When its almost time for me to head back to Malaysia to visit family, friends and all the lovely people, I always work up quite an appetite to shop. 

"Do you really need another 2 white t-shirts? Or that pair of earrings?"

Questions I ask myself all the time. But the shopaholic side of myself always gets the better of me. Secretly forming a list inside my head doesn't really help to tone down this addicting habit. These are some of the shoes that I've been eyeing for some time now. They fit in perfectly into the simplistic wardrobe that I am recently very into. Times like these I wish I have a money tree growing at my backyard.

So it's been awhile. September is such an interesting month I must say, much to look forward, much to appreciate, mostly much to do.

Weekly updates:

1. Brotha's graduating in less two weeks! and he has his High School formal to look forward to. We've been waiting for this moment for such a looong time. Finishing high school and HSC soons. Finally free in a couple months! Woooot.

2. I signed up for Fitness First last couple weeks. Its a brand new gym around uni, so I'm still anxiously waiting for it to have its grand opening (3 and a half weeks!). Yes. I am very eager to start my gym journey.

3. Mid semesters holidays happening next week. Made it half way into the whole semester. Gahhhh. I can see meself being home sooon. Need to sort of my flight ticket very soon.

4. Will be flying over to Melbourne in 3 weeks. Bimb's birthday. Can't wait.

5. Like everyone else, I got sucked into playing Sims Social. That game is evil I tell you. I cannot stop playing it. Thank god my laptop is ancient and it takes forever to load, so I got quite annoyed at that and it stopped me from being on the game 24/7.

6. My skin is quite terrible at the moment. I've ran out on my Naruko supplies and whatever drugstore replacement I bought after does not work for me at all. So now I've got the whole package: breakouts. hyperpigmentation, acne scars, white heads, enlarged pores, you get the picture. I am contemplated to make another order from Naruko, but I just cannot justify spending $400 again. That's a lot of money, and I need to save for Melbourne and wherever I am going later during my summer holiday. So right now, I am going back to basics, using natural ingredients for my homemade remedies that I've learned off youtube. I will definitely follow up on that soon.

7. Winter has officially ended. Best time to shop for winter next year.

Abrupt end.

Five years (or less) ago, I always thought I can never pull of using a lipstick, lipsticks and me are never meant to be. Today, I take back what I've said because right now I am absolutely in love with matte lipsticks!
I love how simply, effortless and hassle-free make up can be in the morning when you are running in a rush.No more fiddling around with gel liners or mascara. All I need right now is foundation, powder, bronzer/blush, lipstick and I am good to go. Wonders! Can't wait to add a couple more exciting shades to my sad sad collection.

So. It HAS been awhile.

this morning I have words, sentences running in my head. What am I going to write, how do I feel, or is there anything that I'd like to share. Three hours later, I still got nothing.

My one month escapade back home is now over, I am back at where I belong and life has to go on. and sometimes, life sucks. One month. reunited with some of the most important people of my life, dined in the most fantastic places, had pretty much everything that I was craving for, went to Singapore, shopped like I was gonna die tomorrow, enjoyed the luxury of driving myself around. going home usually meant having all sorts of good stuff thrown your way.

Four months I told myself, hang in there for another four months, and I'll be back to all the goodness life can offer.

For now it is all over. those nights slugging away with assignments. and those days with my body function purely on energy drinks and triple shots coffees. and those afternoons cramming every bit of information into that little brain of mine. Boy am I glad to have a temporary bid farewell to those days. 

Right now I am home. Taking time off and living the rightful life of a 21 year old woman. spending afternoons in shopping malls sipping coffee and eating cakes. travelling to neighboring countries to take advantage of end of financial year sales, savouring all the food that I have gravely missed. and not forgetting the luxury of driving a car again. ahh home, its good to be back.

# Macbook Pro/ iPad2

# Kate Spade Wallet

# Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium bag in Black

# Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch

# Salvatore Ferragamo Nude Pumps

# Cambridge Satchel

Do you ever felt like time went by so quickly that you have not a single idea of what you are actually doing right now. I do. I feel like gone are the days where you take time and think, have a good coffee, make a right-minded decision and carry out what you have decided. Its the 21st century, we do things full forced, face paced. If you don't, you lose out and get left behind. Things get thrown at you and you have to handle them all with grace on the spot.

But at the end of the day, what does it get you? And will you be happy with what you have although it's not something that you'll like.

Anyone who has learned economics will be familiar with the concept of opportunity cost: the cost of choices made measured in terms of the choices forgone. I am now at a stage where opportunity cost plays a crucial role, the last month of university till finals. It is the period that determines you either make it or break it. Obviously at times like these priority changes, things that are more important comes first (cough* assignments and tests) . It is also a time to make sacrifices. Giving up time spent sitting in front of a screen in exchange for time making friends with caffeine, notes and text books. How hard can this be?

I am practicing right now, trying to break the routine that I have been keeping for the past five months. Not an easy feat, but I am getting there. Fingers crossed that I will survive till the very end. For once I  want to conquer and not be conquered.

Can you believe we've hit the month of May already. What better way to start the month with a post of absolutely bombing desserts. It is that good and I am not even joking. La Renaissance is situated at The Rocks. I was blown away as soon as I put a forkful of Zulu (the chocolate one) in my mouth, THE BEST CHOCOLATE DESSERT EVER! Afternoons are better spent here with a cup of coffee paired with any cake or pastry of you liking. I see myself coming back for more and more in the future.

These American Apparel leather carry all are next on my to-get list. A casual take on the usual clutch and holds a lot more. Really am leaning towards the Reptilian Dijon and Reptilian Camel. These will be absolutely perfect for me since they are good dressed up and dressed down.

Weekend summary.

It's been sometime since the last weekend summary. No I haven't got lazy or went into a coma, just that I have nothing much interesting to pin point or share. 

1. The long weekend and mid sem holidays are over, and is pretty much time to get back to work. Second half of the semester is pretty full on. Marked my calenders and I guess I'll hardly have time to take a breather since I'd almost have something due in or a test on every week. Not to mention finals are just 5 weeks away. 

2. Parentals decided they won't be able to take time off work this June so they won't be visiting anytime soon. Which is also why, I booked a flight ticket and I AM COMING HOME few days after finishing with my finals. 

3. Knowing that I will be home in less than two months is also kinda distracting. I have such a hard time focusing now cuz I waaay too excited making plans booking trips and the sorts. Right now I am making promises with myself trying not to think about it because I really need my focus (hello finals?)

4. Attempting to change my lifestyle. Yes. Which also means I am on a diet again. but this time, instead focusing on losing weight I am focusing on actually living and doing my best on every inch of my life. Getting more organised, eating healthy, exercising, drinking more water and green tea, munching on nuts and seeds instead chips, stop being a couch bum, stuff that you have heard about a million times. We'll see how long this will last. 

5. Also, I am trying to hypnotize myself that the junk that I eat alot are absolutely disgusting. 

6. Oh. and also Kate&William's wedding is on tonight, Aussie time.

spent the afternoon wondering around Manly looking for food, and look what we've stumbled upon, legendary Zumbo Macaroons. Flavor selections from their Manly Patissier was a bit sad. there were only five to choose from, so we have to settle for what we've got. nevertheless, it is still the best that I ever had and couldn't wait to go back for more. It also have been sometime since I went to the beach. Was a bit too chilly for sun bathing or swimming, but sitting on the pier, quiet and listen was equally as good. all that is missing is good company.
