14-15

2014 had actually legit been a blast.

Today not only had I only a 3 hour shift (UNBOHLIEVABLE) I got to meet up with my CG afterwards to watch Big Hero 6, it was such an amaze feelsy movie I crai evertim. Then we went to D Y beach to catch 9pm fireworks, then back to R's house for chills and funs until the clock strikes 12. I got the first Deal victory of the year so R was like it's gonna be a good year for me ^_^

To give you an idea of how amaze it was let's take a look at some of my resolutions:

1. Get into digital and social media course at UTS, then transfer to a double degree/jou
rnalism degree
Yeah I ended up getting a double degree and even became my course's SPROUT

2. Get a job, preferably at a better store than Coles
SPROUT and H&M pretty legit, even though I'm totally itching to quit atm LOL

4. Make new friends, whether it's in uni or on Steam
Arguably what I did the best this year. My FB friends more than doubled figures-wise and I met some awesome people I will love to hang with for a lifetime.

5. Continue to volunteer with mum, start going to church!
I'm pretty solid in church-attendance this year, doing pretty well with Hillsong Kids and I guess doing stuff for my club is volunteer-enough hehe

6. Get better at nail-art
Double score! I got better at nail-art AND make-up which I was such a scrub at last year. That expanding collection though... #scary

On the negative side, I failed to achieve alot of goals like losing weight (does gaining more weight count ROFL) and having a better sleeping pattern (3-4 ERRDAY M8).

So I will make this blog double-up as a new-years resolution.

WHAT I WANT IN 2015
1. Spend more time with friends whom I have missed hanging out with alot this year due to being so darn busy all the time

2. Start to look into leading Youth and move on from Kids, continue regular church attendance

3. Find someone to love and truly appreciate, no more random infatuations and settle down

4. Get a paid-internship in social media/digital marketing

5. Managing my money better, no more mindless spending

6. LOSE WEIGHT, EXERCISE DAMMIT

7. Become more girly and refined, swear less, drink less, speak softly.

Ok thats all guys happy new year.

Spoiling Myself This Christmas

So in the past 48 hours I have successfully spent a few hundreds bucks on expanding my ever-growing makeup collection.

It all began when I grew so sick and tired of my fake Naked palette I impulse bought a ChiChi one with Chairman. Nekminut double impulse Too Faced purchase from Mecca and all the money spent at Myer today just to accumulate enough points to reach silver. But hey... at least I can continue them makeup review entries amirite?

So because I've been working 7am-11am alot lately I've had the entire day available to chill with parents. So of course we went city! I was abit grumpy upon arrival but we got to go Kabuki Shoroku again and eat their yummy seafood! The manager even gave us free miso soup :3 A fed pig = a happy pig!

Mum ordered two tubs of ice cream online and her goal of the day was to pick them up even though dad and I were like can u not damn u groupon but as a result she went all: "Ok all ur makeup purchases today I will shout" and I'm all "HEH PREPARE YO BODIES". Then dad was like to her "man you're too stingy" and it made her go into a rage buying spree (which quickly stopped because she wanted to wait till before Singapore for duty-free saves). I bumped into Kry and Kae and Kae put makeup on my mum and she actually looked quite nice afterwards (big surprise since she doesn't wear makeup anymore). So while my dad patiently waited mum and I skipped around Westfield looking at random shops.

Dad wanted Crazy Wings for dinner but we ended up going the KBBQ beneath HK Yumcha Cafe. The menu was tiny and the food average but the service really made everything better. Waiters were attentive and super nice they literally came by every 5 minutes to flip our meat (dad: but I wanna cook it myself D:) and refill our sidedishes even without us asking. I was really keen beans to go K with my family because I wanted to sing Chinese songs, so we went Lantern for an hour despite it being 9:30pm (nothing like partaying hard with ur rents amirite).

I just got home and I'm so exhausted. Mum wanted to get me an iPhone 6 and a Nespresso machine from her credit card loyalty points but I feel abit spoiled so I said I'll think about it (WEIRD HUH). The day was almost too fun to be perfect since everytime the three of us go out someone ends up upset. I kept on expecting something bad to happen but guess not! (NO JINXING)

BUT MAKEUP REVIEW SOON YAY!

City Shenanigans

Welp, since the Melbourne post has been super delayed might as well delay it even longer. I'm just gonna blog about my time at JASS Ball and Christmas Party.

Gal, Soso, BD and I booked for two nights at Menzies next to Wynyard station cuz it was cheap and actually not full. The hotel sucks poop is all I can say. You call yourself 4-star?? I've been to motels better than that! Plus it was super inconvenient in terms of travel as well despite being right next to Wynyard sigh. One of the major reasons why we were super late to JASS Ball.

So Soso decided to pick me up from my house which I was really grateful for but unfortunately since I'm so freaking disorganised he walked in my mum doing my hair still (it ended up coming undone anyway sigh). The traffic to the city sucked so much instead of taking 30mins it took us two hours. Soso got mad at me but somehow both of our angers got redirected to the hotel location which was technically my fault anyway OTL So it ended up taking us forever to get a taxi we decided to just catch a bus. I had to run around in my amazingly high heels (which I wore to our yr 12 formal I just don't understand why it was so freaking tall how did I not notice) and my legs were like dead by the time we got to the venue (it was shaking and bruised quite an unpleasant sight).

The event itself was okay I guess? The food wasn't great the free drinks weren't great either and I didn't even know many of the people there but somehow the night passed in a blur and it just felt good to dress up all formal and shieet. Once we were back at the hotel we passed time with Cards Against Humanity and Tinder LOL And of freaking course I got cramps again because of my amazing "hotel and period' curse so it was awkward for all as we had to look for places selling pads at 1am.

Christmas Party was a whole different story. I started stressing out about work because the timetable for next week got changed to scaryass times that I have no buses for. People also started coming over to the hotel for our pre-party and this part was probably the most fun I had since we were so retarded. Like rating girls from League of Hunnies and troll sites. All good except for my crappy cramps so I couldn't go help set up either. Feels really bad how I haven't done jack since getting elected. Jes came with our wigs and accidentally brought me the short wig she used for Len.... shieet. I tried to style it as a girl but didn't work out so well.

The night went by like a blue, I was stressing way too much over work to really have fun. Cramps prevented me from drinking anything and all my friends were busy with stuff to really spend time chilling together. I got food for my Kris Kringle while some random guy got my Gintama book THE INEQUALITY! Some hair got into my contacts so my eyes also hurt for the entire end part because we were kicked out of the venue on time.

I decided to just embrace the manliness of my wig and do the full guy makeup and take failed selfies. It was a quieter night than most cuz everyone was really tired and just wanted to go to bed. Took me a while to fall asleep because BD and Gal FREAKING SNORES EARTHQUAKES. In the end I just plugged in my iPod only to find my remote not working. The check-out time was at 10:30 so we basically just scrammed the place in the morning. We went to have Sushi Train for brunch and what do you know Takeru isn't as crappy as it was before now!

Upon getting home I felt a mixture of weariness and stress. After finding out my workmate isn't picking up (she offered to drive me) and the AGM re affiliation was taking too long all the stress came back to me and I fell down really sick. Turns out my manager let me go work at 7 instead of 6 after I called him. But I was too sick by then anyway and warned him I might not make it. Then in the morning I realised my alarm wasn't set properly but I stayed sick till 3pm anyway.

All in all I'm definitely just gonna look for a paid internship now because I'm definitely quitting this job once the holidays end.
