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! 

Googly Eyes

Another post about nail arts! YEY! Before starting on the nails, I would like to explain about what a lazy day today was been for me. Here we go... woot woot, a journal post :)

peace out <3 

The intention of swimming was blown away because I started to feel home sick. I only have at least a week left before I fly back to Sydney. The urge of spending more time at home empowered any motivations I had the previous night. I had a plan on what I should do today being nicely organised the previous night.

Anyway, later that morning, I had picked a book called The Search for Wondla and an Indonesian book called Silsilah Di Kitab Kejadian in which I had the motif on reading through them but after a few flip of pages, I tossed it to the side of the table and without hesitant reached out for my laptop.

Another "thing" happened today, I finally paid my overdue amount at University Terraces after receiving constant warning emails. I had mentioned to the guy that I would pay the overdue amount as soon as I got back to Sydney which was on the 27th of February (arrival date), however he didn't believe me and instead, warned me this would be reported to a debt collection agency and a bad record will be written under my name which will last at least for 7 years. Honestly, I was reluctant on paying something so huge of amount via internet especially to the insecurity of internet signals here in Indonesia, what if anything goes wrong when I was paying it online. I am not the most tech-savvy person and call me a caveman or anything for not relying the internet especially at this gadget age, I don't really care. I worry, okay!

I watched a lot of videos on youtube. A worm of curiosity grew inside of me and I watched how to read palms or fingers. It is pretty interesting how the three phalanges of the fingers depict different successes for each segment. Sort of a fortune-telling action that is and I had to stop before it went to far. You never knew how boredom could strike you to do stuffs you have never even thought of before.

Moving on, after lunch, I tried to clean up the cupboards in my dining room. It looked okay, I found new mugs and found tumblrs which I will bring to Sydney :)

Then, went for grocery shopping.

And, the highlight for today, nail paintings! Watched a video on how to make googly eyes nails <3 Super fun to make but you have to have sturdy hands while making the dots. Patience is definitely key and what makes waiting fun? Watching Conan O Brien's shows on youtube of course.

After the nails are done, I came to realise that these googly eyes look more like frog eggs... LOL 

Watching Miss Indo 2014 right now! Saw Diana Jo on TV! Super psyched! All the best, girl! Seems a bit bizarre watching someone familiar on tv; in a positive way of course.. HAHA 

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.

Can't wait for tomorrow! :3

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..

Spirited Away

I'm not going to lie, this Spirited Away nails are disastrous. I got inspired by the movie Spirited Away which you guys should totally watch or may have watched it already. The movie is so good! I have watched it 3 times and it is still good.

I should probably redo my nails to a christmas theme nails. And I have to buy white nail polish ASAP! It is so important!

p.s: I so crave watching The Script concert in Sydney so badly! However, Cim and I missed the last day of buying the tickets online! Please if possible, I really want my first concert to be of my fav band, The Script! ARGH! Anyone, who is so kind-hearted, and who has spare tickets, please show up, and offer some reasonable price of 2 tickets to The Script Concert 2013 at Sydney Entertainment Center!  

Shunken Sentimental

Days ago, I came across this Japanese Girl Band known as Scandal on TV. And honestly, their music video on Shunken Sentimental is awesome! They kinda remind me of K-on for some reason. But, two thumbs up! They are really cool showing off their band skills.

Anyway, I got my English Research Essay assignment today! It is extremely satisfying! Hard work does really pay off. I mean, I have printed 4 times for this essay and I have gone back and forth consulting with my English teacher. Thank God so much for this! 

Next, I am in the middle of watching youtube videos on nail tutorial arts. I'm planning to paint my nails again. As the vintage floral nails are chipping out everyday, I should quickly replace them with something else if I could find myself the time. I mean, it is almost final exam. Moreover, I, sometimes, feel distracted every time I have a new nail coats. I would get paranoid or instead of studying I would observe my nails. Such a waste of time right. Speaking of wasting time, I did the most ridiculous thing ever while preparing myself for Math Mock the other day. I was in a lot of stress, and everything around me seems very interesting at the time, especially the torchlight Denny gave me recently. 

I took the torchlight and started directing it to my eyes to dilate my pupils. I spent 5 solid minutes watching my pupils dilate in front of the mirror with the torchlight.

Okay, back to nail polish topic, I found this cute youtube channel, Cutepolish

I think I'm going to paint my nails with a leopard print.. I have been craving it since yesterday. But this just have to wait until I have finished my semester exam.

 

This brings me to a closing, I have to go now and hit the books. Bye..

Vintage Floral Nails

Instead of joining for Sports Day, I went home and gave myself a Vintage Floral nails! YEY.. At first I was about to do myself a Rainbow Marble nails. The tutorial was really easy to watch but when it comes to doing the real thing, I kept on failing and failing.

Rainbow Nail Tutorial

Anyway, I spent about 2 to 3 hours doing this nail art. LOL. I'm pretty satisfied though.

Later in the evening, Helen baked a chocolate cupcake. It tasted good but the cupcake does rise all through the brim of the cupcake paper. Helen said she didn't put baking soda in it, hence explained the situation. Moreover, she said that we were running out of baking soda at home
