22°C: Needles & Trench Coats

May 8th, 2012 by Meg

Finally got some pictures to post :D Today’s outfit:

What I’m Wearing:
- Mustard Sweater
- Vermillion Woollen Shorts, Jayjays, $10
- Black Belt, Thrifted, $4
- Pendant, Pandora, gift
- Zigzag Patterned Stockings, Target
- Lace-up Ankle Boots, Famous Footwear, $10
- Floral button up
- Beige Trench Coat

After feeling a little sick yesterday, and awaking from the nightmare aforementioned, I wanted to wear something bright and perhaps more dressy than usual. So I went with these vermillion shorts. I really like the woollen fabric for Autumn months, and for these warmer-cold days they work very well with stockings.




I chose to wear a dark blue collared button-down underneath to provide some contrast in colour. I actually forgot to wear many accessories today! But I think it’s alright, because the outfit itself is quite loud and adding heavy accessories such as jewellery would be overpowering.

And, on another note, I recently re-dyed my hair, in preparation of some DIY ombre tips:

Tiring day at uni, I had very little sleep. I didn’t end up doing much work anyway though. I just got a flu shot. HURTS. Didn’t relax my muscles enough.

Well, anyway I’m tired so to conclude; at some points of the day, I felt a bit too warm (like, late afternoon?) but overall:

22 degrees celcius: Trench Coat + Shorts/Tights + Light Sweater = success.

The Avengers & Family Gatherings

May 6th, 2012 by Meg

SO.  I have quite a bit to blog about, but no photos for this particular occasion.

Anyway, yesterday I went to see The Avengers with the guys ’cause the girls couldn’t make it.  Out of the Marvel movies, I’ve only seen Captain America.  But even then, The Avengers was prettttty awesome.  Definitely the best super hero movie I’ve ever seen… not that I’ve really seen, well, any others really LOL.

We had a quick lunch at Maccas and ended up getting to the movie like 10 minutes late.  Afterwards, we went shopping nearby to search for Mothers’ Day gifts :D  I bought my mum an eyeliner because she had told me she wanted a new one, and Bryan bought his mum a cheesy mug which was very sweet haha.

Bryan’s mum invited me to dinner with their family, included some extended family who I hadn’t met before.  To be honest, I was kind of nervous about it.  I knew they would be nice and stuff, but still nervous.  Turns out I didn’t really have to much to worry about though, by the end of the night I really felt like a part of the family :)

It was a sort of Mothers’ Day celebration kind of thing, even though Mothers’ Day is next week.  They had a barbecue, with mussels, crab, prawn & lamb kebabs, steak, potato salad & chilli crab (which I learned is like, Singapore’s specialty from Xiaxue LOL)  Then there was fruit, cake & tiramisu for dessert.  It was really delicious.

They also purchased a mahjong table, and Bryan somehow convinced me to play even though I was scared of looking really silly because a) I don’t know how to play and b) I was at a disadvantage not being able to read or speak Chinese.  But anyway, his grandma helped me play and I ended up winning both games that I played, LOL.  Definitely through his grandma’s guidance though.

I’ve been looking for an online multiplayer mahjong game ever since hahah.

Later we played some karaoke which was pretty fun.  Bryan and I sung Hero by Mariah Carey.  LOOOOL.  I love his dramatics.

Anyway that’s it for tonight.  I’m too tired to post any more, uni tomorrow D:

Sleepy

January 28th, 2012 by Meg

I am SO tired.
My sleeping habit has become so messed up nowadays, I can’t fall asleep until like 3AM and I sleep in until it’s almost lunch time.

Today I went to Yumcha with the family, then my aunty and uncle took us out and we ended up going to a warehouse where I bought myself a shoe rack thingy that is actually not a rack but a soft shelf.

Then my brother and I went to their house to watch Up on DVD since we hadn’t seen it before. Long overdue, I know. It was so sweet, I actually really liked it. We even watched the Bonus features which made me feel like travelling to South America and also painting, LOL.

Went to a Swedish pizza place for dinner, it was delicious.

Well, I’m falling asleep so I’ll just type everything I think even if it’s completely incoherent.

My room is clean. What a rare occasion. It’s like it has increased in size or something.

I’m ridiculously addicted to Fairytail. I went from episode 42-72 in a day. That’s what happens when you’re home all day, left to your own devices.

I had my first driving lesson on Friday.
It was okay I think.

I need to buy more organisational stuff, been kind of addicted to organising my room lately although some parts are still a mess and my clothes are spewing out of my wardrobe.

I wish my paintings wouldn’t fall down when I open the window.

Shower then nap. Or Fairytail. Maybe. Only like 20 episodes to go until I am up to date.

Ramble, ramble

January 22nd, 2012 by Meg

Today is not only Chinese New Year’s Eve, but also Bryan and my 11 month anniversary.

Well, technically it isn’t an “anni”-versary seeing as it isn’t annual. But you get what I mean. Actually it’s the first month-versary we’ve had apart. :( Luckily we get to talk via the internet anyway. He’s coming home soon.

Yesterday I went and rewatched Tintin in 3D with my aunty, uncle and brother since my bro hadn’t seen it yet.

I also did my stupid Allocate+ crap for uni, why is it so confusing?  And Marketing has the most annoying timetable.   Don’t have to do marketing yet :D

Today I have a family get together at my grandparents house for Chinese New Year, which should be fun.

My brother has to read The Hunger Games for school, which I have been hearing a lot of hype about anyway. I’m going to read it- but honestly the hype it’s been getting is really annoying. I hate how people compare it to Twilight or Harry Potter. Actually I hated it when Twilight was compared to Harry Potter as well.

If I’m being totally honest, I loved Twilight when I first read it and it wasn’t the least bit popular. LOL people go all “eww” when you say you like Twilight; I’m not saying it was written well or had an amazing storyline or whatever. But I give credit where credit is due- if Meyer wrote it to make unsuspecting teenaged girls fall in love with the male characters, and consequently, make them fall in love with the series; she was highly successful. Whether or not it is a good piece of writing is another story- but it had to have something in the way she portrayed her characters or the way she described things that made it that effective to a mass audience. And so, I will not be afraid to admit that as a naive teenage girl, I fell for it, and liked it.  [EXCEPT THE MOVIES, EEEEWW]

Now I’m at a loss. I generally dislike those people that hate something just because it’s popular or mainstream. Because why does popularity make a difference? It’s still the same thing. And generally, when something becomes popular, there is a REASON for it— because it’s good. Or catchy or something.

But I also dislike it when things I originally liked become overly popular as well. And I kind of hate myself for it— for the reasons mentioned above. I can’t really explain why I don’t like it. It’s like all these people think they know more about it than you now that they just discovered it. Maybe I’m just too proud, LOL. Hypocritical much?

Anyway back to the point- Twilight may be a good or bad book in it’s own right, but why compare it to Harry Potter? They are two completely different books about different things. Just like The Hunger Games is different as well. You CAN’T fairly compare them. Ugh so frustrating.

Okay, I’m done. Now off to read the Hunger Games.

Many weeks worth of blog

January 21st, 2012 by Meg

Where should I begin?
Well in short, Daydreamt has undergone some major renovations. I don’t like this layout as much as the old site but this isn’t so bad. I’ve moved all the resources that I had backed up to my new project with Mary, Nivosus, which means “snowy” in Latin. That site will contain resources, guides and tutorials.

This site is now officially my personal blog only, as well as (possibly) a feed for my blogspot posts on my kind of unadvertised webmag, Obvsly. Only a feed because I doubt I’ll keep up with Obvsly when school’s on again.

Basically, Daydreamt is my free-for-all, I’m not limited to making it a resource site anymore, nor am I bound to that typical celebrity style layout. But I did decide to feature Audrey Hepburn on this one anyway, ’cause I felt like it.

So what has life been up to lately?

Well life took me to Queensland for a week. My parents couldn’t take my brother and I, so my Aunty and Uncle generously took us on the trip. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever been on a legitly scary ride up until the Gold Coast. I tried almost every ride that was listed under “thriller” in Movie World and Wet n Wild. I also went to Sea World which was surprisingly a lot of fun too, I really like looking at animals; it made me feel like a little kid again. Anyway back to rides: the Lethal Weapon was the scariest in my opinion, though Bryan says when he went, the Superman was the best. I think the Scoobydoo ride was the most fun though, just because I expected it to be crappy like the Haunted train thing in Luna Park, only to be pleasantly shocked.

Well, maybe some of you out there have been to Queensland heaps of times but for me it was a pretty big deal because, well…

I’ve never been on a plane before now.

And let me tell you, I do not like plane trips from my experience. I chewed gum, I pinched my nose and tried to pop my ears, I listened to music- I did everything and nothing worked.

My ears KILLED. Does everyone get that feeling? It really, really hurt in my ears and I couldn’t do crap about it.

Our apartment was just across the road to Surfers Paradise. It is a beautiful beach. The sand is gorgeous, the water is lovely. The sunset view is really pretty. I wish I could have spent more time there.

You know where else I wish I could have spent time in though?

The spa. LOL. It wasn’t an amazing spa but it was so relaxing and warm. ^___^

So Bryan has been overseas now for nearly a month. I still miss him. I hope time flies.

Oh and I got into Comm/Law at Monash Clayton! :D So exciting.

It’s late.
Just a blog before bed to bring in the (Chinese) New Year <3
