1.  discovered and tasted Reese Chocolate with peanut butter. They are evil.
2.  is the week that panicked. Second week into uni and I feel so overwhelmed. there is just SO MUCH to do.  
3. reading, assignments, quizzes and test. maybe this three month holiday had made me forget how    hectic uni can get sometimes. chop chop. time to get organised.
4. dropped half a dozen or so of my resumes in Macquarie Centre. really am getting my fingers crossed for scoring a job. god knows how much I need this.
5. received my ASOS parcel. did not buy much. but was thrilled that it had arrived within a week.
6. am exposed to Kdrama goodness. watching "Sign" at the moment. oh. was just done with "my princess".
7.  need more hours in a day. time just flies by. not liking this.

So how was your week?

Malaysian Kitchen Insiders had a lunch & dinner food festival in one of the alleys off State theater. All you need is $10 per entry and you get 4 dishes in tasting plate size. Quite a steal. We had Satay in chicken and mutton I believe, chicken kapitan (the best of the day), nasi lemak (quite a let down), and vegetarian gado-gado(sry no pic for this one. but it was good anyway). This event is insanely popular among Malaysians in Sydney I must say. the queue was unbelievable. We did the lunch session. Satisfied. Looking forward to next week. Good job on the deco, it was dreamy.  

ohbtw. this is post #100. wohhhooo.

I've decided that the least I can do is to sum up my week in one post.

so for this week.

1. University started for me. No tutorials just lecture. It did feels kinda good to be back. Something to work on for a while. aiming for distinctions. HAVE to remember this. 
2. I got terribly sick earlier this week. Fever on and off. Very very sore and dry throat. and intense muscle pain. Helped clearing out my backyard last sunday and was out in the sun for quite abit. which explains my muscle pain and fever. Throat is one whole other story. It felt like my throat was on fire the whole time. Don't ask me why I did not go to the doctors. Probably believe I am a better healer myself. pffft. one night before I a good look inside my throat and saw some crazy pus-ish yellow stuff on the wall of my throat and I had a cancer scare. stupid I know. Rushed to the doctors first thing in the morning. and turned out I had tonsils infection. and the doctor prescribed my some antibiotics. all is good now. 
3. Been hunting for good ready for winter. Still am looking for the perfect coat and boots. 
4. Benn job hunting too. Got a call from my employer promising shifts. yeh. still am waiting for that call. 

So how was your week?

I love mascaras. I love lashes. As much as I love false lashes, it didn't make sense to me to wear them out everyday. They are more reserved to special occasions, partyting birthdays the lot. In the mean time I still like my eyes to stand out when I go out to say, uni or running some errands. Mascara is one of those things that make my lashes stand out, and also saves me from drawing on eyeliner cuz it has that effect. Fabulous!

Maybelline has the best mascaras of all times. They beat expensive higher end brands, hands down. My all time absolute favourite, one that I have been using for a while will have to be the Maybelline Intense XXL.

Yep. But that's not the point. I've been using this for such a long time to a point I got sick of it.

Maybelline Lash Stiletto in Blackest Black.

I got this one here from K Mart when they a mascara clearance. All Maybelline mascaras were going for only $10. Bargain! Have not much expectation from Lash Stiletto, but boy was I blown away. It has everything that I was looking for. Thumbs up. I always curve my lashes before applying mascaras since I have natural straight asian lashes. I am happy that this mascara doesn't weigh my lashes down and kept curve the whole day! and it does not smudge easily, unlike some of the previous mascaras that I've used.  My lashes do look identical when I was using the XXL, but the point is it save me the trouble and time of swapping my lashes twice. Now I can have the same, if not better lashes from just one tube of mascara. Definitely will be buying this again when mine runs out.

Maybelline Magnum Volume Express, Super Film, also in Blackest Black

The first thing that caught my eye of this mascara was the comb. It is even and feels fluffy. I thought this must be something good. Sad to say I was disappointed. And I have only used this twice. It weighs down my lashes. My lashes were straight as soon I swiped this mascara on. This is the only thing that I dislike bout this mascara. Probably not going to make a second purchase anytime soon.

two months into this year. I have an epiphany to reinvent myself. shouldn't it be this way? trying to make myself to be a better person each and every year.

Never used to believed in resolution. Seemed impractical to me. but this year I decide to write myself a list of resolution, and print them out real big so I'll see them everyday and remind myself constantly. 

1. Spend at least five hours in the (uni) library reading up my materials and study each week. Everything has to be up to date and completed before due dates. All nighters will not cut it anymore.
2. Be in bed latest by 1am if I have things on the very next day. 
3. Visit the local library at least once a month, getting fresh reads every time. Reading is better than giving the mall or the laptop a visit.
4. Save at least $50 a month. (after finding myself a new job)
5. Exercise at least two days a week.
6. Straight distinctions for my second year.
7. Buy myself a scale. and lose 10kg by the end of 2011.

not to hard aye.
