Polka polka polka!*

Wow, I didn’t realise that I hadn’t updated in so long! The days really fly past, huh? I’ve just finished my third week of uni so you can take an educated guess as to what I have been doing. It hasn’t been going 100% great but oh well, don’t want to dwell on it too much.

I haven’t done anything remotely interesting to be honest… I did get out a little today and bought two things on sale that were both polka dotted! I really wasn’t planning on buying anything as I promised that I’d go on a shopping ban about a month ago but I haven’t been able to stop! It’s terrible :( Ahh but anyway, the blazer from Sportsgirl ($30!!! Crazy, huh?) is perfect for spring as it’s super thin and the mug, well, it was only $4! Could you really blame me? I had to stop myself from buying every single colour and style.

I think I will go on a shopping ban right after my birthday… uhhhhh, maybe. Haha, predictable me!

*John Candy says this in Home Alone. If you can hear his voice saying it in your head, you deserve like $1m fo’ real.

I hope you’re not hungry…

because the following photos of food are huge.

I’ve been enjoying my last days of freedom before I’m back at uni next Monday. I’m eagerly awaiting for my internal transfer to be approved so I can officially be a double degree-er! Exciting stuff I tells ya because this means I will be going overseas next year for a couple of weeks. I’m crossing all my fingers and toes!

Other than that I’ve been eating non-stop again because trying new places is always fun though I think the most fun I can have is having a lazy day at home, reading classics (found this copy of Alice at the Post Office! The cover is so lovely) and planning outfits for spring, hehe. I got these stockings at Topshop a couple of weeks ago, they really do nothing for my thighs but hey, life is short and who the hell cares about people thinking you’re fat?

Now I’m all singing karaoke

Hello everyoneeeeeeee! I’ve been a little bit MIA because life has finally caught up to me. Wish I had some flattering photos to post up but I have diddly-squat (This is possibly the first and last time I will use that phrase, haha). Let’s just say late nights plus broad daylight does not equal a nice face to look at. Oh wait I found one passable one which is currently my Facebook photo:

My camera has been acting up i.e. making things too light/too dark so I don’t have too many photos. I think I’ve dropped it one too many times. The next three photos are from a friend’s cameras and sum up basically everything I’ve done in the last week or so. Karaoke — screaming out the explicit words in every song we can find, rapping with no ability and finally shots of soju which I think is probably the most disgusting drink ever.

And over-eating!

Hello 1 metre pizza! I promise all this was shared between six people.

I also went to see West Side Story last Tuesday night. I don’t think I have much to say about it other than the singing, dancing and acting was great and that Josh Piterman as Tony is such a babe. It was well worth the wait considering my sister and I bought the tickets back in December.

And that’s it! Woooo! I’m getting tired from looking back these photos are thinking about how much I ate, drank and laughed. I’m so going to miss these ladies when uni starts again in August or whenever it is. Boo~

This is Dopey, he don’t talk none!

Ah, I wanted to show you guys my new Cue jacket that I got heavily discounted a couple weeks ago. It’s a really lovely navy and the strong shoulders make me look like I’m not slouching– since I’m slouching 99% of the time, but the lighting was so bad it’s made everything a bit pink. It’s my first item from Cue and I like how it’s made in Australia. There’s not too many ‘chain’ store clothes that are like that these days. Would you call Cue chain store? The sales assistants were also super nice (I was in the Myer Pitt St one) and I chatted to two of them for about 15 minutes about all sorts of things, it was like we’d been friends for ages.

I’ve been watching Disney movies these past few days. Channel Seven Two was playing Aladdin on Thursday. In year eight I did an Aladdin musical so the movie brought back so many embarassing memories of my friends and I as thirteen year olds dancing to One Jump Ahead. Then on Friday I went to see Toy Story 3 which I really enjoyed. I loved Toy Story when I was little so this was the perfect ending to it. Spoiler alert: I started crying when they were about to head into a fire and they all held hands. Too emotional for my own good I think, haha. My sister also got Snow White on sale today and now I can’t stop singing Heigh Ho. Also, there’s a really interesting fact that I didn’t know about Disney Pixar movies that my sister told me but in every movie there’s also a little clue about what movie will be coming out next! Look here! I hadn’t realised at all. Makes me love Disney even  more I think.

P.S. Thank you to the lovely people who visit my blog everyday even if you don’t comment and especially those who email me and say such nice things! I couldn’t be more grateful and humbled by them ♥.

Strawberry Fields Forever

June 15, 2010 | Filed Under La vie 

Exams are over and I feel like I’m in a world where I am taking LSD*… HAHA that sentence was so weird. I guess I mean I’m in this state of euphoria where I have nothing to do for the next 3 and a half months. I’m jobless, almost penniless but I am happy and this is all that matters I think.

I’m also looking for places to volunteer at; anything is good as long as I feel like I’m making a difference or contributing to something. A couple weeks back I emailed to volunterr at NSW fire services or something like that but it was like mailing out newsletters and I really don’t want to do that. I was also looking into Vinnies or something similar but last time I looked there had to be vacancies. I really feel like volunteering since I haven’t done something that hasn’t benefited me in a while but it seems pretty hard finding volunteer work that doesn’t involve mundane activities.

Also, I joined Chictopia – seems more fun than Lookbook (just sayin’!). I’m having a good ol’ time being vain. Join me and let’s be vain together in pretty/questionable outfits!

Will be catching up on everyone’s blogs over the next few days, I feel like I’ve been out of the loop!

*Listening to too much Beatles lately, I seem to have Strawberry Fields stuck in my head 24/7.
