Sydney's been having a very Cloudy/Rainy Summer... so I've also gotten quite sick lately therefore I've been mostly a hermit at home.. painting..


But today I decided to go out with Benson just to get some fresh air into my lungs.
mm I got to Central at around 2pm cause Benson had to go to tvb station to complain about his subscription beforehand. After we met up, we went to Chat Thai for brunch and as I've mentioned before, they've added new additions to the menu and most of the prices for the food increased by $1 but it's still good.
I had Yen Ta For - wide rice noodle with pork and seafood in a nice red looking salty soup - $10.90 and Benson had Chicken: Pad See Ew and Chilli Fried Rice for $9.90 and $11.90 respectively. We also ordered 6 Pork Skewers - $2 each.

After our very filling meal, we headed towards Pitt St Mall where we roamed around the shops and bought some stuff from Cotton On since we had a $30 gift card. Benson bought 2 T-Shirts and I just bought a plain Singlet. It was a funny experience since he told me to choose the prints for him and all I picked were shirts with the naked or partially naked girls on them. (:

We also found a new (kinda) food court inside Pitt St Mall! It's literally like.. the most expensive food court in Sydney.. but it was nearly empty when we got there.. o.o; It's basically like a hugeee, nicely decorated place with barely anyone eating there. Though this might have been because it was nearly 4pm? The restaurants there included but was not limited to: Chat Thai, Ding Tai Fung, Max Brenners and a really neat little dessert cafe in the middle which has really exquisite chocolate for sale.
Anyways as we finished walking around Pitt St Mall, we just went to Kinokuniya and sat down to chill with some Pokemon Mangas. Benson also bought some stuff from there while I got myself a few classics since they were only $9.95 each.

After that, we just both headed home as it was starting to get late.
As I got home, I found 2 packages! 1 from OzSale and the other from SaSa.
It turned out that my IHana 13 piece brush set ($75AUD; rrp $249AUD) and my Caudalie skincare set + other skin care stuff ($75.40USD) had arrived.
I'm super excited to try the stuff out and do a thorough review of the items because I've tried the mini set from IHana from a BrandsExclusive order before and it turned out to be fantastic! Super durable, amazingly soft, doesn't shed but did have a funny scent in the beginning- the hair are natural goat hair and handles are made out of natural hard lacquered wood; they also have a vegan 17 brush set. On the other hand Caudalie is a French skincare line that focuses their products around grapes as their products use the antioxidant power of grape seed polyphenols to provide skin protection against free radicals - I got nearly all their products for around $10 (rrp $30-40USD) each during the massive sale Sasa had on during CNY so I'm super happy about that deal.

Anyways, I have to go take my medicine and get some rest now...
Toodles!

a little package arrived today in the mail ! :D
it was a package all the way from Canada sent by Lisa (a beauty guru on youtube) and i just couldn't wait to open it. heheh.
and BAM! it turn out to be the Balmbini palette from The Balm.
Lisa also left a note with the package and her handwriting is just so adorable!


I love the packaging of this palette! It's made out of cardboard but you can tell that it's very sturdy.
The packaging's very similar to the ones of 'Benefit'.
The palette comes along with all the "babies" of the most popular items from the balm including 2 blushes (in Downboy and HotMama), 1 highlighter (in Mary-Lou Manizer), 2 eyeshadows (in Insane Jane and Jealous Jordana), 1 lipstick (in Wanted) and 1 special edition gloss.
My favourite would have to be the the blusher in Downboy.
It's such a wearable matte blush that I believe would suit most light to medium skin tones.
Everything in the palette has really decent pigmentation and the powders are very fine.
And if anyone is looking for a dupe for Nars Orgasm, Hot Mama from The Balm would do just fine.
What is also good about this face palette is that it is formulated, FREE OF: parabens, sulfates, phthalates, GMOs and Triclosan. So you know you're not harming your skin!
However, I wasn't very pleased (you can say I was disappointed) with the Special Edition gloss as it appears to be of a muted coral beige in the package but is actually clear when swatched or applied to the lips.



- this palette retails for around US$30 (you can get it at sephora for $28)

anyways about my day..
mm I just went to school. nothing really happened there.
but one thing is that it's been super hot.
like.. hottest week in 150yrs and it's going to get hotter throughout the week.
not good... and what made it even worse was that I caught a cold.. in this 40'C heat!
grr.

Got super sick this morning and spewed on the train... yeah I know.. gross. = =;;
puked at recess and lunch after I ate my sandwich as well...
and now my mild cold's turned into a major flu. i think. grrrrrrrrrr!!!

Anyways, I went to check up on the Khalil tickets at the entertainment center today and all the tickets were sold out except for the VIP tickets. So unfortunately, I won't be attending his concert this year. ):
Went to CEO for an hour after that and then had lunch at Roll+ outside the Dixon Center.
The owners of that little restaurant were very very nice to me. I love their personalities! Adorable couple indeed.
(:

That's basically it. yeah.. shit day. embarrassed as shit. and feel super shit as well.

We had Mufti Day, Crazy Hair Day and sponsoring the World's Greatest Shave today, in order to fund raise for the school and the leukemia foundation. I'm guessing we raised over $1000? Good job guys!
I also had my Ext Maths exam today and it was absolutely, horrible.
This was mainly due to the fact that I was extremely sick with a case of bad cold. I finished half of the paper and just couldn't stand my sneezing and blurry vision anymore.. so I just walked out of the exam room and went sick bay. Now I can't redo the test cause I saw the paper ~~
I even stayed up all night studying for it...  This exam also had a weighing of 20%..
Depressing.....

好辛苦啊~~

Anyways I'm going to take some medicine and go take a nap since I have literally been awake for the past 48hr+ ~

Oh the weekends...
finally~~

-- this was meant to be posted up on the 12/03 but my net died while I was typing it up.. so here it is.

MY TONGUE INFECTION IS GONEEEE !
now I can eat, drink, talk, sleep again! (:
During the past 2-3 days while I was unable to eat solid food, I lost more than 2kg.
is that a good or bad thing?
o.o;

mmm.. I've also had a really unproductive weekend..
I was meant to study for the upcoming maths exam and write my commentary on the novel we're currently studying about in English.
But instead I ended up reading Manga and watching you tube.
OH how horrible... I just know i'm putting more pressure on myself through procrastination. T~T;

And I was also meant to go watch Alice In Wonderland with David and the boys today (his reason was so that it'd feel less like a sausage fest), but I slept in so...
I'M VERY SORRY !  -- I wanted to watch it very very much though.

I had my school photos today and every year, it's the same horrible experience ~
I don't know why but the photographers always say to me: "tilt your chin up"
But when I get my photos back, it almost looks like I was straining to look at the ceiling.
( 　ﾟ_ゝﾟ)

Overall, I know it's going to turn out really awful, so I hope I never get my photos back.
oh~ don't you just LOVEEEE school photos? （｀ー´）

Something very funny also happened while I was waiting for my photo to be taken ;;
I just walked into the toilets, and the whole bathroom was just full of girls fighting for a spot at the mirrors - of course to put makeup on and check on their hair etcetc....
All I ended up doing was walking out and start cracking up ~ Because you don't usually get that in co-ed schools.
ironic isn't it? （*＾＾）

Also, I have recently gotten myself a little infection on my tongue.
Now I can't eat, drink and speak properly.
OUCH.  (。_゜)〃
