Lair of Flying Green Song Rabbits

Had a shit day at work today but more on that later.

Sunday
Sass and Bide Sale! Woke up at an hour too ungodly for non exam season to go to Sass and Bide sale with Serena! There wasn't as many people as expected at the sale lining up outside as I thought XD But once inside and after an hour or so everything was a mess... literally could NOT find anything!

Spent $140! But saved so so much!


Love new jeans!



Bought:

Cotton rainbow stripey dress (RRP $250 at DJ but on discount for $150 at DJ. Bought: $10!!!!)
Denim vest
light blue jeans +high waisted black jeans (Prob around $200 each normally)

So see I saved like over $500!

My mum goes the rainbow dress looks like an apron -.-

After Sass and bide sale we went wondering around David Jones (where we spotted the dress for $150) and looked at Alannah Hill, Witchery, Chloe, YSL etc *sigh =(

We decided we were hungry and I wanted to go Full House Korean restaurant but it was closed on Sundays =(. Instead we went to the restaurant downstairs, Han Cook with the best Korean ginger chicken hot pot (okay I've only been to one place that has it >.>)

Yums!


My dumpling and rice cake soup $14.

The soup was super yummy and the rice cakes were not too chewy and very very good but the dumplings were shit. I had 1-2 and didn't eat any more they were yucky =( Could barely finish this it came in a massive tin bowl.


Korean Side dishes. The yellow triangle one was nicest! I don't normally eat these cuz it's mostly kimchi dishes which I don't eat >.>


S explaining something lol. You glow!


The yummy ginger baby chicken hotpot thing. I hope you liked it S!


Obligatory photo! Man my hair cut makes me look so punk rock ish XD Esp with faux leather jacket XD


S couldn't finish it. It came with a tiny bowl of rice too.


I didn't like the dumplings so I didn't finish it. I couldn't finish the soup either was way too full!

Monday
Had work during the day and was suppose to go JAS party but after I got home and showered it was too late -.-. Oh these two guys kept staring at me at work! Omg super awkward man I could see from my peripheral vision! Lets call them Asian guy and stubble guy. Yeh they kept talking to each other like whispering while they waited for their food! Oh there's also this really old guy (stubble and Asian guy look very young) who comes all the time to say hi to me and asks why I come and whether it's cuz I need to see him T_T wtf.

Tuesday
Work again at 6am in the morning. Asian guy asks me if the woman next to me is my mum and whether the guy is my dad and I say yes and whether it is obvious. he tells me I look like my dad. Maybe that's why he was staring at me yesterday and was prob discussing whether I look like my mum/dad!

After work I went to print about 150 photos from backlog comp files and correcting and retouching them all took so long was almost late for my movie date T_T.

Got home... barely had time to shower and straighten my hair and put on make up! Had about 40mins to do all three. But I managed sorta... only half straightened my hair and did this instead:


Hmm my phone isn't connecting to my comp properly -.- So had to retake this photo. Yeh I wore a beanie and threatened my bf if he dared to try and take it off I will do unimaginably horrible things XDDD Oh lookie it's my ebay dress!!!!! i can imagine myself wearing it all summer BUT my arms are fat T_T i am now afraid to wear sleeveless stuff.

Please ignore my retarded legs... oh I wore my super high wedges again cuz the boy says I will get sick of it very quickly and will move on to a different pair of shoes very very soon T_T So I am making an effort to wear it ALL the time when he's around XDDD. Oh one guy beeped at me and another one stared out the window instead of the road >.> It's totally the shoes WOOOT! Lucky shoes!

Oh I was freezing.. cuz my stockings were in the wash =(

Went with the boy to watch Transformers. The movie was pretty good =) and we kept looking for Megan Fox's apparent Toe Thumb (apparently her thumb looks like a toe; it's true!)

To make up for last time when the boy did not wait for me at the station he drove! But only cuz his sister was sick and didn't have netball practice -.-. I pretty much just made it to the cinema and had time to buy an easyway and some sushi and after movies he drove me straight home so didn't have that much time to hang out =(.

I think it's er.... slightly getting to my head cuz I miss him now within a day or two of not seeing him =( (Don't even say what you might be thinking!!!)

Wednesday
Today I had a horrible day at work I was making a sandwich for this guy and he had a pretty big expensive order of: Toasted chicken wrap with avocado, mozzarella cheese, olives, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms. Which is quite a lot and the pricing of each items is different ish unlike our normal salads. It's easy to forget say avocado at the bottom when you've stacked it all up.

So I was at the counter telling him $10.40 and the following conversation ensues:

Me: That'll be $10.40 sir.
He gets out his card and hands it to me while I start to swipe it.
Him: How come it's $10.40? Yesterday I had one and it was $9.40
Me: Um I'll calculate each separate charge for you. A chicken wrap is $6.00, avocado is $1.00 and mozzarella cheese is $1.00......
Him: (interrupts) that tiny sprinkle of cheese is $1.00? This bloody place is a rip off
Me: If you would like, tasty cheese is 60c. Mozzarella cheese is slightly more expensive sir.
Him: it's not about the price this place is always charging different prices.....
Me: I will print a recepit for you and you can tell them your wrap is $10.40 next time and they won't make a mistake.
Him: What and be charged more? I got charged $9.40 yesterday why would I want to pay $10.40 all the time? And what Monday it'll be $8.50? What will be the price tomorrow?
Me: I'm sorry sometimes we get a bit busy and we make mistakes and your order...
Him: I don't bloody care it shouldn't matter you guys need to get your act together. Every day charge a different price for my lunch. How come you guys aren't consistent hmm?
* I print off the receipt and write down the price of every item I charged for in his sandwich and hand it to him
Him: I don't care about the price! Whether it's $10.40 or whatever you guys need to get your act together! My friends all say as well you guys always charge differently every day. What's the deal with that huh?? I am never coming here again, this is my last time and I'm gonna tell everyone to not come here too. You guys have the control here just putting out whatever prices you want all the time but I've had enough I'm never coming back again!!!
Me: .......

As I went to my dad still clutching the receipt I meticulously wrote out for him I felt tears well up as I explained to my dad what happened. My dad asked me why I didn't call him for help.

I was stuck on the spot =\ trying to explain to this guy that was stopping me mid sentence and it wasn't even my fault cuz I don't even usually do sandwiches so I'm never the one that makes the mistakes anyway yet I was the one paying for the mistake.

After I quickly summarised to my dad what happened, I ran to the bathroom and sat there crying for a good 10mins before I realised my eyes were too red so grabbed a juice and went outside to get some air and be on a break. He got me so fired up that was all I had for lunch.

Sigh what a shit day....

Asian guy and stubble guy STILL stared at me today although I was making a smoothie and didn't serve them. Stubble guy is getting a different job now so he's moving away.

Was suppose to go to the gym tonight but was so tired when I got home that I didn't feel like it.

Didn't win the $106million =(

Oh so funny yesterday I asked my bro what he would do with 90million. He said very clearly he would give everyone in the family $1000 and $1000 for charity. He would also buy the DS games he wants and then the rest he plans to buy groceries XDDD SO CUTE RIGHT???

Oh and today while cooking dinner apparently my bro told my sister to tie up his hair XD At first it was a little sprout of hair on the top of his head.. but soon there was 6 "sprouts" of hair all over his head XDDD I remember when I was a kid my mum would bunch up my hair all on the top of my head and tie it up. That was my bro. And then they went to their room, closed the door and clipped hair clips and combs into his hair XDDD He took them out just before dinner though and he was embarrassed enough to not want me to take a photo but amused enough at himself to want to run around for a few seconds like that XDDDD

Hilarious. Should've sneaked a photo!

The other day I watch I Love You, Man with Midori and I forgot to swipe my Cinebuzz card. For the third time.

*fail*

It was funny. Especially when the best man announced to the whole family that the fiancee should start giving the groom blowjobs.

Now I don't claim to know all there is about keeping your skin as pretty as mine *shot by several people for bigheadedness* but I do believe that I dabble in beauty products the most out of the group (sans Jin, of course...) and this also extends to skincare. More makeup than skincare, but NONETHELESS! - it is irrelevant.

But I've come across this new blog about skincare and it is very extensive so I'll compile a list along with my thoughts on the matter. This is what works for ME alone, and my skin is different to everyone elses. I'll try to keep in mind B and K's acne and M's oily forehead as I type this.

So I shall condense the contents of this blog and how beauty is impossible to keep up with because of the array of good ingredients and products out there. I am surprised that our resident dietician Midori hasn't written an entry etailing what she has learnt and taught me about eating habits yet.

1. Water.

Everyone knows that you have to drink plenty of water to keep your skin looking radiant because it cleanses your body and skin of toxins.

However, who on Earth can remember to drink 2L or 8 cups of water a day? I certainly can't, I feel bloated if I overdrink. Also, it is a lot easier to drink more during Summer but now it's Winter and all I want to do is eat, not drink.

Solution: In Winter, drink tea infused water. It's hot so you'll be warm, and I don't like drinking plain hot water but everyone likes hot tea! Drink both green and black tea interchageably because they both have antioxidants that is also good for skin, but contain different things. So B and M, start drinking more black tea and not just green.

Fun fact: Did you know tea is bad for iron absorption? Don't drink TOO much tea because as girls, we all lack iron some way or another.

So drink tea, no more than 3 cups a day. The rest has to be filled with water. Carry a water bottle and aim to finish it by the end of the day.


2. Fruit and veg.

Enough said. Eat your fruit and your veges, M cannot preach this enough to me.

However.

Solution: For picky eaters, you must understand that certain foods are better than others even amongst fruit and veges. Also, the way you cook them will amount to how much nutrients is left, otherwise you might just be eating them for nothing. So you hate tomatoes, but tomatoes are one of the most nutrient-packed fruits, ever. Many of these fruits and even veges you can put on your face as a mask.

Fun fact: Midori says that orange juice does not have a lot of Vitamin C. This is because movement such as shaking the bottle and even pouring out the juice into your cup will dissolve Vit C and make it disappear. Hence, you're better off eating the damn orange.

Did you know broccoli can contribute to bad body fluid odors while pineapple can make everything sweeter?

Despite this though, drinking orange juice everyday is better than nothing. And take multivitamins because A, C and E are all beneficial to skin.


3. Use a hydrating mask at least once a week.

Whether you have dry skin like me, combination and eczematic skin like Kebu or oily skin like B, YOU MUST HYDRATE.

I find some moisturisers don't do it for me. Maybe I need a better moisturiser, but using a hydrating mask leaves instant results.

Solution: Too cheap to buy one? You can pick a mask up from anywhere $3-$100. And you can always make your own if you have some random plain yoghurt and honey lying around. Rinse well, pat dry.

Don't have enough time to use one? You can give up 15mins of a week to do it. Put it on while at the comp, any time of the day. Do it in the morning not necessarily at night. INSTANT RESULTS.

Fun fact: I have never used a mask you slather on before; I always use the sheet ones. They both work just as well, although it would be more effective if you used creamy ones that you wash off. Depending on your skin you can buy some with exfoliating beads (good for B, Kebu can use fine beads too).

Use a mask.


4. Sunscreen at all times.

Actually, I'm going to make this THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF SKINCARE.

Even on cloudy days, cover up all exposed parts. Especially the face. Sun causes premature wrinkles. WRINKLES. You may not think much of them now, but trust me, as someone with wrinkles YOU DO NOT WANT THEM.

Solution: Mix it with your moisturiser (because everyone uses moisturiser, if you don't then you're a loser and deserve to be wrinkly) to cut out a step in your regime. Always apply 30mins before going out, otherwise you're worse off.

I'm sure everyone already knows this, yet nobody does it anyway.

And why should we? There's so much stuff and products to use and we only have 24hrs a day. Most of us would rather age than give up so much time to our skin. We have better things to worry about.

Even if you don't use a mask or any beauty products, everyone uses moisturiser. Everyone. So use a moisturiser with SPF, goddamnit.

Fun fact: Did you know men are more susceptible to skin cancer and sun damage? Kebu, you need to load it on.


5. Foods that fight wrinkles and acne.

Spinach, olives, beans especially soy beans for soft skin, goji berries, turkey!!, flaxseed, prunes, beetroot, chocolate, red bell peppers, cranberries.

For B and K, start on low GI foods because it will help get rid of pimples. No white bread, no sugar, no potatoes.


6. Sugar causes you to age faster.

Reduce sugar intake. And Midori says salt is evil, so reduce that if possible too. LEARN to eat blander foods, your tastebuds will adjust eventually.


7. This is for Kebu. Fish spas will eat away your diseased/sore/bad skin.

Perhaps you should try it out and see how well it works out for you.

They are ticklish and weird, but I'm sure you want to get rid of your condition badly to sit through tickling.


8. Exercise.

Bloody circulation can cleanse pores and reduce acne, B.

Sorry I'll um post tomorrow eek!

Been looking for jobs + going out =(

Today was the celebration of Johnson, Anna and Sherin's birthday.

THEY ARE STILL 19.

LIFE IS UNFAIR FOR THE OLD!

Anyway.

I slept in and arrived late.

All the food was gone.

Boo.

However we sitll managed to play some games, laugh, get burnt by the warm sun...

Before the BBQ though, I made macaroni and cheese for breakfast (good thing I did, I got hungry) and right as I was leaving the house I checked my mail to find this!!!!:




EEEKK!! My ebay item and my first* designer item of clothing!!!

100% silk with very delicate sequins. It's so pretty (to me anyway).



I immediatedly opened it and tried it on, but to my utter dismay found it to be too small!! I couldn't button it up properly mainly because I didn't want to stretch such a delicate top. It may be silk but it still feels fragile.

It actually didn't look so bad when I got home and tried it on with a camisole.




Picture makes me look fatter and uglier than it really is I swear T_T And it's still a bit too small. I suppose I will still wear it, but it won't look as nice as a size 12 or even 14.

Arriving extremely late to the party (I didn't realise they had pushed back the time for the party. You guys really made it last minute because I was on Facebook until like, 1-2am and still didn't see it T_T), I met JY and her friend on the bus. Sydney Buses made everyone get prepaid tickets which started last week so no more buying tickets from the bus driver during weekdays, but the people selling them at Belmore Park were so nice! I told them where I was going and they asked me if I was going to "the party" and I said yes and gave them my sweetest smile! They knew exactly what was going on :O They even told me which bus to take, and when it came they shouted for me to hurry and run to catch it! So nice! I ran for it and waved back at them.

Why can't all bus drivers/security/people in this field be like this mah T_T

Well, after squelching through grass and mud at Centennial Park I arrived and made Maria wave frantically and look like an idiot =p

And then there was Twister. And with it, a multitude of giggles.




Lucky Vivian there had another shirt underneath.

Then things got a bit more complicated.




And more complicated LOL. Wow that is an awesome leg twist.







They always look adorable.

Whereas Maria hates taking photos and would rather CLAW YOUR FACE RAAAWWRRR!!



Wtf.

Awkward posing because he doesn't know what else to do but wave.




I called out to Lily and she looked up, gave me a sheepish smile. Her expression clearly says "uh...are you taking a photo of ME?".




Maria soaks up some much needed sun. And felt like being a starfish.





Then we played pass-the-parcel, dare style. The had an ipod hooked up to a speaker and practically 3 parcels filled with dares that people had to do. Most of them involving wasabi.

This is one of the birthday girls being terrified of her own game. Lol poor Sherin.



And then it stopped at Denise but she threw it quickly at Soondoos so they decided to share it.




They had to eat marshmallows off "the tree". Easy. Denise cheated and used her hand.



Way to go Soondoos!

Ok everyone, meet this guy:




The first brave, brave soldier who did his extreme dare faithfully unlike SOME people. Eating wasabi from bread is not that brave.

Eating a whole, raw onion, is something.

Mystery guy whose name I don't know, I applaud you for sticking to the rules.

Viet-in-a-tree. He had to hug it, but instead he climbed it too o_O




Guy number 2. His dare: hump the person to your right = Sherin HAHAHAHA. He refused to do it.






In the end, someone hailed him to his feet and dragged and dumped him on top of Sherin. She looked quite uncomfortable after =/

Then after presents and the pinata, I went home with B and Maria :D

Oh, one more thing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA AND SHERIN (AND JOHNSON)!!

Omg Yay my exams are OVER!!!

The past few days (during exams) I've had about 3hrs sleep every night...

Routine:
Monday: slept for 3hrs
Tuesday: nap for 30min and sleep for 3hrs
Wednesday: Nap for 1hr and sleep for 3hrs
Thursday: nap for 2hours and sleep for 2.5hrs.

But luckily after exams I didn't feel so dead and went to Cabramatta to get my hair cut! Nothing much changed just my hair is more layered and the dead/split ends are cut off. I'm too terrified for change now.... Was at the hair dressers until 7pm although my exam finished at 12! There was a huge line and understaffed. (I shopped around for a bit and then waited ages, Luckily I saw Fiona and we chatted for ages the line was huge, she was getting her hair straightened.)

Today!
First day of holidays! Slept last night at 2am (dunno how I was able to after only 3hrs of sleep every night -.-) as I was watching Boys Over Flower on my laptop in bed.

Woke up this morning by S at 11am from a message but stayed in bed until 1am! (I think I fell asleep though cuz I don't remember it being that long...) Watched some more drama on my laptop before finally getting up. Since I was early (before I was suppose to go out) I put make up on =) Weee I haven't felt decent in many many days with exams...

Last night I put a green face mask cream on and then a face mask tissue on and a shower cap and I didn't want to get the stuff on my hair that was just straightened! I looked scary XD Showed it to D and he said I still looked pretty XDDD This morning like 90% of my pimples disappeared including a big red one =) and my skin was so nice I was stroking my face while I was in bed... >.>

Went out by 3pm and waited at the bus stop for 20mins cuz I misread the timetable -.-

After I was there for a minute or two this girl comes along and sits down next to me. She was quite pretty like she had black hair like The Veronicas. Where there's more volume at the top and very long at the bottom but layered. She had a cake of make up on too. She played with her phone mostly but looked up at the street from time to time.

In the span of less than 20mins 8 cars beeped as they went past. I am guessing 99% of them were at her cuz I wasn't even looking up for the first 10mins XD. EIGHT cars.... 1 shouted out the window. After the first 8 cars I started to look up as well to see if I can tell who they're beeping at XDDD One guy smiled at me and another waved XD The beeps can't tell cuz they drive too fast to see -.- But pfft sif I could attract 8cars. Damn pretty people....



Anyway it wasn't that cold today (during exam times I wore like 4 layers cuz got up so early in the morning)

My cardigan shrank in the wash -.- I put it into spin cycle to dry it a bit before hanging out the wash and it shrank! It's my cousins =)


Do my eyes look bigger!!???


Finally got a chance to wear my ebay wedges out of the house today $11.04 including shipping! ($1.04 without!). They're 10cm high on the back and 2cm on the front. Quite comfy! Ignore my fat leg >.> I'm not a fan of the colour much but they're T bar (something I've been looking for) and wedges! Bu they're quite comfortable and deceivingly light =) More comfortable than heels half the size that aren't wedges.

I totally fell though at home when I was running way too fast down the stairs... I forgot it takes shorter distance to go down a step in higher heels than no heels.. and fell down 3 steps -.- It was okay after that fall though XD

Oh yeh I went to meet my bf since I haven't seen him in 3weeks cuz of exams =(. We went after his work and walked around Westfields for a while looking for his games and my sister's birthday present. After we went to Toscanis to eat dinner.



His Chicken risotto. I think S, Josh and I once had risotto too and the chicken one didnt look like this =\ But this was quite nice.


I was craving steak so I got this rump steak with mushroom sauce and veges for $19.95. I am not a fan of uncooked meat so I chose well done but the boy kept telling me off and saying I will get a hard chewy piece of crap steak T_T so I went and changed it and it was red inside T_T luckily the sauce and dim lights masked up the colour so I was less afraid of eating it XD It was so yummy though! Omg best value Toscanis thing ever!


Table 31!

The boy got a proper printed plastic badge today for work and he was so happy XD Not one of those print name on a sheet of paper and insert in. It was a proper badge with the letters printed onto a plastic and in colour as well!

Afterwards we went to Max Brenner (cuz I crave) for a drink.


Table 36!


We boht wanted the Peanut Butter Iced Chockie and it was so delish. A little lacking in peanut butter but it was pretty good =)


The peanut butter flavour may have been masked by this little chocolate lick I got cuz I craved Max Brenner chocolate XD. Yum yum!


Boy looks so happy here =)



I drew a smiley =)


I missed you baby =) (OMG WRINKLES ON MY HEAD!!??)

Afterwards we were pretty stuffed and a bit sick of choclate. We couldnt even finish the drink -.- It was a few minutes before 7 then and D had a bus at 7 or he could take the one in an hour at 8 and i had one at 7:30.

Guess whether he chose to have me wait 30mins or have him wait 30mins T_T?

So does anyone else have really really boring lecturers on really interesting subjects? I had 8am molecular biology and genetics lectures with a typical old professor lecturer dude. It was so early and his voice was so boring I ALWAYS fell asleep in his lectures. I don't even know why I bothered to wake up for them -.-.

Anyway I'm studying now and relistening to his audio cuz his subject is on stem cells and other stuff I wont bother explaining that are recent and aren't in textbooks.

While listening I learnt this: Did you know to make transgenic animals they perform vasectomies on many male mice O_O. Poor poor things. Did you also know that every single time a female mice mates it thinks it's pregnant XD. So how does this all fit together. Well they get sterile male mice and make it "mate" with the female mice who starts making sure it's ovaries and such stuff in its uterus are ready for the baby it thinks it's having. Now scientists need those perfect conditions to implant eggs into the mice to make it produce more mice that express different genes yadayada etc. An the only way to do that is to have sterile male mice make the female mice "pseudo pregnant"

Haha I find it so funny a yet sad >.> I wonder who does these vasectomies...


"It's too big, it's too wide
It's too strong, it won't fit
It's too much, it's too tough
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up"
Tralalala!

Love,

M.

I wonder if anyone wants stuff like this >_> Would I even be able to sell it on ebay? Otherwise I'll just have to sell it for 99c and see. Shipping is gonna cost more than the item itself.

Give me a holler if anyone wants anything.

I blame Midori for my current obsession with eBay. I log on every day, along with getting on Facebook to play Restaurant City, to look at the items I am watching and find cheap thrills that I might want to buy.

Yet for some reason, I still feel too lazy to do anything about my wardrobe. When it's time to clear it out I used to be so enthusiastic but now, nothing. In fact, I kinda dread it. I look at eBay because it doesn't require physical work. I can browse with a click of a button rather than the clink of hangers. I wonder if this is how most women feel when they are married with kids and stop worrying about their appearance; obviously they have more important things to worry about.

I am neither married nor have kids!!!

So what is wrong with me?!?

Someone PLEASE invite me out for lunch or something and keep my mind on the more material things in life. I am too young to settle down! At the risk of spending money, I would rather be bankrupt and dip into my emergency funds than be matronly!

I am thoroughly abusing exclamation marks it seems.

BUT I AM STRESSED OKAY?! And it has nothing to do with exams.

Oh what has my life become :(
