Of Boo-Boos and Burnt Cupcakes

As usual, I'm clearing out all the photos I've hoarded in my folders, some recently, and others, way too long overdue! Bear with me on this! I've definitely got a serious problem that needs to be addressed: that photos I've EVER taken have to be posted online in a blog post. How crazy does that sound?! Sure I've known all along I'm deathly conscious of being organised and all, but could this even be close to an OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, FYI)?

Moving on... (Just 'cos I don't know how I was gonna continue from that previous sentence!)

Met Beck on Monday for mainly Saybons: The French Food Factory! We were planning to do bowling or watch a movie or summat but we couldn't squeeze that all in one afternoon.

I cleverly (ha) ordered escargots first (garlic herbs flavoured!) and then a mushroom cheese crepe!
 Escargots in garlic herbs! I prefer escargots in their original, au naturel shells though! It's so much fun to dig them out of the shells. 
It came with some miniscule garlic bread!
Left: Becky's cheese crepe. Right: My mushroom cheese crepe. It's obvious which one looks a little more tastier ;)

We were waiting at the bus stop to take a bus home that day, and while waiting, we were watching repugnantly at a small snail crawling out where it's dangerous (actually, everywhere is dangerous for a small thing like a snail!). It crawled further, further out in the bus stop. Then a couple of dudes came. I witnessed the snail first being kicked. It crawled back into its shell, and stayed that way. Not too long after, that same guy stepped on the shell (and had evidently no idea of doing so). I heard that godawful crunch of the shell. It left behind a gross pile of pus-like stuff. *shudder* Both of us were really grossed out.

Beck and I ate at Fish n' Co pretty long ago. Few weeks back. Here are some long overdue snaps of our food...
 Becky's Danish Fish and Chips! The best ever! The cheese atop the fish was plain heaven. I got some Alaskan one I think. It wasn't that good.
 Chocolate fudge cake and ice-cream! With an artificial cherry! I love artificial cherries!

And below, the undesirable remains...



Some of the cupcakes I brought home from Becky's places ages ago when we baked them one spontaneous morning! One is evidently burnt! Guess which? The pink polka dot and blue striped cupcake cups are so adorable!

And now, flash forward to this morning! I forgot it was Good Friday, obviously a public holiday... and a Friday, so movie tickets were a lot more expensive. I watched Mirror, Mirror alone (for the first time too!) at the nearest cinema to my home (it wasn't that bad, except the part where I was buying "just one" ticket, according to the ticket guy who was probably purposely making me miserable by asking for and making me fish for change...). The movie wasn't as awful as I expected it to be either. But I'll probably have to watch 'Snow White & the Huntsman' first before I do any full-scale evaluation of it! 
Lily Collins was pretty awesome as Snow White! And the costumes in the movie were mad pretty and looked tons heavy!

And while we're on the topic of Snow White, here are some really awesome graphics/sketches?! of the different Disney princesses! I had no idea who the center and right princesses in the third row were, and had to google before I managed to find out. Can you identify EVERY last one of them?

I met Becks for a bit after the movie ended, then joined my mother and brother at another shopping mall for lunch! My mother bought me a screen protection and new iPad case after that! Feel so blessed.
They were both not exactly too cheap either! 

My new iPad came home to me a day after I got back from Perth! It arrived earlier actually at my mom's office! The box weighed a total of 1.4kg!

 I love unboxing gadgets.
 I took a really long time getting everything back in order with the new iPad... trasferring apps, games and stuff.
 The new iPad case!

Just kidding it's not grey at all. It's a deep orange shade, made of hard fabric material!
 Exterior. This case actually has an automatic sleep/wake function, similar to the iPad Smart Cover, even though they didn't exactly state it on the cover box...
 Interior. The grey portions you see are velvet material, and the nude shade is plastic to protect the fragile sides of the iPad!

And guess what I earned after ice-skating on Wednesday for the first time ever...
Lo and behold! What a sight!
The ice rink! I wasn't able to take any photos while we were in the rink, but now I wish i had!
Reasons:
1. Becks and Mells came in the same striped shirts from H&M
2. I loaned the two similar pairs of leather gloves for the ice
3. The rink was a zoo! Ducks everywhere (and by that I mean noobs on the ice like us - except Mells, she picked it up pretty fast - clinging on to dear life on the barely-there railings)!

Below are some of the souvenirs I received! Place: Kuching, Sarawak!
 Becky's pile! A magnet, wooden clip and bubblegum tape! There was an additional Hong Kong Disneyland chocolate! Love 'em!
Elaine's! Cute keyfob!

Selenita Fairytale Princess

Since my favorite celebrity of all time is Selena Gomez now (it always has been, really), I'm a li'l more inclined to blog about her. Anyway, she recently did a photo shoot angled towards fairy tale princesses (it seems a lot like what Taylor Swift would do, imho). She reenacted scenes following the Disney (and non-Disney) princess stories:
- Cinderella
- Princess and the Pea
- Little Red Riding Hood
- Sleeping Beauty
Personally, I think she did a brilliant job channeling the Brothers Grimm! Which is your favorite scene of hers?
 Selena Gomez as Cinderella
 Selena Gomez in Princess and the Pea
 Selena Gomez as Red Riding Hood (This is most particularly my favorite among the rest!)
Selena Gomez as Sleeping Beauty

It's finally 31st December... and we enter year 2011 tomorrow! Damn. Frankly, I'm a wee bit scared of a whole new year, but not before the months of school break ends of course! A whole new class, new modules. Someone tell me how long I'm gonna have to go through with THIS?!! I wish I could just ship myself off to university elsewhere already, preferably down under, or Tassie! 
Of course, I'm a li'l nervous about the Mayan calendar prediction date - 21 December 2012, the end of the world! But I guess I could shelve that worry aside for another year and reduce, reuse and recycle as much as I can. Seeing as it's New Year's, I'll post all the highlights of 2010, and the expected ones of 2011 tomorrow! I know most normals usually do that on New Year's Eve, but I'm much too lazy to do it today. I'm watching Gulliver's Travels (not in 3D, sadly) later in the evening, and hopefully, my mother gets me that Juicy charm bracelet I've been eyeing on since, well, forever. That's the final thing that's on my 2010 wishlist that's not fulfilled! Well, that and the iPod Nano which I just added to days ago. I probably cannot ask for too much.
My 2010 wishlist as of now! I should probably revise it again and remove the iPod Nano. It looks better when the wishlist's fully complete... assuming I can get that charm bracelet from Juicy today! It's been a nice year for moi...wishlist-wise! I received lots! ;)

**UPDATE!!**
Back home! Met up with my mother to watch Gulliver's Travels (in 3D!!) downtown 'round 3 plus. My bro and I took a taxi (the traffic wasn't too bad, thank goodness - we reached the place with time to spare) and when we were in the district, it HAD to start raining heavily! I made a mistake wearing my Uggs. Shoulda gone with leather boots (with my leather jacket I'd donned) like my brother proposed. The movie theater was pretty all right, the seats were satisfactory comfy. Gulliver's Travels was just 90 minutes, but it rocked all kinds of awesome! Didn't expect to really like it, but it turned out amazing. Lots of laughs you can expect. Happy endings as usual. Plus, I totally love Jack Black, and Emily Blunt (she plays princess of Liliput)! 

We went to get burgers for dinner (or as my mother put it, the last meal of 2010!) at Mos, then to Juicy Couture to pick out my charm bracelet! We stood there by the displays contemplating two types. There was one which came with a discount (originally 230 bucks!) at 138. It came with ugly, plastic separate alphabets that spelt out JUICY. The gold on the bracelet wasn't the shiny kind either, so I went with the other. A gold puffed pave heart starter charm bracelet at 130 bucks! Whew, that was a long name for something so small! I love it so much!! Too bad it's gonna take a long while before I can afford to fill it up with different charms! I might get them from both Juicy or Tiffany & Co... mix it up a li'l! Took tons of photos of my new charm bracelet! I'm ecstatic I'd finally completed my wishlist for this year... for once!

The similar set taken from the Juicy official website! Looks a lot better than how I'd photographed mine :x
