★Remaining of 2008--- 永别咯★

Happy Birthday Shin!

Happy Birthday Sally!

Happy Birthday Chun!

Last 8 hours or so of 2008... and I'm on my bed typing this post...

was at Sally's yesterday night celebrating her birthday, and Chun's, 

and only just got home about 10am today >___<

I'm still dead tired, 

I still wanna go back under my duvet,

So why am I writing this post now?

Cause Von has to work on New Year's Eve night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Von doesn't even know if she's getting paid double for this!!!! >___<

I have to leave for work in half an hour time... 

and won't be back till next year...

For year 2008, I've brought some scars over for 2009... 

quite badly burnt my finger while cooking Christmas dinner,

now it looks like sliced hotdog =___=

But I'm ending 2008, 

feeling contented,

and

feeling loved.

I've done some shopping before and after Christmas,

and these are my proud items...

Got this Paul Smith shirt from Selfridges 

when they had the crazy discount vouchers all over the place before Xmas, 

so couldn't resist buying this clever one for B!

loving the collar detail!

Went to Vivienne Westwood on 27th, 

there was nothing much really this year... 

nothing that gives me that rush...

But my brother really wanted a new VW wallet,

so picked this one in the end, it's already the best out of the bunch ^___^

it does look pretty cool and practical, ain't it?

took one with flash to show you the colour, 

it's sky blue sometimes, and grey another time,

depending on the light...

压轴咯！！！

I told myself, I'm gonna get myself a really nice bag again this year... 

cause really Boxing day is the only time when you can get bargain quality bags ^___^

Ta-Ta!

Von's first Chloe bag!!!

couldn't believe I managed to find this Paddington bag

Usually it would have been snatched way before I arrived at Selfridges

Was struggling to choose between the many bags that I love, 

but thought this one might work well for quite a long while for me ^__^

Striving into the new year 2009 with a new bag~~~

P/S:    B, thank you so much for everything 

It has been a great year, 

and it just keeps getting better!

Love you de V! ♥

★Christmas Dinner 2008★

For the very first time in my life, 

I've had friends over for Christmas dinner cooked by me!!!

This is everything that me and Vera prepared!!! 

Vera did the salad and apple crumble (loved them!)

I made a daring first attempt to cook this whole chicken from scratch...

Usually I would buy a ready made chicken and pop it into the oven... 

It turned out surprisingly well! *proud*proud*

But, I've burnt myself quite badly though... sigh...

Some of my Christmas pressies that I've opened on Christmas night...

realise that everything is purple toned?

hmm...... lol

Group picture with Von's Christmas tree~~~

★Eve of X'Mas★

红的第一棵圣诞树

红色的球球，圣诞crackers， 巴黎买回来的蕾丝

终于树下有礼物了！

Took me so long to have finally done most of the christmas shopping 

'cause I've been either at work or in bed >___<

But I'm so happy to see all the presents under my first Christmas Tree

Some for me and some from me

我在Christmas Market买的

全家人都在哦！

圣诞树吊着圣诞树。。。“好冷哦，对不起！”

Christmas shopping 的时候买给自己的。。。超喜欢呢！

This Christmas, I wanted it to be peaceful and hassle-free 

Although I doubt that It'll be hassle-free, 

but at least I have them to spend it together with

I have so much in my mind these few days

都有难眠的现象了

好希望，B能快点没事

这是红，唯一的圣诞愿望

★受保护★

事情发生第二天，B才告诉我

本来满冷静地，消化了过后，我就吓哭了

心想，怎么会发生这种事情呢

真的心痛了，听了心疼，看了更心疼

真想立刻回去，

但，我人在的话，我应该当场就吓傻了吧

变得矛盾

我身在远处，也陆续被通知了

更了解，也更心疼，更气

气，是因为发生了这种事

气，是因为牵涉到我身边的人

气，是因为大家开始对我有所保留

气，是因为他们怕我担心

这事情，闹大了

不尽早有交代，就会不了了之。。。

B，别担心，我没事的

你要没事哦，你没事就好。。。

It has been more than 2 weeks since my birthday, and it's my bad for not updating on it...

Didn't really do much... 

I've had my party on my birthday eve at Tribeca's bed... ended up too crowded cause Sing.Soc brought everyone from their D&D >___< 

I think I only know half of the room... but it was a good night, not that I had 100% memory of it... ^___^

At least I was sobering up when I arrived at V-Hall for the next session....mainly was shocked because of the scene of the long looooong Queue outside my friends' flat!!! seemed like the whole of tribeca ended up at V-Hall....somehow...

Picture with the girls.....♥

Picture with the boys... and yes... BOYS!!!

With my personal makeup artist and hair stylist ^___^ DORA~~~ she did my hair and makeup, and made me looked like a princess~~~ love you!!!

Went for VERY late lunch with Vera, Kok and Vera's friend Bernie at Try Thai...Then had dinner with Grace, Sally and Ricky at Franklyn & Benny's.... 

I have no idea how did I managed to fit all those food into my tiny tummy...*sweat*

These are all my lovely presents from my lovely friends.... for a record, I haven't had a soft toy for a while now... hmm... I guess I've passed the age to receive toys...

Oh! Have to mention my first present from my brother, it's a necklace!!! the one right beside the eyelashes~~~

Dear Petra made this yummy chocolate tarts for me.... ^___^ 

How sweet can she be...*happy*

★Emo★

Again, today I went to town alone

 supposed to meet up with someone... but oh well... 

was not even sure why did I go to town again

 been in town alone practically everyday this week

at first it was ok, but then you do it too often that it's getting abit sad... 

i know, i know...I did mentioned in my previous post that I enjoyed going to town alone... 

Just let me be emo once a while =___=

I've been trying to avoid all those Christmas markets, 

cause they just make me fell worse.... 

but since i had to go to the bank in St.Ann square, I couldn't really avoid them >___<

gosh... don't I sound so emo?

couldn't stop myself from peeking at different stalls that I walked pass... 

wooden toys, chestnut, sweets, german hotdogs... 

all these are exactly the same as my first german market experience in Manc... 

oh! but shaking those snowglobes cheered me up ^___^ *pretty*

these stalls reminded me so much of the memories... that just stay as memories now...

Kinda made me realised that I've been here for too long, that it's about time I move to a new environment...

★Disney★

I've been wandering alone around town a lot lately... Sometimes with a purpose in mind, and then it just became a habit..... it might sound a bit sad, walking alone in town, with all these crowds around you. Don't get me wrong, I like walking in town alone... just not when it's too busy... ^__^

I walked passed Swarovski one day, and I had to stop and turn back cause something at the window display just caught my attention.... It's this Bambi collection that they have! I just had to walk in to the store and I was like OMG!!! Bambi!!!  and there THUMPER!!! oh and Flower the skunk!!! I totally adored them...I told myself, one day I'm gonna get them and have a pretty display area for them in my home....

Then,  of course there's a winnie the pooh collection as well... which has been out for a while.... but somehow Piglet looked even more cuter that day... did they have a new winnie the pooh collection out? Anyway, I thought this Piglet looked exactly like the one B got for me from this toy clamping maching in London....

totally irresistible.....

wait for me babies~~~~~~~~

★Neverending★

Been making a Balenciaga dress and finally handed in the garment and technology file last Friday. Been working on it since the term started, been in uni practically on every available days, and yet, I still didn't manage to finish everything on the criteria... I missed one out of the many... >___< 

but it was a big burden off my shoulders.... with a design deadline on the same day as well, everyone was stressing out *EEEK!!*

And people would have thought, handed this garment in and finally we could relax...

*WRONG!*

straight away we have a new design brief... and also 2 outfits to make!!! even though they are only due in early next term... but still!!!! >___<  

oh! not to mention that we have this Anthropometric assignment which we have 3 essays to write.....

hm... ok ok.. this blog is getting a bit stressful and boring...... 

let's get on to something more interesting~~~ 

my birthday is coming up~~~~~~~ can't be bothered to think of a new way of celebrating my birthday... so am just gonna stick to the traditional way, that's getting wasted!!!

booked a place for my party, so all my friends can just come and enjoy getting drunk ^__^ let's just hope that there's someone to carry me home.... *fingers crossed*

★I like......★

I like bags

I like rings

I like shoes

I like head-gears

I collect bags

I collect rings

I collect shoes

I collect head-gears

★Haaar..... loweeeen★

I know, I know...It has been half a month since Halloween night..... better late than never though... really wanted to show you guys the this year's halloween's little bits and pieces... 

Couldn't decide whether to go out or not, cause I've got sooo much uni work to do.... but Grace really wanted to go, since it's our final year in uni.... so, in the end...I gave in ^___^

Let me present..... Baby Witch!

Didn't have enough time to prepare for a proper costume or makeup... since we've only decided in the afternoon.... but still managed to get TuTu skirt and feather eyelashes..... ^__^ 

my brother thought I looked scarily weird... but others were like... "woooo waaah..." and stared into my eyes... *sweat*

We've decided to go pubcrawl.... in the end, we went to Tribeca and BaaBar in Canal Street.... then off to finish the night at Pure... where everyone is~~~

Mummy in Tuxedo with glowing necklace~~~ preserved in style.... ^__^

Bumped into John's friends on our way to pub crawl...loving that rock star look ^__^

Noticed the glowing straws? it's the stirring wand from the witch..... *wink*

Jason took this cool pic of me and Grace at BaaBar entrance.... damn cool yea?

Ivan looking original in this costume!!!!!!

Randomly stopped this guy to take picture with... why? isn't the reason obvious enough???

Me and Grace with our Jumbo Hotdog supper.... *muah*

★Comme des Garcons★

As mentioned in my previous post, I went for the Comme des Garcons' 

collaboration with H&M!!!

was supposed to go with Grace... but she ditched me >___<

was supposed to get there by 8am... but I only woke up at 8am >___<

BUT! I was lucky~~~

reached there at 8.45am.... and the Queue was shorter than I expected... but 5 min after I was in the Queue, it just doubled up... *phew* thank goodness I didn't have to Queue for long... since they are open at 9am~~~

They didn't have a lot of the garments, just some shirts, cardigans, trousers, trench coat..... I didn't spot any of the deconstructed trousers or skirts... which was very disappointing *sigh*

Anyhow, I still managed to get the bag and trousers  that I originally wanted... there was another pair of trousers that I'm soooo in love with!!! but it's a size 12... way too big >___< *sad*  It looked sooo good on a lady in the changing room...and she's a size 8!!!  *green with envy*

But I'm well proud of myself to be able to get hold of the bag!~!~! there were only 30 of them in store.... and that was the first thing I snatched when I got into the store *proud*

In the end, I left the store happily with 2 big bags... didn't plan for the shirts... but hey, my own salary I paid them with.... guilt free~~~  AND! they go perfectly with the trousers~~~

I've gotten these two, a shirt and polo for B... but they are M size... worried that they might be too big for B >___< 

so B, let me know whether you want them yea ^___^

Conclusion...... It was a bit disappointing.... not so much chaos though...and a lot of leftovers, like the basic plain  shirts and cardigan....might have been better if I went to the one in London... but I'm not that crazy.... Von is still sane!!!
