Cute Movies and Another Guilty Pleasure

The cute movie I am talking about is the Disney movie, Camp Rock. It is actually a cute movie! ^.^

Lots of cute and cheesy and fluffly moments! Haha... Yeah. It's an alright movie... I think I like it better than the High School Musical triology....

On another random and guilty pleasure note.... Britney's new album, Circus is actually pretty good..... but then again this is coming from a um, year-2000 Britney fan sooo.... it's not that bad is all I have to say, evidence. Though I have only heard like less than half of the songs.... so far, my favourite is Out From Under, lol. ;]

That's all for now ~ =)

And The (Somewhat) Bad....

And of course with every goodish/badish news (yesterday's entry), there comes bad or really, unwelcome...?
Anywho, haven't really been "spending up large" but the small 'breakfast'/'first-meal-of-the-day' purchases have been adding together.... to the sum of four hundred dollars!!! :O

I know... I am.... shocked. Ah yes, shocking news! Sigh. Oh well. Gotta restrain myself (which I did today when I went to Lynnmall! :D Restrained myself from buying this $5 necklace at Equip! I want it! Maybe next week....) till next friday! When I get bpaid a nice. huge. sum! =D I can't wait! :)

One week of work over! =) Three more to go~

Next week is shopping day Thursay then... (before) my friend's 19th birthday dinner at La Porchetta! ^^ Their gelato is delicious! And so pretty! (might have to take a pic.... if I'm not feeling so self-conscious at myself for taking a picture of my food, lol).

I don't know how other people do it! I just get so! self-conscious like people, or even the people I'm with are looking at me (most probably) and/or are thinking what the hell! Also think its a very asian thing to do (mean no offence, a good thing! And just I think is typical of them :) ), I wish I had that asian-ness... don't think I'm asian enough :P

YUS!!!

That's all. :)

Hope everyone's results are great also.... although thought I got F for Written.... hmmm oh well. HAPPY! :D

Coz Sharing is Caring~

Something that I got in my email (there's an online version :)) today after signing up for it coz you could win stuff, lol..

But I had a look at the email and I couldn't believe the price of that Sony digital camera pack! In comparison to how much I got my digital camera for, I thought that it was decently priced and also great moneys-worth!

You got like pretty much a start-up kit! Good value. Will definitely be checking out this site more often.... wonder how much they're selling iPod Chromatics for......

A Summary

Live. Love. Learn. Life
♥

This entry has been sectioned for easy reading and well, actually just an easy entry for me. Coz I've wanted to blog but just not sure where to start and well, waited till now coz thought that there would be some photo-taking yesterday but there's not so oh well and yeah. And, end of the week is a good time to post and reflect and summarise :]

WORK

Work is good other than not being paid this week due to me forgetting to fill out and give timesheet to boss/finance department... T_T damnit, then realizing like after work and then going in the next day to see if I could... I couldn't =(

And from next week onwards I'll be working there everyday from 12.30 - 2.30 as opposed to just two days a week... and when I'm back in West Auckland, have to train in everyday.... it'll be like I'm going to uni! Heh... must be how its like for full-timers.... with the exception that I'll be only working two hours a day! xD

It's good. Gives me something to do since well, I can't get a new (retail?) job anyway coz of me going overseas in about a month (hmm... actually month~ four weeks!! ^.^) so yeah, this is good aand obviously I will be getting more money and hopefully paying off that damn overdraft finally. It was supposed to be like paid off um, on Thursday? My last allowance payment....? Yeah.. didn't happen -_-

UNI

I failed a paper.. It sucks, but oh well. That happens. =\ Actually got an F..... but hopefully I don't think it matters next year since I've changed like from an extended Chinese major to a double major (in Event Management).. Ahh, more work (probably?) and like more papers to pass.... well hopefully it is interesting and just realized that I never mentioned this change of plan. The paper descriptions I read seem interesting and have planned (really) small events and quite enjoyed it...... yeah, we'll see what I say this time next year. Quite proud of that small birthday celebration for a friend that I planned, but anyways, this is getting off-track..

Got results back yesterday and it was good and bad (this was just for the Chinese papers). I passed Chinese II but I failed the year-long Written Chinese paper... fcuk. Oh well. It's not the end of the world and like I said earlier, I don't think this affects my degree anymore as I don't think I need it anymore.. :] Got B- for Chinese II. Which I'm pretty happy about. My whole semester of (not-much, but much at the same time...?) study! :)

Still waiting back on a core paper, icomm. Not sure when will get those.. probably in the first week of December... hopefully earlier~

SOCIAL LIFE & FRIENDS

Social life has been alright this past two weeks, ever since I finished exams for the year. Been loved and visited by friends! ^^ That has been awesome. And hung out and caught up with a few others.. actually thinking back hasn't really been much but a lot in my book. :]

This week saw a movie with Sabrina. Went to see Saw V. Sabrina didn't think the traps/games were great.. "ametuer" in comparison to the previous ones, according to her. I thought that it was a pretty good movie, on par with the rest (but then realizing that I hadn't actually seen all of them and think even thought that was the fourth~ =_=) but yeah now thinking back, I do agree with her comment, specially in comparison to the limb torture one! AH! >_<

Also went to the beach with classmates after getting results back. That was good. The was sooo nice! Definitely gonna go again (maybe, hopefully more than once!) before I leave for HK/China!~~ :D Also got like the typical kiwi fish and chips for lunch and the girls had icecream.. that was nice. Had it at that Gelato and Sorbert shop.. think that was what it was called. Had Tiramisu flavoured icecream.. wanted Rum and Rasin (alcoholic! LOL XD) but they didn't have that flavour. Damnit. And then just laid on the beach for a while and soaking up the Vitamin D... when I got back, was feeling quite tired, maybe too much? Haha. It was great.

And speaking of alcoholic, met up with two friends, Chloe and Elaine after work on Thursday and well, ended up drinking at my place with some sushi that we made while watching some Home & Away~ ^^ It was nice. Quite excited about my friend's upcoming birthday dinner :) (plans haha.. but also means spending T_T)

Good week :)

COMING UP....

• Friend's birthday dinner on the 5th.
• And also before that am planning on a shopping trip to get a new dress for that birthday :) with my gift vouchers that I got for my birthday but still haven't spent :P
• Possibly another class outing (lol) on the same day since I have like work and the birthday dinner later that nigth and it would just be poitnless to go back and so yeah, hopefully~
• CHINA/HK TRIP! - this is the most exciting and the one I cannot wait for!! Shopping, shopping and more shopping! Oh, and of course visiting and spending time with family and relatives. And also possibly improving my Chinese ;)

And there's probably other little spontaneous things along the way in the next five weeks :) Actually, there will definitely be some more. I'd like see some movies that are coming out like My Best Friend's Girl and possibly (yes, delayed, lol) Dark Knight too.. I hear it's $8 atm.... anyone keen? (That's living in the Auckland region haha) Oooh and karaoke again too!

And, lastly, which I wasn't going to mention but maybe (actually it is) mention more indepth at my LJ (if you would like it, email me and we'll see from there :)) is the love life. Virtually, nothing to mention and nonexistent! As the saying goes, you can't have everything and when I did have one, it was last semester and my grades weren't too hot... but this semester it wasn't too hot... actually FAILED! -__- but. Not the end of the world! That was a year-long paper and soo yeah... damnit. Maybe would of had a chance if I didn't like um, pretty much fail the last exam! D:

But yes. That is my life in the past two weeks and also semester. Not much excitement or drama (no drama is great, thanks!) but was a pretty social and good year for the academics~ =]

We shall see what next year/semester brings with my changed double degree of Event Management and Chinese. I have also signed up for Student Mentors and so that should add some spice to the mix of things :) Can't believe that another year is nearly over and will be going into the new year in another country! :D How exciting! =) Although wish we were going into the New Chinese New Year over there.... money! Hahahaha XD

I will follow this up with a list of my current favourites that you might like to check out...... tomorrow n_n

Hope you all had a great year/semester and that you all go into the new year with a bang! :D (I know I will be.... kinda... maybe. Okay. Not. Lol.) But yes. A New Year Is About To Come..... ♥

Forever21, Handi-ness and Boots! :)

"Why do people add you.... and then never talk to you...!?" - Me.

 Yeah that quote isn't exactly "moving" or like "insightful" but it's something that I probably will never find out.. oh well. Anyways....

Forever21.com - damn that site is like sooo cheap but postage is sooo expensive! Pretty much probably have to buy like 25 items just to make shipping worth it! We'll see when I have money again.... whenever that is >_>

But yes, there are some dresses and tops that I would love to add to my collection of clothing in which most of them I don't wear.. I need to throw out sell the clothes I don't wear but (some.) that I love and can't bear to part with.. T_T

One of my previous entries, I mentioned stuff that I wouldn't mind getting and in which I would get myself if I didn't get it hahaha.. well. My wishlist is complete haha.. air tickets to HK are nearly sorted and booked :) [although I have to fly back bout like two days earlier than my family coz of work... like 4 hours/2 days! Oh well.. least I didn't have to like miss out weeks of stuff! =) And this is just two days.. or really one because of the time differences..], remembered this notebook that I had that I said I was going to use to document my time in HK/China aaand yeah got my writing utensilies thanks to Mish! Lol XD (yeah, I'm weird, lol), but hey, saves me like $20 on getting it :P

During this holiday....  I am kind of hoping to learn how to make WP layouts (since I have like millions of time on my hands anyway!) and well.... it could happen... it may not. I'm not sure... depends on my motivation levels and if I do so, then will have to get hosting which I might like just use 100webspace ooor 110mb... we'll see.

Oooh and yes, yesterday I went shopping with my sister for boots on my mum's request (I didn't click on the reason till like much later during the shopping trip.. =_=) coz of the many walking we will be doing while in HK/China and yeah, they're great! I wanna get these other pairs too! I still like my Westfield vouchers from my birthday... thanks again sooo much for them!! Was saving them for the New Year's and/or Boxing Day sales lol... (don't look at me like that! I'll be able to get more stuff at that time! Yeah, that's possible~!) But, yes, the boots which I quite love and it was only $30! :D

I also wanna get a hairdryer and umm... handbag(s) from Farmers! They're like $40 each! D:

One day.... I will be in credit again.. =)

This Could Be Interesting.... :)

If you saw me in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for?
Answer me, then post to your own journal and see how many crimes you get accused of.

Christmas Wishes :)

Feels.... pretty good! :D But.... now don't know what to do with my free time! Haha.. >.< I can't get a summer/christmas job because I'll be going to China/HK in about a month and so obviously won't be around for that summer period and yeah... anybody got a job that's only a month long and finishes around Christmas time?
Yeah.... nothingness now.. am planning to go down to Hamilton maybe... sometime this week probably end of the week/weekend since got work and that's (so far) the time that friends down there is free... hmm.. so yeah.. that's possibly in the works~ =)

And, that is all... all that is left now is the countdown to getting on a plane and going to the airport (lol, I dunno why I underlined it really and why its so um, exciting and great? /shrug) and going to China/HK!!!! :D

....have been spent sleeping, procrastinating and doing a very after midnight yesterday overdue icomm assingment!

Didn't do much other than venture out when I was hungry.... it was..... omg... I have a headache now and should actually sleep now since only had abour four hours..... D: have been up since like Thursday 11am ish.... and haven't slept... =\

Second all-nighter... but the first I had 10 minute naps!~ this time, nothing other than finally succumbing to sleep at 8am ish.... and then sleeping for abour 2-3 hours! Which didn't even feel like that much hours sleep.. just woke up and it was 5 minutes to 12!

Heh and got a call from my mum at 8am and was somewhat not really disorientated!

But yes, now I shall rest and sleep and then cram this weekend for, I think, the hardest exam of them all... -___-

Oooh and then at 12 pm Monday, I will be freeeeeee! ^_^ I can't wait. Good luck to people who still got exams. You can do it! :D
