♥ popcorn & foam
yesterday i tried triple butter popcorn.
yes thats right. triple.
it was lovely. and yes it was one of those microwave packets but they taste sooo gooooddd..
so yesterday i did end up going to the party. it was a foam party.
yes. that's right, foam!
it was pretty cool huh! but very short lived fun kinda thing though. but a very different and original kinda party.
it was fun, but long and tiring. foam can only entertain for so long (the machine stopped), and i only knew so many people. and it was very grouped already so it wasn't so easy to meet new people and engage in a convo, when they're all sorta in their own groups.
after being convered in foam (yes even my hair) thanks to the tbc boys (which i should stop calling tbc but rather lh now)... it was kinda sticky. like it dried and it felt like ( as josh put it ) "someone had licked all over you"... err yes. and how he knows how that feels - i do not know.
i ended up sleeping til 1pm the next day, skipped church, =X. i had some questions for pastor but maybe i'll email him.
must dig into some hardcore study today. sorta was thinking about it today as i was lying in bed, not wanting to get up. there is so much content to get through... for all my units. and exams are rapidly approaching. i technically don't even have a study break because my hbio exam in on that thurs and psyc is on the sat. boo!
anyways. time to wake up the boyfriend from his 10 minute nano nap. 'til next time.

♥ branded stuff
ohmygosh. so today at church alvin gave me an oroton box as a late present for my birthday. and it sorted resulted in a few of us joking around about how the box gets your hopes up, because i assumed that it was just the box, and not really anything oroton in it.
but i was wrong =/ LOL and now i feel bad. it really did have an oroton wallet in it, and its pretttttttttyyyyy!
anyways im really happy, because ive been wanting to replace the wallet my sister gave me for my last birthday, because even though it's 'guess'... it's not very pretty, plus its kinda big and bulky. but i use it, because she gave it to me, and i endeavour to be a nice sister... and she did try to get something that i liked.
but the thing is, that she thought just because it was 'guess' that i would like it. and this is why she was so wrong...
this brings me to the topic of branded stuff.
and how some branded stuff... are really expensive. and really nice. and thats all cool. its the kinda things u dream of =) the kinda things that would make u really satisfied if u got it. but u never buy... because its so $_$
but then u get the kinda branded stuff.. that is really ugly O__O... but many buy it anyways? and u know, it's this kinda aspect of branded things that confuse me.
i remember faintly one day, i was walking through david jones with a friend. and they pointed out a bag to me. it was like $3k or something. and it was hideous. well at least i thought so anyways. but there is probably one old rich lady out there who will love this bag and pay the $3k for it...
...
haha. another thing is like david jones. when their shoes are on sale... i remember picking up one of them, as i was walking through the store. and it was on sale. like 50-75% off or something. but it was still like 400 bucks!
oh oh. and the other day i was working at looksmart right, and i passed by david jones and they were having this make up thing with some high end class guy - napoleon perdis? something like that. and seriously... people paid $500 to get their make up done. $500!!!!!!!!! i bet more than half of them didn't even have a special occasion that night. And yes, i just checked the karrinyup newsletter and it said it was redeemable on products. but really.. $500... ... ... i don't know how so many can justify spending that much?
geez. i think i'll just stay out of david jones... really. i dont know where people can find the money for all these kinda things.
and really, i get such a satification from finding bargains and going sale shopping. i wonder that if u turn rich, u turn into not caring about price anymore?
ahh but such money could be spent on so much better things.
anyways. s2 my new wallet.. my sister will be so jealous =)

♥ presents
presents are awesome.
and i got some awesome presents this year for my 18th from some wonderful people =)
and its kinda funny, because i had a list of things i wanted, and i was going to use when people asked me what i wanted... but i never really put that list on fb, or my blog, or really told people the whole list... but i ended up getting a lot of what was on that list. so u could say im happy =) but i would have been happy anyways.
anyways. here's just a few things i got... don't feel left out if urs isnt up here (i appreciate it just as much!)
the umbrella.
dude, isn't this just the coolest umbrella ever? haha. my mate, david, from uni gave this to me. and it was so cool because i actually needed a new umbrella. at first i thought he gave me alcohol... then i opened it xD... its so cool, i've been going around uni showing everyone... xD ahaha im so lame
the necklace.
birthdays are expensive, especially when it comes to your boyfriend/girlfriend's birthday. money is usually spent on expensive flowers chocolate and things that are really........ generic... and most of the time, un-useful. haha, josh and i decided we would get each other these... they're matching and really symbolize the heart of our relationship. We both wanted/needed cross necklaces, and finding these... made present buying... so much easier. haha. esp cauz our bdays are near each other..
the photoalbum and letters.
aside from what we refered to as the "materialistic" present, there comes a "meaningful/thoughtful" one too. hehe, so my dearest boyfriend wrote me thirty letters over the course of thirty days. it was nearly thirty thousand words, and it took me a good couple of hours to read though. but they were very thoughtful and i loved the effort he put into them. he also put together a photo album full of pictures of us, with some awesome quotes.
the pencil case and scented highlighters.
i think smiggle is amazing. haha and even though i have tons of stationery... i really like dropping by there and getting stuff. mel, my cell group leader got me this, it was really sweet of her. the pencil case is awesome. its so handy because i can open it up from any part of the pencil case. its really good for finding things that are at the bottem of your pencil case (it means u dont have to take everything out to get it!)
the towel
it's amazing that i got a towel for my birthday, because i actually had it on my list! i've been overusing my roxy beach towel that i got on my 16th birthday haha. that it's been fading =(. so i was really happy when huy gave me this bag at church and i looked into it and it was a towel! it was also a bit late, so it was cool how i was still getting presents - and ones i needed too!
the totoro bag.
this bag is from lauf. well actually i showed winnie a picture of it, because i wanted it. haha. and she got it for me. so far, it has caused two randoms to talk to me on the bus - asking me where i had got it from, and also how they loved the anime/movie.
i heart this bag. its nice and big. fits EVERYTHING. from laptop to uni books to pencil case and two boxes of lunch (on mondays my mum makes josh lunch too)... its super cute too. just not very good for my shoulder when i carry lots of stuff. but i'm liking how im meeting new people because of it =)
the toad pillow
again, from lauf. haha. i dont know if you guys know it. but i like to sleep with lots of pillows. im amazed how some people can just sleep with one pillow. i need plenty! two behind my head. one to hug. more to the side of me in case i roll over... this one is super cute. and u know when i see something u want. but u don't want it enough that you would pay for it. but u still want it? yeah this is one of those kinda things, and its great when someone buys it for u.
hsm & spoons & bear & whip.
ahaha, now this bunch of stuff was from some of the boys at church. and i wouldn't usually mention it, because of the content, but they put a lot of thought into it. yes, they gave me a whip. from what i gather it is a rather expensive whip. haha... and that is all i will say about that. also, they wrote in a hsm card, and gave me a hsm sticker/calender book. which they attempted to show me how lame hsm was. but i thought it was cool? oh and the spoons... they were engraved too. and some meaning which i still am having trouble to understand. haha.
the boardgame.
hehe. i haven't played boardgames in ages. but im quite happy i got this for my birthday. simply because i always to parties. and they always ask u to bring games.. and i never really have anything to bring =/ because all my boardgames are old and stuff, e.g. half broken molopoly, boggle... etc. so now i can bring this =) i haven't played it yet. but it looks fun xD
the bible.
actually timmie asked me what i wanted. and i knew he would be the perfect person to pick a bible for me. there are so many types, so when he asked me what kind... i tried to specify. i wanted one that could fit into my handbag (so A5 size was good). i wanted red letters. something not too heavy, with a good size font and easy to read.
and wah-lah. i got my bible =) thanks to timmie and dan. and i like it immensely because reading my electronic bible at night is not easy! especially when im at church and the light there isn't so good too. and my only other bible is a teen one thats really big O_O and not very convenient to carry around.
handle with care.
ahh, peixin from high school / uni got me this one =) he knew i wanted it before i even told anyone. i've only gotten through the first few pages. but i look forward to getting into it.. the story blurb was so interesting, and jody piccoult is an amazing author. yay its now my third book in my collection of her books (aside from nineteen minutes and my sister's keeper)
the ikea shelf.
this present came a little late. but it was so good to come home. and find this sitting in my room, covered in funny pictures and messages from friends i haven't been able to catch up with lately (because of busyness) but friends who despite not seeing them for a while, still mean so much. haha its super awesome, esp the colour! they know how messy and untidy my room is, so they got me this to try to make it more organised xD. haha, it was really cool... each of the messages made me laugh, they even attempted to make turtles out of playdough... it was really good to get it, esp after such a long day, even though it was a belated birthday gift.
alright, thats it for now... i will now leave you with a picture of my nailpolish collection. to remind myself that i have TOO MANY. and i need to stop buying them... they aren't cheap too huh! i never use to wear nailpolish.. so i really do blame josh for this one. he started it. but now i'm going to finish it, no more nailpolish buying! the bottles are so big too, it'll last me ages... but until then, i should stop wasting money on such things.

♥ bub's 18th
well well.
my boyfriend turned 18 today. it would have been an awesome day, except for the fact i had a chem test =( so i had to study.
but aside from that it was a good day.
and so was saturday, when it was his party. seriously though, i tried to be the good gf, but getting into his mother's good books isn't easy. but i think getting into anyone's boyfriend's mother's good books is difficult. *epic sigh here* hehe. it's okay. i still got time. i will slowly but hopefully eventually get in there... xD
anyways i think today marks an important beginning for me and him. i think we've learnt a lot the past few weeks, and its time to start tranforming and changing for the better.

so i'm eighteen!
adulthood huh. i had a prettyyy stressful week leading up to my birthday and even on my birthday.
my birthday party - i'll blog about another day. you will probably find the pictures on facebook (once i get around to uploading them)
i love organising things, but yes, i admit... sometimes i organise too much. sometimes i do overload myself. silly of me huh. but i always think i can handle it. also sillly of me.
my birthday was an excuse to slack off, go out and relax. it's time to hit back into the books.
and clean. oh gosh. my floor is covered in birthday presents hhaha. i spent last night opening them all =) and this morning i spent reading through the thirty thousand words josh had put into thirty letters that he had spent thirty night <3>
i'll probably blog more later. but right now i REALLY need to get into those assignments
*insert big sigh here*

♥ God is Good. All the time!
mmm haven't blogged in a while. there's much to fill u all in with.
you know when you hear stories of people's life changing experiences... or maybe something superduper awesome happened to someone who's a friend of a friend of a friend.
but you know. it's just a story u hear second hand (sometimes third, forth, fifth)... but... when it happens a lil closer to you... it makes u stop. stop and realize how the stories you hear are not fake or unreal or distant.... but they can be very true and near too.
so my boyfriend's aunty got saved yesterday! praise God! it brought such joy to my ears! and even though i haven't met her, it's like i've been following him on this journey he's been on, that God's guided him through. It feels like yesterday when he was telling me that he was getting promptings from God to contact this aunty of his in malaysia.
i remember, however, saying something to him along the lines of "yeah, talk to her... at least then u can say u tried"... and he replied somethingn along the lines of "no. i want to talk to her because God is telling me too". and i think back to that conversation and i think how very silly i am! when God sends us somewhere - we should go! when God tells us to do something, we should do it. and trust that He's got a plan! i need to have more faith! more trust. more belief. more action.
really, i am amazed by God's grace, love and miracles. He's amazing!
oh, and praise God i passed my chem test =). hey, a pass is a pass. im happy!
Dessert night with church people on Monday for my early 18th. MAN.. ingrediants are expensive... so far i've spent about $100 on just SELF RAISING FLOUR and UNSALTED BUTTER and CHOCOLATE MELTS and BAKING PAPER and PAPER PLATES and other stuff like that... zZz.. i still need to buy moreee... like all the lollies and fruit etc... =/ so yes, this birthday is turning out to be slightly more expensive than i was expecting (zZz.. i thought ingrediants wouldnt cost THAT much)
Also, i went to check out the restaurant i want to my other 18th celebration (for everyone else). From some people i heard its great food... from other people i hear its a dodgy place. but i went to check it out for myself. and i kinda like the place! the outside does look a bit =/, but the inside bistro is niceee.. with a bit of decorating, it could be great =). oh but it only holds 50-65 people in the function room... which may be a bit of a problem, considering there was 100 at my 16th (but consideirn church ppl are already coming to a dessert night, it should decrease numbers). plus the food's a bargain. really. $12 for steak/chicken parmigiana/beerbatteredfish&chips/seafoodbasket + buffet salad bar + dessert is an absolute bargain! so yes, just waiting for a call from the manager on tuesday to confirm booking (the guy needed to check with the hotel first whether it was okay)
oh a funny thing is they dont allow 18th birthdays. so i have to pretend to have just a "birthday celebration"... excluding the 18th part. sounds silly i know. but i guess i can understand that they've had problems in the past... 18ths are really associated with good things.
so yes, things are falling into place =)... ive been really lazy with organising stuff lately, so hopefully this will all just fall into place and i wont have to do much (please God?)
oh and a last thought... a guy today from SMA... he saw my makepovertyhistory tshirt and made a comment which i haven't heard before. i did some research online (but not anything indept - im still trying to get my head around it)... yeah read this link.

i'm going to have to do more research and reading before i make any concrete views on this... but u know when u have a set mindset about something, and ur not easily changed.. yeah, i hope im not like that, because really... if it's bad, i dont want to support it. but im a bit torn between the two... esp with all the work i've done for mph. but also very strongly disagree with abortion... it makes me sad that i might have to let go of this organisation simply because one part of it is wrong. it confuses me really. lead me in the right direction God!
feel fee to share ur views =) i'll be interested to know.
you know when you hear stories of people's life changing experiences... or maybe something superduper awesome happened to someone who's a friend of a friend of a friend.
but you know. it's just a story u hear second hand (sometimes third, forth, fifth)... but... when it happens a lil closer to you... it makes u stop. stop and realize how the stories you hear are not fake or unreal or distant.... but they can be very true and near too.
so my boyfriend's aunty got saved yesterday! praise God! it brought such joy to my ears! and even though i haven't met her, it's like i've been following him on this journey he's been on, that God's guided him through. It feels like yesterday when he was telling me that he was getting promptings from God to contact this aunty of his in malaysia.
i remember, however, saying something to him along the lines of "yeah, talk to her... at least then u can say u tried"... and he replied somethingn along the lines of "no. i want to talk to her because God is telling me too". and i think back to that conversation and i think how very silly i am! when God sends us somewhere - we should go! when God tells us to do something, we should do it. and trust that He's got a plan! i need to have more faith! more trust. more belief. more action.
really, i am amazed by God's grace, love and miracles. He's amazing!
oh, and praise God i passed my chem test =). hey, a pass is a pass. im happy!

♥ time to breathe
ahh its been such a busy week
and on reflection, i haven't been taking very good care of myself.
i've overloaded myeslf. yes i admit i have. i know i have.
but i thought i could handle it - and i did.
just at the expense of my health.
the exhaustion from the contiously lack of rest and sleep
but i'll be honest. i can take it. i guess i've been there, done that... and i know how to handle it. i can take it.
my to do list has surely gotten shorter. but i guess there's still important things still to do.
stuff like clean my room. write my yoty report. do ace online.
i've still got to get in touch with all my yoty hosts... as well as burn the photos to disc to post out.
well i should head off... iron my dress for 2moros 18th. also somewhat attempt to clean my room. oh and i must not forget to collate those photos to print - wait. i have no money to print photos. that will have to wait.
oh did i mention? im broke =( sigh! its time to get really serious about saving. i'm going to start recording my spending. louis has this system thing set up on excel that he's going to send to me so i can use. it'll be good to keep track of where all my money is going - especially since i need to pay off that debt.
ugh.
