Topshop Student 20% off excitement!

So for all Topshop lovers out there, if you didn't know, Topshop had a special event catered specifically towards us poor students! xP
20% off on all their stock between 6-10pm on specific days depending where you are in the UK. Although it started 2 weeks ago, there are still a few places doing it this week! Soo.. if you're interested, check out their facebook event!

So in Leeds, the event happened last week for 2 days. I went with my friend to check it out on wednesday. We got there at about 5.45pm and the queue was already like a mile long already! o_O; But luckily... as soon as they opened their doors, it moved pretty quickly. But as you imagine, with a queue that long... the place was pretty crowded!

I managed to find 2 pieces of clothing that I quite liked.. but the queue to the changing rooms was maahoosive, so they had to direct half of the line towards the Topman changing rooms which wasn't so bad of a wait after all!

So enough talk.. here's what I managed to get.

An oversized knitted shawl cardigan 

Drape pocket Hareem trousers 

The two combined was £78 but with the 20% off, it came to £62.40.. T_T My bank account is running dry far too quickly nowadays! But since I spent over £50, they gave me a free fabric Topshop bag with a few goodies such as a mirror, sweets and some face cream. =))

I've never actually bought any trousers from Topshop before, and the idea of hareem style never really appealed, but for some reason, I really liked the ones I bought! 

But yeah.. I can't afford to spend anymore now. I need to start living like a hermit again! xP 

I'M IN UNI BABBBYY!

Again... LONG NO SEE for the Nth time!

I'm now well and alive in universityy! =)) I moved in about 3 weeks ago, but it feels like I've been here for MONTHS!! In short, my experience here has been nothing but amazing! I have the nicest flatmates and I've met the greatest of all people hence the lack of time I have updating this blog! >_<

My perception of university has always been party party party.. and yes, it really is.. LOL! Work is starting to pile up.. if you don't know, I'm doing Economics and Geography with Japanese as one of my electives. Sooo, you can imagine the workload I'm getting atm! AHHH!

oh wells.. as they all say.. work hard, play harder! hahah xP

Surprisingly.. my layout comes with an ASK page where people can ask me questions.. (formspring stylee.)

Late Update!

my room is in the midst of cleaning.. xP

You know you've been slacking when you always feel like starting each entry with the words.. "long time no see". Ah mann, sorry. I haven't had time lately to blog and I've sorta been losing inspiration!
Someone inspire mee! =)) -- maybe another ulzzang post soon? Since most of my visitors only visit my ulzzang posts. >_<;;

I know I promised to update my Hong Kong trip.. (which feels like it happened a lifetime ago!!), but something went wrong with the photos.. and I'm having major difficulties with uploading, so.. maybe another time, when people are still interested. haha!

So just to update a few things since I last posted..  I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY! and I can't wait to move in on the 15th!! =)) I spent countless nights worrying about results, I'm just so glad its all over now! It's time to start the next chapter of my life!

Other than great news however.. comes the sad news.

My "Sister" also known as Jessica Yeung left a couple of weeks ago to China for her year abroad. T_T Yep.. A WHOLE YEAR. oh mann. I'm going to miss her so much! I regret not taking enough pictures and spending enough time with her. But I'm glad she spent her last few days in UK with her BEZZIES (lol!) Annie, Mel and I. =))

To Jess;

I hope you read this... ! =)) Its truly sad to know that I won't be able to see your face again.. till next year! T_T But I'm sure it will pass incredibly quickly, and you'll be back in UK before you know it! 

I wish you all the very best and keep me up-to-date with your daily adventuress! =)) and obviously continue our amazing game of 'Word Association' with Annie just to wind her up! pahhaha! 

Love youu 

xxxxxxx

Just to end this post.. I'm going to link you to 2NE1's teaser to their song 'It Hurts' -- I can't fricken wait till their album drops!! =))

Random Banter: Facebook Stalking

I'm backk! Back from sunny and humid Hong Kong to rainy depressing England! I've actually got many entries of my holiday to post, but since its taking forever to upload photos they'll be sitting in drafts for now. =))

But today is just going to be some random banter from me...

Recently, I met up with a distant friend whom I rarely keep in contact with. It was really good seeing her again since I haven't spoken to her in such a long time! Obviously during one of these catch-up sessions, you would expect to have a lot to talk about ie. whats been going on in your life since you last saw her, what you're doing next etc. But what I didn't expect was the fact she knew most of the things I did anyway even without having kept in contact! 

How? 

Through Facebook stalking. -- An unhealthy act which facebook users inevitably do once in a while.. (or regularly..xP) 

C'mon.. who's NOT done it? 

I confess I've done it countless of times.. a bit of stalking doesn't hurt (unless you're going to the extent of pedophilia.. =S). But what really worried me was that after every tidbit I told her, she would go somewhere along the lines of.. 

"ah, yea.. I knew it was that.." and I'd be like 

"Erm.. really? how?" and she'd say

"Oh, facebook's my source ;)"

So from that, I got the idea that I'm either being WAYY to open on facebook, OR.. she's a REALLY good facebook stalker. 

Personally I'm not sure whether its a good thing to claim you're a facebook stalker to the person you're talking to.. especially when you're catching-up and all. It would just run the conversation a bit dry don't you think? But thankfully, I do know her and she's an incredibly sweet person =)) otherwise, I'd be a bit freaked out if I was talking to a random-er and they'd be like "Oh I Know what you've been up to ;)". But the conversation overall turned out well since I didn't know a lot about what she was doing. =)) 

But yes.. that was all I wanted to share really.. the knock-on effect of facebook stalking onto your 'external' social life. Obviously its going to be different depending on the person you talk to and how much stalking that person does but I'd actually like to give my friend props for owning up to facebook stalking! Because I'd never have the guts! hahaha! =))

Feel free to share any of your facebook stalking experiences! xP 

Peace! <3 

Korean BBQ

credits*picture taken from openrice.com

Oh dearr. I haven't really been keeping track of what I have been doing lately! I've been busier than expected and internet has been very temperamental! xP
Since its been so long from my last update, I'm just going dedicate a post to a specific subject.. that way it becomes more orderly (how I like it xP) and easier to write about. So in this post's case... KOREAN FOOD!! hahhah

Its been a tradition for me to eat Korean food in Hong Kong since the summer of 2007, and its not just ANY Korean food, but Korean BBQ at Jin Luo Bao (I think!) located in Causeway Bay (if you're interested... lol). Although pricey.. its so WORTH it, considering I only eat it once a year.. !!

Basically I just choose a selection of marinated meat for the BBQ (as seen above), and it comes with a variety of side dishes i.e Kimchi =)) Rice and soup are also included.. along with ice-cream for dessert. I'm so good at making it sound tasty... hahha but trust me, its the best Korean food I've ever eaten! xP

Lim, from the Wonder Girls has also been there!! I saw her autograph on one of the Wonder Girls' posters! Sadly no picture to prove it >_<;; there were people queuing in front who were blocking the view!

During that week, I met up with my Aunts whom I haven't seen since I was about 3 along with their 11 and 12 year old daughters! Since they've never had Korean food, I took them to a Korean BUFFET so they could choose what they wanted to eat.
Bear in mind, I've never actually been to this place before, so I didn't know whether the food was going to be good. But OMG, since it was a buffet, I literally had an EAT-TO-YOUR-HEART'S-CONTENT fest. I think I must have gained at least 10lbs after that night!! oh dearrrr! But I tell myself.. "whats the point in not eating when you go back to HK?! If you do that.. you might as well NOT GO! Theres too much good food to not miss out on! xP
And to make myself feel even better... I just tell myself that I'll lose it when I go to uni since I applied for self-catering! PAH... we'll see how that goes. xD

Anyways back to the food... can't say it was as great as the one I usually go to, but it was a situation where you 'pay less for more'. xP

Since I was too busy eating.. I forgot to take pictures.. HAHHAH. So I'm afraid I've only got that one picture to show!

Till the next post! =))

I fell asleep in Starbucks.

DAY 2 

So today was yet another very hectic dayy.. I was meant to renew my HK ID and China visa card but that didn't happen. The booking was full at the HK ID place and this consequently led to the failure attempt in renewing my China visa card (because my HK ID wasn't updated) despite having waited 2 and a half hours in the queue!!

oh ma gaad!

But it all got better after that, because I got to spend the rest of the day eating sushi and shopping at Sha Tin shopping Plaza. =))

Look at all this sushi! HEAVEENN!

During shopping, I was specifically on a hunt for Dollywink products! I always seen them around on the internet, but never in their actual form, so I got really excited when I saw a STASH of them sitting nicely on a promotion shelf in a Japanese department store. =))

I got the liquid eyeliner, pencil eyeliner, eyelash case and eyelashes in 'Natural Girly' No.3. I'll be doing a separate post on this once I've had a test on everything. =))

Other stuff I got included a Majolica Majorca Blush, a trio of Skinfood masks, a KATE green eyeshadow palette and a Japanese ViVi Magazine with Kana Nishino on the cover. =))

You know how I said in my last post that I wasn't suffering too much from jetlag? Well.. I take that back. haha. I was SO tired yesterday.. SO tired that I had to sleep for an hour in Starbucks. How embarassing.. ! But obviously my trip to Starbucks couldn't be without a Green Tea Frapp (first picture). Oh how I wish we had this back in England.

Later on in the day.. I met up with my family again. Brother and Sister both came back with really Hong-Kong haircuts. haha.

So another day awaits meee.. Still have so much to do! See you in my next post! =))
