♥ the liv uni tote
this bag is called the liv uni tote. it is from sportsgirl.
and timmie bought it for me on our birthday present shopping trip.
i've been hunting for this particular bag, since i first saw it online, the black had sold out all around WA, except for the murray st store.. but the last time i went in there, they didn't have it...!
ahhhhhh but when we went there last friday... it was there! the last one!
and seriously, it is the most amazing thing EVER. it fits EVERYTHING! my file. my laptop. my lunch. my keys, phone, pencil case. it has all these compartments and pockets. and you can have it on the shoulder like a handbag or on the slide like a slingbag!
yes i might sound overly excited. but that is because i've been looking for the perfect uni bag for ages now...! and i have finally have it! *superhappy*

and i did exactly that!
and you know what he asked me?
sigh!

♥ vodafone prezzies
nawws, working at vodafone has it's advantages!
today (well, now that its past midnight, it would be yesterday) a customer bought me flowers!
quite cute huh? same orchids that josh bought me for 1yr
he was a funny customer. he came in the day before because he had pressed the wrong pin into his phone, so it had locked itself. but we couldn't give him the puk code because he wasn't the account holder of the mob number (and he didn't know the pin). and like his mate was waiting at the airport for him, and he kept going on about how its the worst thing to do, ditch ur mate etc etc.. he was realllyyy full on, it was a bit scary haha. but somehow i was still able to get into his contact list, then i just let him use our work phone to call his friend. and yeah, comes back the next day and i was dealing wiht a customer. so he dissappears and comes back again with flowers.
and then the day before a customer gave me like a $15 tip???? which is really odd. because uhh, it's vodafone. it's not normal to tip o__O.. and i told him not to worry about it, but he was really persistant about it. but anyways. it was funny because he only bought 2 x $29 headsets? he was pretty nice though, had lots of questions. he probably should have invested that $15 into getting a new phone (seriously, his phone was like older than my mums haha)
and the other week a lady named mary bought me chocolates, because i helped her buy a phone for her husband. she's a funny one. she came back so many times. first time to recharge her phone. second time to buy her husbands phone. third time to ask me where to stick the charger. fourth time to figure out how to use the camera and send a txt msg for her. and like fifth time to say the phone had fallen out of her husbands pocket in some random field up north. haha. she's so cute though.
haha. vodafone has its benefits i guess. i didn't realize how generous people were. we've had customer buy us donuts and go to the effort of writing nice emails to our manager... it's pretty cool. to get acknowledged for good customer service ;)
man, u never get this stuff working for reddot

♥ driving + smartrider + shopping fails
it's been two months and i've only done four hours out of the twenty five. i refuse to 'cheat' too. so yes it may take me months. but i'm not too fussed really. not like i can get my own car til the end of the year anyways.
i am quite furious with transperth however. i've been through four smartriders and they canceled one of them without my permission! something about how i tried to stick it into the UWA portal and so they canceled it -.-" WHYYY WOULD THEY CANCEL IT?! now i have to pay for another card. GRR. very unhappy about that.
work is slowly improving. worked at reddot yesterday. and wasn't very happy because morley's manager came in... and i'm not her biggest fan. i decided to go home to chill before returning later on in the day.
oh and i went shopping yesterday to buy presents for angeline and winnie (the shoes didn't fit doh), plus get a few things i needed like bathers, uni bag, work shoes.. and left harbor town with nothing. i was quite disappointed. after 3 hours of shopping (incl city) i went to work with a packet of socks for jayc's birthday present (which i had to get from like footlocker because the ones at the nike store were sooo dodgy!)
HAHAHA. these are awesome (sorry jayc, couldnt find these or else i would have bought them for you!)
going to play baddy tomorrow for a bit (exercise i seriously need) my tummy has inflated and you know when people call themselves fat but they're not really? well i AM actually FAT. no joke. my tummy sticks out, and you can ask josh if you dont believe me! must cut down on soft drinks at work =/ and fast food. and more exercise. arghh!!
sent my phone to be flashed yesterday.. and i thought i had backed up my contacts but it failed -.-" so only left with my sim contacts (which is only up the the letter "L") so make sure you sms your number (don't forget to say who you are) to me so i can add you...
boyfriend dropped by during my lunch break today. i like surprises :) esp kinder surprises!
anyways sorry for the boring posts! nothing much eventful has happened in my sad life at the moment...
hopefully things will turn around =)

♥ shopping touch
i am quite saddened by the fact that i have lost my shopping touch.
me and nig use to go shopping all the time, and i'd be able to differentiate between something he'd like and not like...
and i bumped into him yesterday when i dropped by galleria with my parents and we went to myer and stuff... and he didn't like anything i picked up! and i didn't particularly like what he picked up either.
so i've lost my touch =(... or it could be that he's changed his fashion sense... i haven't shopped with him in quite a whilee...
RANT: i strongly dislike that fact that he is working out like crazy, his body looks TOO buff in comparison to his face. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. very angry at his friends for taking him gymming too much. he looks silly. that is all.
oh another note. bought a tshirt thinking i'd give it to my mate for his bday... sent him a picture of it and he didn't like it! and i thought it was like the coolest/cutest tshirt ever! hmfph. well if no one else likes it, i can return it... but i might keep it for myself, since i like it so much.. well I THINK IT'S COOL!~
is that not a cool shirt? or have i really gone wack?

♥ gift ideas
don't you love presents.
i do!
i'm the kinda person who like to give either very typical stuff, or very useful stuff. sometimes thoughtful stuff, but usually practical.
my most common present that i give, is clothes. especially for guys. tshirts and jumpers...
for girls, i use to give lots of jewellery, but i've sorta stopped, because i find that if your like me, u just have way too much that u never wear half of them, so its kinda a waste i guess...
i usually buy things for people things i think they will like / use... and also that i would want if i was to get to it. i don't really like getting useless presents. unless they're nice like flowers (so generic), because it feels good to receive flowers don't u think?
presents that are cool / funny are good too. like cool toys and stuff, you don't really need them, but if they're cool or have meaning... then its a nice present.anyways. i was putting together a present for my mate in sydney. mate/exbf. uhh, it sounds kinda awkward i guess... but it was a good break up. the kind where ur great mates after. and not great enemies.
when i was thinking of a present for him, i guess it was kinda difficult because i had to take into account postage and handling... weight and shapee etc etc... and i know he's been going through a tough time, so i was hoping to go for something more along the thoughtful side.
then i remembered this one time i was surfing the net for thoughtful presents, and i came across a yahoo post saying something like, getting an umbrella and writing a note on it, saying how "sometimes you need to take a risk, and step into the rain"... corny stuff like that xD.
so i decided to put my own box together. but instead of using such generic sorta stuff, i put a lot of things that had to do with our friendship or the jokes we use to make. i tried to still keep it practical though. ahaha. there was a torch for his car... "to light the way when its dark and ur lost"... and random stuff like lynx bodywash named 'antihangover'... "to rejuvinate in the morning after those long nights"... and other random stuff like pictured sticktape "to mend all things broken" and sesame street bandaids "to heal all things bleeding in style". ahaha, and even a disposable camera "to capture those special moments".
each thing had a little tag attached by ribbon to each little part. and yeah it turned out pretty cool =). squeezing it into a postage bag was slightly difficult. i had to end up drawing a picture of an umbrella, because a real would wouldnt fit, haha.
otherwise yeah, that would have to be one of the coolest presents i've put together. it wasn't cheap though, so i don't think i'll be doing it again for a while, haha, its amazing how all these little things add up!
it's a good present idea though, for someone who has everything they want / need!

♥ 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.
