Sunday, December 15, 2013 - [xmas gift-wrapping ]
Today we'll take a look at what arrived in the mail :D
Nah, kidding, I can't show you ): they're the christmas presents I ordered, as much as I would like to show you all the ahmoiiizzing gifts I found, I guess I can't show them until Christmas itself ): hang in there guys only 10 days away~
So that giant box contained this
whut? Such a huge box for this?
There was actually another item in there but it broke because they sent 6 little items in such a massive box without stuffing it or wrapping any thing in bubble wrap, except the most sturdy item which is metal and least likely to break. Logic.
Welpp.. the 24hour customer service has kindly shipped a brand new item even though only part of it was damaged, I get a whole new one! Yay! This website is actually really good, love their service! Will divulge next time.
(Yesterday) Fueled up on $1 Frozen Fanta and $2 XL Frozen Coke from Hungry Jacks and time for some gift-wrapping!
Some how my wrapping skills must have deteriorated over time .. the first gift I wrapped was in a box-shape. ._. but in my defense I was using shitty foil paper, NEVER AGAIN.
As you can see my attempt at making some folded pattern failed and I had to undo it. D:
and the back is no better.. -______- gad I hate foil
It looked so bad I tried to remedy it with some ribbons
Red and Gold because that's our Christmas tree theme at home. But it kinda looks terrible together. Sorreh Neil ):
Present 2 was in a cylindrical box, so .. I guess I did a better job of it because it is harder to wrap a round object anyway.
The base is still awful awful awful. Sorreh Kiara D:
Huzzahh ! Our xmas tree has presents underneath it now! :D
(Neil said he bought mine today YAY!)
Time to move on to the Bowmans' prezzies but horror of horrors! I was conned by K-Mart! It's clear cello not Silver Wrapping ! D: Had to get silver because (Read Here! -- Bowman Xmas Deco)
Went out again and got a Pearl-coloured wrapping paper, close enough! and NON-FOIL!
My gift-wrapping skills suddenly became superior today! First one for Kate and Chris :3 (Zac's sister and bro-in-law)
Suuuuggoooiiiii ~ Look at dem tight corners
Then for Zac's papa
Then for Zeeeeek, lubbu of my laifu, my honeydarlinggguuuuu ♥♥♥
Don't know why all the gifts are box-shaped already :o Lucky me!
One more prezzie to go when it arrives that is :o
I think I need to watch some tutorials before wrapping next time T_T

Friday, December 13, 2013 - [more things new. ]
Hello Hello Moshi Moshi Ciao Ciao
Pardon me, this song is far too addictive :3 You should listen to it while you read the post :D
Today me and Zac found coupons in the mail to get 2 Foot-Long Subs at the Subway just 2 minutes from our home for $14.50 and our trip to Subway ended up being a 5-hour shopping trip at Chermside. :3
Tho we browsed many shops we really only bought stuff from
Daiso is the best place everrr ! First of all everything is $2.80, (only for Australia) some of the stuff in there are probably worth more. Everything you see is available in 5 other colours, just look how colourful the shop is ! :3 The Daiso stores in Singapore are really cramped with narrow aisles but the ones in Brizzy are pretty spacious and have clear aisle labels even though all the products still have their Japaneses labels and Japanese instructions. As you know Japan invents some really unnecessary and very special products like ..
So be a cautious shopper because the items might not be what you think they're for and the instructions are sometimes a bit deceiving. Alrighty Item #1 out of 11 : Lunchbox
Except this container's lid doesn't click shut so it would slide off at the slightest bump on the road and spill everywhere if I don't tie it up with a teatowel and Zac will kill me
I was searching for the multiple compartment kind but I couldn't find any, ohwell ~
I'm pretty sure this is worth $5 at a supermarket but $2.80 from Daiso?! JACKPOT ! :3 one of favourite snacks since the beginning of time, very bad for you, don't eat it, unless you're wonder woman like me
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Item #3 : Wonder Woman Freezer Mug (Not from Daiso) I really like freezer mugs, they're just such a great invention (': things like these make the world a better place
Item #4 and #5: Sauce or Dip tray & Soup spoon
Back to Daiso, besides a blend of chilli I don't really know how to make dips or sauces yet tho, guess I won't be using that so much, so why did I buy it ... ?
Zac picked it up and said "aww so cute" . THAT'S WHY !
Also got himself a soup spoon because I only have one and Zac likes to drink soup alot ^^ . That sticker pisses me off. It needs to die.
I don't know.... people need clothes right! D: I'll just sew some lacy lingerie with it :x JK I might use it to decorate presents of something. You never know when you need some lace.
#7 : Tall cups, because Zac just drinks sooooooo much liquid a normal cup isn't big enough. One tall cup isn't enough either! HE NEEDS TWO.
But really.. he drinks alot
#8's a little vegetable basket for me to put my vegetables after I cut and wash them and prepare other ingredients.
#9 : Bunny pattern rice bowls! :DD Never enough rice !
One has a full moon and one's a crescent moon :3 I actually only noticed that when taking the photo. Neat :3
#10: Teatowels :3 then we can go on picnics.
Final item #11: Wet wipes
These are really good to use for pooping! Nah I don't know, I use it after nom-ing KFC :3 and wiping dust off furniture. It's a really thick piece of tissue and cleans stuff well (:
Something big came in the mail today.
Find out tomorrow what it is !

Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - [pleasant october day]
I haven't been keeping my word at all, I haven't been very busy, I just have no mood to write. I have alot of things to say about my life, I just had an unexpected trip to Sydney, just finished filming "Commitment Issues", just volunteered on the news station, reconnected with vicky and wanting... I got mad yesterday and went on a shopping spree.. but I don't know why I wasn't driven to write until today.
Today I went out very randomly.
On Monday night I was thinking so hard about what to eat on Tuesday for dinner, go with Aaron to a sushi buffet? cook something? eat and yuans? eat 9pieces of KFC for $9?
I was so stressed that on Tuesday itself I actually didn't eat dinner. How about that? I had a shopping spree on Tuesday because I was mad about being locked out of the apartment by a certain someone and then I shopped and wasn't hungry the rest of the day.
I was home when a concerned weiyang asked "so what's for dinner?"
I think he felt guilty because I asked him to accompany me but he couldn't so he gave me his entire Wednesday. awww [: where do I wanna go? I wanted to go to Movie World actually, not for the rides, but to finally get the batman hoodie and a new bottle because I lost my first and melted my second. Golly.
So I was feeling a little torn both ways, wanna go to GoldCoast but it's soooo far away and I don't particularly feel like going, but I know eventually I want to .. so no, movie at SouthBank ^-^ . We went to watch Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted! Lighthearted and funny movie, I think I needed that, full of cliches and cheese but it was a cute cheerful movie.
weiyang showed me how to get free drinks at the casino! LOL. After that we met Royston and shopped for their friend's birthday present, but the shop closed before they made a final decision lololol. I went to Typo and bought cute things impulsively.
yay~ for my penpals :D
A card for a certain birthday girl who's birthday is hmmm... in 10 days! :D
another polkadot mug! Because it's so cute :x aww come on, it is so cute :DD
then we went to take the citymeow to UQ to get their car to nomnom @ Malaya Corner. Today was probably the first time I talked, really talked alot to Royston. I previously just knew he was a bartender haha. So today we talked more, about TV dramas, music, his future plans, cooking, xbox games and guns :x hahaha very random topics but it was cool.
I'm glad that we have a few things in common, isn't it always great to find someone new to talk to ? ^-^
Here's what I bought on Tuesday, Idk why my mac doesn't read the other photos, so here's just one ~ two pairs of shorts in two colours because they're cute :3 In my blurness I actually took size 12 for the red one, thank goodness I managed to exchange it today for size 8 phew~
Today was such a simple yet pleasant day. I really liked it. [: am thankful for such nice people in my life.
