Having a good day!

I had a really good day today!!





Started off with my favorite 'siew yuk' (roasted pork) with the boyfriend!


As I was gobbling down the delicious chunks of meat, the boyfriend asked me:

"I thought you are on a diet?"

"Err, I am on a low carb, high protein diet." *shifty eyes*


Then I started finishing my (really good) rice, and he asked me again:

"I thought you are on a low carb diet?"

"Err, I am hungry!" but not before throwing him a dirty look wtf.



Fanfuckingtastic 'siew yuk' always put me in a good mood. *heart*






Then I met up with Smalls!! A long overdue meet-up, since the last time we arranged to meet, there was the whole Teeny's-lost-wallet episode, leading me to bail out at the 11th hour. :(

But it was good! Almost 3 hours of non-stop chit chat/gossip/rants, and hello, Smalls + Hui Wen = NOISE, so the whole mall was reverberating with our voices. *shy* We even slot in a bit of shopping! And after Smalls left, I 'got lost' looking for my car, and ended up buying 4 pairs of shoes wtf.



And now my internet is working now!!! Damn fast somemore. :)))) Damn happy!


And I am super well rested. The trip has pretty much exhausted me. Add that to the fact that I barely slept on my flight home, you pretty much have Zombie Wen trudging in the house. In the past 2 days, I have slept for 20 hours or more? A well rested hui wen is also a happy hui wen! *skips wtf*



Outfit for the day:

(I was dressed damn casual 'cause I was supposed to just pop by for 'siew yuk' and head back to change to meet up with Smalls, but KL was so jammed that I had to go find Smalls straightaway! T_T)




The message I am channeling to the world in general WTF.










Gray tee with rippled neckline: G2000 Blu
Navy skort with gold buttons: Singapore
Pale pink eyelet headband: Sportsgirl
Plastic bunny necklace: Diva
'Spoil me' gold chain: Equip, Australia
Layered pearl and silver chains: Diva
Rings: Assorted
Black gladiator sandals: Baci
Vintage black quilted mini backpack: Thrifted






I bought this necklace in the Diva outlet store in Melbourne!! I saw it in the store, and I really really wanted it 'cause isn't the bunny the cutest thing in the world! T_T But when I asked Jing what she thought of it, she responded me with a dirty look. :( So I put back the necklace on the rack... But the bunny continued calling out to me!!! So I brought it home. :)


Just now during our 'siew yuk' lunch, the boyfriend took a double take when he saw me necklace.

"What's THAT?"

"It's a BUNNYYY! Isn't it cute???"

" Why are you wearing a bunny???"

"I couldn't resist getting it!!! It was calling out to me!"

"Calling out? What sounds did it make?"

"Err... Chi-chi-chi..???"


HEHE.





Can you make out shadows on my knee?? I have 4 big bruises on my legs now FML.




Ugly chipped nails! :(



I thought of putting up pictures of some of my buys in Melbourne!! Like my shoes, and this mini collection of animal brooches I got... But for some reason I can't find the brooches!!! I even messaged Teeny tp check with her whether I left them behind, but she said no. So I guess they are at home, just that I don't know where!! *panics*

So just pictures of my shoes for the moment... Err, all 7 of them? *sheepish*



I don't even feel guilty for lugging so many shoes back home! 'Cause they were all such good buys. :)))










*chuckles to self* I still can't help getting a mini high whenever I look at them! :D



And as I mentioned earlier, another contributing factor to my happy day-- 4 pairs of working shoes!! I desperately needed work shoes 'cause the (comfortable) ones I have in Singapore are falling apart already. I was with Smalls, and bought one from Vincci ('cause it's cheap), and I was nearly going to get a few more (so that I can alternate my shoes-- that way they last longer). Well, thank god I didn't! 'Cause I later found shoes in Debenham's going for 70% off!!! :D :D :D

They were so cheap-- almost the same price as what I paid for this Vincci ones:


Bought them 'cause they are flat with the slightest bit of heel-- more cimfortable than heels!




The 4 pairs that I got! I am not fussy about the asthetics of my work shoes-- comfort is my main priority. It's really a bitch bitch BITCH to be at work and wearing painful shoes. :(((

The first and last pair are of the same design! One in deep red and one in black, 'cause they are pretty comfy.





My fave one of the 4 pairs! In a pretty pale nude-ish pink, I think I can wear this to go out as well. :)

Happy happy!

Melbourne 2009: Day 2

I am back!!!


Just reached home this morning, and am really really tired because of a really uncomfortable flight (Air Asia T_T). Can't sleep though! Jet lag wtf (there is only a 2-hour difference between Melbourne and KL, heh)

There were some Aussies sitting near us in the flight, and I heard them said that it was the worst 8-hours in their lives. Fuck our lives. T____T


Am sitting in Starbucks now 'cause my home internet is down (again), and munching on a multigrain muffin. Multigrain, and I am only allowing myself 1 quarter of it. Because last night when we were measuring our luggage weight, we had to also face the deathly reality of our own weight. And I have put on 4 kgs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How is that possible you tell me. T_________T 10 days, 4 kgs!! Joshua said it's impossible, and I think so too!!! Maybe Teeny's weighing scale is screwed up... It has to be!!! T___T


And dammit, we had to pay for excess baggage!! Jing and I were really confident that our luggage won't be overweight, especially after we upgraded our original 15-kg-each weight limit to a collective amount of 45 kgs. But we ended up being 7kgs overweight!!! And that's excluding our seemingly harmless-looking handcarry but which actually weigh 20kgs each wtf. FML


Anyway, I was looking through our pictures just now, or rather what I have with me, 'cause I think there are some in Jing's and Teeny's camera which they haven't passed to me yet. And at the moment, I have approximately 1,300 pictures!!! Can use as resources to blog for the next year WTF.

I am feeling very gung-ho to blog now, 'cause I have had almost zero internet access for the past 10 days!! Teeny is very stingy with her internet. T___T But I am just going to jump to pictures from our 2nd day, 'cause on the first day, we just got off the flight and looked like what the cat drag in. Which, coincidentally, mirrors what I look like now. T__T





Melbourne, Day 2! :)







Tourists in Melbourne!





At Flinders station.




Beanie girls.



We saw a wanker on the train on our first night.. T____T More on that another day, but this is Teeny's remedy wtf:



It's very sharp!






Why does Jing looked like she is almost the same height as Teeny...





... whereas I looked so short next to her!! T__T








We went to Little Flinders Lane for brunch.





Teeny with her other weapon-- the DSLR wtf.




This is Josh, Jing's bestie! And Jing in the background.




A sleep-deprived me. :(





I love my new boots! *heart*





Three pairs of new shoes by Day 2 made Teeny very grumpy ('cause our shopping buys took up her room wtf). *sheepish*





Us eating again... I am telling you, we easily have 5 (big) meals a day. T_T





At Grill'd which serves such such such delicious burgers omg:









Jing acting lady-like with her pinky pointed up but ended looking like she is picking her nose wtf.




Schweppes! Teeny ordered some funky lemon flavor, which tasted, well, funky.




Here is her trying to steal my drink. T_T




HAHAHHAHAHA. To be fair to her, the burgers are super huge!






So so so so good. Hands down, the best beef burger I have ever eaten. WOWWWWW





Teeny looked sooo cute here!!! Like Puss in Boots, Burger Version WTF.






Jing's dining etiquette, hahaha. This is not too disgusting considering it's coming from a girl who used to wipe oil from her french fries and spit out peas ('cause she doesn't eat them)!
