip-offs donut get!) I managed to get Clary to come CG with me! We got our second dinner of Ko-mart snacks. I think Clary and I will become good friends because we're so similar in some ways and she totes get how it feels like to be "bro-zoned"! She's sick I hope she feels better soon :( After CG I hung with Sica and I was so sleepy by then (because I didn't get a lift because she's waiting for her Melbourne friends at 11) I became verbally vulnerable. We had a D&M (I think I was the only one talking though >_>) and she asked me about my current love life (what a joke) and yeah... I TOLD HER. I wasn't that straightforward but I think that blush on my face gave it away. Sigh. Got a lift back from the station though (much jinx), haven't caught a train in ages! Keo revealed to me about my fellow competitors because he just had to give me a hint which actually made me guess everyone (cuz I'm smart). I really don't know how to react to this information.

[MAKEUP REVIEW] Part Three

Heyo, procrastination's a bitch, so let's get straight to it. This post covers all those miscellaneous things I bought after my Galleria haul and before my birthday.

Dior Fusion Mono Eyeshadow 7/10
I don't know why but I have a strange obsession and longing for this eyeshadow. I own this in Lune (white) and Aventure (gunmetal) and a pot is expensive as hell (even if you get so much of it $50 still whaaat). I like it nevertheless. If you're gonna get it GET TWO- otherwise you're defeating the purpose of buying it. The whole point of a gel-eyeshadow is that it applies and blends really easily and smoothly. You can achieve an everyday look just by dipping your finger in the white pot, smear on inner eye corners, then dipping in grey pot and smear on outer corners. For a nighttime look do the same thing but heavier application. The sponge applicator that came with it is very cool because you can assemble it and that's always fun. It lasts for about 4-5 hours before the colour stops being as intense.

The Body Shop Colour Crush Eyeshadow 6/10
This was an impulse buy because back then I wanted a second Dior pot and ceebs blowing another 50. There isn't much I can say about this eyeshadow because tbh I haven't used it in a while. It is as pigmented as the store advertised, and yes you can use your fingers. You don't even need a primer to put it on nicely. The texture is really nice and there is a slight shimmer. Though as a product in a competitive market it doesn't really stand out from the rest and you can probably get the same quality for 10 dollars less.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner 9/10
I got this in a two-pack at the airport (Black and Sepia Ink) for $50 only and not only did it have beautiful packaging it came with a mini eyeliner brush which works really well. The formula is really smooth and the black one's application is so pigmented it feels like a liquid eyeliner. The brown one stays on my waterline as well. This eyeliner dries quickly and does not smudge at all even on my sad monolids! It is pretty 'long-wearing' but the brown one isn't as great as the black. I can't say how this compares to the MAC and Maybelline one so you'd have to make up your own mind on what to buy.


The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Makeup Remover 8/10
Even though I usually just use my trusty Garnier wipes then Sense cleanser to remove my makeup, this baby is my saviour when it comes to my eyes and lips, where a few swipes just don't do the trick. For something smelling so nice and natural its strength is pretty intense. Three little drops onto a cotton wipe along with a dab of water can remove the makeup on both of my eyes. So freaking cheap compared to Clinique as well. My only concern is the tiny little opening that the product comes out of... I know it prevents wastage but I like the size to fit my cotton tip so I don't have to tip the bottle many times.


Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss 7/10
I got this in the slightly strange Genie colour, which is a bright, intense...orange. The  end result is actually a pretty nude peach which blends well with a lipstick that's not as natural or just gives your lips a healthy glow (not shimmer! This product does not contain sparkles!) I didn't really like the applicator, and using your fingers became inevitable which on many occasions is gross. The texture feels pretty lip balm-y which is nice because a good lip product shouldn't dry-out your lips. And can I just add how PURDY is the packaging? Feels so luxurious holding it in your hands heheheh.
