Update: Yr 10 Formal

Omg, have not done an official update in such a long long time. I guess I'll upload some pictures from my formal night, because I really want to post something, sorry if you didn't want your photo to be in here xo

Basically, got ready took a long long time, and my table was completely messy. I laid out all my makeup and everything to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Here are some photos, that people keep demanding hehe. Not going to type much, I'll just let the photos do the talking. Well basically, everyone got an alternate dish, these were mine. Let's start with the food there.

Entree - greek salad

Main - risotti? 

Dessert - apple something lol. 

And then here are people shots.

With my man ;) I'm just kidding. x

Here is the venue.

And a photobooth picture.

That's it!

Enjoy.

Update: leWrap Plates && Baking Chocolate Muffins!

Today had tennis coaching in the morning. Was really pissed because I couldn't hit the ball correctly since the teacher had to change my grip. Hopefully will get used to it soon, because it's depressing when you can't even play a game. 

At lunch, had this really nice 'plate' from the store leWrap. It's so good! Filled with nice stuff. It was just called a plate, so no idea what it really is called, but basically there's meat with rice and sauce on one side and side salad with choice of sauce on the other. 

Then afterwards, went to my neighbour's place, Richard, to bake muffins. Since he was learning, and he had absolutely no idea how to make muffins, or ever baked them in his life before, we used cake mix. (: 

I know it says it's cake, but we didn't have a cake pan so we made muffins. ;D 

Anyhoo, we were adding the ingredients to the mix, and then we realised we needed butter. Turned out he only had this olive oil thing, which was really dodgy looking, so had to run over to my place to grab butter. BUT the mix needed 3 tablespoons, but we only had about 2 tablespoons. We didn't risk it for the batch, so we had less butter but for the icing, we had to use his olive oil blend thing. And surprisingly they turned out nicer that way. :D 

Before icing. 

After icing, this is at my house. (: 

He came over after dividing them equally, and we ate them at my place. (: They were honestly really good. Had to laugh at how much he was boasting, and how much I was standing there 'supervising'. Well, come on, I did help, but what's the point in doing everything, because he won't learn anything. :P

Anyhoo, it was super fun! I hadn't done anything with him in ages, so it was also nice to talk to him as well. 

So tomorrow is school, still haven't completed my essay, but half way through it. (:

Shall speak soon, thanks for reading!

Update: Science Prac, School Art Show, Friend's B'day & Drawings

Sorry for the long title, it's because I had a long week and haven't blogged in a while, so decided to compile all the highlights and stuff from the week. It's Saturday now. (: I can't remember all the things I did, but the photos will be in chronological order. (:

So in a science lesson, we are learning 'fighting disease'. Gruesome, and confronting but it's super interesting, in my opinion. (: So we were doing a prac on things that have bacteria, and basically we use a sterilized rod, and smear it on a dirty surface, and then wipe it over this jelly-like substance called agar, which makes bacteria grow, because it kinda 'feeds' the bacteria. Anyhoo, our group did my friend's sock, HAHAHAHA, I wonder what kind of dirty stuff would be in that - ;)

We had to heat up/burn the rods to sterilize it, and surprisingly it made this really beautiful green flame. Tried to take a picture of it but they kept burning out before my camera could focus. We burnt all of the rods and so this is the best one I could find because it had the most rods in it. ;)

It kinda looks like an aurora. ;3

On the Wednesday, there was a school art show after school hours, and so Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) and Eileen to have a look. I personally, was more interested in seeing the HSC works, because I'm considering doing Visual Arts next year, and wanted to know the standards. AND, I'm reconsidering, after looking at it, it's so professionalll, holyyy.

Little sneakpeak - with Julia's body in it, hahaha ;) ♥

On Thursday, it was Jennifer's birthday, and since she transferred to another school last year, could only Facebook and text her birthday wishes. However, Julia and I both planned to give her a present on Friday because I had Matrix. So on Friday, gave her these flowers which were really eyecatching. Really liked the idea of the tie-dye rose(?) in the middle. Happy birthday again Jen! ♥

♥

Oh! On Thursday night, started a drawing of Angelina Jolie, which was super hard and challenging, but it felt good to just concentrate on drawing, even though I didn't do much homework that night. Today, on Saturday, continued it as well, so there are two photos of progress right now. (:

Picture I'm trying to draw

Can't get her lips right - grr >:(

Today, after Chinese school, had to make an 'emergency' appointment to the dentist because I've been noticing my gum has been bleeding a lot and is swollen, and so I had to go and get it checked. Turns out I'm not brushing correctly, and it's perfectly common for people who have braces, so they gave me these really small brushes so I can brush better. Had a scare - thought it was gum disease or something, which it can turn into.

Not much to say, but really should do my English essay, but man, just can't be bothered - sigh.

Shall update again soon, making muffins with my neighbour tomorrow, hopefully can take photos of the final product. (:

Thanks for reading!

Update: Archery ft. old school besties && new purchases

Today met up with my old school besties, Ashly and Barbara as well with my sister at the Sydney Olympic Archery Centre and shot some arrows. ;D It was something unique and different to experience. The session was an hour and a half, and there were instructors there as well to help us. (: It was awesome, I really like archery. ♥

Was a beautiful day. (: 

Anyhoo, afterwards, went out for lunch and did our little grocery shopping.

This really cute stationary store, Morning Glory, was having a 50% sale off everything so grabbed some stuff. (:

Was running out of liquid tape so bought this cute iPhone correction tape thing, and some bed socks because I only have one pair at home and that's not enough. ;P Plus, it was only like a dollar.

Originally really needed to get these overgrips for my tennis racquet at Kmart, but they didn't have any ): And I couldn't find any...BUT, I found other stuff that was on  my list at the time. ;D Got a black singlet because needed one, and DUMBELLS. Because I really need to workout more. HAHAHA, sharing these cheap ones with my mum. ♥

Black cami. 

Those camis are insanely comfy for such a cheap price, hurhurhur. >: D

And got a 20% off iTunes gift card because I don't like to keep using my mum's credit card on iTunes just in case we get scammed. :D

$16. (: 

Anyhoo, not much to say, but I have tennis coaching tomorrow and badminton with my family. ;D

Really going out these last few days of the holidays, because I realised I was so cooped up in the first week doing nothing, HAHAHAHA. And on Monday just going to chill the last hours of freedom. </3

Oh and you probably noticed my outfit of the days have kinda ceased, it's because I've been wearing my Varsity jacket to death these days because I'm too lazy to think of something nice to wear, so please excuse my laziness. ;3 And tomorrow I won't be able to do it either since I'll be in working out clothing, so I'm sorry, but ah wells.

Love,
Michelle ♥

Update: City ft. Julia

So today ( Friday ) met up with Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) who I haven't seen that much  during the holidays and went to the city. We didn't really plan so we just walked, hahhahaha. We were so busy talking and we were just walking, that we didn't even know where we were heading til we both asked each other, HAHAHAH. ♥

So we ended up going to MarketCity. (:

Photo credit to Julia. (: 

Firstly, got some drinks from Easyway and Chatime. Mine is a passionfruit smoothie from Chatime - on the right.

So went to Galaxy World next to Chatime and played the Monopoly game which completely ate up all our tokens, lolz. So uhmm, just talked and walked after that and had lunch at the foodcourt, which was pretty nicee. (:

Went home early, and I must've been crazyy or something but walked the way home from the station. Was a complete 45 minute walk in the sun. But the weather was really nice so decided to walk it. (:

Anyhoo, that's it for now, thanks for reading!

Update: a Movie Day with Old School Bestieee ~

Don't have any pictures but basically went over to my friend's place yesterday ( Thursday ) to go watch a movie afterwards. (: Oh her name is Ashly, and we were super best friends in primary, but we don't go to the same high school anymore. I haven't seen her in about a year and a bit and we thought it'd be awesome if we met up again. When I was in primary, we had 4 people in our little 'group' and one of the them couldn't make it and we've lost contact with the other one. So only I could go. But it was stilll awesomeee ;D

So I went to her house early, and oh my goshhhh, her house is a freaking mansion. It is massivee. She has so many rooms, and it's only two storeys, not to mention a massive backyard and beautiful front yard. She has like 3 lounge rooms, two dining rooms and likeee 10 bedrooms. ;o And a laundry chute. Oh and a house maid. That's not even a quarter of it.

Anyhoo, was taken around for a house tour, god it's massive and her relatives live there with their kids, I think there's around 21 people living in that house. Not exaggerating.

So we chilled afterwards, and chatted for agesss before she showed me some kpop and stuff on her laptop. Her housemaid actually came up with this silver tray and lunch. God it was like being a queen, HAHAHA. Oh and lunch was amazingg~

So we left shortly after eating and walked to the cinemas and bought tickets to 'the Amazing Spiderman'. She'd already seen it, but she didn't mind watching again with me. ♥ We watched it in 3D, honestly I personally don't see a difference. ;P It was pretty, auh-mazing, even though I hate to admit it because I really love the original.

I think the reason why I like the new one slightly more, is because this one is slightly changed and modernised so it kinda suits me more. And this one is a bit more straightforward ish. (: And the plot is more based around science and stuff. (:

Anyhoo, afterwards, bought Boost and we chatted a bit more before I walked to the train station to go home. (:

That was basically it, but it was amazing to meet her again, and be able to catch up. (:

Sorry for this long post and no pictures, thanks for reading!

Love,

Update: Beauty Samples, Ramen, CAPS && Cake!

Okay, last night ( Saturday ) went to a family friend's place for dinner and to chill. Surprisingly, one of my family friend's there, she gave me a little box of gifts. And when I opened it, it was overflowing with beauty samples and stuff. Turns out she's really into buying stuff online, relating to Korean and Asian aesthetics and stuff, and she gets a lotta free samples with her purchases. Thought it was super nice of her!

It was packaged in this super cute Hershey's box, and I initially thought it was chocolates. ;D

Okay, lighting wasn't that good at like 12.30A.M. 

Bunch of BB cream samples, masques, eyemasks and cleanserss, and that's not even half of it. ;P 

Anyhoo, that made my day. (: Might be giving some away since they don't all suit me. (:

So their place is a burger stall that they own, which is awesome because we had burgers for dinner. (: Their burgers are really good, and so are their fries and nuggets, but I wanted to try their steak burger. So it looked really promising, but then it was super chewy and hard to eat, but tasted nice. ;D Next time I'm just going to stick with chicken schnitzel. ;D

It looked so goodd ~ ♥

I got home around 12A.M, which was super late, and just went to bed, lolz. 


So today, met up with yet another family friend, Catherine, to go eat ramen in the city together. She came over around 10.30A.M, and unsurprisingly I only had woken up a couple minutes before...-.-


Anyhoo, we played on my sister's computer before we left. They were playing 'Bubble Trouble 2' while I was changing, before I taught her how to play 'Boxhead 2'. I haven't played that in agesss, and thank you to Julia for influencing me with that game. ;D Changed my life, and let's play again sometime. ;D


So we drove there, and my parents just dropped us off. I took them to Ajisen Ramen and we all ordered our food. Catherine and I both got the Chicken Teriyaki Ramen, and my sister got a fried eel rice box? I can't remember what it was called. 

Chicken Teriyaki Ramen

So afterwards, paid and we went to take CAPS, which is an asian version of a photo booth I guess. 

After taking them, completely forgot to take a photo of the end product before we snipped it up, but here is my own little pile.

They wanted to go to Morning Glory afterwards so I tagged along and took some photos of the items that kinda interested me. (:

DOMO KUN. And his baby. ;) 

Cute angry birds mobile phone holder. (: Fyi, that's not my phone. ;P 

Cute USA American flag pencilcases. 

And straight after, met up with my parents again and we all went to Meet Fresh to have some dessert. ;D I'm so obsessed with that place. Always will be. ♥

My herbal jelly dessert. (: 

So afterwards, we went home and had my sister's birthday cake. It's my sister's birthday tomorrow! So happy birthday sis! ;D ♥

She got an icecream cake from Woolies, and it was really goodddd ~ ♥

The layersss. ;D 

Anyhoo, that's about it for today. Super tired after writing this post, sorry it was so long, but you know how I blog. ;P

Thanks for reading!

Love,

Update: Trip to DFO ft. Julia && new purchases

So today, had tennis training in the morning, and tried my best to beat my coach, but failed. :P

Anyhoo, got home and changed, then went to pick up Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) to go to the DFO ( direct factory outlet ) shopping centre. (: It has the cheapest crap there ever. ;P And you can pick up really nice bargains there. Oh this reminds me, I really want to go thrift shopping sometime soon. Anyways.

So we basically walked around, mainly went to our favourite stores. And I bought a pair of black cheap shorts from Cotton On since my old black shorts are starting to wear out and turning grey. It was only $5. I think it was really worth it. Tried it on in the store OVER my shorts, because couldn't be bothered to go to the changing rooms. Got many strange stares...

I tried taking a photo of them when I got home, but the lighting was horrible, and it just looked black and you couldn't see the details of the shorts.

They're really flattering, and they have this belt fabric thing that you can tie into a bow at the front. I'm so horrible at explaining, but I think you'll be seeing these in a outfit of the day post soon. :D On the tag, it says : 'Alison Tailored Shorts'. Love them already even though haven't worn them yet. (:

Oh nearly forgot, on a side note, I've already ripped my stockings, so going to get a new pair because they were really comfy. (:

Okay, so another item I got from Cotton On is a black tube/bodycon skirt. I know I bought a lotta black stuff, but really into the colour black at the moment. (: This skirt is kinda different, it's really texturised and everything. (: Didn't take a picture because of horrible lighting. Probably will see this in my outfits as well. (:

So for lunch, had this extremely filling asian cuisine thing. It was really nice though! Couldn't finish it sadly, and was really bloated afterwards.

Sweet sour pork and mongolian beef with boiled rice

Afterwards, headed to Westfield with Julia once again, because we ran outta things to get from DFO and wanted to get Boost Juice.

Also went to Dymocks with Julia, and she picked out some books, and I picked out a book which is a sequel to 'Bloodlines' which is so so good. And haven't read in a quite a while, and it was on sale. (:

The Golden Lily - Richelle Mead

Not much to say now, but thanks for reading! (:

Update: Lord of the Rings ft. Julia && Homemade Lunches

Today, had tennis training in the morning, played a bit longer than usual and then picked up Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) and got home.

So when we got home, just chilled a bit first, and went on my computer, and showed each other couple of songs and then watched the Janoskians on Youtube, for agesssss. Respect to themm. <3 Oh and they are very very attractive. ;3

Anyhoo, started cooking after that, and we prepared everything. We agreed to make a lotta food because my sister wanted to join in, on our little feast and movie. So agreed to make kebab skewers, fruit salad skewers and sandwiches. They were so friggen good!! ♥ We took a long time making stuff, but in the end, it was definitely worth it!

In preparation, everything set out on the table. 

Fruit skewers done! 

The meat skewers before cooking. 

Meat skewers after cooking. They were so difficult to cook, cos I kept burning them. 

SANDWICHES. Julia made these and they were the nicest sandwiches ever! I should get a sandwich maker. ;D

Since I was the one cooking the skewers, I personally found it difficult. The picture you see up there, is not actually how they turned out. They were black before, HAHAHA. Like really black, and made Julia cut the black stuff off, since the inside was nicely cooked, just the outside wasn't so nice. :P

We managed to watch most of the first 'Lord of the Rings' movie, but didn't finish it. Will watch it with my sister in our own time, and Julia might be coming over again next week for lunch and to watch the second movies. :D I'll keep what we're making a surprise. (:

Anyhoo, haven't updated in a while and I know I've failed the challenge, but I really can't think of 6 childhood memories, so might have to throw that one away. :P Also, there may be a full-day teacher's strike on Wednesday, so thinking maybe I can watch the end of the movie then. Also have a musical school performance that night that I have to go to, will post how that goes. (:

Last week til the holidays starting tomorrow. ;D Can't wait til I can bliss out. (:

Anyhoo, thanks for reading! Hopefully I'll have a nicer flow of posts coming through.

Love,
Michelle ♥
