3 weeks later...

About 3 weeks since I last blogged..(i think). So what has happened?

- Became weight-obsessed.
(but not till the extent that I will go and throw up and be a bullimic/anorexic)

Because I found out that I have gained weight.. I have now planned to and also have implemented the following:

-Eat less sugar ie. no more drinking fruit juices or soft drinks. I just watched recently on tv that fruit juices, although they appear healthy and all, do contribute to obesity because it has high sugar. Don't believe me? check the nutrition facts on ur food package. Can u even believe that Ribena or Just Juice has more sugar than Coke? unbelievable for me. hehe. So, I have stopped buying my usual Ice lemon tea and Just Juice (apple flavour)

-Go to the gym at least 3 times a week. Need to burn burn burn!! the calories.

-Maybe eat meat twice or thrice a week only..hehe, hope that works lar. That means more veges and fruits. Do u know that u can substitute an apple for a meal. Not very good.. but I always try to make it like a snack. When hungry.. then I go eat apple.

-Not stuff myself. I used to eat until the point where my stomach feels like bursting. that's bad bad! and that's how I got a bulging tummy. So.. nowadays, I just eat till my stomach's just filled nicely. No more attempts to burst my stomach.

-Other than not making myself damn full, I'm also trying to not make myself damn hungry. u noe why? Because.. when u're really hungry right, then u eat, don't u think u'll eat more? To me, that is true lar. if u starve urself and not eat breakfast or lunch, then definitely u'll eat a heavy dinner. so what's the use of starving in the first place..right? So, from what I read, the right way is to eat light snacks, in between breakfast and lunch & lunch and dinner. Light snacks don't mean chips, chocolate and the junk food arh. Supposed to be fruits or low-fat yoghurt or salad ( haha, but i'm not a fan of salads :P).

- This next thing is not supposed to be necessary because it's my stupid instinct now to keep looking at nutrition fact sheets on all food packages/containers. I didn't used to look at the fat content and sugar content.. but now arh.. I suddenly go look at all the the nutrition fact labels on my food at home.. haha gila-nya. Then when I go buy food also.. go kepo2 look at those info.

hhaaha, my post should be named "Try these to lose weight".. but nolar.. it's just what i'm doing lar.. not asking u all to try... after not successful then I'm to be blamed. what else ah.. oh yah.

During world cup final match day, at about 2.30 am, I went and be part of a big big big crowd of Aussies who were supporting Italy. haha, so weird lar, i think there was only about 0.5% of Asians there. Feel so dominated by them. But anyway.. it was fun watching ppl look so dumb and at the same time so Loyal to their beloved Italy. Lucky they won too.. saw more craziness after that.








Trying to be superman?haha, don't look at the T V yea.. dunno why can't see clearly through cameraThere was this one man with his friends.. when goal that time.. he jumped like a maniac.. not knowing that the area he's standing at has limited space for him to jump.. until he stepped on my foot some more.. stupid ass!

Then some people illegally ignited their flares.. when the security came and make sure noone is hurt.. also no use.. they dunno who did it. So, during the whole time.. i think there were like about 10 flares being ignited.





Somehow, I feel that they are so nice and artistic. Bright red glow in the middle of the night


Up close


Yah, of course u know what they are all looking at

And who the hell will know that the match would last so long. Kinda tiring standing all night... waiting for what seems forever. But then the penalty kick part at the end of the match was fun lar.. exciting. Can see anxiety everywhere. Then when I got home, it's 7 am already. All the loyal fans driving their cars honked like crazy..continuously non-stop. everywhere u go, u hear it and they will be looking at u, seeking attention, and shouting like mad. Victory drives ppl crazy huh?



And that afternoon I had to go to a class at 1.45 pm... and guess what? I overslept and missed it. First day of third term some more.

Anyway.. back at school, as usual school work is piling up; building a mountain soon. Like never ending and everyday have to think of how to use time to the fullest.. cause it seems to be slipping away too fast. 3 weeks and I haven't started on my essay assignments yet.

* Quite into listening Shakira's "hips don't lie" and Nelly Furtado's "Loose" albums.

I think the long and cold winter days are gradually going away. At least that's what I felt (& also by observing the weather forecast everyday) and hope will happen lar. Cause I'm kinda sick of wearing so many layers of clothing already... and I hate it when the sky turns pitch black when it's only 5.15-5.20 pm.. so fast lar.. so depressing looking at dark sky. But at least today not so bad.. around 5.45 pm then only turned dark. So, I guess and hope summer's coming. I liked it when I first came to Melbourne. It was somewhere between summer and autumn.. And the sky was still bright and nice till around 8 pm. So much daylight, I like! BUT then I know I'll sure hate it when it's summer. sigh... when it's winter i like summer , and when it's summer like when i first came, i wished for winter. What the heck.. I want this when i got that.. sucks.

Holiday-ed

Hi all,

I have spent two whole weeks of holidays doing nothing useful and have wasted precious time. But nevertheless, I don't really care. Because I somehow feel that holidays are for resting not for improving any schoolwork..hehhe, that's bad. So please don't have that thinking too. It will ruin youu, really.. but still... haha i don't care la.

My routine has been sleep, wake up, eat, watch movies on pc and sleep again...and the cycle continues. I sleep most of the time..waking up late in the afternoons. However, there was once when i slept for 15 hours straight.. what a time waster I am. sigh!

But my holidays will never be completed without shopping. hehehe... what a money waster I am. Anyways.. last week, I went twice to two different places..far away in the suburbs. And today.. I unexpectedly went shopping again. There was this I don't know if u call a "shopping centre" but it's like a shopping centre.. which has a train station in the basement. It's called 'Melbourne Central'. And for so many months.. I didn't know there were so many shops there esp..clothing, shoes..etc etc, because I never explored the top or bottom levels further in.. the level where I always went.. only had restaurants all around and a fitness centre at the higher floor. So I was blur the whole time.. Moreover, the place is so much closer to my home that other shopping places like the suburbs. arghh.. not good. good that i discovered that but not good for future.. I'm afraid I'll go there and shop all the time.

Back to the shopping part.. I'm sorry yea, boys/men.. this part on is like more meant for girls to read.hehehe..cause girls like shopping right? Don't we, girls? haha, yeah.. I managed to snap some pics with camera phone. Felt so embarassed doing so.. cause I was alone the whole time. And some ppl seeing me take pics of the stuff in the shops look at me awkwardly like as if I was gonna steal the things in there. dumb ppl. So.. here goes my shop talk..

There's this shop called "Diva" which I stepped into for the first-time and alot of my friends have been there too..so dumb i didn' know about this shop. And I almost died when I entered the shop.. hahaha, not literally lar.. of course. Almost died of what u wonder? hahah, erm.. died of heart attack/excited-ness/happiness/thinking of how to not finish up my money until my brain explodes and i dunno what else.. hahah, unexplainable lar. Yea.. I LOVE the things there. Girls who like jewellery, like me, will love this shop too. So many varieties, designs, cool and nice too. I almost wanted to buy the whole shop..haha I wish! I had such a hard time choosing what to buy and almost grabbed everything.. until I have to SAD-ly eliminate one by one.




Hehe..i know u can't see them well.. just wanna show u what I saw lar. So u don't have to imagine.. haha

Bangles at the bottom



Pink and bronze





sorry if this is too much.. I just have to show u more of what i'm so crazy about







These are veryy trendy now.. necklaces that hangs down to ur chest with lots of pendants on each. Too bad I didn't buy one..I initially wanted to get one but it was eliminated. I might buy one of those another day.

Ok.. let's talk about what's in here in Melbourne and maybe in Brunei/Malaysia/Singapore or wherever too. I'm so excited to show my discovery. Discovered by observing ppl every now and then, Everywhere.

I realise that colours that resemble a sailor's uniform is Quite in.. but I don't really like it.

Let me show u.



Then Polka dotted clothing are kinda in too nowadays..but no pics

Then the hairbands



These used to be worn during the 80's isn't it? They're coming back here. Got stripe ones, polka dottted ones, cloth ones and many many designs but what u see here are the plain coloured ones. Actually in the shop Diva got lots...but didn't take pics.

Next, Skinny Leg Jeans. I got influenced and now love them too. I used to think they looked old. But now, after looking at hundreds of girls (estimately), I think they are very useful and look nice when u wanna wear jeans and boots (to me, it's the only kind of jeans that can fit into my boots) and also they make girls look very girly and nice when worn with flat "ballet-like" or round-toe shoes.




haha, okay enough of skinny-leg jeans.

errmm. another thing I noticed are sunglasses. Remember quite a number of years back, the "brightly-coloured lens" sunglasses used to be very famous. Like got blue, red, neon yellow and other colours. I remember I used to own a blue one and a two red ones.. of which I somehow have broken. I remember one of my red ones.. So sad man.. I didn't know it was on the car seat and 'Crack!'- I sat on it. Then I didn't really wanna buy sunglasses anymore since I always tend to break them. But after coming here for a week, and I guess again being influenced (by just looking at other people who were wearing them), I went and got myself a pair. But, don't get me wrong... not those brightly-coloured ones. It's those that I call "Big" sunglasses.. because they're quite huge; taking up a big part of your face. I see lots of people wearing those and so that prompted me to get one of the "Big" sunglasses too...hehe.

To show u what I mean.. Pics!

Then..




Woah! while searching for pics, I found this. Looks Almost exactly like the one I broke by sitting.. same colour some more.



Now..

Kate Moss

Britney Spears

Victoria Beckham

And lastly... Lindsay Lohan.



Notice her handbag. hhaha, MEtallic!! As I mentioned before in the tagboard, metallic stuff are soo everywhere. My favorite -bronze bronze bronze!! Anyway..err.. I also did mentioned flowy skirts before yea? haha, guess u know what those are. I always wanna wear them but must wait till summer then only safe to wear.. now winter (no snow, just low degree of temperature), wear and I'll freeze my legs only. Other things that I observed/noticed more and more people wearing and more and more shops selling both in Brunei and Melbourne are striped shirts and bohemian/gypsy-styled earrings. (* sorry if i'm outdated.. but the last time I was in Brunei those were selling at lots of places, dunno about now lar).

Because of the cold winter, I have also indulged myself in knitwear, scarves, gloves and trench coats. I know knitwear sounds like what only your grandmothers would wear.. but I still do like them.. depending on how nice-looking they are. Some can be quite nice..haha. And trench coats are sort of like jackets/coats that reach till somewhere near ur knee.. just imagine the movie 'Harry Potter'. U remember their coats? Yea.. trench coats are something like that but not as long as theirs. Theirs reach till the ankle. The trench coats one reach just somewhere near the knee ;-)

Ok.. I'll stop here. Damn, this is turning into a fashion report. I seriously could go on forever without stopping. I apologize if u're not interested in this post and find it a waste of ur precious time but thanks for reading anyway. hahaha I know not everyone cares much about what people wear at all.

Peek-a-boo!!
