winter-break

 Great start to term two holidays! Yesterday went out with the parents to go see some houses. One in which mum and I really adore. It's a house which has a beautiful French Farmhouse style. I especially liked the feel it gives you, as if you were in walking into Europe... Anyways, after that, we finally went to Rochelle Adonis! It's a café on Brisbane Street, Northbridge. We had lunch there and it was delicious! The hot chocolate was so good and it even came with some yummy handmade marshmallows! There were macaroons too! Next time I should have taken some photos secretly!

As we were driving back, we stopped by the supermarket to go buy some groceries. I also decided to make Tiramisu! Even the guy who works there guessed it! hahahhaha.

Used the Complete Perfect Recipes book by David Herbert, to make this lovely dessert.

daddy, with his cold espresso. hahaha.

this smells so good.

Had to leave the Tiramisu in the fridge overnight so for the mean time, we went to watch the World Cup. So happy Germany won. WOO!

Olive came over today and we did a photoshoot. Why? Because she was accepted into Lookbook! Now everyone congratulate her! ahahhaa. I don't think I should post up any photos but oh well...

After that we just went to the city to do a bit of shopping. Sadly, we didn't find anything except for some books. hahaha. Shopping became a bit boring -which is really rare- and we decided to eat the Tiramisu I made! Had to walk for a looooonnnggg time. But it paid off because the Tiramisu was a success! Yay!

Two of the photos, hehehe...

aagggghh!

Haven't blogged for a really, really, REALLYYY long time. I just suddenly lost the motivation, you know? School can make you so stressed you just can't be bothered doing anything anymore! Can't even imagine what next year will be like. AAHHH. But I'm so glad that the holidays are going to start in a few days! And all those lucky people who started their holidays early, ahem, SHERLYNN & KIM?! You lucky $!&@()# Especially you Kim, going to PARIS?! hahaha. Just kidding, you two have fun!

Now I'm just craving Oreos.


or maybe some Ladurée macaroons. They look so delicious.


And did I mention? Last week, my 18 relatives from Singapore came to visit! Yes that's right, 18 people! That makes, 23 people living under one tiny roof?! hahaha. But it was fun, having so many relatives in the same room -especially dinner time!- made it so warm you didn't even need heating, even though it's winter! Dinner was really crazy every night, there was so much food, it was like an all-you-can-eat! Midnight movies with honeyed-microwave-popcorn was the best. Really wished they could have stayed longer though, but at least I have lots of happy memories! AND, I found out one of my cousins ate at Ladurée! Ahhhh, I'm so jealous! But he did say he was planning to go for another Euro-trip at the end of the year and he might be able to take me along! Fingers-crossed that it will happen!

ONE MORE THING! Lauren, the really-awesome-girl-who-is-so-funny, bought me LULA! She found it it some little post office near her house! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! (It's the same issue as the picture from my old post!) LOVE IT SO MUCH! ♥ ♥ ♥

birthday girlss!

Celebrated me and Lauren's birthday party on Saturday! Woohoo! It was fun and there were quite a number of people there. Served tacos, sushi, spring rolls, chicken wings, chips, lollies and heaps of drinks! Lauren even took the time to label each cup and what made it so awesome is that she even personalised it to how she knew each guest! There were also spare cups which had noses on them! I'll show you more photos when my internet is faster. I should have taken a photo of each one but I was too busy running around!
We talked, had fun and whacked the piñata! It was so fun and there were so much candy in it! Everyone had to spin around give times while being blindfolded and then had three attempts at breaking it open! It was really fun and the candy was awesome!

Oddly enough, I was able to find the exact piñata online! Maybe it's a very common one sold in Perth.

We also had a massive silly string war which was very messy and stuck to your clothes! Astri had heaps of it stuck in her hair and the colours blended very well with the piñata!

My favourite bit of the party was when played Hide-and-Seek! It was night time and we tried to turn off most of the lights in the house. There were two people who were the 'Seekers' and the rest of us had to hide. It was quite scary as it became eerily quiet at times but it was all okay when you found more people to help you out! One moment which will probably stay in my memory forever was when Sarah, Sherlynn, Carryne, John and I went to hide out in the shed! It was a really good hiding spot as no one ever thought of looking inside. I'm pretty sure we probably stayed in there for about 10 minutes and in that 10 minutes, many people thought that some of us had already left the party! But you know what? I think that inside the shed, you get the giggles because I.COULD.NOT.STOP.LAUGHING. Or giggling for that matter. Sherlynn kept having to shut me up -which meant slapping me in the face- and of course, it didn't work. It only caused me to laugh uncontrollably! We also played a horror sound -I personally didn't think it was one bit scary- but the others did. Eventually we had to come out as no one could find us and they were giving up hope. They were all so surprised to see us there as they didn't think we were there anymore!

We danced and chatted for the rest of the night and it was good. Oh and did I mention? The birthday cake was a 3-D TOTORO!

Super cute right? ♥

when you're fifteen

WOOHOO! On Monday I was officially 15!! It was me and Mum's birthday -yes, we have the same birth date- and we cooked dinner for everyone! I know that you'd probably be wondering, wait, shouldn't the rest of your family do the cooking? Well, my mum and I just loveee cooking so we made everyone Tom Yam Soup! It was good but it was so spicy! Made my lips swell for about 5 minutes. In a way, it made me seem like I had an extremely big mouth when in reality, my mouth is very small. (Even my dentist says so!)

I'm really excited for this weekend because it's going to be me and Lauren's birthday party! I know that it's a week late but that's because she wasn't able to do it last Saturday. So we're having it this weekend!! YAY!

love/hate

This week has been a love/hate week. A love week because on Wednesday there was a half day but a hate week because I found out that Tokio Hotel was performing in Singapore while I was stuck here, in Perth. Not saying that there is anything wrong with Perth but it's just the fact that Tokio Hotel performed in the Audi Fashion Festival, Singapore!!!! And at the Audi Fashion Festival, DSquared had a fashion show there -I loveeee their clothes, esp the Spring/Summer '10 collection!- and the band performed Automatic and Phantomrider -my favourite!- acoustic version. Oh and, did I mention? MY AUNTY WAS INVITED TO THAT SHOW. ARGH! Tell you the whole story...

My Aunty was happily shopping in Germany when she received a phone call. The phone call was about the upcoming fashion festival that was going to be held in Singapore. It was the Audi Fashion Festival. However, because of all the ash from the volcanic eruption, all flights going out of Europe was cancelled. And because of this, she declined the invitation.

SHE DECLINED IT. NOO! Oh well, at least she's back in Singapore now. Anyway, I'm still really sad that Tokio Hotel performed in Singapore and that I was not able to go. Maybe next time. (I hope they're going in December because I'm going to be there! Muahhahahaha)

On Monday, it was Anzac Day holiday. I went over to Lauren's house to help out with the upcoming dance performance. We ate Nando's and then Lauren made passion fruit sorbet. It was so sweet! She made the sorbet using a new machine they bought and it looked really interesting -I told my mum to buy it, but I don't think she will- and its functions include a blender, food processor and scales. It was really cool. Well anyway, we had to iron on numbers onto shirts that they bought because it was part of the costume for the dance. However, while I was ironing one of the shirts, I didn't see the iron and I banged my arm into it! OUCHHHHH! It was really hot and I still have the scar. Luckily it's healing. (I took a photo but I'm currently and my cousin's house so I won't be able to upload it.) But the shirt turned out alright! Then I just took a video of their dance and did more stuff later on.

On Wednesday, it was a half-day. WOOHOO! Me, Astri and Sarah went to Leederville straight after school. We met up with Astri's older sister and her friend too. We went to eat at Just Burger and omg, it's so good! Seriously! If you have not tried it, you must! I mean, YOU MUST, MUST, MUST try it! I ordered a cheeseburger and Sarah and Astri ordered a chicken Burger. After finishing that delicious lunch, we took a look at some of the shops around there. They were independent cloth shops and there was some awesome stuff in there! Bad thing was, it was way out of our budgets! After that, we went to walked to a retro cafe which had lots of paper lamps hanging and the whole wall was filled with posters! I especially liked the massive Big Day Out poster from 1993 -at least I think it's from that year!-. Then we just went to the city. We kept missing all the buses so we had to keep on running for it! It was definitely our exercise for the day. HAHAHA. Oh and, I bought a snood. HOORAY!

Last night my family celebrated me and my mum's birthday! We went out to eat at Ciao Italia and it was yuuummmmmmmmmmmmm!! Ate so much hahaha. We ordered pizza, pesto mussels, fettuccine, calamari, ravioli and of course, TIRAMISU! The Tiramisu is the best. Now I feel like eating it hehehe. Did I mention? It was Lauren's birthday yesterday! She's so old! hahahahha.

ME AND MY MUM'S BIRTHDAY TOMORROW! :D

we ♥ vintage

At the We ♥ Vintage market yesterday afternoon. It was held in The Flying Scotsman, Mt. Lawley. It's a new market and is going to be held monthly. Jasmine, Sarah, Olivia and I went and it was my first time in Mt. Lawley.

Sarah and I looking for the perfect piece to add to our wadrobe (:
(My hair is nearly as long as hers! WOOHOO!)

Jasmine really wanted this hat but unfortunately, she didn't. ):

Awesome tv!

Thanks Jasmine for the photos! I'll post up more photos later from the video Jasmine made (:

We walked around after and Olivia was debating whether she wanted to buy these hobo gloves from Planet but it was a huge rip-off so she didn't.

We also went into Store and looked at all the awesome bits and bobs inside. It was so awesome and it's bigger than the one in Fremantle.

I just found out from my dad that the computer that crashed is not able to recover all the files. It's depressing thinking that all my pictures which I have taken are lost. Forever. I shouldn't have procrastinated when wanting to post up all those photos, such as the ones with friends and at the Lady Gaga concert. Oh well, no point getting all sulky about it.

On Saturday Sarah, Jasmine, Astri and I went to Olivia's house. It was a sleepover but Astri was not able to sleepover. However, surprisingly, Jasmine was allowed to! I don't know how but she was allowed! Probably her first ever with actual consent from her parents. hahaha. We played Cooking Mama, Band Hero and Singstar. My favourite was Cooking Mama but I got sick of it after a while. Later we were a bored so we went into the fridge. That was when we realised there were about 30 pomegranates in the fridge! It was crazy! Olivia offered to cut it for us and we just said YES! Thing is, no one knew how to eat it! But we eventually figured it out and it was so, different! After managing to eat most of the pomegranate we watched 50 First Dates. It's one of my all-time favourite and it was sweet! Astri left when the movie ended and so we -mostly I- decided to watch a Thai horror movie that I brought along! Sadly, we stopped 20 minutes into the show because Jasmine, Sarah and Olivia were to chicken to watch it. hahahha. We later watched Cinderella Story and all of us were shocked to find out that Sarah had never ever watched it! We did many other random things later on but you should just check out Sarah's blog, www.colourmesarah.blogspot.com, to find out the details.

Yesterday I went shopping with Kim, Felicia, Ji-Won, Maria and Yoona. They were shopping for their dance outfits but I just tagged along. (I'm not in the dance haha). Firstly we shopped around Harbour Town and I never knew that some of the shops even existed there! Later we just shopped in the city but I didn't find anything that I wanted.

Today was the first day of Term 2 and there was just so much to talk about! And just then Sarah sent me the most hottest Tumblr ever. Literally. I'll just post up my favourite. Teehee!

whytheyrehot.com

Why He's Hot:

1. Let’s get the obvious out of the way — this girlyman is not handsome. He is fucking beautiful, divine, heavenly, whatever you want to call it, and heart-achingly so. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Bill motherfucking Kaulitz, and he can do whatever the fuck he wants and always look fabulous doing it.
2. He’s in a band with his twin brother, and he sings. Not only that, he did some modeling not too long ago.
3. Not only do millions of girls worldwide lust after this German hottie, some men do as well. Even Adam Lambert thinks he’s gorgeous.
4. He has pouty lips that are just begging to be chewed on. Don’t even pretend that you don’t want those lips all over your body and some other places. He also has cheekbones and a jawline that could cut glass, a tongue piercing a smile that is the sun shining through the grey skies on a cloudy day and lastly, a fucking sexy tattoo.
5. Now when he hits the stage, oh hell. You can forget about him being feminine, he turns into a GOD. He has all the right poses and he can dance, damnit. There is 6 feet of sex in this 20-year-old body and I bet you just want him strapped to your bed.

Just have to agree with all this. Don't you think? ♥
