Graduation/OP surprise present :)

Well it was more like the 'OP present', because my parents came up with the surprise on the day after I got my result.
I guess we were all happy with it. :)
So Jono told them about the Coach bag that I saw online and wanted and he was gonna go on a secret shopping trip with my Mum to get that bag. Except I kept begging to take me with them, because I didn't know that they were actually shopping for my present :)"
Anyways, we arrived at the shopping centre and were walking casually, talking and laughing, until we were close to the Coach store and saw that bag I wanted right outside the window. And Jono was like, "we're getting that bag." So I kinda freaked out and went all red and it took them a minutes of effort to drag me into the store because I refused to go in. -_-


Here it issssssssss. Except we didn't get it, because the leather didn't look nice in real.
Made in China. Meh.
I really liked the design though, so it was bit of a dilemma.


So we left the Coach store, not so disappointed, and walked around the whole shopping centre and browsed at other brands until we walked into the store that my Mum is a good old fan of....
---wait a minute, before that we browsed at the Ralph Lauren and both Jono and I bought a shirt! Yay for the siblings :D---
Back to the bag business. So at first it Mum buying a bag for herself from that store until Jono pointed out this other which made us go "oooo", "wowww".









And here it issssssss, finally!
Apparently it is the limited addition colour and Mum and Jono were so keen on getting it for me.
I thought it looked funky and hippy at first but after another walk around the shopping centre, I was actually starting to miss it!
We figured it wouldn't be too hard to match my clothes even though it is a bit colorful and unique. Imagine it with white, blue, red, green or yellow! :P

Usually when I'm elbow carrying the bag I like to leave the two long brushies (what I like to call them) on the sides, since it looks unique and it's their signature look :P
But there are also many other creative alternatives (not only side, across body, shoulder & handheld) to wear this bag...

Instead of having the two brushies on the sides..they can be put through the loop in the middle, which gives the bag a totally different look! :P
















Or sometimes when I'm carrying it on the side and the brushies are too long, I can simply tie a knot on each of them and it will look like this...










So this bag can pretty much look casual/formal at times depends on whichever way I like to wear it :P

Feels like I'm doing an advertorial, but it's just a little account on what I've been up to lately. It gives me something to write about! :)

I might blog about my Christmas events later on. See yas!

Last day of the last term break

Hey!
Title says it all, but now I realized I had barely completed what I planned at the beginning of the holiday! D:


-Vico's birthday -TICK-
-Bake a NEW cake -TICK-

-Finish beach painting (OH NO D:!)
-Sleep more! (I'm not sure about that)
-Read Dorian Gray (What's that?)
-Decorate room (I still haven't been to IKEA yet! :( )

Gold Coast with friends

Hey, yesterday was my first time swimming down the coast!
Our first activity was beach volleyball in the rain:

A very nice warm up to what came next.


Or maybe at first I was more of a scaredy cat to jump into the freezing water...

which actually turned out to be warm.


And here comes the explicit~


Nahhhhhhhhh :)



Ruining the beauty of the picturesque.

And this is our lovely big headed photo:




We also met up with many other people on the beach, so we split into little groups and had lunch separately.
I met up with a friend who lives there, and we went to a Japanese restaurant.

Finished my teriyaki chicken rice in no time, and I ordered another rice meal after that! I also didn't take any photos, but they looked something like these:


Pretty proud of myself. :)

Then followed our tete-a-tete in Hazel Tea.



After that, I went back and joined everyone else on the beach again!


Can you believe that five out of eight people did the same pose naturally, and one out of eight was not able to perform the "everybody looks at the sign" command?
He was also the one out of four who did not have the right legs coordination:

Anatomy and physiology.
The one next to me deserves an award for the most beautiful levitation in air.

And maaaaaaybe the one in the middle too.



Here above from the left, we were The White Tiger, The Painful Leg, The Slithering Snake, and The Chinese Eagle.

There was also the crew which we must not forget :) :

Directing and taking photos for us behind the scenes.
Or the photos would have been one like this...



But after all, you still need a photobomb like me.




Otherwise, you would just be like the one of four...

...who did not perform as accordingly...

He, jokesssss :)

Because nothing is impossible,

When you can conquer anything, with the most iconic pose.

And lastly, here is a nice, sunny, and dry photo...

...to complete the beautiful picturesque of the day.

One little note before I sleep

-Bonding with my auntie seems to be progressing :)

It involves maintaining an uberly cute voice on the phone.

New page

Hey guys, or dear diary?
Haven't written anything in a while, and who knows I would resurface again. :)

I guess all the stress from term three had drained most of my energy away. That probably explains the on and off writing manner of mine.
But now that QCS, UMAT and the last of the most crucial terms are over, I feel lively again, and this holiday had really been the best that I have ever had, and it really feels like I'm recovering.

We went to the beach today!

To tell the truth, because I was so anxious for grade 12, I wasn't able to enjoy the last Christmas holiday that I got to spend with my parents.
This, accounts partly why I am writing again now, and that is because...

I am actually really, really, nervous about seeing them for THREE MONTHS.

I mean, I am excited too. But previously I only went back to Hong Kong for short periods of time, and now that we are living together for much longer...what if they don't like the way I live?? or what if they find it hard to accept my lifestyle??

But after all, they are still my parents, and it won't be too hard right? Right???


Oh, and an eight year old brother who I barely to talked to this year. (That's his fault, because he always runs off when we are on the phone!) We need to bond. :(

BADMINTON

Bum is still sore from badminton.

It was pretty good...$64 because we hired 3 courts. So it evened out to be $4 each.
Prettyyyyyyy good.
And Caleb got another one too, so it was 4.
AND SO, I don't think anybody had to sit out for too long until some got tired.
It was fun (:

ANYWAYS, after that, we just pigged out at South Bank.
Stopped at Nando's.

How great is that after the only 1.5 hours of exercise we had for the whole holiday LOL.


Cool, ay. Vinh and I thought it was like Transformers.

Fight for the chicken!

Kiddo stabbing her chicken. (:

OUR LOVELY SAUCE COMPETITION ^__________________^
Apparantly people STEAL the sauces there o_o

Lol, my photos are as bad as paparazzi photos, or worse.

Then we went to the lollipop and bought junk and ate DOTTI ICE CREAM!!
Woohoo for the day (:
My invisible abs hurt.

Andddddddd, I wrapped Hayley's pressent..

which I forgot to bring today.

So hopefully, blogging this now will make me remember.

See my giraffe name tag?
