Month of Edexcel and shopping!

OH HELLO THERE. After more than a month of blogging hiatus.

So if you didn't know, I was having my external exams for the past two weeks so I didn't want to spend time blogging. And I was mostly spending time cooped up in the house anyways.

Hmmm, going all the way back to a month ago.

Attended a second cousin's wedding in KL before heading back to Ipoh for sem break. Or study break! Apparently we met when I was four or something but I don't remember her! Heh, heh.

 Awkward stance heehee. Dad and the bride's father. Oh, and grandma at the side :p Apparently she looks like me.

Looks ats the cutie pies! lolol

Cheryl came back from Johor so we had to have a girls' day out and sleepover! :) Went to Tammy's Kitchen for lunch, then went to Parade to get Starbucks whee.

At Tammy's Kitchen, taken with Cheryl's tab.

 Emilia's name. Teehee! Dark chocolate, toffee nut and green tea!

 Sitting at Marrybrown cuz Starbucks was wayy too crowded. Cheryl making a phone call while that uncle at the back photobombs ahh!

Went to visit Miss Maria (our former piano teacher) at J'sic after that to have a chat. Lame orchestra was having a practice there! :D

Sleepover time! Stayed up until something like 3 am catching up, gossiping and stalking. You know, the usual. :p;p

Photobooth!

 Bam, Y U SLEEP? XD

Sleepy face bam! 


Heehee.


So went with the fam to Fraser's Hill just before new years. Stayed in Wavertree as always and Chewie was staying with a few other families just down the road! Whee. 

Chewie's family came over for tea and Chewie decided to stay the night to.. study.

Chewies!

This lasted a while.. not long!

Spent 12 am of New Year's creating hideous Sims on Sims 3! This one was named Skinny Kitty hur hur. Butterfly tattoos all over his body. 

 Dad showing off brother's writing after breakfast heh.

Anyways I seriously did nothing there but laze around. The number of episodes of Vampire Diaries and the Big Bang Theory I watched there! Oh, and a teensy bit of studying lah. Didn't even visit the town or go on ANY walks. Fail fail.

Oh wells, time to get back to KL for exams!

I actually moved apartments this sem, six out eight of us are Ipoh peeps! :D And one lecturer.. uhhh. Haha but she doesn't come out of her room it's almost like she doesn't exist. Boundaries are kept. So all's good.

My side of the new room! Gonna try to do something to prettify it more! :) Don't think I'll do a apartment tour for this place though.

Ze view from our room ;) 

 And this is something we realised. Roomies in 2008, roomies again in 2013! So we have to take more pics of brushing teeth!

Lolol wtf. 

Yep, this is what I do during exams.

So, exams were not good. Probably gonna have to retake Bio 1, which was the paper I was most confident about ugh. I was already short on time and somehow also managed to miss out the last question until there was only two minutes left to the paper so I had to answer the 5 mark question with some crap I managed to spew out in a rush. 

Math went well. Hoping to get 95+ and I'm most definitely not retaking. 

English lit was.. hahaha. Seriously, 3 questions, two of them long essays in 2 hours and 15 minutes? You torture us Edexcel. Spent all my lit study time rereading Wide Sargasso Sea and I couldn't even think of anything to write in the exam. Screwed it up. Dayummm.

So anyways, I finished with all my papers on Friday! Went out with Chewie for a facial and shopping after that :D 

Tried the fish spa at our facial place. Can't believe I did that so gross! All the little fish nibbling at your feet. Chewie claims her feet are like babies' bottoms hahah.


Wandered around Isetan looking at chocolate and cheese after dinner at the Heritage Village place. So our thing :p 

Hung out in Sephora looking at all the stuff cuz we'd been Sephora-deprived for a month! And deduced that only when you carry around the basket they give you with products you want to buy will the salespeople start to take an interest in you. Otherwise you're just some teenager lepak-ing around playing with the testers. 

Oh, and this happened that night. My masks lolol.

Swam the next morning with Chewie, Derek, Jeremy, Benedict and Candy! My first time swimming in 633 Residency can you believe it.

Went to Sunway Pyramid after that! My first time I've never been! D':

Had lunch/dinner at TGI Friday's. Not bad! :D mmm crispy fries.

Received this and a few other pictures on Whatsapp from my aunt about these two animal best friends. Hahaha cracks me up!

Like the nerds we are, spent the next couple hours looking around at lomography cameras and at the game stores. Oh yes, spent a looong time contemplating on this spur of the moment purchase. I'll do a collective haul at the end of this post.

Wandered around Topshop, Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkins cuz Chewie wanted to get CNY clothes. I was way too broke to bother looking around :( Met Meredith shopping with her friends in Parkson! 

Oh saw these adorable dresses in Zara! Not expensive for Zara but.. no $$ T_T 

Hitched a ride from Meredith's friend April to get to the LRT station to get back to Brickfields. Thanks! :)

Soo the next day, unbelievably, we went swimming again. And then, shopping again! This time to Pavilion and KLCC. Gah couldn't resist tempation and spent money again. Bought a new mascara, which is sort of justified cuz it's like the only one I use plus it was on sale :p

Fast foward again to the next day. Serjay's one-day-early birthday celebration!

Went to Midvalley for dinner! Decided on Chili's.

Told Serjay 'smouldering look' haha. Make all the ladies faint! :P

All of us!

Vivian and I. 

Our food! All shared out. The quesidillas nom nom nom.

 Saya dan Rachel!



The three peeps on the other side of the table! 

Giant sweetcorn for the birthday boy! 

Played killer after dinner haha! Ordered drinks but they seemed quite low on alcohol content heh. 

Serjay loves his beer! And.. the photobomber.

Haha wtf. Our wonder-who's-the-killer faces.

Serjay and his tiny complimentary cake hehe. Wasn't there cuz I'd gone with Vivian to send Rachel off and withdraw money.

Our bill!

Chewie the datin :P

Shopped around in Sasa and Zara then went for dessert at Delicious! 50% off cakes after 9 pm :D

 With ze Chewie!

Birthday boy and cake! 

OM NOM NOM. Chocolate cake, carrot cake and chocolate brownie :) 

Resident photobomber we have here.

Eat that cake woman!

umm random.

Yeeaayyy with the birthday boy! :D:D


Group pic! :)

Ahh so that's it for now. Haul time!

So yeah, this is what the extravagant purchase at Sunway Pyramid was. RM380 out of my own pocket!  My childhood dream fulfilled. and it's pink! :D

Purchase at Sephora! Complete opposite of the DS, I'd been saving up for a long time for this :D 

Wheeee so pretty :D 

Case from Typo! Always wanted a bunny case hohoho. They had so many other pretty ones but so expensive :(

Got the next three from Asos a while ago but didn't have the chance to blog about them so yeah.

 Yep, a new purse cuz my old one was all beat up. Can't hold as much though!

 Case for me phone whee. So I can swing it about when I'm out.

Got this too just because it was cheap. I actually ordered some jeans too which were the right size but not the right cut gah..

 And finally, dark Kit Kat! THEE best. :D Brought all ze way from Thailand by mum lolol.

Okie, that be all! Another long post. Perhaps I should try blogging shorter, more frequent posts in the future :/
