food coma

in the past week... i've done nothing but paint my nails and bake..

home made manhattan cheesecake

and soy bean cookies... one sweet and one savoury :D

so... in light of all the baking i've been doing.. i thought i'd try...

my very first attempt at cupcake nails ^_^

i probably should have used a different color for the cake.. cause it blends in with my natural nail color... (seemed like a good idea at the time) but.. i'm quite pleased with how it turned out :)

going to Hamelin Bay this weekend with the other half. very keen and excited. finally able to get out and do something other than job searching or housewife shit. hahahahahaha

bored shitless... and still have yet to accomplish anything

another day at home.. still unemployed. (the idea of finding work as soon as i got to Perth is seeming more and more ridiculous now... no idea how we're going to pay for this wedding now...)

been doing mindless things at home.. spending time with the fiancé and spamming my resume online to retail and admin jobs.

sadly enough.. the whole idea was for us to plan the wedding and what not when i got here.. but low and behold... we have accomplished nothing. not to mention his parents still don't know about everything.. so still.. i have to hide the ring.. and only wear it when he and i go out.. which is pretty sad.

but on a lighter note.. i had dinner with Emma on saturday...

steak and lamb chop BBQ :)

 and finally tried on my potato sack.. and i am super excited to say.. that the sucker actually turned out really nice. i was so paranoid that it'd be tragic looking because when i went to the bridal store with the fiancé and the lady showed me what taffeta looked like.. and i thought it was going to cry.. it made me think of trackies... thank goodness it wasn't the issue for my potato sack!

it obviously needs to be dry cleaned.. and word on the street is that it can cost up to $500 for wedding dresses! (what the shit) seriously.. this whole mark up bullshit just because it's a wedding is getting really annoying and incredibly discriminative. to think that for this bag to be steamed.. it's going to cost more than the bag itself. ridiculous.
well... i'm obviously going to shop around and maybe even buy my own steam iron.. considering they sell for about $60 on sale at Target.. (they're crazy if they think i'm going to spend half a grand to have someone wave steam over it.)

one thing i did.. gain or.. lose depending on how you want to look at it... with all this time i have on my hands is.. i finally ventured into marbling!
i've seen hundred of tutorials and nail marbling designs.. all so pretty and intricate. and i've been wanting to try for a while now.. was just never bothered. and let me tell you.. it looks much easier in the video than what it really is trying it...

round one...

IT LOOKED SO MUCH EASIER IN THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS! *cries*

round two...

seriously... it was such a mission to do.. i don't know how people do the flowers and all the other crazy shit...

ending product...

it doesn't look too bad... but.. compared to other designs i've seen.. it just looks a mess... :(

when in perth...

so... seeing as i live in asia town back in sydney... which means asian foods are plenty.. especially vietnamese and chinese foods... what do i eat when i come to perth?!

... more asian foods =="

crispy chicken with fried rice and chill garlic fish sauce lunch with his parents while he's at work :P

nails for the day.. free hand pink french tips with glitter :)

--still waiting for the boy to come home from work.. probably lure him into going late night shopping tonight.

greetings from perth!

exams are finally done. got to perth this morning. and already home sick. i don't know how i'm going to survive 4 months here.

had lunch with the bff after my last exam on tuesday

roamed the mall a little before she had to go work and i headed home to pack some last minute shit.

--how he expects me to pack 20kgs of my life into one suitcase.. is beyond me. but i guess that just gives me an excuse to make him buy me new clothes when an occasion arises. teeheehee*


didn't do too much today... we went to a shopping center so i could get some girly things.. (nail polish remover and cotton balls.. hahahhhaha) then had dinner with his whole family at Hog's Breath Cafe in Northbridge.

i'm totally studying...

--my failed attempt at Mickey Mouse nails

looks so sloppy and uneven hahaha. only lasted about.. 15 minutes till i decided to take it off and change my nail polish again. and yes.. i should still be studying because i have one more exam left.
so sue me. i don't think i can continue to read my notes and textbooks and examples and symptoms of mental disorders anymore..

Guten Abend!

celebratory bier with the dad at Löwenbräu Keller after my exam ^_^

i think it was the first time in about 20 years since my parents have been in the city. in honesty.. not much has changed.. just the crowd seems to get more and more asian looking hahaha. but it was very nice to be out with my parents. we just walked around circular quay and headed over for a beer. first beer i've ever had with my dad and he was champ enough to let me have a 500mL. like a boss.

and mom bought me a pair of aviators :D


--been.. on edge past couple of days. things have been really crazy for him at work. and i'm up to my ears with exams and last minute assessments. little fights here and there.. again. but i'm just so not fcuked to argue with him anymore. not that i'm being insensitive to his feelings.. i just really don't have any energy in me to fight with him. and most of the time i don't even know what we're arguing about. i just know that i'm angry at him.. it's ridiculous. but. only a couple days left now.

*antsy*

lunch with le cousin

i spy steak :)


--gave the Garnier BB cream a try this morning. it was actually pretty good. although my cheeks were a little itchy.. i'm guessing it was because my skin was dry and made it irritable.
the next day i moisturised my face before applying the BB cream and it worked wonders. great coverage lasting the entire day through exam stress.
