Update

Whoops! Just realised that I've neglected this little space a bit. :s

Anyway, here's just a little update of what I've been up to...

Since last week was Easter/ Mid-Session break, I did what every student would normally do.. TAKE A BREAK AND RELAX! Haha. Actually I also had plans to do some studying/ catch up on readings, but that obviously failed. Pretty much started doing and completing my assignment/ homework on Saturday (2 days before going back to uni.) Sigh.. The power of procrastination. haha

So, last Tuesday I made my way up to Blue Mountains with a couple of friends. I stayed for a night and I must say I really enjoyed myself. Loved every part of it except the weather though. It was raining the whole day on Tuesday. Super cold and foggy. Spent most of my time indoors (though it's not really a complain). haha. I'm not an outdoor person, so bushwalking and all that isn't really my thing. I was pretty happy to skip that activity. :p We left on Wednesday (mid-day) and fortunately the weather cleared up. A couple of us made our way to Megalong Valley for brunch. I had the BEST steak pie there! Super yummy!

Are you drooling already? :p

Apart from Blue Mountains, I spent my holidays watching The Hills. I know.. Don't judge me. haha

Saturday came and it was time for brunch with my good old foundation friends! Had super yummy scones and tea for brunch at The Rocks. I can't remember the name of this cosy place (shall find out soon) but I'll defo pay a visit again.

How cute are these teapot warmers? 

Random deco which gives this place character. 

Love the fairy lights. 

Assortment of plain, maple, raisin and cheese scones

And this brings us to today. Passed up a Finance assignment and did a class test. *runs victory lap* Now let's just hope I did well. haha 

Got home and I saw this package for me. Another Bowerhaus item :p

I say... Hello Disco Shiny Balls. 

One item off my wish list. hehe

Such a good day! I'm feeling so happy! :))

p/s: thanks mom! :p

Taking the time to blog

As some of you might know, the past week has been pretty hectic. But I'm not complaining (: Sometimes being busy makes me feel productive. (: Weird.. haha

I feel like I haven't updated my little space here in the cyber world. So, before I go back to working on Finance questions, I shall give you a lil update on what's going on. 

I was blessed beyond words last week. Got 2 gifts out of the blues :)) Necklaces and bracelets! Oh joy!

Thanks Fara!

And Bowerhaus!

Super LOVE! :D

Oh, I taught my first class today! haha Didn't do as well as I expected :( Hopefully the students somehow managed to understand what I was trying to say. haha You know it's actually quite hard to explain simple interest and compound interest in words. In everyday language without getting technical?? LoL I have another class tomorrow. I shall improve myself for tomorrow. Hopefully as time goes by, I'll get the hang of it (:

That's about it I guess. haha. My weekend was spent in front of the computer typing out notes for my students. Rushing to finish my tutorial work. Nothing eventful. 

I just realized that I haven't been baking for the past month or so. I want to bake!! I'm thinking about baking a rainbow cake. Or a different coloured- layer cake! Anyone with any good recipes to share? If you do please drop me a note! Thanks!! (:

My Week So Far...

I had a pretty hectic week. Monday - Thursday was spent in uni, helping out at Orientation Week. Super tiring. I wasn't prepared for the tiredness. haha

But it was still fun. Being in uni again meant I was able to squeeze in some time to have lunch with my girlfriends. 4 girls having lunch at Kaki Lima meant good old Malaysian food with loads of talking. :p So much so that we didn't have time to camwhore. Sigh. So this is the only 2 pictures I managed to snap -.- Super fail. 

Deco at Kaki Lima

Mee Bandung

This sounds ridiculous. But it was my first time at Kaki Lima. I know right, despite being here for 2 years+. *shakes head* Definitely coming back for more Malaysian food. Next time I'd want to try the Mee Bandung. :D

Fast forward to Thursday now...

My 2 BFFs since Foundation days just came back from home. So naturally we wanted to catch-up with each other over food. :p This time round we headed to Bacco at QVB for tea. The desserts were super yumm and veryy affordable. Choose any 3 desserts for $15. We had the strawberry tart, their signature chocolate dessert and this other yummy roll which name I can't remember. Would definitely recommend this place. They serve high tea too. So if you fancy anything like that.. You should give this place a try. 

I really enjoyed the ambience of Bacco. This place was cosy, warm and welcoming. (: A really nice place to chill out with your friends. 

After tea, I headed to Pandora and got another 2 charms. (: Thought of getting 4 initially, but I decided to go  slow. 

I wanted to get the blue butterflies, but the maroon ones looked better in real life. :p Also, I got the money bag as a self reminder to save and that money doesn't grow on trees. I've to work hard for whatever I want in life. (: haha

Now, here I am wondering how I'll spend my weekends before uni starts. Do you have any plans? Anything interesting to share? (:

BOWERHAUS. I Love.

Have you ever taken part in an online treasure hunt competition??

Sounds awesome and exciting aye?

Well, exciting and fun stuff are meant to be shared!! So, here goes...

Australian jewellery designer Bowerhaus have a game called Treasure Hunt Tuesday. As the name suggests, this lil game runs every Tuesday on their site. One free item with an amount of $0.00 would be listed at any time of the day. The first person who finds it, adds to cart and checks out would win that piece of jewellery. Sounds too good to be true? Believe it! 

If you haven't already know, sisters Elizabeth and Shentel Lee are the brains and beauty behind Bowerhaus. Even though fairly new to the industry (they only started in December 2010), they're already taking Australia and the rest of the world by storm. They've been featured in Harpers Bazaar and Ode to Liberty. AND guess what? Serena of Gossip Girl has been spotted in a Bowerhaus G'Day Necklace. Now, that's just awesome right? :D 

Bowerhaus definitely has something for everyone. From necklaces and bracelets which are perfect for everyday- wear to bold pieces which will make you stand out in the crowd. 

Here are some of my favourites...

My Charm Bracelet

I've got a big thing for charm bracelets. I've no idea why actually. Just 'cos they're girly and pretty I guess. hehe So today on the way back from uni, I passed by Thomas Sabo and Pandora in the city. I made a stop at both outlets. :)

Last month when Aunty No. 3 was here, she spoilt me silly with all the shopping and food :p Fun times! So anyway, when she was here I didn't accompany her to all the shopping trips she had. All mostly around the city anyway (QVB, Westfield, Castlereagh St. etc). But on that 1 day I didn't tag along, she came home with this...

She got me the double-leather bracelet 'cos she thought it was more suitable for younger girls. I'm still a 10-year old in her eyes :p haha And along came 2 charms she picked for me. Hmm..I think my Mom helped pick too. Cos my Mom choose the angel charm. I LOVE the charm! Too cute :))

Now I want to fill this bracelet up! 

Since I didn't get a good look in the store today, I made sure I browsed through the collection online. Now these are my favourite few..

Silver Safety Chain

Charm Smiling Sunshine

Silver Charm, Pearl

Sterling Silver + 14 ct Gold Bag

Silver Charm, Enamel

These are my top picks. Should be visiting Pandora soon! :p 

Are you girls as charm bracelet crazy as me? Or is it just me?

Images of charms are from Pandora at www.pandora.net

On another note, my heart and prayers go out to all those who are affected by the earthquake in Christchurch.

Back!

Here's a peek of where I've been...

Can you guess the location? haha. Really want to blog about what I've seen, ate, done, experienced, etc. But my body's not allowing to do so right now. Ever since I touched down last Thursday night, I've been out and about, running around, accompanying my aunt on shopping trips (believe me I'm not complaining :p) that my body has been so extremely exhausted. Topped with lack of sleep and my failure to keep myself hydrated, I've fallen sick! Arghhh..

Been down with fever, soar throat and really bad flu. My nose is like a running tap now :S 

I promise to update as soon as possible! (: 

Time to sit back/ lie down in front of the tv for my Australian Open fix. hehe.

On an unrelated note, I'm so happy my Minz Lauren Vintage Stone Pendant arrived today. Nothing DHL can't fix! :p Hmm..Now my flu doesn't feel so bad anymore ;) teehee

Have a great week ahead, dolls!

Rapunzel

I just started a tradition and I think it'll be here to stay! Every month (from now on), the brother will bring me out for a movie. hahaha. 1 movie a month won't hurt his pocket I'm sure. Don't worry, I'm not that demanding. :p

So we managed to kick start the tradition with Tangled! haha. The brother was pretty sceptical about a Disney movie. Mind you, this guy watches sci-fi or action or whatever else most of the time and thinks chic-flicks (my kindda shows) are a waste of time -.- So I had to convince him that Tangled was going to be good. I kept telling him, "My friends said it was awesome :D"  Yes, with that big smile on my face. And whenever I could, I'll keep saying "Let's watch Tangled (x3)". I annoyed the crap outta him! hahaha. When it comes to dealing with the brother, you just got to be persistent. 

I'm not sure why it only got released in Australia today, but you've GOT TO WATCH IT! Watch it in 3D if possible. Tangled will not disappoint you. It's a perfect family show. But wait, all Disney shows are family-friendly aren't they? haha.

Umm..I don't think I should tell you guys so much here. 'Cos then it'll be a spoiler for some of you. Just think funny, happy with loads of singing and fairy-tale ending. haha. I'm sure every girl out there would enjoy this movie. Don't be afraid to bring your boyfriend, husband, brother, male friend to watch with you. 'Cos they'll love it too. :))

One thing I managed to take away from Rapunzel is that we should all have dreams. Dreams lead us to our goals. With a goal in mind, we'll then be determined to achieve what we want and succeed. Like Rapunzel, she had a dream to watch the lanterns. Initially, she was forbidden by her evil 'mother'. But as the story unfolds and as opportunities arises, her dream came true. :)) So don't be afraid to dream, my friends! You'll never know what's in store for you. I'm a big dreamer. :p haha But don't dream ONLY. Work towards that dream of yours. :)

I want to watch it again! Who wants to go with me?? haha. 

Speaking of Rapunzel, this gem here has caught my eyes! 

From the Rapunzel Collection by Adeline herself. Check it out on her website here. 

Hope everyone is doing well! The weekend is coming! Can't wait. haha
