christmas and then boxing day and what comes after- recovery

christmas eve

i woke up at zeke's house only to be picked up by my father and brother to head over to quarantine.

today was the day.

Max got sprung


and then spoilt to bits and pieces
and yes, the big as german shepherd is a house dog.

and then we had dinner with the family and some family friends..

and then the highlight.

present opening time XD

presents to me:
trench coat + knee high boots (dad). necklace (jun). diamond necklace + earring set(mum). MAC fake lashes (yin). chocolate (dad).

presents from me & zeke:
chess set (zeke's dad). cufflinks + tie (my dad). Salvatore ferragamo perfume (my mum). little photo stand thing that zeke made and i suggested (zeke's mum). cartilage piercings (shan). swavroski necklace (yin). domo pillow (shi). monopoly set (jun).

since there was a monopoly set..

mum, yin, jun and i took advantage of the situation and played monopoly till our eyes popped out of our heads.

christmas day.

a blur of waking up. having anisha and richie come over.. playing monopoly..having dinner with them and then going back to their house in preparation for ..

boxing day

(but of course not before a bit of gossip and catching up and stuff like that)

we got up at 4ish (yes thats right bitches) for the 5am Myer opening but Myer was the biggest dissapointment. i only bought two lip glosses and didnt even buy lingerie!

we then headed back to richies for a little nap and then headed to Essondon's DFO for MORE shopping :)

a little more successful this round with bits of Elle Macpherson lingerie and a new dress.

all in all i spent about $80 when everything on original prices were over $350.

i went back home and crashed completely.

until about 9pm and then couldnt sleep after =.=

the day after ; recovery

woke up and headed straight to tutor. got home. played monopoly (again) for an hour with the faimly and then headed out to work at satsuki.

work ran late.

we're talking till 11.30 but so worth it.

i took home about $150 for a very not busy, fun filled night.

and i even got to bring back heaps of food!!

the day after ; still recovering

.. stay tuned :)





hope everyone had a great great christmas and will have an even better new years!

mum's santa!

the big ho ho ho

Merry Christmas eve !


oh wow. thats dizzy-fying.

♥ Lynn

cuff me

i'm utterly horrible at saving money. its terrible! and its not as if i really buy heaps of things for myself, i just tend to spend money on things that are a little.. not so selfish. and no, its not some kind of 'praise me' post.

its more of a, if i didnt buy my family dinner (enter number here) i would have saved (enter amount of money here).

ugh!

i really dont even think that they appreciate it.

i mean, its not the point of whether they appreciate it or not, thats not why i did it. but it would be nice.

i bought my dad's present today.

all i need now is my mother's present and i am so stumped there!

jebus!

♥ Lynn

christmas bonus!

did i mention i love love love working at satsuki?

i got a christmas card from my bosses today.. with $100 stuffed inside.

NICE

♥ Lynn

eternity.

so today i went off to Doncaster with the family for a little bit of 'scouting'

*the tree looks damn barren, i'm sorry, it was taken mid decorating

scouting for things that people might want.

seeing that i've done most of mine, you would think that i got to sit back and relax..
but no.

i've got to look for something for

• my sister

i sort of feel mean about giving her A birthday and christmas present but she was such a bitch about the price of the present that i dont know if i even should bother buying one for her- i mean, who takes out a calculator when they find out the price of the present, divide that price by 2 and then divides it again (because the present is from zeke and me) and then scoffs at the price and says, you're only spending THIS much on my christmas present?! jebus christ. come on! give me a bit of credit here..i bought you something from freaking swavroski and when i gave it to you, you freaking cried because you didnt want something so expensive and then you go and do THAT

i swear i just wanted to smack the bejebus out of her.

• my mom

i thought maybe the coasters she liked but its so not personal and come on!its such a family present and not so much individual. meh. what do you get for the woman who raised you?

• my dad

cuff links? i dont know!! HELP!

on the bright side, i got a present for my bosses already so i can breathe easy there.

and i went back to look at those shoes that i saw and i decided that they were overrated.. what's not over rated are the BEAUTIFUL pair that i saw at (Zoe) Whittner's for $170. the irony, i held back from buying the $70 pair from Novo but ended up falling in love with a pair more expensive than the first. bejebus me!

***

i have decided that once i've saved ***** amount of money, i will reward myself to one of these:

• half eternity ring- diamonds in a princess cut
  

• half eternity ring - diamonds in emerald cut
  

• eternity ring in princess cut (small)
  

• eternity ring in princess cut (medium)
  

*side note: who.. i didnt really notice the faint tan lines on the fourth finger until now O_o

also, i realize the diamonds are blurry-my hand was shaking! i cant wait to buy myself one of those babiess!!

the return of -

my first visit to CHINAbar and it was shiteous to say the least.

i ordered Hainanese Chicken Rice and the soup was too salty, the rice was dry and salty and is obvious it isnt fresh and the chicken was so fatty and rubbery!

ick.

never again.

***

christmas present for mum and dad and i have no idea what to get them - why do they not, at least, hint, what they want? when i have kids i will hint my butt off!!

♥ Lynn

if i were your vampire..

so after thinking about it and having some people tell me that the book is pretty good..

i decided to buy myself a copy of 'twilight' yesterday before work

here's my verdict, its a sweet and a pretty good book, i love how it starts out in the begining but towards the climax (it was a climax) but it could have given a tad more oomph(!). the book did leave me wanting to know more and what happened (or is it mostly because i'm just curious?). either way, i'm going to be reading the next few installments :D

i love how she (stephenie meyer) changed why vampires cant go out in direct sunlight and stepped out of the vampire square. i loved how wonderfully simple and complex she made their (edward and bellas) relationship seem. it reminded me of first loves and all that..

anyway, back to my interest in the next few books..(this is the part where the christmas wish list comes in..)

the pink heart

last last christmas i wished for this necklace


i was supposed to get it this year from isaac but he wasnt discrete enough and i figured it out mid exams :)

i'm afraid to press anything else

after 'getting' shan's present, zeke and i went over to take a look at the display at myer

you know how every year they have different decorations at myer?

this year was all about santa really works - 'he' does have to go to school and such (which i thought was an adorable [and plausible] idea - come on! santa doesnt live forever and how would he be able to get presents to everyone in the world without some help? -lets just ignore the fact that rudolf doesnt even exist )


















anyway, today yin and i went out for a little bit of shopping..

starting at melbourne central, stopping at a quaint little sushi place for lunch and then heading over to the basement..

then we went to supre and i bought NOTHING even though i partially fell in love with this maxi dress.
but it didnt look flattering (maybe because its a size too big and i've put on weight =.=" )

and i also tried on this top
but why state the obvious?

then we headed down to ze ligerie shop to buy lingerie and this is the pile of stuff i tried on (or tried to try on with my limited time frame)
i left the shop with 3 vavavoom bras :)

and then we headed to cotton on to try the gladiator sandals and i couldnt decide which one to get.

dont judge me. i forgot to paint the other leg because i got distracted and then forgot and you should get the point.
didnt end up getting either because i really couldnt decide.

random pictures from ages ago :)

my hot chocolate at choclatte (camberwell)

Christmas Eve

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!

anyway, the day was spent last minute shopping with Yin at Boxhill for presents for Dad, Mum and Jun.

you know how they say that Christmas is the time of Love and Compassion..

so i thought that i would make a thank you, i really do appreciate you, i love you list

yin for being the little annoying bitch who just used my bed sheets. thanks for always being there when i first _fill in the blanks_, for being there when i cry, laugh and need to shop for lingerie; especially lingerie because no one else would be as sporting as you are.. =)

zaneta for being the person i can always turn to..

.. who's MIA.

i havent forgotten you so please please please let me know you're alive somewhere.. i miss you zanie :(

isaac for always being there through tears and laughter, when things get tough and unbearable, for spoiling me, loving me, being that someone that i can rely on no matter what it may be, for making me believe..

i love you..

see ann for being my bitch, someone i can really talk to and sing with and can share whatever with.

there are alot of other people i'd love to mention but i'm lazy :p so all you other guys out there, james, kalus, ashley, jess, andrew, jonathan, john, mj, fly.. you guys are the best and i might not always show it.. but i heart you guys heaps.

MERRY CHRISTMAS BITCHES :)

ho ho ho

so i was dragged out to my brother's speech night tonight..

funny that i never attended my own but now...

anyway, i got dragged along for the boring event ..

.. but the little kids singing christmas carols charmed me ><

come on, ''you better watch out, you better not cry, you better watch out i'm telling you why, santa claus is coming to town!" kinda makes you wanna sit by the christmas tree with all its twinkling lights. well, only if its sung by really cute first years.

maybe christmas is alright.

just maybe.

yeah whatever, dont get your hopes up.

i still dont like christmas.

much.

if something meant something then would it mean anything now?

waking up at 3 pm has its advantages..

.. and disadvantages.

for one thing.. i actually get to catch up on sleep.. but miss out on half my day even if i know i wouldnt have done anything productive if i did wake up early anyway.

yawnnn

now i'm so damn lethargic its not even fun anymore

meh.

lazing around in bed makes me feel so useless after working so much for the past 5 days.

suddenly monday and tuesday has become my saturday and sunday.

christmas is coming and i know i should start feeling a little festive but i just feel like taking a fork and stabbing all those damn christmas carolers around, chucking cd players and radios into a pond and wrapping up empty boxes as christmas presents.


ugh..

i hate always going through the icky fucking mess of christmas shopping.

ICK!!

when you exchange gifts with someone, you'd feel bad if the gift you gave them is cheaper than the gift they gave you; not to mention that you also feel bad if it's the reverse.

"omigodddddddd!! a ps3!! i.. uh ... thanks ... i got you a bag of chips." before hastily adding "while you wait for the other half of your present..." or

"Oh wow! thanks.. a $2 photo frame!" before muttering under your breath that they're such a mother fucking cheapskate and start thinking if you can steal the present you gave them and get it refunded.

how many of us are guilty of 'organizing' our christmas presents?

if we calculate how much to spend on each person, doesnt that mean that we're basically putting a price on their worth or your love?

"how much is Tony worth? $50? $10?"

there's always the agonizing over what to get for your boyfriend/girlfriend

even more pressure when its the first christmas together or if they used to date someone who earns more than you and would buy extravagant gifts

"oh i thinks that guess watch would look nice on the boyfriend...oh what? its only how much? waaahh.. so cheap!"

while you sit there twiddling your thumbs thinking that its 435678765456 times of what you could make running about serving bastard customers who expect you to know that they're vegetarian when they dont bloody say so

and if you get them something cheap or make something at home, of course he or she would say, "you don't have to get me anything, or spend that much money on me..just as long as we can spend christmas together/you love me"

its sweet but doesnt that just sound a little like bullshit?

its my blog and i can be angsty if i want to
