sleeping fairy lights

Finally, a post

2010-11-16T16:28:00.004+11:00

Oh my stars. Really cute song.

LISTEN!!

SO, I have one exam left: FRENCH!! It's tomorrow and I can't wait 'till it's over. Then next destination: PARTAY! Woohoo.
My schedule is like packed after exams.. most days are full. :|
So as I said previously, I've been applying for jobs recently... so far, I've gotten rejected and it's mostly due to the fact that I'm going overseas through most of December.
Darn.

Anyways, for now, I've got enough money to support meh from selling my books.
My dad's like, "Hey, why not sell your old stuff on Ebay?" Hm, yeah, sounds good. Why not?

On a good note, I've gotten uni interviews for my 2nd and 3rd preference... YAY. so far, no response from my 1st.

I shall post more often after my last exam :)

xo

2010-10-12T16:22:00.005+11:00

I've figured that I have to be less critical & judgmental of myself and others around me.
I'm not perfect and so is anyone else. No one on this earth is perfect so I HAVE to stop comparing myself to others 'cause that won't benefit me at all.

So, I didn't go to school today... I'm studying for my French oral which is on this coming Friday. I hope it goes well. Fingers crossed. :| Exams coming up! But good thing about them is that it'll be the end of school after. Gooosh I can't wait to get out of this prison of a school. I'm trying out for jobs as well, but I haven't got any replies yet... kinda stuck with the referee section of applications. Doubt any of the managers remember be from Target + I don't really wanna call up cos they freak the hell out of me.

I just really hope I get into one of my top courses at Uni. Also, going to some parts of Asia later this year!! (Malaysia, Thailand & Hong Kong)... so far, gotten bad reviews about Hong Kong. Must remind myself to bring hand sanitiser. :K

Take care xo

BACK!

2010-09-30T15:23:00.002+10:00

Hey so I'm back..
but I won't be posting that much cause of schoool.
I procrastinate anyways, so I don't see the harm in it ahha :D

Anyway, these holidays I haven't been up to much. Haven't even been motivated to study at all!! I've been watching tv shows and movies basically. I watched 'Amelie', 'Roman Holiday' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' as well as my fave tv shows including Vampire Diaries.

Very productive life.

windy day

2010-07-13T16:53:00.008+10:00

I went to the city today with two of my friends. My gosh was it windy! I totally regret wearing a skirt, ahah cos it kept blowing up. We went to St. Kilda and chilled, explored and went high on energy drinks lol. We went to a couple of thrift stores afterwards, and we found these cheap vintage cameras! I bought one for $4 (this old film camera, Polaroid PZ2001). We also got free shampoo with out purchases, lol. Anywho, this is what I wore today:

School starts tomorrow ): Not looking forward to it, but obviously it's gotta start one day or another.

spain won

2010-07-12T14:53:00.005+10:00

Hey guys, I don't really watch soccer but since my dad went for Spain this year, I did too.. ahah - bad excuse I know. In terms of AFL (Australian Football League?), I go for Essendon even though I don't follow football nowadays. I started going for Essendon after my uncle starting going for them.

I'm so glad we have today and tomorrow off school. Today, I had toast with jam and orange juice... yayaya. While I had breakfast, I watched an episode of The Tudors. Has anyone heard of it? It's this TV series about King Henry VIII. I found out about the show in English class as we're studying this play called, A Man For All Seasons. The Tudors is pretty interesting so far, but very slow (there are 4 seasons).

Anyway, I can't wait for season 5 of Skins to come out... I heard the first week of filming is complete but a photo of the cast has not been released yet... I'm dying to see what they look like haha.
Also, I'm waiting on the new season of Vampire Diaries to come out as well.

Check out the best wonton soup ever (it's from Costco):

Oh yeah, I found out I can get my DSLR fixed, just don't know how much it costs yet.
:D

brieffffff

2010-07-11T15:33:00.004+10:00

I still need to do a brief for Visual Communication. I've decided to do like a tee-shirt design for my end of the year thing. There's gonna be like five tees with different designs but with similar elements. :)

I've been into polka dots and these trousers with cuffs at the bottom:

polka dots trousers by cindylovexo featuring Vanessa Bruno pants

OMG.

2010-06-10T23:53:00.003+10:00

OH OH OH OMG.
You know what happened?! I dropped my camera today. Grr, I'm so pissed at myself. Now, the flash is broken..
I have to see if I can get it fixed. Hopefully I can..

New look:

long post

2010-06-04T18:53:00.003+10:00

Hey, I haven't posted in ages. Hm, what has been happening for the past couple of weeks? Oh, I watched Eurovision.. Germany won if some of you didn't know. I really wanted Romania to win, they came third so that's not too bad. I've been listening to Moldova's 'Run away'. It's actually pretty good.

Here is Lena's 'Satellite':

SunStroke Project & Olia Tria's 'Run Away':

By the way, Kylie Minogue is releasing a new album soon! She'll be releasing her first single, 'All The Lovers' pretty soon. I think it's a good song but the video is very explicit (don't even know if this is exaggerated), showing people taking their clothes off until they're only wearing their under garments and yeah.. If you can handle True Blood then I'm pretty sure you can handle this.

So, for my last Business Management SAC, I didn't do well, let's just say. The one I just had was disastrous too but hopefully, I did much better. Fingers crossed. I don't have school next week basically but I have to do a GAT exam on the Thursday. I have to also try and get an interview with a graphic design company, which I'm dreading because I don't like formal phone calls. D:
Next week will be packed, with a formal, birthday party and hopefully, I'll be going vintage clothes shopping.

busy methods.

2010-05-23T12:07:00.002+10:00

Hello peeeps.
I'm soon to read my DSLR's manual so I can actually test out my photography skills to it's full potential :)

METHODS SAC TOMORROW. ONG. Then, French Oral on Tuesday.

D:

Btw, guys, I am officially broke. I have $28 left in my bank from work.
I must now depend on my parents to give me money, which I don't think they're too pleased about... and they'll only give me money for food and other essentials. Anyway, gotta focus on year 12 so I don't think I'll be spending much.

Anyone know ways of stopping procrastination? Really bad procrastination?

xo

if somebody's got soul

2010-05-10T17:15:00.002+10:00

Comfort is best, no?
A Streetcar Named Desire is so weird even though I haven't read the whole thing...
Grr, I'm slightly pissed off right now due to a number of small things... I just want to roll up into a ball.

seventeen

2010-05-02T16:55:00.003+10:00

This song doesn't relate to me anymore, but I still love it.

How does the name Lincoln sound? It's pronounced as "Lin-cun". I'm still deciding. :P

xo

blast!

2010-05-02T14:47:00.003+10:00

Thanks to everyone for making my 18th so memorable & fun :)
I had an awesome time last night (except for the scary train part).
I got a DSLR camera from a bunch of awesome peeps, clothes, a circle scarf I've been wanting for a while, jewelry, a teddy and money. $$$
:D

My beautiful black forest cheesecake <3

My DSLR camera (I'm yet to name it) & I.

zomg screw perfectionism

2010-04-28T17:16:00.002+10:00

SCREW PERFECTIONISM! I had my English Issues Language Analysis SAC today. I'll be happy if I get better than I did last year! My god, I would be.

It's my 18th birthday in like 3-4 days! GAH. Cheesecake <3
I've already got $60 for my birthday.

I really like this song (I uploaded it onto Youtube since all the other versions were live, sorry about the bad quality):

vampire diaries (L)

2010-04-24T01:49:00.001+10:00

This could possibly be my favourite scene of the latest episode of Vampire Diaries. It's a scene of Elena and Damon dancing :)

finally uncapped

2010-04-19T18:19:00.002+10:00

Finally! Now my internet is fast. I survived this since last Thursday.

Anyway, zomg, my birthday is in like 2 weeks. I've decided to have an outing at the city (eat at a restaurant). Plus, I'm gonna get some money finally!
I've been broke for too long. I need my precious $$$.

I can't be stuffed studying for my French SAC today. Did I tell anyone that my tooth was chipped when I accidentally bit my fork T_T? Today, I went to Top Designs for Visual Communication. It was awesome & it definitely inspired me to try my hardest.

PS - I stress too much! I need to relax & take it easy people. :*
I'm going to try to change my negative thoughts into positive thoughts.

lazy zzzz

2010-04-16T22:34:00.004+10:00

Hey guys.
Sorry for the delayed post. Ahah, I've actually been really lazy to be honest. Just had a Maths SAC today. Wasn't too good. I didn't finish it, so that's already like 10 marks gone. D: Two SACs next week. So, hopefully, I'll be studying for them on the weekend unless I get distracted which is likely.

My birthday's coming up & I've decided to have dinner at the city with friends. I haven't planned what restaurant though. AND, I don't know if I'm going to a social afterwards. I only know that I want a cheesecake.

By the way, I have two new looks on Lookbook ^^:

White oversized cardigan (Supre - old)
Striped top (can't remember)
Pink shorts (Valleygirl)
Black and white oxfords (Aldo)

White top (Dotti)
Skirt (Dotti)
Black and white quilted bag (Equip)
Lace-up heels (Dianna Ferrari)

nearly the end of the holidays

2010-04-10T12:09:00.002+10:00

There's only a few days left of the holidays T___T. Must make the most of it now, I guess. I seriously don't have a clue to what I should do for my birthday...

Anyway, I just scanned through random shop sites & fell in love with these items:

Blue clutch from Sportsgirl.

Denim shorts from Bardot.

Black circle scarf from Rubi Shoes.

I actually went to Rubi Shoes but didn't see the scarf, maybe they haven't updated the store just yet.

xo

cleaned out my wardrobe.

2010-04-08T20:09:00.006+10:00

I spent the morning cleaning out my wardrobe. :K It's freaking clean as now!
I've done some homework today as well. I've been watching this TV show, Survivors. It's actually pretty interesting.

Went shopping yesterday, and it's probably the last time in a while. Gotta concentrate on the final year of high school & I'm poor anyway. I purchased a two-toned quilted bag from Equip and a skirt + top from Dotti.

It's my 18th in less than a month. Question: Should I have a party? And how does a picnic sound? I don't even know if the weather will be good. It'll be a let down if it starts raining.

xo

wishlist item #1: camera

2010-04-06T18:28:00.003+10:00

I think I've mentioned that I don't have a camera? I used my dad's. :/
Some inspiring/random pictures, once again:

xo

formal dress

2010-04-05T19:10:00.003+10:00

So, here's my dress that I wore to the formal. Credit to my friend for taking the photo. :) Initially, the dress didn't have the white ribbon, I added it on because it looked 'white-less'.

In relation to my hair, the hairdresser did most of the work (curling and giving it volume) then I just simply tied it back into a bun.

xo

random photos

2010-04-05T13:34:00.003+10:00

It's so sucky that I have shaky hands, so as a result, I suck at holding a camera still. All the photos turn out blurry :| haha.

This was the back of my hair for my formal. I was unsatisfied with the hairdo the hairdresser made with my hair, so I decided to tie it up when I got home. Glad I did.

And these shoesssss are my beloved lace-up heels from Diana Ferrari.

xo

soft shock

2010-04-03T13:13:00.004+11:00

Does anyone know where to find spotted tights? Or any good tights? I need to start stocking in for winter. :K

Tights like these make me feel whimsical in a way.

These shoes are quite nice, but I hardly wear heels.

What do you think of these jeans?

I want this tee.

xo

tomorrow is one month till my birthday

2010-03-31T20:11:00.005+11:00

Almost one more month until my 18th!! It doesn't feel like it. I still have no clue to what I'll do for my party (if I have one).

Since I haven't been buying anything, I've stolen all these pieces of clothing from my mum's wardrobe. The floral blouse is from Target and the rest, I'm not sure.

It's not cold just yet. I really want to wear those huge scarves and jackets. I haven't got a leather jacket, and I've been wanting one for a while... maybe with my birthday money, I may be able to get one.

I have been procrastinating for the past few days. GAH.

xo

be holidays foreverrr

2010-03-29T21:23:00.006+11:00

Holidays are sailing along well so far. SLEEPING IN = the best thing ever. Hopefully, I can get these bags to disappear from under my eyes.
I'm proud that I actually worked out at the gym today seeing as I'm extremely unfit and lazy :) And I shall be going again tomorrow. The weather has been very, very unpredictable lately with it raining and then suddenly beaming sunlight. Make up your mind Melbourne weather! I've completed my Business Management homework. YAYYYERS. However, I don't think I've committed to my do-an-English-Issues-Analysis-everyday scheme.

Anyway, I have a new look. It's quite simple but I guess that's what goes with me.
The top and leggings are from Cotton On, the belt is from my mother's wardrobe & finally, the shoes are from Dianna Ferrari. <3

I've been listening to Adam Lambert's 'Whataya Want From Me'
He was the runner-up of American Idol? I like his voice.

spending the weekend doing good ol' viscom

2010-03-19T17:05:00.001+11:00

I hope I can still eat gluten. :/
2 hours of tutor here I come! YAY...

tegan and sara concert

2010-03-18T20:25:00.001+11:00

I wanted to go Tegan and Sara's concert so bad! They come in May. I was considering going but it's only for over 18's. Ah well, next time. I LOVE their music.

Bigmouth strikes again!

this charming man.

2010-03-17T21:57:00.002+11:00

No school tomorrow! Ecstatic-ness.
Well, today I had my English SAC. I did so-so. I'll be happy with a high.

Went to VIP night at Chaddy but there was nothing there. I bought a large-sized boost and regretted after an hour. Don't think I'll be having it in a while even though it is my new obsession.

I really need a new camera, I don't really care about the brand as long as it takes high-quality photographs and is easy to work with at the same time : )

These are some inspiring photos I've come across:

xo

formal is over.

2010-03-13T13:57:00.002+11:00

It was pretty good, I'd sayyy. The food was okay, better than I thought since people were saying the food would be bad. Pity I couldn't go to the after party but I don't think I had enough energy to go anyway... I felt asleep pretty quickly...
I'm never going to that hairdresser ever again. They did my hair so shit. SHIT SHIT SHIT.
I looked like a lion. ): An ugly lion.

I'm back home and I have heaps to do: clean my room, do the vacuuming and clean the bathroom. Wipee. Fun. Then I have to start my English essay.

xo

wishlist for the poor little me

2010-03-08T22:44:00.003+11:00

I like these items from Dotti, they are simple and fresh.
I haven't worn boyfriend jeans before so it would be interesting if I actually bought a pair.

xo

autumn!

2010-03-07T17:16:00.003+11:00

It's finally Autumn. Although, I did enjoy Summer but now it's time for a change :)
Yesterday, it rained and hailed crazily. I saw the biggest hail stones I've ever seen in my life, some were the size of golf balls! I felt sorry for those who were walking outside at the time.
None of the windows were broken, thankfully. Last night, I went to this Japanese restaurant with my family & the food there was horrible. It's nothing compared to the real Japanese restaurants you can find in the city.

Today, I went to the city again for this project. I'm poor right now as I don't have much savings left, I've spent it all like a shopaholic would.

New lookbook pic:

Grey top, (Dotti $5)
Jewelry (Diva & some other accessory store :))
Black shorts, (Cotton On $10)
Diamond pattern tights (Mum's wardrobe)

I need to go op shopping! I may find some nice things.

FORMALFORMALFORMAL

2010-02-27T17:16:00.008+11:00

Yes, I have found my dress, clutch and shoes. FINALLY.
Not too sure about the clutch. It's white while my dress and shoes are black.

Dress - It's knee-length, black and one-shoulder with flowers on the big strap.
Shoes - Black peep-toe heels with a bow at the front.
Clutch - White and frilly.

I'm hoping to get my hair done like this:

Opinions please?

worrying too much?!

2010-02-21T21:04:00.005+11:00

Ahem, yes that would be me. About everything.
STOP WORRYING SO MUCH, GEEZ.

Sorry for not blogging much.
I shall soon, I think. When I'm less busy from homework and stuff.

:D

chasing pavements...

2010-02-18T22:41:00.003+11:00

I've been listening to Adele's debut album, 19 for a few days now. It's a pretty nice album so if you like calm, soul music then I advise you to listen to it :D

School has kinda settled down, as I've already completed my English oral & Business Management SAC so it's all good so far. I'm just studying for my Maths SAC now. I have to do well! Wish my luck people!

Anyway, tomorrow is Friday. Finally! It's my favourite day of the week now. After school, I'm going to meet my Mum to go dress shopping for my Formal. Yep, still haven't found anything decent. Well, if not, we may have to go on Sunday. Saturday is packed (homework & Chinese New Year Ball). So much to do, so little time, ey?

--

What I'll wear to the Ball?

,,,

2010-02-12T00:04:00.007+11:00

Hey guys,
Sorry for the delayed post. I've been busy with school & I'm stressing like a chicken. I need a stress ball. School + formal = hectic. Everyone's gone crazy over dresses, limmos, partners, tables, etc.
Although I'm excited for the formal, I'm already stressing out about where I'm going to buy my dress and for how much, and where I'm going to do my hair/make-up. My mum is saying that her budget for the dress is $50 - how cheap. I think she's going to consider making it higher at the last moment.
SO, I've been browsing the internet in hope of finding some dresses I like, and I've seen a few but don't know if they're 'formal' enough. I'm kinda depressed since I have no money now. When I left Target, I had about $2000. Now, I only have $200? + my Christmas money & I'll be receiving more for Chinese New Year. I SAW THESE SHOES THAT I LIKE. They are brown sandal wedges?

^- What do you think? Anyway, I'm just dreaming 'cos I'm pretty sure I won't be able to afford them and I'll get another scolding from my mum. Well, I'm off to go to bed! Tired T___T.

xo

schoool = hectic

2010-02-02T19:10:00.009+11:00

Yes, the title says it all.
School is taking up all of my time. HW, HW, HW. It never ends.
It still doesn't feel like Year 12.

The Formal is coming up and I still haven't found my dress or shoes OR partner. Well, I think my friend may have found a candidate.

So, here's my newest look on Lookbook! Check it out here. It was taken at the one and only Squeaky Beach at Wilson's Prom. The cardigan is from Valleygirl, the chain is from Dotti (I took some chains off as it looked too cluttered), the white shirt is from Cotton On and finally, the floral leggings are from Valleygirl.

I found my purple ruler and I'm over the moon! :)

xo

school tomorrow

2010-01-28T23:11:00.004+11:00

School starts tomorrow. What the heck? Since when did school start on a Friday? It's going to be a tough, stressful year. I can't let myself procrastinate or be distracted but that will be hard.

I haven't done much homework. I managed to read one book for English, do a bit of my oral & complete some Maths exercises but that's about it. I've just been doing random shiz all day long and chillaxing on my couch watching TV (mainly the Australian Open).

I have officially turned into a bargain hunter now that I'm broke. GAH.

photos!

2010-01-27T10:45:00.015+11:00

So, here are some photos from Venus Bay.
Enjoy :)

back from venus bay

2010-01-26T18:26:00.002+11:00

I'm back from Venus Bay and boy was it fun :D
I missed the last day of Summer School though. Ah, like last year. Anyway, we basically went to the beach & bush-walking. We stayed at this huge house and I swear, it's haunted. Everything broke like the doors were suddenly not opening or the water not working. I also watched three scary movies? The Haunting of Molly Hartnett (weird), The Lovely Bones, My Bloody Valentine (very, very silly) and Friday the 13th. Anywho, I'll add some photos here later.

BTW, Happy Australia Day!!

addiction to boost?

2010-01-16T17:07:00.004+11:00

Hey peeps.
Yesterday, my friend and I went to Chaddy to find swimsuits. Sadly, we couldn't find any that were decent and were of fair price. Something funny and random happened near the end but I won't go into detail :P It has something to do with a shoe shop called 'HYPE' so go there when you've bought a boost, LOL.

I think I'm addicted to Boost but I can never get sick of it! The drinks are just so refreshing and perfect for when I'm thirsty.
AH. They have heaps of sugar though, which isn't doing any good for me.

So, today I went to Chaddy again with my mum to return a grey tee-shirt dress from Sportsgirl that I didn't really like anymore... then after, we went to Valleygirl for a bit and suprisingly, I found a pair of floral leggings that were only $7! There was one that looked exactly the same from Sportsgirl that I tried on yesterday and they were like $40. WTF. Seriously, the difference is huge.
I posted a picture of them in one of my previous posts, this is what they look like:

Well, I gotta go do homework. I'm hoping that the weather is good tomorrow but I doubt it. ):
Because, if not, we won't be able to swim tomorrow.

summer school

2010-01-13T19:08:00.005+11:00

Hey guys.
I'm sorry for the lack of posts during these past few days.
I've been busy at Summer School since this Monday, coming home everyday between 5:30 - 6 pm.
It's fun, but not as fun as last year. I've been questioning this - maybe because the tutors are less awesome or it is not as organised? Either way, that's my opinion.
The train rides home have been epic as we have had many laughing fits about random stuff including a man's random laugh after listening to our conversation about tennis. Speaking about tennis, I hope I can go to the Australian Open. If I do go, I'll most likely go in the second week considering I'm going on that 5-day camp with the family. I NEED A NEW SWIMSUIT!
Hope to update soon, when I'm free or not stressed out by my own procrastination.

hot day in the city :*

2010-01-08T23:04:00.010+11:00

Hey guys.
Yesterday I spent the day in the City and it was hot (34 degrees) although that's nothing compared to what it'll be like on Monday (41 degrees, eek!).
Went to Melbourne University to pick up stuff for Summer School & then headed off to have lunch and shop. I didn't spend anything, surprisingly. (Y)
After, we went to the Gym for a couple of hours - fun, I'm proud that I actually went and did a bit of exercise. :D I have today and tomorrow to finish my book & do a bit of my homework which I'm too slack to do.
Bah.

Winter = more layering, huge circle scarves and oversized sweaters. EXCITING!

I kinda like Alexa Chung's style. It's very chic and stylish whilst being simple and not too outstanding.

movies 2010

2010-01-07T19:04:00.003+11:00

I've been browsing through a list of movies that will be released in early 2010. I already have a few I'm obliged to see. Most of them are romance comedies. :'D

- Leap Year (starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode):

- When In Rome (starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel):

- The Back-Up Plan (starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O'Loughlin):

xo

AVATAR

2010-01-06T19:23:00.024+11:00

I went to see that movie today and it was such a brilliant movie. One of the best I've seen. I loved it.
Hahah. I could go on for ages but yes.
:P

Went to the City yesterday with a couple of friends to see Sherlock Holmes. It was an okay movie - some of it confused me so I didn't completely understand the story.

Toothy grin :B I do it a lot!

Currently in the mood to read 'Years of Wonders'. It's a pretty good book. Very interesting.

xo

too twisted for words?

2010-01-03T23:32:00.005+11:00

Should I or should I not? What do I do? I can't decide.
I need your opinion. I need to be secure. I need to FEEL like I'm doing it right.
Walking through a million blinding lights, I can't help but feel crowded and looked down upon. Are they flashing because I look awful and I don't exceed their brilliant expectations?
I can't help but wonder what inhabits the huge brains of the young and old, and I am not completely sure but I still think the worst.
The path I am taking will lead to disaster, shall I drown in a mass of self-pity or act positively to the situation at hand?

NYE

2009-12-31T12:45:00.009+11:00

Hi peeps ^___^,
As you can probably see, I've changed the name of my blog from 'ohicindy' to a much more contemporary and pretty name (sleepingfairylights). I got the idea from this picture I found somewhere on the net. It looks so beautiful that I can't ignore it:

So, it's NYE today and I can't wait for the fireworks at midnight.

Well, I think I will head off and complete much more productive tasks rather than sit on this chair and do nothing useful on the computer.
Sorry for the short post!

i want the ocean right now.

Hey folks.
It's been a while since I last posted.
Christmas has been awesome! I received heaps and heaps of money + a cool, studded cardigan from Valleygirl :D
It's freaking awesome, considering I wanted it.

Went Boxing Day shopping and it was pretty busy but not as much as I thought it would be. I also went to the 24 hour shopping at Chadstone at like 11 pm and it was still packed and all the parking was filled completely! Talk about last-minute Christmas shopping.
Anywho, on Boxing Day, I saw a pair of brogues that I saw at Aldo and I loved them instantly. I looked at the price and was like "oh damn it" because it was a ridiculously high number. I also asked the shop assistant if it was on sale but she said no and I was disappointed. ): I bought them anyway... they were (get ready) $138! Yes, I know what you're thinking... "this girl must be out of her mind". Yeah, I am, pretty much. Haha. I basically have no money left - I've spent like half of my Christmas money & my bank account is nearly empty.

Here's a picture of the shoes, I apologise for the bad quality. It was taken at night.

Anyway, I've been listening to Tegan and Sara recently. I downloaded their newest album (Sainthood) a few months back and decided to download a couple of their older albums. Now, I fell in love with their music! So f*cking good! My mum & brother think their music is weird though, lol.

Well, tomorrow is New Year's Eve and wow, it really doesn't feel like 2010 is coming anytime soon. The year has gone by so fast. I'm kinda excited about next year but at the same time, I'm really scared about Year 12. I'm trying to finish the novel, Years of Wonders. I've attempted some of my Methods homework too but I'm not succeeding. D:

I hope to take more photos when I go on outings and post them on here. :)
If you read, please do not hesitate to comment because it'd be very much appreciated.
I've got Summer School in a few weeks (it goes for two weeks) & I'll be heading off on a 5-day trip near the beach with my family straight after.

Have a nice day !

sweet cake

2009-12-13T18:29:00.005+11:00

Heya.
Today I woke up awfully late (11:15 am). It's not that awful but we left the house at 12:15 am. Although we got home last night about 12:00 pm, I still stayed up doing nothing.
2012 was actually an awesome film. I was at the edge of my seat throughout most of the movie and the effects were extremely well done despite being unrealistic.

So today's story... my family and I went to this park and had a barbecue with the extended family on my mum's side. The food was pretty good. I got to see a few of my baby cousins. The cakes were really, really sweet though.

Most of the youngies and some of the oldies got together to play a soccer match and at first I was reluctant to play because I was wearing improper shoes but somehow, my older cousin/auntie persuaded me to. I don't think I play soccer that well but I can at least kick the ball. I was near the goal in defensive mode, when the ball was coming my way and I was just about to block it with my upper thigh but it was too late - it hit my thigh so hard. It hurt for a while, but got better. However, I was being complimented and praised in a way because I stopped the other team from getting another goal.
Ahaha.

Results come out tomorrow! Fingers crossed. It's only Religion but I still hope I did okay.

movie night

2009-12-12T16:01:00.006+11:00

Hi people.
I'm going to see a movie tonight with my family (2012). Hope it's good.
I woke up really early today. ):
Tomorrow, I'm going to this family picnic to say goodbye to a few cousins who are going overseas.

Check out my tumblr here. I've already got 25 followers! I'm stoked. It contains random shiz & inspiration - mainly photography, celebrity idols and fashion.

I'm getting my VCE result for Religion & Society 3/4 this Monday and I'm shit scared.
I'll be lucky enough to get above 35. It's hard but my parents are like, "you should be more confident."

I'm currently reading this book called On The Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. She's a great author - I'm a fan of her books. I especially love Saving Francesca. Her other book, Looking for Alibrandi was made into a movie in 2000, which is a favourite of mine.

2009-12-06T21:04:00.003+11:00

Heya guys.
I don't think I'll be blogging that much nowadays.
There's nothing interesting going on, so I'll probably only post when I have something interesting I have to say but yeah.
That's all for today.
Went cherry picking with the family. That was fun.
:)

you build me up, you break me down.

2009-11-09T15:39:00.002+11:00

Man, it was one hot day. I've had a lot to eat. NOT GOOD.
Anyway, I'm currently studying for French.
Je parle français un peu?

I really want the DSLR Canon EOS 450D *eyes twinkle*
:D

I can't wait 'till exams are over! Only 4 exams left - including my R&S 3/4. CRAMMMM!
4 days left until I'm uncapped :O

i hear christmas bells...

2009-10-20T18:25:00.003+11:00

I'm so excited! Christmas is probably the best time of the year for me.
#1 - It's the holidays
#2 - I get to decorate the house with my favourite decorations
#3 - Money/presents
#4 - The weather is freaking nice :D
#5 - I'm actually in a good mood (weird, I know)
7 days left until exams which means there will be hardcore studying.

I'm currently listening to 1234 by Feist... it's an old song but I still love it!

more shiz

2009-10-17T16:08:00.002+11:00

Blue military jacket = love

Match this romper with a gold belt and it will be perfecto :)

The skirt is really cool.
Love the buttons on it as it gives it a boost.
Skirts and shorts with buttons have a sailor-ish look which I'm digging at the moment.

Sargent Peppers Tee, $50
General Pants Co.

I LOVE THIS. It reminds me of MJ and the military style going on right now.

A dress from Modcloth.

It's finally Friday. Exhausted after such a long, tiring, boring week. Yes, that's Year 11 for you. I'm looking forward to Year 12 *sarcastic tone*

HOT POT = AWESOME!
Hope the weather's going to be good tomorrow and the forthcoming days too.

I really can't be bothered posting these days.
Plus, I'm capped.

~ I thought things were going to change but they're still the same.

xo

really?

2009-09-17T16:22:00.008+10:00

I never knew that I'm that annoying to people. Maybe, I'm constantly complaining to others or they just don't like my company. Either way, I don't want to lie - it's upsetting me that people's opinions are not truthful. I would rather know the truth than make assumptions.

looking forward to summer

2009-09-10T16:49:00.011+10:00

I can't wait until the weekend. It's going to be 26 degrees on Saturday?
My parents are coming back soon! I have to look for a job for the Summer holidays.

Some things I'm a little obsessed about at the moment:

anberlin, the academy is and werewolves...!

2009-08-25T17:45:00.016+10:00

Gosh. I can't describe how bloody awesome that gig was last night ;D
I was just reading the MX and it said that William Beckett (Lead Singer of The Academy Is) described us as "the best show of the Australian tour to date". OMG!
Anberlin was there supported by The Academy Is and Werewolves.
We bought Anberlin tees. They're very pretty.

Here's some photos:

So effortless.

yeeeey.

2009-08-21T16:15:00.012+10:00

Hello. It's finally the weekend. :D
A lot of people didn't come to school today because of the Deb.
Everyone's excited about it. It was a very, very bludgey day.
Well, I'm not going so I'm purely relaxing... got some homework to do but that's about it. Everyone's quite busy. I asked Winnie to go to shopping with me on Saturday but she can't.
:( I wanted to check out the new part of Chadstone. Apparently, they've opened up Valleygirl!
I can't stop eating Snickers. :K
Cedric (my younger brother) and I will be eating KFC for dinner. My grandparents are fasting. I'll be watching So You Think You Can Dance.

I'm digging these at the moment:

don't you just love motion pictures?

2009-08-15T20:30:00.007+10:00

Today was fun. I went to the City with Agata & Elysa.
I was actually early for once... I had to wait 40 minutes or so for both of them to come.
First, we went to Harajuku Crepes & then Photoplus.
We had good ol' Maccas for lunch.
Oh, Treasury Gardens is a very relaxing place but there's too many couples lying around...
S:
Also stopped by at Malvern and shared Igloo Zoo.

OMG! I watched the trailer for The Time Traveler's Wife and it looks sooo good. Here it is:

I just finished downloading Donora's album - they really rock
:)

That's it for today.

left my keys at school

2009-08-04T17:11:00.005+10:00

Yeah. The title says it all. I went to my neighbor's house and chilled there until my mum came home.
+_+

Anyway, this a list of the things I want to do when I have free time:
- Take more photos with my dad's digital camera (Canon Digital Ixus 65)
- Knit a scarf
- Paint a feature wall in my room & stick up poster/magazine spreads
- Bake a cake & make eggs and bacon on toast :3
- Go to the Library and borrow 10+ books
- Finish things left unfinished

Ha. Man, I totally stuffed up my Meths SAC. I was in a crappy mood today. :(

xo

sometimes...

2009-07-30T17:54:00.004+10:00

Sometimes.
I don't know who I am...
I act all cheerful on the outside, but on the inside I'm slowly fading away.
Really, WHO AM I?
I wish I could have more courage to stand up for myself and not let others control me or their judging remarks get the best of me.
Why do I even care what others might think of me? That's the question I will always have in mind...
Everyday seems to take forever because I always have a regret, a fear and an insecurity that I hold onto. I can shake the feeling away but only for a moment.

Will there ever be a time when I feel genuinely happy? Or will this keep its hold on me forever?
I'm TRYING to be positive in everything I do but it's so hard when I dread the days ahead.

P.S - Sorry for the depressing post above... just letting go of my inner emotions.

xo

fix you.

2009-07-28T17:15:00.013+10:00

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Yes, I feel like listening to my beloved Coldplay.
(:

I got my Anberlin/The Academy Is... concert ticket :D Yipee. It's safe with me.
I've got another bank account which I put all my saved up money in throughout the years. My dad has taken the money to buy shares... so I don't really know when I can get the money back.
Speaking of money, my parents especially my mum want me to get a job over the Christmas break.
Maybe?

I love Melina Marchetta's books! Saving Francesca is an epic novel... seriously. It's about teenage stuff... Haha.
She has a new book called Finnikin of the Rock. I haven't read it but I want to. This one's more about Fantasy, I'm guessing.

sheeep.

2009-07-27T15:59:00.006+10:00

Hello.
School on Mondays = Sleepiness in class
I have to pretend to be Bianca from Othello in English tomorrow. GG.

Guess what I'm going to eat soon?!
SCONES!
They are theeeee best with cream & jam.

My hair doesn't feel that short. T suggests that I curl it... I guess I'll give it a try. I just suck at curling my hair with a hair straightener.
I'm going to re-dye my hair in a couple of months and this time, it will turn out right!

That's all I have to say... Bye :) :)

wasting me away...

2009-07-22T23:33:00.010+10:00

Hello.
I'm going to quickly blog before going to bed :)
I'm kind of hooked to the song, "Amsterdam" by Anberlin. I'm going to THEIR concert... The Academy Is... is just supporting them.

Yeah, I added a list of songs I'm currently into (some are old, some are new) on the right. -->
I will update them every now and then.

Anyway, I've been wanting an DSLR camera for a while. I'm liking the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1.

Hi.
I've been listening to Mannequin by Britney for ages.
<3 I finally went with my Mum, Grandma and Grandpa to DFO. I bought a singlet to wear to sleep and two pairs of shoes from Rubi. Yesterday, I spent some time doing my Maths homework but I gave up. I don't get any of it at all. Seriously. I have Accounting to study for too. CBF. I don't know anything about what we're learning. On Friday, went to the City with T, Thom & H. We went to Science Works. It was fun to observe all the different things there. It was painful to walk in heels though... LOL - T & H swapped shoes.

Went to Koko Black and I got a classic Hot Choc.

We also went to the Museum. Pompeii was sold out T___T" Gah, wanted to go. Decided to just look around the other exhibitions. We watched a short clip of a woman giving birth... looks terribly painful.

Only T and I watched Brüno.
Erm. After some time, I decided that I don't like the movie.
It was funny, yes, but very disturbing. I wouldn't watch it again. Hahah.

We missed the Train after. Luckily, I didn't get into trouble. I got picked up my dad at Oakleigh Station and we went straight to my cousin's house. I've never been to their house before as they just moved to Australia. It was my baby cousin's 2nd birthday. He is cuteee! I had a lot to eat there. My mum's trifle is a winner :P

Hello.
I'm a bit sick still.

My latest look has reached 275 hypes! I'm wowed.
Seriously. I didn't expect it to go that high but I'm happy too.

I WANT TO WATCH TRANSFORMERS!

My auntie is coming from Sydney tomorrow and staying with us.
I have a bunch of Accounting homework to do, which I have not yet done.

Wish me luck.

can i just have one moment?

2009-06-23T19:20:00.011+10:00

SHORT HAIR!
Hopefully, I get to dye my hair too.
I'll get my cousin to do it for me because she already has the experience :D

Chestnut Hair (Rachel Bilson)

Hm. I don't know. I'm kind of sick of black.

2009-06-21T12:57:00.007+10:00

Hello guys.
A friend told me about this store in the City called 'Shag'. It sells vintage, edgy and modern clothes, shoes and accessories. The products are from all over the world; Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and the US.
It is situated in the Centre Way Arcade, 259 Collins St.
Haha, if you don't believe me you can google it up or search it somehow. :K
I haven't been there yet but I will surely check it out when I have the chance. I don't know the price range of the stuff there either.

Here's some pictures:

I have decided to cut my hair! I can't wait until the holidays. One week to go. :D :D

bleeding love

2009-06-14T13:00:00.012+10:00

Hello.
I'm look forward to the fourth season of Skins and also the third season of Gossip Girl. I'm rooting for Blair and Dan! They would make such a odd but cute couple :D Gosh, I'm obsessed with these shows.

Winnie invited me to her birthday party at Knox and we're going to be watching Transformers... I'll also be watching it with Tran at IMAX. Therefore, I'm watching it twice but at different places with difference cinemas.

School tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll be getting our Exams back.
I'm kind of nervous because I don't think I did that well in some of them as I didn't finish, etc. Bad time management skills. I need to work on them.

C'est tout.

PS - I feel like Little Cupcakes. Yummm.

This is the box I bought on Me and Tran's 17th birthday outing in the City after it got ruined by it being dropped 1000 times and me falling down the stairs.

don't know how long i can keep this up...

2009-06-11T15:01:00.002+10:00

Hello.
I ended up finishing my kitchen... but now, I have to fix it up. LOL. I messed it up somewhere...
Mr. T: "Why is there a lamp in the kitchen?!"
Me: *shrugs*

Finally, everything's over! Exams and GAT. The GAT was easier than I expected...
I preferred the writing tasks over the multiple choice questions. There's just too many and the answers are so similar... didn't know which ones to choose. But oh well. I'm only ecstatic. :D

Later.

xo

oh, you're supposed to care

2009-06-09T23:05:00.006+10:00

Hey guys.
I'm finally starting my Kitchen. I don't want to though D:
Anyway, I might cut my hair a bit like Alexa Chung.
Here's a picture:

My hair is black though. What do you think?

Hopefully, I get to go to sleep early today... I need to catch up on sleep and be ready for my GAT, which you can't really study for.
I got a new pillow and it's so ballon-y. It's super puffy but comfortable.
I apparently 'groan' in my sleep. Scary.

xo

the clock ticks away...

2009-06-07T13:57:00.002+10:00

By God. It's already Sunday!

D:

I can't really be bothered studying for French...
I'm so bored and want to go out of this dull box.

Hopefully, tomorrow I can go out with Winnie. I suck at surprises so I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.

I'm going to try not to blog as much unless I have something interesting to say. Lol.

Bye guys.
