  • Black Swans

     I don't think I have ever loved my bed so much. I just noticed lately in the holidays that I spend alot of time in it, asleep, awake or inbetween. When I was little I alway wonder how adults can love sleep so much when they are able to do soo many other things. (example, take me shopping.) -.- but I guess I finally understand it now. In the last two weeks I mainly distributed my time between working, laying in that bed and going out occasionally. It wasnt anything excited and fun but it was good. Sleep is always good.

    On Wednesday was Anzac day so we had a day off school, just right after we came back from break. I just spent the day with my brother and his little family, tagging along really. He went duck feeding at Western Springs and then we visit Mission Bay for awhile.

    [ my sloppy OOTD for the day. I wanted to wear something comfy and lose because I knew where we were going. I really like the colour and pattern of this cardigan, its so spring-ish and it makes the boring outfit stand out just abit more. ]

    lol, I always found it slightly amusing everytime I walk above this sign. How the only two languages are English and Chinese.

    I love how Black Swans look when they're just floating on the water. They look so elegant and mysterious.

    And then I just sat on the grass and relaxed while my brother and his wifey took Tyson for a swim. I was excited for Movenpick ice cream afterwards because it was hot and sunny and Movenpick is to die for, but when we were walking there, we saw a really busy yogurt place that looks quite new so we tried that instead. It reminds me of Yofana in Vietnam. Which I can't wait to go to when I go back.

    The place was quite small and really packed. -.- I took horrible pictures because I didnt want to hold up the line so sorry.

    I got a Piña colada and Strawberry Creme Yogurt mix. It's soo nicee. I want one right now.

    Some of the toppings. They had all kind of lollies, sprinkles, nuts, preserved fruits and sauces.

    And my end result doesn't look that appealing. lol I guess I just went random with the toppings and just chose whatever looks good. And maybe should of got the smaller cup instead of the large. But it actually tasted nice. I put white chocolate chip pieces, sprinkles, broken oreo pieces, cranberry dipped in white chocolate and caramel sauce ?  Because I love white chocolate. The bits of chocolates were the best bits :D

    Some pictures of Joy and Emily. Just because pictures of little kids make me smile. Maybe they will brighten your day just abit aswell.

  • A long post

    So after thirteen months of anticipating and pain, I finally took my braces off !

    I guess I'm quite lucky because some people have them on for alot longer and the last thirteen months really hasnt felt that long. I guess the braces became apart of me, a very annoying part but netherless, still a part. Although I dont think I'm about to miss them much after the times where they torture my mouth by giving me ulcers and toothaches. Im just glad their gone and along with them, my crooked tooth.

     I wanted to camwhore abit in the car because I was in a good mood after taking them out, but now I realise you can't even see my teeth properly. Maybe I'll take a clearer pic next time.

    My brother was being nice to me today after I took my braces off, he keep offering to buy me food. lol. So we got some pizza for lunch. It feels so different eating without braces, I nearly forgot what it felt like eating normally.

    And Last Sunday I went to watch The Hunger Games with Vivian. Since the movie is so hyped about, it adds to the appealing-ness of it all. The movie itself was pretty good but you know what its always gonna be like when a movie is a adaptation of a book, people will compare. I guess its a natural habit that we do because throughout the movie I couldnt help it. I dont really know if it's a good thing or not that the movie is almost completely how I imagine the scenes when I read the book. But maybe because of that, it wasn't as suspendsful as it should be.

    Afterwards Me and Viv went shopping abit. We were hunting for specific things since we had little time ( the movie was long >.< ) and in the end we couldnt buy what we wanted. But we stopped by this Asian shop and tried on some crewnecks because they were cute and cheap and warm.

    We were having fun in the changing room for abit and we ended up buying the black ones. Im contemplating wheather I should go back for the reddish/ maroon colour one because its so warm and comfy.

    Oh btw, say goodbye to braces Mei ^.

    I took Vivian's OOTD and she took mine. See, this is why I like going out with friends, even taking OOTD's are fun when you're not trying to focus a camera on a tripod.

    This post is long, but I guess it makes up for not posting in awhile. I got some pictures of stuff I recently bought but haven't made a post for them so I'll put them all here.

  • like a drug

    So this morning I woke up with this sudden urge to draw. Well actually it was the night before when I was laying in bed and for some reason I couldnt wait to wake up and draw something. I've never been the best at drawing and the way that I hold a pencil , a real artist will probably argue and say it's wrong but that to me doesn't really all that matter because I like to draw. And maybe its fate that I'm back into art class this year even though I dropped it last year for Classical Studies.

     I often don't fully finish my drawings as sometimes I just don't feel as inspired as I first started but today I was like on an artist's high, I was in the mood to draw and draw for hours. lol.

    I really did wake up earlier today to draw, thats why the picture is so dark.

    This time I tried to draw a picture of Infinite's L from one of his recent magazine shoots. Im never good at drawing portraits since they never turn out like the actually person but more like one of my own made up characters >.< but I'm glad this time I wasn't to far off from L. Hopefully.

    Done Using - Normal lead pencil, 6B and Tortillon.

    I think from now I'm going to try and motivate myself to draw or do some kind of art every month or so instead of just waiting for my sudden urges to push me.

    [ plain OOTD for today, forgot to adjust the straps of my bag before taking. I guess I can say today was a productive day.]

    Also I went shopping in the afternoon and bought some more more stationaries and these two magazine holders from Typo.

    IMG_1304 

    I got them in white because a plan to paint them popped up in my head. So right now I cant wait till when I have free time and I can paint them. I swear, art and customizing things are like my drugs, and once in a while, I need a dosage to stay sane.

==================♥♥♥♥====================================== { hello kitty is my home-girl. } hi, im Mei. I love shopping, Hello Kitty and Starbucks. At night is when I'm the happiest. I love to chase freedom. I also want to explore so come with me ? ==================♥♥♥♥======================================= life in motion. for conversations.
