Nail Appointments // Jamming // Strathfield Stroll

The early riser catches the worm! I woke up early this morning because I had an appointment with Clarissa. Lol. I used the word "appointment" to sound more professional and more of a business-woman type of aura. Anyway I was just trying to sound superior. Back to the point, she was coming for a nail-art sesh with me. I promised her to do her nails and also I forgot to give her bday card yesterday.

Santa came too that day. We jammed that day. We were so cool that we had to retake videos after videos. You know, I am being sarcastic right. It was incredibly fun. I would never thought jamming and making youtube videos would be this fun. And I kept my promise! I actually made youtube videos now! Go subscribe to my youtube channel if you haven't already. Crystal's Youtube Channel

At first we recorded a song by Kimberley Chen called "ai ni". It's a mandarin song. I love it! I don't even know the meaning to them though other than the words "ai ni". LOL. The only song that we completely made it through was actually for a Jamnomination reply that my friends tagged me ages ago : Grace and Bunga. I FINALLY MADE IT GUYS.

gahh, i really hate this thumbnail.

After we had finished jamming, I painted Santa's nails too but I forgot to take a photo of it. I hope they survive though (referring to the newly-painted nails, because they haven't dried up yet and she had to go).

For dinner, went to Strathfield for some korean cuisine! It was unbelievably hot, I even wore a sleeveless shirt.

this might look unappetising but it is SO GOOD

dessert time! 

at first we thought we were just buying 2 large snow-boy shaved ice 

look how huge it is! 

but then 4 came out! apparently, 2 large equals 4 mediums. 

My stomach started to bloat! 

Got mail?

The OPI nail polish Cim bought has finally arrived! I took a look at my mail box and found this Australian Post card relating about the deliverance of the nail polish! I had to take this card along with and redeem it in the Australian Post Office near Cim's new place. It was quite far away and fortunately Angelica was willing to show me the place and accompanied me there.

When I got the parcel, I could smell the nail polish odour so distinctly. It was as if one of the bottles was opened or something. However, I didn't straightly open the parcel in the post office. I still put it inside my bag and continued back to uni for my next lecture.

Back at home, after class, I opened the parcel, there was a pink bubble wrap protecting the 4 nail polishes from breakage. However, one of the nail polish got broken. Now that explains the extreme nail polish scent penetrating from the package. It was a red shatter OPI, and well, I told Cim about the broken nail polish, she emailed the person selling the nail polish. To our good luck, the seller is ready to refund 8$.

Later on that night! I quickly removed my pink metallic nails and switched it to this Shrek/Kermit-the-frog green nails! I freaking love it!

kyaa.. LOVE this green so much!!! 

Speaking of the Group Enzyme protocol project, I met up with one of my group mates that night. We did it together, and we were finally done with the project! PHEW. Thank God for that. At last, we are done with the first draft of the protocol that has to be submitted tomorrow during BABS lab.

Chinese New Year and Valentine Nails

I decided to paint my nails again ! This year is the year of the snake. But then, I was struggling in finding an easy way to create snake scales nail art. Anyway, I decided to do valentines nails instead. This is a great celebration to utilize the heart nail polish that Sheila and Willdy gave me last year :3.

Another difficult situation in this process is the drawing of the jigsaw puzzle using a toothpick. My hand was shaking terribly while doing my right nails.

Oh yeah, I have been wanting to post about the most addicting ipad game ever called, Tapped Out. It's similar to The Sims but instead the characters are from cartoon The Simpsons.

 The pictures below are random pictures I took..

Can't wait for tomorrow! :3

Sweet 17!

After days of trying to upload this post, all the error prompts, I eventually manage to get this post to be published! Sorry for the uber late date. 

Recently I celebrated my Sweet 17. Just a simple gathering with friends at the mall. Last day of hanging out with Clarein too. See her blog --> Clarein

Just letting you all know that I finally bought white nail polish! A rip off of OPI but who cares, it works just fine. A little too liquid-y. But still it works fine.

dropping paint nail art, fail attempt

Got a mini surprise from Cim, Vivi and Helen. Cim made birthday flapjacks! I would have never imagined I would get such surprise. I have never gotten a birthday surprise before. That is one of the disadvantage of having a birthday in holiday weeks.

the pancakes

I was still feeling sleepy

At around 10:30-ish, went to GI to meet up with Clarein, Dennise, Darren, Devan, and Evelyn. Bought tickets to the Rise of The Guardians! Pretty cool animation movie. Well duh, Dreamworks always creates unexpected movies. The crew there are so imaginative! 

After the movie,we were all feeling a bit hungry, and so we met up with Eve first, then headed to a restaurant called Sumpit which means Chopsticks in Indonesian language. It was my first time eating there. Unfortunately, not a big fan. LOL. 

the wonton sumpit noodles

Dennise's tomyam fried rice! This tastes better than my dish. I should have ordered that one instead of mine

 Furthermore, I did not know that the serving size would be so big. I was struggling trying to finish up my meal. I think I might be the last one to finish lunch compared to the others. It was so unlike me to finish last. weird.

Eve, clarein, devan

Then we departed with Clarein! Last time seeing her around in Indonesia :( ! Good luck in Michigan clare! Don't freeze to death! Just kidding! HAHA..
Btw clare (if you're reading this), I can't seem to be able to post comments on your blog! whyyyyyy! the captcha thingy problem.
 
Afterwards, stopped by at T-Rex Karaoke. Sang stuffs there.

 Darren was awesome at Karaoke! He got really high scores! ckckck..

I tried a new bubble drink too from a new store called ComeBuy. I ordered the wrong menu again. I ordered green tea with bobba with less sugar. And it was ultimately bitter! ew! What was wrong with my head. Kept on ordering yucky food.

As I got home, there was a cake sent from the bank.

 I opened the present from Dennise too! Thank you Dennise! :3

Candies! really good!

and this. :3 beauty products

 The next day I got buns from my Mandarin Teacher! Simply delicious! haha..

buns :3

 Cim also prepared a birthday video for me. But unfortunately there was something wrong with the format. Hence I can't upload it to youtube and post it here. :(

Stromy Saturday

I should have posted this yesterday but then I was lazy to. Such an illegitimate reason huh.. So what. My internet is running slow these days. That's just because I am downloading all 10 seasons of Friends! Oh yeah, I am totally re-watching them again!

Let's get to the point. It was raining cats and dogs yesterday. It was really dark and so windy.

Obviously, I spent the evening nail painting with my sisters, Cim and Helen. Apparently, Vivi didn't want to be painted. Although I have offered her I could do the Elf language nails that I have watched on youtube.

Cim wanted Totoro nails. And I decided to copy the simplest totoro nail I found on google.

It turns out pretty close though. HAHA..

 While I was painting cim's nails, Helen decided to redo her black nails which I have painted first with a shiny metallic pink. It appears that she didn't clean her nails properly. Looks like a kid's hand after playing with dirt all day.

 On the other hand, pfft, hand, get it.. Okay, moving on.. I did a water marble art with a cling wrap. I was trying to mix up Christmas colors : red, green, metallic green and gold. But then, it turns out to be a yucky metallic some sort of color I can't identify. Anyway, I immediately erased it after taking a picture of it.

Then, I decided to do a Christmas theme. After the failure of the water marble nail art, I made this. Santa, a distorted cookie and a glass of milk, a very dented looking christmas tree, christmas ornament, and a snow falling in a glittery-orange background.

After washing my hand, all the fingers except for the middle one got smudged, and I once more erased it. Leaving only the Christmas tree on my middle finger. It is completely intentional. LOL. Because, I think, it's the best one among the other 4 failures.

P.s: Clarein if you are reading this, it seems that I can't comment on your blog because of the incomplete captcha thingy. And so I couldn't proof myself of being a human and couldn't post my comment on your post. Btw, please bb on soon! Or leave a comment down below! Oh yeah, I recently texted you on your esia, but you didn't reply. You probably have changed your number right?

P.s.s: To Bella, check your mail

P.s.s.s: Lol, someone just made a fool of oneself. jkjk..
