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: 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: Tiny Tower && Nails

Rimmel London 610 BLUE MY MIND && maybelline mini colorama 3 TUTTI FRUITTI

So not much has happened since I last updated. Yesterday ( Monday ) watched the last 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy - the Return of the King, on my computer because the disk wasn't working. It was such a good movie. Sad, but good. (:

Haven't been doing much lately, playing a lotta Tiny Tower. That little app is as addictive as ever! The first picture was taken weeks ago. I've also been cheating a lot on that. But the first time I did it, I didn't know it would screw up your game if you changed the time back. So I searched online and found out that you had to stock every level FIRST, then close it, change your date/time and open it again, and it would be working normally. (:

So little mishap there. ;P Also yesterday, painted my nails since the beginning of the year, with a new colour Julia ( www.littlemisscrayons.wordpress.com ) had given to me as a gift. I can't remember if it was a birthday or Christmas gift. Or neither. HAHA. :P Ah well, the colour is kinda like a deep indigo/violet and looks really nice. (:

But then TODAY, I got bored of it, and just added this really sheer glittery kinda nail polish on top. And NOW it looks really nice! It's like a duo chrome of purple and blue with rainbow glitter. Makes me really happy when I look at them. (:

I know the first picture is edited, so the colours are off, but it was for your eyecandy. ;)

Well, not much to say. Really need to finish off writing my Japanese notes now. (:

Thanks for reading!

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! (:

In the Search for Kiwis: PART VI

On this morning, woke up early - 6.30A.M and went to watch the sunrise after getting ready. It really was something, especially when the clouds were right above where the sun was coming up, so the light that reflected back had bits of pink, orange and yellow. ♥

Edited this one on Instagram but below is one my dad took, unedited. (: 

So after breakfast, we packed our bags to leave, and we went to another place where we could feed and mingle with alpacas which are so cute. Anyhoo, here are some pictures. (:

After buying some things over there, we headed to Christchurch to have lunch. However, since we were leaving to Australia that day, we had to depart our tour guide and join with another guy to tour a bit of Christchurch before heading towards the airport. We went to a botanic garden which was really nice. (:

So we headed off to the airport, said our 'goodbyes' and 'thank yous' and chilled before our gate was open. Got our luggage checked in and everything, and just looked around the shops. There was this really cute vintage looking store named 'Toi Toi' or something and everything inside was so cute but expensive. I seriously wanted everything there. Edited photos I took instore with Instagram. (:

Really really want that bag. The price? - $300 something. 

 Really wanted this mug but was really really expensive.

Cute SCRABBLE mug. 

Anyhoo, we had dinner on the plane which I actually forgot to take a photo of. Watched 'The Darkest Hour' and some of 'Immortal' on the plane. Such good movies! ♥

In the Search for Kiwis: PART V

We started by travelling to Dunedin, and by the time we got there, it was time for lunch, so we had lunch at this nice Chinese restaurant, again. Then we had free time to 'explore' the city. They had really nice cathedrals and what not. ;D

My dad took this photo, isn't the lighting something? ;D ♥

So after looking around, we drove to the 'World's Steepest Street' to walk it. And buy a certificate for it. ♥ It was definitely hard to climb it, it was seriously steep. The street is called Baldwin Street. ;D

From here, you can see how steep the road is by looking at the angle of the houses, LOL. 

And how it looks about half way up the street. 

The view was amazing as well! ♥ 

Afterwards, we drove to some beach that before the sun set and they had the most interesting rocks ever, LOL. They were really round, and one of them was broken and you can also say their relatively hollow. :/ Stood on one to take some photos though. (: 

The rock I was talking about. :P 

The rock. ;D So round. ♥

So after that, we went to a lookout to watch the sunset before heading off to watch these penguins come onto the beach. The cameras couldn't focus on the sunset, and we weren't allowed to take photographs of the penguins, but they were really cute. After watching them, we went to dinner at another hotel, which was steak which sides. It was so good, since I love my steaks medium rare! ♥

Anyhoo, chilled in our rooms afterwards, and went to bed. (:

In the Search for Kiwis: PART IV

We left kinda early this time, and headed to some place called 'Mirror Lakes' where the water is so still and clear, it's like a mirror. To an extent, yes it does look like it. (:

It does look like a mirror doesn't it? ;D

We went to go to this creek and filled our bottles up with the pure spring water. It tasted so pure, and really nice! Just different.

Anyhoo, went on another cruise at Milford Sound, but this time on an actual cruise ship with a lunch buffet. The buffet food was so good! And the view was gorgeous, so food + view = heaven. HAHA.

The cruise. (: 

My lunch. ;D

The view. (Y) 

On the way back to shore, we spotted a really cute seal on the rocks. ;D

After we left, there was this massive brick of ice and snow that was in this area, don't know where, but took photos of it. (:

Then we drove to some other river/creek and it was beautiful as well!

When we got to our hotel afterwards, we had freetime for a while and we went to the beach right next to the hotel and it was really beautiful! ♥

We had dinner afterwards at another Chinese restaurant and went off to our rooms.

Thanks for reading!

Love,
