Currently listening to: Suzy - Don't Forget Me

So it's been 3 weeks. Wow has it been that long? I have barely done anything except get over my The Sims 2 addiction. It was hard. D: I thought I'd always be stuck playing the game without progressing in my own real life. But now, im free at last!!! And facing the consequences for procrastinating for weeks. I now have to cram a whole semesters worth of theory into 3 nights and.... 7 hours of studying :D

Seems like high school all over again.

So what have I actually done in the last 3 weeks?

I saw this cute thing. It's soooo cute, dont you think? I just had to take a picture!

I cooked dinner for once! I combination of chicken katsu, japanese curry rice and added in a chicken wing instead of egg. :) So proud of myself. And nothing burned! Hahaha *pat in the back for me*

I've done so little that it's hard for me to recall everything.. Or maybe that's because of my poor memory. I've had 3 exams. They were awful - I barely knew anything. That's what I get for brining my poor study habits from high school to university. It's so much more harder to study when things are so relaxed. I miss having teachers!

Oh, i bought some cosmetics from the ELF online store. Haven't tried them yet.

I don't usually buy from them but they had really good ratings.

And dramas of course!

I should start a list of all the dramas I have seen. It would be nice to know how many hours I have wasted...

Sunday!!

Currently listening to: SISTAR - Loving U

I love Sundays! I have enough spare time to make whatever I want. And today's menu was... tacos!Except when i was about 80% way through, I discovered that we didn't have any tomatos at home. So, i ended up with tomato-less tacos. So disappointing...

Man, I had no idea how important tomato really was. I wish it turned out like these ones but NO! They ended up being so dry. I'm such a terrible cook :)

SWOTVAC Friday

Currently listening to: Akdong Musician - I Love You

So it's the last day of SWOTVAC. Did i manage to finally start studying? Puah! Of course not! It's like you don't even know me. Instead, I went shopping at The Glen. And... I managed to barely buy anything. This is what I call a micro,micro-haul. I left the house pretty late today, so I only managed to hit up two stores. But it's okay because those were my two favourite stores within The Glen. First stop, EcoSkin shop! This is the closest (30 minute bus ride) yet inexpensive korean beauty store to me. They're more expensive than if i were to buy the same product off eBay, but they're not so expensive that I would totally disregard them. Today, i ended up walking out with the Etude House Wonder Pore Brush and TheFaceShop Charcoal & Konjac Cleansing Puff.

Etude House Wonder Pore Brush

I've heard so many bloggers raving about how good this brush is that I absolutely had to buy it!

The packaging is so adorable. I don't want to throw it away!! Damn you Etude House. I swear every time I buy something from there I end up storing the packaging away. I'm becoming such a hoarder.

My first impression of this product (other than that of the awesome packaging) is that the bristles are so, so soft. I was expecting prickly bristles like those used for cleaning, but in reality it feels like cotton candy. Hopefully it works as good as it looks. -10 minutes later- Now that I've tried it, I prefer the cleansing puff(below) more.

Its pros:

★ Easy to handle

★ My face feels clean afterwards

★ Really soft bristles

★ Design makes it easy to airdry

★ Cute!

Its cons:

★ Maybe i used it wrong but it felt like i was stabbing myself in the face

★ Doesn't lather that well

★ Pretty expensive = $10AUD

VERDICT? I'm sorry guys. It's so overrated. Definitely won't buy it again. Maybe the konjac cleansing puff has set my expectations really high for any other cleanser accessory

Next up:

The Face Shop Charcoal & Konjac Cleansing Puff

This actually isn't the first time I have bought this puff. In fact, I bought the same thing last year from the same store. It worked really well until it started falling apart (literally) a month ago. Now it's just little balls of jelly. If anyone is considering buying this product, go for it. I generally use it with my daily foaming cleanser and it works into a lather within a few seconds. I definitely feel difference between using and not using it. It's slightly more expensive than I bought it last year. Now it's ~$9.50AUD compared to $9 last year. But its still worth it~

My second and last final shop was House. I don't know, I have this vested interest in household items even though I'm only 18 and don't even live by myself. I could spend all day just browsing through the cups aisle alone. I ended up buying this swing and lock canister that I have been eyeing for ages. I've always wanted (not that I have actively tried) to find a cute canister that I could leave my homemade masks in. I only got this cute thing on sale for $2! Retail price was $3 but oh well. $1 saved is $1 earned :)

Next up, a cup. It took me a little over 40 minutes to choose on a single cup. I'm not kidding - I was inspecting each cup on display to every inch. I finally settled on one of the Marie Claire cups. It's white textured on the outside and pastel pink inside. It's so cute. But the contenders were equally adorable. I'm pretty sure i sifted through 5 different designs before I settled on this one, and i don't even have a desperate need for one right now. Now to put this one in the cup cabinet until I break the next 6 cups I have in reserve.

This was pretty good for 2 hours of shopping isnt it? Do I have to up the anti?

Oh okay. I'll do some online shopping tonight to make up for it.

Hi Blogger!

I'm very bored right now so i decided to retry writing in a blog again. It's so sad, while trying to find an available blog name I went past three, four inactive blogs that I have run for the last 3 years. I guess my dream of running a successful blog is far off. But- fifth try the charm right?

My exams are starting in a week but I have yet to start studying. In fact, my procrastination goes far beyond the common folk. Instead of studying today, I managed to update my playlist, watching hours of YouTube videos from my favourite vloggers and tidy up my room (only a little). It's amazing what I would rather do than to simply read a book. That's not it! I evened organised my Q-tips in its box until they were all perfectly straight. I'm not really a perfectionist unless I have something to do, I guess. D:

Yup, I wasn't kidding. I'm not a weirdo, I promise! :)
