What the hell is a flying green song-rabbit?!
Grongbit (GReen sONG rabBIT) is the result of our nicknames combined. "Our" meaning the three founding authors. The flying comes from our guest-turned-permanent blogger, Butterfly Coffin.
And yes, rabbits can too fly, sing and be green.

Bags and Shoes
* edited with new sections because somehow they got deleted and I had to retype -.-
Serena said the other day to do a post like this so here is it!
The other day I noticed a sale at de Louvre (sp?) and called her over just to buy shoes XD needless to say she bought some white heels I bought black ones. They're both so cute! >< (PS where are the photos!!) We started counting how many shoes we had... obviously Serena had more than me and mine consist mostly of ugly shoes but here they are -.- Shoe Collection
hmm feel like I missed a pair somewhere cuz the other day I counted 20 =\ There's 18 here and one hiding at S's house XD. Yes those are my sister's feet when she realised I took them out and arranged them she said "You're REEEEAAAALLLY VAIN!!" T_T
Since Serena said I should talk about each shoes significance and memory here goes XD
Starting from top left.
1. Black pair of boots I bought a few days after my brown pair split on me because of my fat feet! I saw these actually when I went to meet up with Serena to shop first but I thought I'll prob find better looking ones so didn't buy them -.- in the end few days later I bought them. The heel isn't great material wise and I wish there was brown in my size but it has a nice buckle. It's the one where i posted before about how D questioned the purpose of a buckle XD
2. Nike Sport Shoes. These are by far my favourite sport shoes. Got these so many years ago and they're still going strong. Recently converted into my gym shoes since they're a bit big and bulky but oh so comfy. I've washed them numerous times too ><
3. Black suede boots with leopard print inside. never folded it down before though to show it >.> Tie up strings at back. I really like these but walking in even these small heels to uni and back is a bit tiring... and they go clank clank clank on the floor which sorta annoys me (hence rarely wears heels). Prob my cheapest buy ever for shoes...
2nd row.
4. Converse hi tops. These are black and white looks like newspaper print. Rarely worn since I used to wear the brown ones and after they died I just bought other shoes after realising these aren't very comfy..... I have wide feet T_T
5. Brown low top converse. Really liked these before since they don't make my feet look fat but they are so damn uncomfortable.. burst through the seams on one side -.- If I walked around whole day in them my feet dies... sadly these shoes have died... the back cotton started coming off therefore creating a little uneven surface at the heel= hurts more!!!
6 & 7. Light blue sports shoes and dark blue sports shoes. Bought these years and years ago when I first went back to china... I'm talking 5+yrs ago!! The light blue ones were non bulky and really comfy but through wear and tear they're not very presentable now -.- Dark blue ones I used to wear during sport days cuz they matched our sport uniform XD I remember Joanne Fu commenting about that once. Comfy but don't like the design =\ still wearable just not worn...
3rd Row.
8. School/work shoes. Bought these at Williams while shopping with Nelson (poor soul went shopping with me all day for presents and shoes XD) Bought for work since my school shoes were getting even scrappier to wear to work since uniform is black. However they cost me like $60+ and only a few months later have already split at the bottom -.- can't walk in cleaning areas since water seeps in....
9. My new Puma sport/casual shoes! Used to wear converses but they broken and other ones uncomfy.. gym shoes too bulky for tighter jeans and started to really hate my Rabens -.- Use these mostly for prac lessons at uni. They're a bit dirty already.. and they're pink.. might be a bit big and laces damn hard to thread but they're quite nice =) Bought them last minute at Penrith with D (yeh i know Penrith.... -.-)
10. My yuck Raben shoes. I don't know why I wanted them in the first place =\ my converses broke and I needed covered shoes.... damn regret the purchase. I rarely wear them now since they're dirty and I cbf washing them XD
11. Black Wedge Heels. These are probably my oldest shoes here. Man I remember I LOVED these shoes when I first got them. I was so young then >< (13?) I loved clonking around in these and I would wear them everywhere. If I could wear them with socks in winter I would have T_T And they're from like Payless. I got so much wear out of them and they still look decently new now =) Don't wear them anymore though...
4th Row:
12. I was browsing around Merrylands when I decided I wanted a pair of thongs and bought these at Jay Jays. I've NEVER liked thongs before this... always thought who'd want to walk around with this wedge thing between their toes? BUT after I experienced the comfyness of thongs I became a convert! These thongs lasted me all summer and almost the next if it weren't for the fact that it started getting too thin on me -.-
13. Next pair of thongs. Bought the day Serena and i went formal shopping in Burwood Westfields and her shoes broke within minutes of arriving XD we went into Jay jays and she bought a brown pair and I wanted this coral colour but not in my size so went for yellow (this continues on from my yellow phase in summer >.>)
14. My shiny silver heels I wore for the formal. The heel isn't too low or high (highest heels i own I think XD) but these heels are so comfy! yes I said heels are comfy ><
15. My lovely black, red and white keds. Got these lovely things from fellow triumvirates jen and vvn. They're so cute >< but so fucken uncomfortable. I remember I went school once to do chem exam or something. it was really hot that day. I wore like a dress and I wore these keds to show vvn and jen. BIG mistake.. all I did was walk to school sit for exam and walk home and they killed like hell.... alb especially asked me to go cabra walk around for food or something.. by the time I got to cabra I was practically limping... I stood on the back heel material and wore them as slip ons cuz the heel started hurting.. but the front started rubbing on my feet.. when we got back to station Evelyn pitied me and even asked if I wanted socks or other shoes... by the time I turned the corner into my street home I took them off and ran home. (ran because the ground was scorching from the hot weather and grass didn't look safely clean...) Came home with 4 blisters, still scars today =(
16. Bought these also at Penrith at Wanted shoe stores while with D (yep bought 2 pairs of shoes in one day ^^) he liked them and they were alright comfyness and they matched my Tony Bianco bag! and there was nothing else -.- so I bought them! They sorta hurt a bit if I walk for ages cuz my feet is wide so it restricts the width of my feet.... but they're really soft leather/fake leather like my bag!
5th Row:
17. Silver and black bow tie slip ons. I was scared to buy the flats with inclosed heels incase they rubbed and created blisters on heel >.> These are okay really liked them before but now they got a bit old looking and my heel isn't supported XD
18. These are quite old when I wanted to buy a pair of thongs I wanted something different from plain old rubber thongs and bought these. They're flowers on the thong part. They look okay ish but it's VERY slippery so can't go beach and when my feet sweat it gets slippery and hard to wear. I will wear again XD
And that's all my shoes!! Excluding the black ones i recently bought >.>
I swear the god no more shoes until I find a nice pair of brown heeled boots XD
Sucky Bag Collection
From hello Kitty bag and in a circle in...:
1. Bright pink Hello Kitty Shirt Shaped Bag. My sister got this in her Hello Kitty show bag at royal easter show. Bunch of other very cool things but bright PINK. I wear this bag rarely only to like beach or picnic or when I'm feeling extremely pink and girly AND need a large bag.....
2. Brown canvas bag. Got this free with a clothing purchase of my mum's from DFO. Good size to use for my practical stuff like dissection kits, lab coats, lab manuals etc.
3. Small blue bag. Someone gave me this bag when I was pretty small ish 10 maybe? I remember i spilt bubble mix bottle inside so it smells funny now XD now my sister uses it when she goes out but other than that I don't use it anymore just saw it on the rack.
4. Green Addidas gym bag. Someone gave this to me dunno when =\ Never used it much before liked it just had no use for it =\ used it once for Animania when i stayed over at backpackers now I use it as my trusty gym bag =) It's just the right size to fit everything but a bit bulgy in the end >.>
5. Brown uni bag. Fell in love with this bag when I saw it. The leather was so soft!!! and it was small enough to not look too bulky and not have me end up putting too much in it and strain my back (though I do a bit >.>) but also big enough for everything I need for uni =) It's lined in cotton fabric not those cheaper weird ones I saw at Equip eww.
6. Small Denim bag. I loved this bag before XD casual looking and just right I could even fit a drink bottle into it's small size. But it got older and older had to buy new one -.- still use it sometimes when I feel dull boring and very very casual -.-
7. Cream Tony Bianco bag. My favourite buy so far =) It's so soft! and lined with purple silk material... I think I've talked enough about this bag so I'll stop. I even polished it XD
8. Small yellow shoulder bag. Have no idea when I got these or even when I used it. Very old I hate this bag >.> just found it hanging.. forgot about it's existence...
9. Silver weave clutch. Used once for formal =\ it's really cute but anything that isn't flat put in there makes it look very ugly XD
10. Blue snoopy shoulder bag. I use this bag on and off sometimes.. maybe twice a year XD? It looks cute and childish now. Bought it yonks ago in china with those blue shoes.. so 5+ years old!!
11. Long light green bag with paw prints. I think i saw this at art box and had to have it. It's really cute it used to be my favourite bag! and oh so many pockets!! But now i don't use it anymore....
12. Rectangular brown/cream shoulder bag. Oh this bag went through a lot with me.... Went china trip with it. I have no idea how it fitted all my junk or why I picked such a small bag O_O. But the trusty flap meant I did not get robbed at all in china unlike my other friends. Now my mum uses this bag on and off -.-
* my school bags are not included in this and only grabbed the ones I could see from the storage under the stairs I could see so might have more =\
*Mum's watching some Asian drama. She watches them from time to time but she full disses them about how stupid they are -.- apparently Chef gave them to her, they're his favourite type of shows he pauses them if he needs to get up from the seat and is glued once he starts. PS Chef is over 40yrs old Asian guy!! wtf?? Guy.. over 40? watching a show designed for girls in their teens??? But mum doesn't seem to like romantic scenes and fast forwarded the romantic "OMG I JUST REALISED I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU" kissing in the rain scene -.-
This post is too long T_T I am sorry I think I ranted too much -.-
That is all!
xoxo always,
M.

A Bitch, 'Cos Life's Worth It
Listening to: Heng Xing - Fahrenheit
Reading: NA - JA
Wearing: Striped oxford shirt, skinny jeans, Burberry trench, black bow alice band, white pointed heels.
Current obsession: I have a book fetish.
This introduction is dedicated to the many laughable moments of Josh.
Like that time Maria and I scolded him for playing around with the Max Brenner table number thing, and the waiter skipped our order because of it.
Like his male homophobic behaviour.
And the way he perks up at the mention of lesbianism, concerning either M and I, Reila and I or threesome.
Like the day M told him about the "gay best friend fruit basket", and tricking D into believing there was such a thing while he frantically looked for one online and lamented the price. D is such a cheapass, no offence.
Like our discussion/s on his lack of masculinity, how M's mother calls him "the girly one" and how it makes him depressed that we question his manhood.
Like how we told him if he
READ OR IS READING THIS SITE RIGHT NOW, HE IS A GIRL BECAUSE ONLY GIRLS READ BLOGS!
Ahem.
Like his dreams to look just like Arnie before being Governor.
Like the time he bought KFC when M and I were dieting after the gym but was craving KFC.
And the many times we used his credit card at Parra which prompted me to currently owe him $14.60 from Max Brenner alone.
And like that unforgettable (yet I forgot it) moment when M and I agreed that Shu was a sweet guy beneath the jerk exterior, and he said in a high-pitched girly voice:
"Ohhh Shu, what a dreamboat...what a catch."
...
Is anyone disturbed now? :D
Took Lilas out for a spin at uni as well as SMASH! Had a few comments made about whether or not she’s real T_T A friend's friend who's a gay guy, and I mean really gay. He laughs like a giggling girl in a high pitched squeal, and acts like Kelvin but worse. He wanted to hold my bag -_-
Also took my brand new De Lourve *looooove* shoes I bought on Monday with M (you owe me money), even though the heel was cutting into my freaking foot. It was worth it; looked damn good okay? Leave my superficial self alone. They are loveable. Off-white pearl surface, and it turns bright sparkling white in the sun. It stands out more than hot red stilettos. Of course, I don't have hot red stilettos to compare.
I’ve come to realise that I’m one of those attentive kids who prefer to sit up front before the authorative figure, but end up sitting at the back due to lack of space. And I'm one of those students who suck up to their teachers in an attempt to get a good performance mark and recognition. Because...I've always been a Teacher's Pet :D
And damn proud yo!
I've never mentioned this before, since I deemed it paranoia, but my instincts haven't been much wrong yet. After all, I detected both Mr. T and Mr. N's advances. It's just some guy, who happens to be Asian to my dismay lol, who was and I use the word in past tense, in one of my classes last semester. We're doing a different course, and I believe he's in second year or something like that. Either way, he's 20, has a younger brother and sister, went to Homebush Boys and lives in Lidcombe. And I think he likes me.
>_>
It's always so embarassing to admit thigns like this, but this is what Grongbit is for. I try not to leave much out. Regardless, lets just call him Mr. B.
Everytime I see him he always ends up talking to me when I try to avoid him. I'm too reclusive to just greet everyone I know so I pretend I don't see them. I'm bad, I know. Being antisocial throughout my teens does this to you.
He walks with me from and to the bus station, he tries to make idle chit-chat while he wait for transport and the moment that pulled the trigger on my type-happy fingers to blog this: there were spare 3 seaters on the train which would fit 2 people very comfortably, but he opted for the 2 seater and I had no choice but to sit very close next to him out of etiquette. I don't ditch my 'friends'. M is an exception.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Anyway.
I'm not being overly paranoid and arrogant that every guy who befriends me likes me, right?
I'm sure to rebuff any suspected advances. I'm still very much in love with Mr. N (no I am not going to blog about what happened between us last Thursday, yet) and he's Asian and not hot LOL.
*burns in hell*
Allow me my fickle nature, I deserve this after falling for personalities > looks boys. I'm still all for personality, but Mr. B is quite bland anyway. I don't know him well enough to pin assumptions on him, but I'm still saying he's not my type.
I'd rather fall for my classmate and bane-of-my-life-because-she's-so-intelligent-and-gorgeous-and-teachers-love-her, Valeria.
I'm kidding, I'm perfectly straight -_- I hope I didn't scare any readers off, I seem to be scaring D and even myself sometimes.
I’m tossing between my arch-nemesis Journalism and my supposed forte Advertising. It doesn’t help when public opinion dictates:
25. Newspaper journalists
26. Advertising people
27. Car salesmen
Both career paths (in a poll for most liked to hated profession[als]) are placed in league with…car salesmen.
Not to mention that telemarketers are like, number 28 or something.
T________________________T
Anyway, I finished watching the series Rolling Love and I'm so pissed and upset over the plot.
Warning: Spoilers ahead
What the bloody flying fuck I can't believe they just killed of Leng Lie's father just like that! That's just so depressing and fabricated, just to proe his son's innocence! That fucking bitch Qiu Lin, forcing him to commit suicide!!! And omg Tang Yu Zhe was crying and curled up into a ball on the floor sobbing ;_; SO CUTE YET SO SAD. That scene was so realistic... I'm glad that bitch felt so guilty and so bad after finding out, doing so much shit just so Leng Lie would love her, I mean wtf?! Why would anyone love you when you're the one who destroyed their reputation!! Pissed at the scriptwriters for making such stupid nonsense up D<
End spoilers.
On a completely different note, I have just pre-ordered this, The Tales of Beedle the Bard replica of the original handwritting by JK. Isn't it so awesome and frightening? It's so incredibly exciting and terrifying because it was released for orders over a week ago and there are only 100, 000 copies made. If I don't make the cut-off, I'll throw a tantrum on my birthday :(
Yes that's right.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J. K. Rowling.
In the collectors edition.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKK.
It's going to be the centrepiece of my puny book wardrobe. I blew off M and Biennale so I can go to Ikea with mother to get a new shelf for my stuff.
I wanted to do a serious post about some issues that bug me in society, but I'm turning this into a girl's post instead.
I just want to bitch about my so called friend Reena who isn't a good friend at all. But nevermind. She's not worth my anger. Only Porkie is, but don't tell him that because he's annoying as fuck.

Everything Post
How do i begin? After my longish hiatus -.-
I'll begin with Thursday my crappy crappy day....
Tuesday started off badly my maths lecture was so boring.. it was like sitting a yr11 maths lesson... funny thing was the lecturer was this Asian guy who couldn't say number one properly and kept saying "wan" and i know this is mean but the class couldn't stop giggling quietly every time he said one... then the lecture lights kept dimming and he said "hmm I think it's because I don't walk around enough...." and kept walking round in circles.
I also forgot my lecture pad and had to write some notes on the back of my timetable...
Went for breakfast after. Thought I'll be cheap and buy toast thinking it'll be much cheaper than a crepe. By Thursday I'd gone a lot over my limit of spending for the week. I was WRONG WRONG WRONG. Toast is NOT cheap at all....
Went to the counter asked for ONE slice of toast with peanut butter and jam thinking last time I had toast one slice was quite thick. The lady said FOUR DOLLARS!! For one slice of toast O_O
Is it just me or is that a bit TOO much???
I thought she thought I said two slices so I asked her "for one slice?" and she said yeah...
When the toast came out the person had put in two slices anyway so she gave me two slices. It was thin normal bread too... wasn't even that nice.. next time I'll buy a $5 crepe instead... more filling plus better and only $1 cheaper.
At night I made a huge mistake -.- I promised someone a movie but promised some one else gym =( I'm sorry. I'll never pick him over you! >=( Sorry D but I'm just not ready to put you as my most important person. Not ready for that type of commitment =\
And then he got hurt by that. god I didn't need to deal with that then T_T
So then I'd upset two people that night THEN realised I'd lost one of my earrings that I newly bought! (found it next day it got tangled in my umbrella)
Being angry at myself that I'd just pissed off the two people I care about, I decided I didn't want to go movie or gym T_T So I went shopping at the Broadway shopping centre I had just discovered... yes I didn't realise it had one till that day...
I hope I made it up to you guys on Saturday =\
Oh I realise people can be such bitches T_T. I won't name names but some friends in know i reckon have been pretty bitchy.... Okay a few months ago S, C and I were sitting eating lunch when this guy passes, lets call him H, and S points out that that's the guy J likes. I realised I'd seem him around sitting with J a few times. Fast forward a new days and S, C, J and I are sitting eating lunch when J points out that her and S think T, another different guy is good looking. Fast forward a few months and J dates T unbeknown to S as I am told.... J knows perfectly well that S also likes T but dates him anyway behind her back. Fast forward another month or so and J and T have broken up. Funny thing is S is now often seen with H, the guy J apparently liked before? Is this like revenge? Did she find out those two were dating before without her knowing (though it seemed a bit obvious.) Sigh is she getting back at J? Why's everyone so mean for, we should all just be happy and not date =) lol.
Here's some shopping. I bought this top the other day for really cheap but thought I probably won't be wearing it anytime soon so I shall show you guys =) Other purchases you'll just see when it's on me
Looks like any other black silky singlet top.
I like this part. Looks rocker ish with the studs but so detailed ><
What i wore for Smash.. randomly taking photos in my room -.-
In bathroom, I thought my hair looks quite nice semi curly/wavy XD Hmmm maybe I should permanently curly it like this =P . Will curl more often when I go uni.. doesn't take much more effort than straightening cuz using same tongs instead of straighten just curl =\
Omg it's nearly 12... class at 8 tomorrow!! How can I wake up now -.-

Home Alone
Listening to: Ice Box - Omarion
Wearing: Pjs.
A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month!
This new blouse I got has a really low neckline -_- So annoying when I lean over and expose what my mother gave me. I'm also greatly surprised and happy that my dresses are "Made in Australia". Support economy yo! And *shock* it's from Supre, ew I know but $10 a piece is a sweet deal. This skirt will be made according to my taste and will have cost me $20.
I realised I'm starting to take over the blog again. I'm sure nobody minds my narcissism.
Supposed to be sharing it with B and Kebu but they were too slow and we had to hurry to Jin's. Pft, the things I do, seriously. I still want to try a cosmo and martini the James Bond way: shaken, not stirred.
Such good spirits today. Revel in me is wonderful. Nevermind the rents bickering in the background over financial matters.

Out With the Old, In With the Tacky
Listening to: Take Me Away - Lindsay Lohan
Reading: Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen
Wearing: White button-up blouse/denim jacket/black A-line skirt/crisscross stockings/silver black flats/silver headband for the bad hair today.
Current obsession: Camwhoring.
Just another Thursday shopping spree. Kebu keeps getting free Easyway from Maria everytime we drop by. Have you no shame Kebu?
My course is sucky now. I resort to retail therapy to soothe me.
Still a cheapskate shopper. Beautiful dark red tank, 3/4 sleeve white, 2 red tartan dresses that I will cut up to substitute for the $75 Paddy one I wanted T_T Oh and an office blouse. I cbf with pictures.
We've all been on the Millennium trains many times, but have you guys ever been on the Countrylink Millennium?! It smells like new cars :D
I swallowed my pride in the most painful way.
We're no closer to a solution.
As if we ever were.
Stop deluding yourself with denial.
If M and Darren didn't have help, they would end up like us.
We're just everything gone wrong, then taken to the next level of one other fucked up relationship.
And I thought T was bad enough.
I need to get new bras. Again. I'm not getting support and I'm beginning to sag since I'm 'losing' weight. To the girls who envy my assets; AT LEAST YOURS WON'T SAG. I'm so disheartened.
Countdown begins: 5 days.
No matter.
Still not gutsy enough to loosely use such a word.
No matter no matter.
This is fucked up.
This is appropriate. He's going in a few days, so it's pretty much now or never isn't it? It's bad timing, but very appropriate. I'll have to get it out eventually, and that day arrived. Rituals were becoming repetitive to the point of uselessness. I have no need for idle talk, only M can entertain me with that.
But I felt no need to be released, just assured.
For once in a long time I wanted to be left alone. I'm back to my old ways of harsh tempers, abrupt replies and distancing. Don't call me, if I can't even do it online I'll have no words to say. I must not lose my sense at such a dire situation.
Why didn't I just take the easy way out and end it? It would do me good to move on. I can find another boy to have Eurasian babies with.
Damn Irishmen.
He drinks too much, parties, play games in his free time like a geek and bitches about everything annoying.
I'm allergic to alcohol and stopped gaming. The only thing I ever bitch about is either Porkie or him.
Match made in bloody fucking heaven.
We don't even have much in common! He admires my smarts and I like his arrogance. He's moved out, independent and has a job. I live with mother and father, leech off their goodwill and go to school. They even pay for my uni fees despite my trust fund <- Hermes Kelly right there.
Your typical good girl/bad boy? Almost. This is reality folks, where love is conditional and puppy dogs are euthanised. And he loves his mother even though he can't stand her.
What *bang*
Is *bang*
Wrong *bang*
With *bang*
Me *bang*
Puppies are so kawaii! >_>
Head hurts. Shall read Jane.

Daylight Trance
Listening to: You Were There - Steven Geraghty
Reading: Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen
Current obsession: Build-A-Bear and the colour purple
Yesterday was the first day of uni. It was better than expected because it was only one lecture and it was Introduction to Journalism; mucho fun! Very exciting and I'm sure I'd be rather proficient, but I am still intent on not doing it. For now.
So tempting...
Today was unfortunately a great disappointment. PR was a total bore and Design Thinking was just dull to no end, including my tutor who is an old man. I wanted the fashionable office lady unit coordinator! D<
Timetable was screwy, so I have a 2hr gap between lectures but that's alright. Turns out all my uni friends do too as neither of them could get into the tutes. We sat in the sun soaking up heat and chatting, laughing and telling each other stories from our past. We have some really bad kids here; one used to be bullied, one was a bully and I was a bullied turned bully! Woah mouthful. And they said I was thin already and didn't need to lose weight like them T_T How can?!
Oops, Hui Wen moment there. I need to stop reading her blog or else my grammar will go straight to the gutter.
Sad stories were also exchanged, such as the death of Emilia's father's best friend during a family BBQ. She watched him have a heart attack and fall into the river.
And Marianne used to bully all the nerds before she became Christian, and went to rectify her 'sins' by apologising to everyone she made fun of.
Audrey was offered a modeling career, before the creep asked her if she would do nude.
Sicko.
We talked about random things such as cooking, and how both E and M love to cook and A loves to eat! We formed a baking day o_O Every Wednesday we'll cook something to bring to uni and have a feast. Sounds good eh?! How come I'm so lucky to have such sweet friends? After that was establish Marianne wanted to walk because her legs were going numb, and we decided to go down to "the pond".
It's literally a plot of water in the middle of campus. The institution is awfully tiny, but with massive grounds that make no sense and are a waste of space (although is beautiful and serene, we're near the Blue Mountains for god's sake). Ducks and small swallow-like birds (most probably willy wagtails) were swimming and swooping around the water surface, it was quiet and wonderfully peaceful. I really do enjoy my uni at times like these. Early Summer mornings with coffee at the Rdels Cafe or The Cottage = bliss. Seriously.
I felt so content.
The weather was clear, but the day was cold. The sun was warming our backs while the view ahead was picturesque. Marianne picked yellow flowers for each of us - she's so cute. It's squished in my bag hehe...
After the lecture we rocked up to the Library to just hang out, but I wanted to finish writing down my notes like a good girl :) I went upstairs to find E and A afterwards and they were looking at E's personal recipe database.
300 BBQ recipes
KFC secret recipes
250 salad and pasta recipes
There was just too many and I was there going wtf, they've been drooling voer recipes for the past 45mins?
I got hungry T_T
I was craving spaghetti with rich bolognaise and grated parmesan T_T
And lime marinated pork chops T_____________________________________T
Grr I'll never lose weight at this rate. Marianne lost so much weight by dieting she had to use a safety pin to tighten her jeans O_O Crazy girl, she's still so cute.
Oh and she's turning 21 in a month. She looks like one of us.
It was a very enjoyable day.
It was nostalgic.
Watch this space for pictures in the future.
A lonely child.
And then I made friends.

Butterfly Shops Too!
Greetings my avid readers, for once you shall see me blog not about drawing, not about Kaito-nii, but about what I've bought during these holidays!
Yes yes, I buy things as well, I just don't, like, post it up like the other two over there.
But hey, since it sounds fun, why not a first for everything?
First things first, let us start with something fairly normal, a random blouse:
Yes, it's just a blouse with a neckline lower than I'm personally comfortable with. Moving on, we have something that I thought I'd never ever buy: a pair of...flats?!
Whoa! I never saw that coming! Why did I buy them? You may ask. The answer is simple, they fitted me. Huh?! Shoes...that fit me?! Im-pos-si-ble! You know how small my feet are? And narrow? Sometimes size 5 shoes don't even fit! Well, it was too miraculous a miracle to pass up, and they weren't exactly expensive, so here they are~~
Next up! We go for something less normal. Something you'd expect me to buy, or at least, that I'd expect myself to buy:
Ta-da! Isn't it cute? That sleeve is made completely of lace, and yes, Ichigo is there in the background =)
And now for its partner:
Adorable, wouldn't you agree? I have yet to test its puff up against the wind, but at its length I think it'd be safe to say I won't be wearing it alone anyway.
On that note, let us move on to something very similar...
Whoo! I can't decide which goes with the shirt better! That's punk lolita for you huh? Lace, chains and skulls, such a wonderful combination~
Now...before we move on to the next item, I would like to note that everything I've shown up until now has been relatively cheap. Just random things I've picked up here and there, nothing over $40 I think it's safe to say. (Actually, guess which of the above is $40 -___-)
However, once in a while, I like to visit a special shop, for a few special items that are sold at a greater price.
But why oh why do I splurge there, despite finding perfectly cute items in other stores? Because of the sheer variety of course! I can find exactly what I'm looking for. And that's exactly what I found.
First things first, let us attempt the whole "suspense thing" the other two have been practising.
Da-da-da-dum! Yes, I just had to get Ichigo's bunny in there. Cute felt bag isn't it? My my Shibuya, you get fancier and fancier every time I visit you.
Let's tell a story about my Shibuya bags. I have at least 6 sitting in the corner of my room, six thick and sturdy black paper bags with the Shibuya logo clearly on the front. That, by no means, means I've only visited the store 6 times. You see, mum likes to take these paper bags, and I never see them again.
Now that they've changed their bags to become even more useful, I joked to the store assistant that maybe my mum would take this bag out to shopping, where I'll never see it again...again.
The shop assistant laughed, and pointed to a set of similar looking bags at a larger size. Apparently they sell for $3 each, cute.
Later, I saw two males, dressed in regular Honky clothing...each with a large Shibuya bag they flaunted proudly.
What's with people these days anyway? So there's this horrible overrated and overpriced store in the city called Harajuku. They have regular looking bags with the words "Harajuku Sydney" on it, and suddenly everyone is running around with those bags. People who obviously can't afford to shop at Harjuku Sydney.
Why?!
Why are we so obsessed with expensive brand names, even if they're tiny and unknown to most? Must we really pretend to be loaded with cash? Who are we kidding? Ourselves or those around us? I seriously can't care less who knows what brands I buy. These are things I'll never understand...
Enough depressing talk! You're probably nigh distracted by now already =) Goodie.
Ta da! What were you expecting? A lolita dress? Something special? Oh no no, I've been looking for a simple and sweet long sleeve lolita blouse for a long long time. But it's Shibuya, it's got to have dear little details.
Like the lace piano-key jabot, my my, I need to iron my things before I show them to public.
Oh and the fancy lace sleeve, I haven't seen something so cute for ages!
But wait! There's something even more special about this blouse that makes it expensive (not like it wasn't already) What is it?
Ah ha!
I'm not telling.
If you want to find out...go to SMASH next week!
See you there =)
Now...time to display someone even more expensive (but not by much) than my dear blouse.
Aww awww, isn't he precious? I bought a little phone strap for him for $4, what a rip-off, but it suited him too well to pass up.
Ah yes, did I mention? This is Virgil. Yes~~ I named the DS you guys gave me.
Oh and I made this for Virgil myself...with blood sweat and tears!
An R4DS skin! I sliced up an old picture (literally) and pulled this together. See how the top and bottom screens match? Yeah well that took around 10 tries to perfect! I was honestly going to give it up -o-; But for Virgil, I didn't ^^
The cute character in the skin is not Virgil. Virgil is red, and he's not 'normal looking' like that guy. (Don't get me wrong, that guy's cute too =D)
Yup yup, Virgil has already been graced with his own persona~ Personality has still yet to show through properly, but it will eventually, as with all electronics =) Currently he's looking rather...ninjah!
The Hello Kitty phone strap really adds to his manliness...uh huh...
UPDATE: Virgil's back...nevermind the transparent shirt/coat thing kay? That's just there to show a few details...

The Catchup: Part 1
Kebu: Not at all, not at all.
:3
Now, we must all make up for lost time, so I'll make it short.
Topic Number 1: Pilgrims
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THEM?! The ones I've seen have been pretty damn well hot. There's something about young, virile, six foot tall, blond haired, blue eyed pilgrims with perfect white teeth. So what if I only noticed about five or six of them? They were a pretty hot half dozen guys. Too bad they weren't too bright.
A group of Norwegian pilgrims came into our store because it was before the official celebrations, so they weren't allowed to leave the suburb they were stationed in. One of the guys came up to me at the counter.
Norwegian guy: -points to Oakley cabinet- So you only have that snow goggle left?
Kebu: Yeah, that's the last one; we've sold the other ones.
Norwegian guy: People buy snow goggles here?
Kebu: Well it is winter...
Norwegian guy: So you only ski in winter here?
Kebu: Yes...
Norwegian guy: -holds up WYD ID tag ranging from his red lanyard- We're from Norway. In Norway, everybody has these goggles.
Kebu: -thinks- "Okay, you may be boring, but at least you're cute."
I wonder about those pilgrims... Are they really as innocent and immaculate as they claim to be? Is there some sort of secret, sinful pleasures they indulge in? Gawd, like gluttony... Buffets are awesome... -drools on keyboard-
AND SEXPO! Why do THEY get half price entry?! I probably need more help in that area... Dx
I'm afraid I must leave it like that because I'm finally beginning to feel the effects of last nights drinks.

Tough Times
Listening to: Stratosphere - t.Komine and Orange feat. Miku
Reading: Emma - Jane Austen
Current obsession: Bags.
I've been up 26hrs. Or something. I can't count right now. I just have a few things to say before I head off to bed.
Was walking behind this office lady wearing really high heels at Wynyard station. She was wearing a knee length pencil skirt, but the slit at the back was practically all the way up to her privates, on the verge of displaying them to the whole world. Imagine, I was walking behind her on the stairs. I was scoffing at the absurdity of such clothing when some man comes up from behind and puts his arm around the lady and hits on her.
I can't hear what he says, but then she turns around and unabashedly says "I'm sorry I already have a boyfriend, but thankyou so much for the offer." in which the man then replies "No worries, blah blah insert farewell here." and walks off.
T__________________T
And I think to myself:
"Where can I get one of them skirts?"
>_>
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I'm tired, but on a different but not so different note, he is leaving on the 4th for good. I'm shocked, because I never expected it to be so soon. I thought it would be at least a few months; relocating is not a light issue at all. But lo and behold, he's going in just over a week and I still haven't said anything.
I'm so chicken shit.
I'm the only other person besides his family (who obviously have to be told) and his roommates (who also have to be told) who knows he is leaving. I feel rather honoured.
Then again, he's a dumbass and totally not worth my time.
I don't know how I should feel. I feel sad, but not sad enough. I'm going to miss him.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Tough times. Back to uni next week, and begin life as an adult. Jin has already made the plunge, and I should too.
And I can't believe I only got credits for first semester! SO disappointed.

Hoe of the Camera a.k.a. Camera Whore
Listening to: Ai Qing Xuan Ya/Love's Cliff - Jay Chou
Reading: Emma - Jane Austen
Current obsession: Kitty cuddles.
I'm sitting in my room, freezing my arse off in this unholy weather whilst wearing thin jammies. Smart. Anyway, I finally remembered a faster way to get photos from my trusty black Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 to the computer (which by the way, is still dead and I don't know why I am still using it); shove it in the tower jack.
Yeah Emille's tower has a port for SD cards of all sizes. Pretty nifty.
YES I NAMED MY COMPUTER EMILLE D<
Snow in my hair at Thredbo.
Vvn likes to waste food. Tsk tsk. We all went to Star City buffet for Butterfly's 19th, after many indecisive and full sushi bars, and a bloody long walk in my Kasui shoes. I'm going to bring my flats with me everywhere from now on. I've had to deal with too many blisters and painful memories!! *cries*
Other than the wardrobe malfunction, the buffet was delightful. I think I was persuaded over with the presence of curry, which I had been craving for a few weeks now. It's a shame M may have gotten food poisoning and we were forced to skip The Red Tree concert. Don't berate yourself over it dear, how can we let you go when you fainted and fell on us?
Alright, here's the watermelon the three girls on our table each took a bite out of. Not to mention to black forest that Vvn chopped into inedible and rather gross pieces.
One thing to say: -__________________________-
Evidence of a camwhore. This just happened to be the only decent picture on buffet night that I passed.
This was just too funny to pass up! xD I'm envious of Vvn's large eyes.
Er, yes. Belated photo of one of our Max Brenner Thursdays. If I remember correctly, it was the all chocolates night - dark, milk and white, but with Minglez instead of Kebu. DOes anyone feel like cheese fondue, because I do. Right about now.
Time for bed. I can't figure out what's wrong with the scripts and I can't even comprehend them. Le sigh. I think I shall take pictures of my outfits that I'm proud of, just to fill up blog space. But we all know how that plan will end up here and here.
I'm running out of things to say. I got fatter last week from overeating; 2 all-you-can-eat buffets and countless midnight "snacks"*, and we didn't even go to the gym all week! I was so proud of myself today for dragging my fat butt to Goodlife and working out a bit. Poor M, wish you could have joined us.
I just remembered that we're going to watch The Dark Knight, then pizza at Albert's today. Crap, pizza = carbs and fat and gross stuff.
I NEED TO GO ON A DIET! Gym doesn't solve ALL the problems!
* more like midnight MEALS -_-
