so long

I think it's been 2 months or more since the last time I signed into here. Feels as though I had my whole world turned upside down in an hourglass and then tipped back the right way.. and then occasionally it just tips back upside down again.

I really do comprehend the meaning of "you don't know what you've got till it's gone" now. I did before and then it slipped.. but now, it's reinforced so clearly; and not a day has gone by where I don't think about what I've got - the most generous family and friends I could ever ask for. But, I don't think a public blog is an appropriate place to explain why I've felt this way and just completely unmotivated to blog :(

Anyways, on the brighter side. I've finished exams and on an amazing 4 month holiday. Definitely will be filling it up with 3-4 part time jobs. Made a 'quick' list of necessities to have before 2010 hits and I have not had time to mess with the camera lately >:(

I gave my grandma 2 blazers I wanted to get tailored - one being a neutral-coloured waterfall blazer (Country Road) and a lacey one with a satin collar and sharp shoulders but I can't remember where it's from :( ok bedtimee. Adios amigos!

P.s Marc Jacobs or Michael Kors watches? They're both sooo pretty! I'm eyeing a few from Shopbop, Saks and Net-a-porter and there were a few from Macy's that I liked but I'd have to use a forwarding shipping service which is extra $30-$40.. not sure if it's worth it for just a watch :S

Now I'm that bitch.

Made good use of my Sunday afternoon taking photos with my baby cousin - Linda. Lighting was exceptional. I've never seen such excelleeeeeent lighting - I'm in love.
Assessments and exam period (I actually don't have mid-sems this semester) so I'll be blog neglecting again yaaay.

14months is tomorrow. Bf's birthday and mum's birthday very very soon. Stereosonic very soon. Can't go DEFQON1 anymore. Friday night was spent @ World Bar, Kings Cross (again!) for Lauren's 19th :) First time up in chatswood for pre drinks - mm daquiris! Chuck photos in next entry.. oh and btw to Ren, I use a 450D with 17-85mm lens usually but this time I used wide lens so its a 24-70mm :)

Vtg Levi shorts, AgentNinetyNine burnout tee, mum's boots!

Flipsydee

I've jumped on the crazy hair photo bandwagon haha :) It took like 12937 attempts to pick a decent looking one where I didn't come off as looking psycho/stupid. So anyways, last Friday, I slept at 9am for the first time in 9123790 years and the friday before that.. my cousins' 21st @ The Vault which was funny because everywhere you looked, you'd see a spartan with white robes or a fake plastic chest lol.

And to "lily" who posted before, sorry I won't ever do a makeup post :( i really suck at it but basically I just used black & silver eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascaraa :)

Shorts: vintage Levis, lace leotard: Forcast, multi-chain necklace: Portmans, bracelet: Diva, rings: Ice, crazy hair: hahah.

canary yellow..

I'm not jealous of Alexa Chung at all.. hardly.. :(

So Friday night at the X was.. eventful, so to speak. 700ml of Kirov Vodka with 40% alcohol content between 4 girls in under an hour.. never. ever. again. It was a good night though; club-hopping from SOHO to Dragonfly. Music was dissapointing that night. But damn, it was one of the warmest nights ever! I haven't felt a warm breeze for so long! :( My jacket was useless and unwanted!

I also, unknowingly, bashed my toe into something.. saw the nail bleeding in the morning haha stupid heels. I love my sequin mini but hehe.. only because I'm a magpie who's attracted to shiny things now. So here's my night:

Test Shots

Some shots I took myself with the usual 17-85mm and Lauren finally found me the jumper I've wanted from Sportsgirl :D The orange and black turned up really well. Excuse the mega flash lol thought it was funny to post a photo of myself getting blinded.

Workload from uni is putting pressure on me badly. I have no incentive to study ahead like I promised I would :( But, I want that damn credit average at least. I think Spring is arriving early in Australia this year .. bushfire season is due soon too.

Can't wait to hit King's Cross on Friday night with the unigirls. Neglected partying for so long.. OH and Emma Watson for Burberry09. She's fucking amazing.

Once a week..

Vow to stay true to my blog and blog minimum once a week. So, since Friday 31st of July.

• Last Saturday was spent my uni girls raiding Surry Hills Markets and to our dissapointment, found nothing besides Lauren finding some hawt jewellery. Lunch at the Surry Hills Bar. Cried a river in Jodi Picoult's novel-based movie - "My Sister's Keeper" @ Market City. Dinner with baby @ "Pepper Lunch" on George St and skipped IMAX because of the neverending-almost-touching-the-wharf line.
  
  
  
  
  

• Sunday was spent doing my homework, pigging out at Tommy's little niece's 4th birthday and the back home to "study". Didn't get far since I got called a "dog" for ditching a friend's 19th dinner. Guilty conscience led me to a strip club in King's Cross called "Porkys". Hassled the boys + girl (Jennyfoo, Tommy, Kim, Porno, Ian, Steven, Leo, Eric & Peter) about their opinions on the girls and ditto - unimpressive. SO not energetic besides about 2 girls (not that I'm asking for more lol)
  
  

• Monday - almost missed my train to uni because of an "unproductively late" night. However, karma bit me in the arse and I slept on the train back (I had a 9am-6pm day!) and ended up in Glenfield. Ugh! Took me 2.5hours to get home in total. Angry!
  
  

• Friday was spent at uni in the morning. Watched "Ghost of my girlfriend's past" which was prettyy good! And, headed to SOHO @ King's Cross for the final "Ruthless" event. Missed out on $5 drinks and again, with the same strip-club boys & jenfoo. Can't wait to go there again for the musiccc.

• And finally, today was breakfast @ Yum Cha with him and replacing my lost sunnies :( oh yeah bought lotsa lollies.
  

• Finally found suede, pointy flats. I'm a happy child *minus getting barred from eBay..
  

wassup wassup.

Yesss, blog abandonment: 16 days! Oops. I started uni again which sucks ass and I have the crappest selection of tutors/lecturers as they are incredibly hard to sit there and decipher at 9am in the morning! I could probably learn more with 3 songs playing at once and a book open.

Aside from discovering the wonders of gaussian blur on photoshop on my screen-cracking face (hence, below), I've managed to waste about $300 on textbooks this semester. I vow to be exceptionally faithful to my textbooks and note-keeping this semester. Already started making notes - am I keen or what! Wasting money of useful pieces of cheap labour- that I could probably make myself - as usual (clothes). Also learnt that Australia is NOT in a recession. I repeat, NOT in a recession. We are a steadily growing economy with no rapid boom periods thus no major recession periods! Go the aussies.

**OMG. I've also concluded I'm accumulated debt (to sisters lol!) so I need a job! So, I applied for a "Sales and Marketing Assistant" position for Kaseya! Had the interview today and I guess fingers crossed for this $25/hour job. I need it for the dosh and experience in the marketing fields I guess. Even 2 weeks of 20 hour shifts will do.

Oh, and tell me about this bike shorts thing. Yay or nay? I'm leaning on yay.. lace and mesh bike shorts mmm .. I can already picture my Parklife festival outfit.

Before I head of to "study", just wondering how any blog readers or anyone gets clothes from "Urban Outfitters" ? I've checked vogue forums, google and omg I desperately want 19273412 things from there. All mail forwarding sites have been shut down or something or their incredibly expensive (pricier than the item itself!). Well, if anyone can help me forward some mail from the US (with whatever you want to charge me!), I'd be sooooo grateful. Thankyou :)

ONE YEAR OF LOVE

So, Tommy & I finally reached one year together! It was definitely a journey I shan't ever regret. My longest relationship so I'm uber proud. He was just a keeper! I love you, hunniebear :)

Edit: Jacket:Forcast $40, Shorts: Supre $30, Top: outside Liverpool $30, Shoes: Nu by Neo $149.95, Chain weave bracelet and rings from Diva!
