    My Life TODAY!

    Haha, I'm a big fan of food man. You can see how chubby I am!

    By the way, that picture was taken like 1 month ago. At that time, I lost 2 kilos I think.
    Not much but oh-well, I'm definitely going to work harder.

    Anyway, ever since I came back from Jakarta, I left so many things behind and need my Mom to bring them all over.
    One of them is my yellow-leather Diary (Kikki-K!!! I love this brand.. wohooo.)

    So, I have to write something somewhere.
    My fingers itch if they are not used to write something.
    So, since I have a blog, I might just use it, FREE...!! LOL

    So, what do I need to do??? (Today!!)
    1. Take Shower -> Eat -> Take all my clothes from the hangers -> Iron some -> Gym.
    2. Need to e-mail my Ji-chan.
    3. Reply all my facebook messages.
    4. Vacuum house.
    5. Print my Chiba University forms.
    6. E-mail my university about change of subjects. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Hm, I think that's it?

    By the way, what is the update about my student exchange to Japan?
    Currently, I am waiting for Chiba University to send me the Certificate of Egibility to Sydney University.

    I need the COE so that I can apply the student visa in the Japanese embassy which I don't know where in Sydney. HAHAHAHA

    Anyway, I am planning to go to Japan 2 weeks before the orientation week starts.
    I am hoping that my sister can come with me because I don't have any friends in Japan.
    Yet, my Japanese still sucks real bad. LOL

    My other friend is coming from Vietnam and she asked me if I can stay back a week in Sydney.
    But I don't think I am able to do that.
    You know, I can't hold back my flight and all.
    So we'll just have to see.
    Before, I planned to go like 3 weeks before.

    But because of the accommodation and all the expenses, I think 2 weeks before is kind of enough.
    HAHA

    So, I will let you guys know what's going to happen next.. all the updates about my exchange and life.

    chEERs,
    XOXO

    PS: If you are Indonesian, and you like to Dugem (Dunia Gemerlap) as in Clubbing. Please join my friend's forum www.dugemmania.com/forum
    And register there.
    I'm the Bouncer in that forum. HAHA
    Whatever, I'm pretty cool to do all that stuff. LOL

    Make Up Haul #2 (Part 2)

    Here is the continuation:


    Numero 5: Etude House

    I bought all these make-ups in Taman Anggrek Mall. They have their own store of Etude House there.
    Everytime you go in, they yell "Welcome Princess"
    And when you leave they yell "Goodbye Princess"
    hahaha
    I was there with my mom , they should've yelled 'Goodbye Queen and Princess".
    HAHAHAHHAHAHHA
    It must be so funny. lolllll



    Below is called: Lovely Cookie Blusher #03 Rp. 188 000



    This is the blush!! How cute is the ribbon!! They also have the Stamp Blush.

    Basically, the blush is like a stamp, STAMP ON UR FACE!

    I didn't buy it even though it is cute LOL


    Below is called: Dear Darling Glossy Lips 903 Rp 188 000

    Sorry the picture is sideways, but I can't be bothered!!


    Below is called: Dear Darling Ultra Shine Lips 09 Rp 218 000
    Below is called: Dual Change Eyeliner Rp 228 000Reviews: Have not tried them all! LOL.

    Well, I did try the lipsticks, the colours are not that obvious on my lips, they're shimmery but seems as if they're swallowed by my lips. I think I need to find out what colours suit my lips. They're moisturising and shimmery, I'd give it 7 out of 10.

    So far, I find out that blood red looks really nice on my lips, but I can't wear blood red lipsticks in daylight!!! GRRR..


    Numero 6: Maybelline


    The lipstick colours are: Sugar Berry, Mango Punch and Honey Pink.
    Eye Pallettes: Winter Iris (Left) and Matcha Mousse Cake (right)
    Sorry, I don't do swatches, I am too lazy!! LOL
    Reviews: I have tried the Matcha Mousse Cake and I think the colours do pull through. They are not flaky and stays on even though I don't have primer applied on to my eyelids.
    The lipsticks.. well I tried Sugar Berry and it doesn't pull through. Mango Punch...it's orangey and shimmery, it reflects light which is nice but it just reflects too much!!!! SHUX.
    However, I like Honey Pink.
    I thought my lips look like Barbie pink but not really! It's very nice looking pink with a blend of red colour and when applied with clear shine gloss, my lips look pouty. LOL
    Each of the lipstick costs Rp. 48 000 which is like AUD$7-8.00.
    While the eye palette cost me Rp89 000 which is like around AUD$11.00
    Ok, I can now happily say to y'all that I HAVE DONE MY MAKE-UP HAUL POST!
    YEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....................................................
    What kind of post should I write on ??
    Hmm, I think about food !! HAHA
    But, I will post it in MellonFood, my other blog. All focussed on food, cooking lalalalaaaaaaaaaaa.

    Make Up Haul #2 (Part 1)

    For my University holiday which I get of around 4 months.. yes 4 months... I went back to my home country, Indonesia from 17th of June to 28th of June.

    AND, I HAD FUN,.

    I had heaps of shopping with my mom till she couldn't walk anymore. haha

    I said to her 'MOm, lets continue shopping, my feet can still walk" (That was like after 7 hours of walking in the same Mall)

    Then she said "I know you can still walk, but look at your eyes, you can even barely see me anymore'.

    hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *spot on*

    Anyhows, I did a lot of hauls but mainly on lipsticks, since I am addicted to lipsticks.

    So let's just get straight into the point and I will just post the photos of my haul.
    Oh, I will divide this to part 1 and part 2.
    I hate my browser, (I use IE 8+)!! When I upload pictures, I will have wide gaps between paragraphs and it's so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Numero 1: SariAyu



    Left to Right: Reog 03 (Jawa Timur Collection 2009), Geulis 07 (Parijs Van Java collection 2007), Duo Eyeliner + Mascara (Jawa Timur Collection 2009), Eyeshadow (Jawa Timur Collection 2009), and a bonus Moisturiser. haha The big bottle at the back is Body Mist Delima scent. Delima is a fruit, and I don't even know how to translate it to English.. I think.. Passionfruit!! Yeah passionfruit! *phew* It smells so nice, I spritz it into my hair and my hair smells like models. hahaha
    What is Sariayu? Indonesian local cosmetic brand. Each year they have a new collection usually consists of lipsticks, eyeshadow pallette and eyeliner+mascara. Apart from the JAWA Timur Collection they also have another one that belongs in the same year but I didn't buy the other set, I think the colours are too safe.

    Review:
    -The dual mascara eyeliner: eyeliner is very runny, it is not jetblack and have to double swipe unlike MAC's or Anna Sui's eyeliner but it stays on pretty well and it's easy to remove!! I have not yet tried the mascara because I don't wear mascara, since my eyelashes are naughty and need some b*tch slap. hahaha Just kidding, they're just short and difficult to grow. So that's why I don't wear mascaras.

    - The Lipsticks: i think they're quite moisturising, however, they are semi-matte I think! That's why I always put on lip balm first prior to applying lipsticks. The colours are subtle so if you have tanned skin like moi... these colours will look nude on your face in which is why I bought them. I love nude colours.

    -The eyeshadow: the palette consists of 3 colours: gold, reddish velvet, brownish.
    They are very-very-pigmented, despite that, the powder is easy to break off, so when you tap them, they drop off easily. I wish they can just stick on your eyeshadow brush. hehe

    -The moisturiser: haven't yet tried, i have like 3 tubes of other moisturisers to slap on my face!

    -The body mist: DIVINE! No complain. haha

    Numero 2: Maybelline Angelfit Flawless Affinity Foundation

    Sorry for the dark images, I took them from my phone camera 3.2 mb pixel :p

    Angelfit is only sold in Asian countries, that's why no matter how hard I tried to look in Australia, I can never find ANGELFIT!.

    I think they also have blushes etc but all I know from Angelfit is their powder is the number 1 best seller in Japan.

    Watever .. bullAss or not, I bought it! haha

    Price: Rp. 159 000, that is around AUD$18.00
    Not bad.

    Review: Tried it on, sinks deep into my face and I look oh-so-natural. No need to put additional concealer if you have flawless skin (like acne scars). I do have several acne scars and a deep scar when I fell down in the toilet when I was 5. It does not cover much but it makes your skin looks smoother!!!!!

    Plus, it absorbs oil!! Coz I have oily forehead, nose and cheecks.

    I recommend people to pick the colour that suits your natural skin tone.

    The powder is very smooth, velvety finish and I only needed to apply moisturiser, sunscreen + this Angelfit!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!


    Numero 3: O.P.I Professional Nail lacquers


    Left to right: Lunch at the Delhi, The Violet-ter the Better.

    Review: I have not yet tried them!! Price: Rp.180 000, around AUD$24.00

    Numero 4: SkinFood


    Left to Right: Peach Skin Emulsion (Rp.212 000 or AUD$34.00), Lipstick #602, and Pearl Gray Eyeliner.

    Review: Tried the lipstick, it is too orangey, not that moisturising but it will look great with gloss on top!!

    The Emulsion is said to reduce pores and you should apply it in the morning then top it with moisturiser. I don't know if it's true or not, but when I applied it, it feels cool and I think I felt nothing. But who knows, maybe my pores will be smaller? haha

    Week 13 Ending


    So finally, Week 13 has ended.

    My last assessment has been done and made and... sent!!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
    So, what do I do for upcoming week?
    a. Study for 2 assessments for this week's TAFE.
    b. Study for my final (2ND TIME) Sociology exam on the 15th of June.
    c. Gym all the way and go to Taekwondo.. hopefully.. Open-mouthed
    d. Prepare my Yahoo Messenger to be surrendered to my USA brother.. and also to my childhood friend Baruak in Singapore. hahahaha Crying
    I don't think I can keep up with the bet.
    Even though I am losing weight, it's just that 4 kilos is too much.

    Plus I ate 6 slices of pizza last time.. crap!! LOL
    Anyways, I am not gonna give up.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BTW, I had fun today coz I went to KOorOng in West Ryde. For you guys who don't know what it is, it's a Christian bookshop.
    How to get there???
    Well, you can actually catch trains from the Northern Line but today no trains, this is why I hate suburbs, track works disrupt your travel plans.

    So instead, we caught the 501 bus and slept on the bus for 40 min.. lol
    It is not that far but still... feel tired hahahaha
    I went there with my Hoppie..
    (Here we are, eating our cassava chips, we were starrrvvviiingg!!)

    And, I bought these books and I think they're awesome.
    I will list the books names if you want me to !!!
    After that we went to this new Vietnamese Restaurant just right next to Pasteur Vietnamese Restaurant on George Street and I ordered the "Pork Chops and Springrolls Vermicelli" priced at $9.00 and look how big it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So, apart from this, I seriously need to buy a moisturiser cos I've run out my Laneige Waterbank 2 moisturiser which my mom bought in Jakarta.

    Since I plan to go back to Indonesia this June-July, I'm planning on a cosmetic shopping spree..
    WHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

    Whatever, I am too happy. LOL

    Okay, time to log off and wash my face and sleep!!
    Tomorrow I am going to church in the morning .. and... obviously looking forward to it.
    I Red heartthe sermons and the songs.....

    Week 12 End

    No one wants to read a blog about someone else's life unless they're famous. Thank God I'm not famous .hahahahahah I can rant on and no one cares. Hooray!!
    Not like Susan Boyle, I feel sorry for her, she is probably going mental now coz of the media scrutiny magnifying her life every single minute. *PHEWWWW!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~*


    Anyway, what's been happenin?
    • USYD TKD will only have 2 more weeks of training and I haven't been training for like 2 months. I just have no passion and motivation for it anymore. I'm considering other sports.
    • Been to the gym for like everyday, tummy is now almost flat like a washboard. haha hooraayyyy ... *j/k.. not that flat actually*. 
    • Attended my pre-departure Japan seminar YESTERDAY. (Friday). Met lotsa students who've been from Japan and also Japanese students. They are totally nice, informative!! I'm looking forward to have their contacts bombarded into my uni mail soon. hahahahahaha For what purpose? Of course to mass spam them hahahahahaha
    • Currently studying for my ASNS final exam in Week 13 (next week) on Monday. I haven't started, and just wasting my energy taking notes. 
    • Plumber came on Wednesday morning, waking up the neighbour under my level. Not our fault man, it's becoz of you that I had to wake up at 6.30 am. He came like at 8 AM okay. haha PS: the plumber drilled down the wrong floor. BAHAHA who cares, they fixed it and without pay. HooraYyy.
    • Met BuBu unintentionally on Thursday, was happy. But I guess I'm not hoping much anymore... aitsu ha... shy..................sugita.
    • Ate with Seri (in the photo above) in Mother Chu's Taiwanese restaurant. I missed out on her birthday the week before, Sorry Honey.. hehehe But I really had fun eating out with her. I'll shout her a dinner next time. lol Btw, becoz of that porridge, I burned my lips, tongue and my upper mouth. DAMN IT!!
    So, anyway, almost a week is over without talking to si Biji, he was wrong, he should be a man and step up and apologize to me FACE TO FACE !! 

    I am a WOMAN, I will never listen to Panda that I should call him up and demand an apology. 

    Ok, I will make a deal to myself.
    If si  Biji does not come up to me and apologize to me until the day Hoppie goes back to Malaysia.
    I will always forever have this mindset in my mind: 
    "He NEVER RESPECTS me and that I was mistaken to think of him as a good friend."

    I'm forgiving but I know when to step up and be a b*tch. lollll 
    Nah, I mean I know how to be firm and know what is right and wrong.

    OK, enuff of those shit about si Biji (Hippo). I will never let a friend to direct their anger towards me just because they are disappointed with their life or just because they miss their gf/bf too much. 
    IT'S FUCKING STUPID AND UNFAIR TO ME. 
    I AM JUST A FRIEND!! 

    hahaha..

    Anyway, wish me luck on my exam ! lollll

    Monday, May 25, 2009

    Week 12

    DSC03294 oK, I’m a bit narcist here. hauhauhaha

    Ok let’s just get straight to the point, no BS, no Sh*t, no f*cked up gay guy HAHAHA

    So this week is week 12, one more week towards my ASNS final exam. Can you imagine that this upcoming exam is only 1 hour long? haha So happy.

    But the thing that makes me even happier is that, I get an opportunity to do a substitute exam for my sociology!!!

    I performed poorly in my SCLG original final exam, I got like 50-something while the class average is 70!

    There are only 3 people who want to do this substitute exam and I am included. hahahaha

    But I don’t care much really, this time I aim for 60% at least!!

    The lecturer said it is going to be harder, but, I really want to get more than 60>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate the number 5 in front of any double digit numbers especially when it’s closely related to exams, grades etc. lollllll

    I am just so blessed that I get this opportunity. Even if at the end I get lower mark (WORST CASE SCENARIO), then, I will just accept it.

    That is my destiny to receive that mark.

    It’s pretty interesting that out of 40 people only 3 people who are willing to re-do the exam.

    I guess some people can’t really be bothered to re-do the exam.

    But I believe “NEVER GIVE UP”, until I know that I’ve tried my best.

    Opportunities don’t come twice, but when they come for the 2nd time, I’ll grab it so I make sure I make it mine forever.

    I believe, as a graduate of USYD, I must portray a really good reputation for USYD.

    I go to USYD not for the sake of saying ‘USYD is an elite school, and I graduate there.’

    I go to USYD for the sake of saying ‘I go to USYD, I struggle there, but USYD has taught me to become a better person either in the professional realm or just as an individual’.

    I believe when we go to a top-notch school say. Harvard, USYD, Cambridge, Berkeley, UNSW etc, we should study our best and don’t give up.

    A friend of mine said that he loves winning, loves competing and become the best well.. he tries to be. I like this kind of spirit.

    The spirit of not backing down!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

    From now on, I want to surround myself with positive people, motivated, ambitious people, not over-sensitive people that can’t control their rage/emotions.

    Just like what the Bible said “there is always time for everything.. time to cry… time to be happy… time to be sad.. time to plant.. time to sow…”

    I believe, time is in our hands, we must utilise time the most.

    OK. JIAYOU!!!!!!!! GANBATTE MELLON-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
