Choices. . .

I wonder to myself if I made the right choices lately... =S

I plan to see a medium soon!

Worse than Labour?

About a year ago, my mum bought me a jade bracelet which I loved soooo much. Unfortunately, it broke, so when my mum went to the Far east this year, I made sure she'd buy me another one to replace the one that broke. My mum bought 2 for me! (just in case!)

Tonight, I finally soldiered it out and decided to put the bangle on!
It may seem like such a easy thing to do, but how you should buy your jade bangle is to measure your 3 middle fingers. Your fingers width should be the same as your wrist, so you buy that size and squeeze that bugger on! Does that make sense?
Well, I've got skinny fingers and skinny hands, so you can imagine how small the bangle looked. If you look at it, you'd think, "NO WAY IS THAT GONNA FIT!"

Well, anyway, I got mine, and covered my hand in loads of hair conditioner so that it can easily slip on, with the help of a plastic carrier bag. You make a hole in the bag, and place your hand through it, and bangle over it, so you can slide it down the hand.

It was the most horrific pain I have come across. Worse than the first time round! But at last, it is finally on, and it looks beautiful! Haha!



My mum couldn't stop laughing, as she thought at one point we could of fractured my hand of some sort.
My mum applied 'arnicare'. Which is a cream for bruises. My right hand is feeling hot, swollen, sore and it's bloody throbbing!

The things we do for the things we love eh?
Bloody worth it though!

The swelling will go down in like 5 days I hope! =S

Valkyrie

Last night, making the most of Orange Wednesdays, I went to watch the new Tom Cruise film, Valkyrie. I love history, war esqe sort of films, so Valkyrie was a MUST watch before any other new film out that week!



The film had started, and I was already half way into my ice cream, which I must say, was damn good. The vanilla pods made it!

The first scene of Cruise, in his tent, writing in his personal diary about the war he is fighting, (well, ment to be) for, then hears of a German speaker, which you expect of course. The German Cruise lasted for about 2 minutes, saying pretty much the basic German you would learn in Secondary school. Then.... it suddenly changes to a Tom Cruise speaking full on American English! Not only him, but the so called other NAZI soldiers too!

WHAT THE FU*K????

A German, World War 1 film in English? What ever happened to 'trying' to make you feel that the film was set during WW1?

Overall though, the film was amazing, but the fact it was ALL in English was a BIGGGGGG let down!

HEIL FUHRER!

4 out of 15 attempts to plot Hitler seen, 11 more to go!

Picture, Picture, Borough. Closed!


Obviously I didn't know it was being taken!
Food was yummy that day! =)

The New York Holiday. . .

The girls New York trip was not exactly relaxing, but more hectic, shop to shop, Starbucks to Starbucks, but mainly Forever 21 to Forever 21 kinda flex. (Forever 21 was the best shop there!)
We all had different flights to the other 2 but luckily, my sister, cousin and I managed to get a row of 3 seats together and it was pleasant! Movies were slightly dead though!

When we arrived, we literally dropped our luggages off and went out for some dinner...
We went to a restaurant called 'JACK's" (I think) near Times Square, and the restaurant looked pretty good. Everyone had ordered their mains, and I opted for the chicken hotpot! Wrong fucking choice! It was disgusting!

ERGH!
I had to scavenge off Tieu Ly and Myanh to feed my hunger! What a waste of $19!
We then had a boring night as we all went back to our hotel rooms to sleep and get up early the next day for a hard core shopping day!

I can't actually remember our itinery for our trip, but lets just say it was shopping shopping shopping.
Here are a few pics of the trip!








Crazy jumping moments in Central Park...


One of the nicest hot dogs I've had! Honest...

Our hotel room became a joke after 1 day... Imagine it after 4 days! It was chaos! I felt sorry for the maid!

Can't be bothered to upload more pics anymore, as I have to get back to my uni work, but overall it was a great trip! After getting back to London, I felt I needed a real holiday, so I'm glad Barcelona will be that! =)

Barcelona

Yay!
I am flying out to Barcelona in like 2 weeks! Last minute booking but overly excited! YAY!!!
Staying at the sea front and got an amazing deal!

Booked a guided tour of Barcelona FC Stadium, so I'm dead excited about that!



A lazy needed break, as New York was hectic as hell!!!!

Gosh! Hurry up already! =)

At Long Last!

For the time the London Eye has been a tourist attraction in London, I have never been on it, or had the time to go and visit this wheel of life.
Yesterday, Matt took me to the London Eye and it was nice. View was good, especially at night and I felt like a real tourist! Camera and all! 2-3 camerea BTW.... Ha! (Tourist for real!)

Walking back along Southbank was the BEST!

Thanks to Ryan for the tickets! =)

Ben was having shot after shot. I was going crazy on the Coca Colas. Aaron was being Canadian, and as usual, Joshua being gay. Ha! =)

Free NYC Condoms!

Ha!
When I was in New York 2 weeks ago, the shoe store Steve Madden were giving away protection, not to protect your leather, or the suede on your shoes, but from sexually transmitted diseases! They were all stuffed in a giant fishbowl and you could help yourself. Of course I did. I mean, it had 'NYC' on it! (so sad!)
New York souvenir mannnnnnn!



I have them available to give away, if your feeling horny.

Overly Excited!

I almost creamed my pants when I had this dessert in Carluccio's. Fuck me, was it the nicest warm chocolate fudge cake and vanilla ice cream ever!

It's ALOT!
