Yesterday I went out with my friends to make up the celebrating of my birthday on the 2nd >_< It was a good day!! I wore my cute denim ruffle skirt I recent got from Big W and the Fiorelli shoes I got on Boxing Day zomg!!! They are so cool.... too bad they kill my feet... I think it's mainly because I'm not used to wearing heels in general especially not ones that high *sigh* >_< We went K, dinner at the "secret location" (it was Musashi XD), dessert at Passionflower (hmm is it me or is Passionflower just not that good at all these days >:P)... sticker photos hahaha!! And then home cos I was getting tired plus work for some peoples~ XD I stayed over at Eva's house that night and we stayed up until 2am watching a french movie "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" and folding origami!! Hahaha~ We made an
awesome bouquet of lilies!! So pretty! (see left above) pretty ey ey ey? XD we folded them while watching the movie ^__^ I was so tired when I woke up this morning >_< but I had to get upa bit earlier to wash my hair :S Paw Paw and Gong Gong suggested we go Yum Cha in Auburn before we headed out to City to meet my Mum.... it was still pretty early so it was really empty-ish O__O We finished up pretty quickly too. So dashed out to City after a while~~ It was so hot today >_<; We just hopped around a bit and had lunch in Market City I go some more summer shoes!!! YAY! They are similar to the G2B shoes I originally wanted but they are like a cheaper brand? O__O YAY! Anyways after that Mum and Julie went and sat around the food court at Market City and me and Eva went to do more shopping~~ I went to the Korean Supermarket o get hair dye and whle we were in there we got a SUPER DUPER ICE CREAM!! LOOK AT IT!! ZOMG!!! That' Eva posing with it (see right)... I didn't get a proper good pic with it because I kinda took a bite out of the top before I posed with it XD It was really nice~~ Just a good chocolate soft serve.... but so good on a hot summer's day! Ok I'm gonna go pack more clothes for Shanghai~
Donna baked some cupcakes to bring to Grandmas' on Christmas Day and I made the American Baked Cheesecake I have been trying to perfect in the last few weeks ^__^ I put a Christmas message on the cake using Milo (see left) but it got all ruined by the morning (I made it the day before) because of all the moisture in the fridge T__T It was really good though!! This time I baked the crust rather than just fridge it and the base was so crunchy and nice~~ <3 And it was cooked just right because the actual cake bit was nice and fluffy and light <3 YAY I didn't overcooking it like the 2nd one I made~ Perfect! <3 Oh when I was taking it out of my spring form pan I was such an idiot.... rather than pushing the cake upwards out of the ring I un-sprang it and made this huge crack in the cake... I was freaking out LOL So I clasped the spring back.... >_<;; And finally I remembered I could push it up Hahahaha~ >_<; I had already prepared all the presents for all the relatives and for Mum I prepared a photo album full of past holiday photos all labelled and decorated ^__^ Julie made a card and Donna made a compilation of songs on CD for Mum to listen to in the car. Mum seemed to really like the gift ^___^ Especially the photo album and CD *shifty eyes- sorry Julie* :P Omg! I just realised the A in x'mas is the wrong way on the cake... wth >_<;
After so much fuss in the morning, we arrived at Grandma's house around 12:30 or something >_< LOL Cos we were just so late and slow in the morning~~ It was crazy!! Everyone was already there! We were the latest people there this year >_<; Oh well as soon as we got there after the usual Christmas Greetings... it was onto business!! And what we were all looking forward to.... Big 2!! XD Finally! But after a while we had to go downstairs again to witness the opening of the huge Christmas Hamper that Grandma had won fron Pathers Leagues Club XD It was so huge! (see left) That's all of us posing with it and our Grandparents! ^__^ Then after the grand opening... they gave us each a piece of the hamper hehehe~ I got the Three Seeds Breadsticks cos I am really addicted to breadsticks atm. And everyone else got... *drumroll* Look there! (see right) Hahaha~ So fun! ^__^ We pretty spent the rest of the day with a mix of random food, card games (like Big 2 and Poker), Mahjong (and using the Majong for... other games LOL), Monopoly and gossiping/chatting/catching up! It was heaps good! Very relaxed and nice~ In the later afternoon after dinner we went for a walk since we had all fully stuffed ourselves with food XD Alot of people were talking about our uncles... new hair *hehehehehehehe* People who was there... you know what I mean ;D After most people had gone home we (being Me, Donna, Alan, Eva and Sally) retreated to Eva's room and watched The Golden Compass.... (I've already seens it but meh~ Oh well!) I am so tired right now cos we splet at around 3am >_<;;
Next day! The day of boxing day sales!! XD So looking forward to this!! We all woke up around 10am or so all kinda dead because of the late night >_<; Had a quick breakfast then dash down to City! It was great though - I had great "sau wok" today hahahahaha~ It seemed much more crowded than previous year but I picked up some super nice Fiorelli sparkley summer shoes that were high heeled (see left) and just omg!! I love them!! They weren't the pair of those kinda wedged heeled summer shoes I orginally wanted to get from Payless Shoes for $70 but... these are just so georgous! I think better? They make my legs look skinnier and longer kekekeke! They were originally $120 and I paid $70 for them~ <3 Though at the moment I can't really wear them because of the cut on my toe
T__T soon though my toe will heal and I'll be struting around in them like no tomorrow!! AH!!! <3 Can you tell how high they are? They add 11cm to me ;D zomg! *__* Do I really need that
extra height? >_>;; Next item on the list....G2B Sandles (see right) - they are so light and comfy! I am so glad Eva showed them to me a few weeks ago because they ROCK! I actually didn't get the style that I wanted because I couldn't find it anywhere but the ones I did get are pretty good too ^__^ I love them~ <3 They were originally $40 and I paid $25 for them~ After the shoes we looked at mens underwear cos Alan was choosing and looking for the right size hahaha he couldn't find the fluro green ones he wanted LOL After that it was onto the Basement.... CLOTHES!! YAY! Lookies at my Miss Shop Skirt (see right) and my Miss Shop Overalls (see left) too! Both originally $50 and I paid $30 for them ^_^ I've been looking for some overall shorts fo so long~ Or something similar to them but I haven't been able to find any T__T These ones were majorly cute~ I still want to find more~ Because they look so good in the magazines~ *__* Later on we just had a bit of Maccas and it was already tie for Alan and Sally to head back~ T__T So me, Eva and Donna ate and then Mum called us to go home with them already too (But yay free ride).hahahahaha omg I was looking at some recent pics I uploaded nt the compy and omg!! I found this!!! *drumroll*
Yah yah! So a while back a bought this combined packaged off eBay that had 1x Dr Jart Silver Label and 1x Dr Jart Black Label. I did read around and was still not sure which of the 2 Dr Jart BB Creams to buy so I ended up getting both. As Dr Jart is also one of the top (or most popular) BB Cream brands out there. And now the results are in... well the initial stuff... since I jump around too much to be able to measure long term benefits XD
Dr Jart Silver Label: For me this was not good. I think it's best for those people with lighter skin because after putting this on I looked freaky hahaha~ Although it was heaps easy to put on (ie very easy to blend, etc), my skin seeme dry and cakey in places. I'm not sure if it was just that my skin was dry that day or what? Plus it had a matte finish, so mae me look even drier? O_o Yeh so I gave this one off to Donna since her skin's lighter ^^
Dr Jart Black Label: I'm ok with this one so far, since the coverage is aright and it is quite easy to apply, very smooth. The smell when I first put it on was a bit strong but I've gotten used to it and you really don't notice it after the 1st time. It doesn't really have that glow that Scandal Magic BB Cream gives off though. Also my face tends to be oily and it seems to not like the oil hahaha in that when it goes oily on my nose (mainly happens on this part) the BB Cream seems to... dissapear? I don't know has it been oiled off or what? After dabing it with oil paper it was still lightly there but almost none anymore. In saying that, the oil control of Dr Jart is not that good...
