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:

I like to waste time.

April 28th, 2012 by Meg

So yesterday eyelash glue I purchased online some time ago arrived in the mail. Practically every guru on the internet recommended “Duo” lash glue, so I figured that if I’m going to buy lash glue, it might as well be a good one.  Sorry, crap picture again because I took the photo at night.


Today I went out on a date with Bryan :) We went to Cafe Moretti and had a slice of “Cookies and Cream” cake to share, which was so yummy and fluffy I could die. And then we had a really tasty Soft-Shell crab dish.
Didn’t take photo’s because I forgot.

Anyway we ended up at a store called “Eco Skin”, which basically has products from The Face Shop. They had a 2 nailpolishes for $10 sale, so I bought BK901 and SL211 from their “Nail Pleasure” series. LOL. I’ll do a post on that later, as well as one on the lash glue when my order of falsies arrives.

So far I like them :D Time to experiment with nailllls.

I want a good mascara. I have been putting off looking and purchasing one for a while now.

Also. I’m rewatching Inu x Boku.

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.
